What Sucks About the SAMSUNG DRYER

What do the Samsung dryer and a soda can have in common? Well...you'll have to watch this video to find out. Yes, this is what sucks about this Samsung dryer! After having this Samsung dryer for less than 3 years, let me show you how it is absolutely useless now and has to go in the trash.

What brand laundry appliances do you have? Do they work? Do you like them? Let me know because clearly I have to get new ones.

Demand new laws from your goverment to protect the customer better. In my country, Norway, its 5 years free repair on items like this

What is a necessity to have a matching appliances? Just buy a new dryer and you are all set

The only issues I have had with my 1963 RCA Whirlpool Imperial Mark XII set is: had to replace the hose that goes from the pump to the lint filter, and put new light bulbs in the control panel and that’s about it for the washer. Now all the dryer needed was a new drum light and blower/fan belt and a lint clean out and that’s it. Can’t complain about doing doing those minor repairs to a washer and dryer set that’s 57 years old.

I have had my samsung washer and dryer for 6 years now. We have one of the older models. We had to replace the heating element twice ($20) and the front panel on the washer ($70). I love my washer and dryer! However, I would not scrap the whole set, I would just get another dryer.

I'm in the market for a new dryer but I really don't care if it matches my washer or not just so it works.

The rollers that the drum sits and turns on probably went out especially the one over the exhaust vent that gets exposed to a lot of heat. That in turn caused the drum to wear on that metal piece harder. I have a similar Samsung drier that is 6 years old. The first 4 years were great but the last couple years I’ve had to replace the belt tensioner, the drum rollers, abs now something is up with the heating part of it.

Just bought new Samsung washer and dryer. Bought the 5 year warranty and if I don't use it that full value goes towards a store credit. Seeing as how my old washer flooded my house from the top down, I will be flipping washer and dryer every 5 years going forward. New stuff is nice but built cheap.

Had my basic turn the knob and push start GE dryer for 15 years. I had a Samsung for 2 years and already has problems. Needs a new control board because it won't turn off. Warranty was 12 months. Plus all the new "energy efficient" models take twice as long to wash or dry. Going back to the basics

I totally agree with you about products just aren’t made the same as they use too. I just got rid of my parents old Montgomery Wards washing machine from 1987 and got a Samsung but I’m keeping my dryer, they’re both white and as long as it dries my clothes I’m holding on to the wheels fall off 😂 thanks for the video

You know that waster and dryer dont need to match to work right?

"This washer is pretty much worthless without the matching dryer!" wut....??? #firstWorldProblems

Samsung never again. 3yrs old and I've replaced almost every part. The heating element failed/broke 3x's

I don't know. My Samsung dryer was purchased in 2010. Since that time, I've had to replace the heating element due to my negligence (skipped a vent cleaning). Its just now started to make a rumbling noise, so I figured a roller or two had worn out. Bought kit off Amazon (rollers, belt, tensioner) and took the dryer apart only to find the rollers and tensioner were in excellent shape. I installed the new ones anyway, reassembled, and started...same damn noise. Closer inspection showed cracks in the drum along the roller path. Thought about trying some JB Weld, but luckily was able to find a replacement drum on line that was in stock. I was surprised to see how thin the drum metal actually is. OTOH, my mother's Maytag dryer ran for 20 years without a single issue. Our Samsung washer crapped out at the five year mark (ours is blue, which is no longer made). Lesson: always by white appliances.

My wife wants this washer and dryer. I have a kitchen aid pair from the 70's and they still work great.

I bought my Samsung washer and dryer in 2009. Now at the end of 2024 both are still working good. I had to replace the belt 5 years ago, it cost me 19$. Now I just replaced the element that cost me 22$.

[libaaxalee]

I got a newer version of Samsung and let me tell you something, belt and idler pully both needed to be replaced in less than 2 years of hardly used. I went to Amazon and replaced both on my own. If this thing breaks again I am totally done with Samsung products for good.

You could go to places were they recycle washers and dryers and get these part really chip, itelling you this cuz I work on on of those places,

[vudoodaddie]

I have multiple Samsung products that failed prematurely: TV, refrigerator, microwave, washer, and phones. Samsung is NOT getting another dime from me from now on.

I came across your video while searching on how to fix a 5yr old Samsuck, I inherited from my folks when they passed. I left my 19+yr old dryer that ran great, when I sold my place & wish I hadn't. I bought a phone & laptop that I returned because they wouldn't work & thought it was just me who had issues, since everyone is always going on about them. After seeing all the post about their products not working. I don't feel so bad. Thanks for the video:)

I am an appliance technician. My advice: stay away from Samsung appliances. Looks great, but poorly designed. Whirpool, Maytag, Speed Queen / Hubash machines are much better.
