Samsung Dryer Won’t Stop Spinning - Easy Fix!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 авг 2020
- If your Samsung dryer is out of warranty like mine, and it will not stop spinning even if you turn it off, here is a fix that worked for me. Only tool needed is a screwdriver - no parts to buy!
Like at least one other person commented, I just smacked the back left corner where the control board is located 3 or 4 times and...it fixed the problem. No disassembly required!
U are the real mvp
Thanks, for this tip. Just performed a couple of
hard taps on the back left of the dryer. Only had this dryer for 2.5 years.
@@jpmavichana same bro !!! This literally worked for me ! 4 smack-er-roos !!!! Shut the door ….not tumbling on off anymore bahahahaha ! Made sure it still worked and it turned on ! Genius ! One guy was talking about replacing the PCB I’m like mannnnnnn I ain’t got time for that either lmao .
Wow!!! It works! I had to unscrew the head cover though, because i didn't know what area the board was located but I didn't have to unscrew the board. The moment I located the board I hit 3 times and boom! A MIRACLE HAPPENED! Lol. You just saved me over 300 bucks!
I slapped it one time problem solved.ty
It's because of people like you that the world is still good.. you honestly just saved me a bunch of time and money and made me look like a hero to my family. 😊😊
Same! Family thinks I’m a super hero now!
Thank you! I didn't even have to open it up. My son gave it a good "whack" on the side which was enough to reset the relay. He called it the "Slamsung" technique. Actual Samsung customer service was pathetic. Dryer is only 2 years old. They offered to repair for almost $400 or give me a $50 discount on purchase of new unit.
Thanks! While the country was obsessing about the eclipse I was able to save hundreds of dollars fixing my dryer myself. Appreciate your video.
I think all these front load washers/dryers look so pretty, but they don't seem to hold up like the regular old top loads.
I regret buying Samsung front loaders, Whirlpool front loaders are the best. I had my for over 15yrs. Washer went out and decided to buy a new set, but like an idiot I bought Samsung instead of another Whirlpool.
Good video, April! Clear, easy to follow, and with non-technical explanation. The background about older machines helps too. Thank you!
My husband is out of town camping and this video was EVERYTHING! Super clear and easy tutorial. Worked like a charm! Thank you!!
Just used your video to fix my dryer and it worked beautifully. Can’t thank you enough for taking the time to make this video! And yes, calling Samsung was an exercise in futility.
Thank you for this video. Just when I thought that I would have to call someone to fix my dryer, here you came to save the day! Even though mine is a different model no. Samsung and looked a bit different inside, the technique itself still worked! Much appreciated!
I'll probably end up needing to replace the PCB, but April, you just saved me a couple of days wait for a diagnosis from a home warranty program. Thanks!
Hey, April. Thanks for the great video. Tapping on the relays fixed my issue on my dryer. I know this dryer all too well now inside and out. Thanks for taking the time to record your experience.
I love when people post something simple like this that seems like it could be so daunting. Totally worked for me!
Omg YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER! And so is the guy you saw this from. It works! You were very clear and easy to understand.
Thank you for posting this video. I pulled the wires apart from the board and that solved the issue. You are a hero. Samsung should honor you and praise you with many shares of stock.
Happened to my dryer last week. Your trick worked like a charm. Thanks for taking the time to post it.
You are a life saver! I did exactly what you did on my LG dryer and it worked. I did not want to buy another dryer! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! This video works exactly!
This really worked. Our Samsung is a different model but we were having the same problem. Unplugging didn’t work but the tapping did. You saved us some money. Thank you so much.
Thanks so much for taking the time to post this helpful video. Woke up yesterday morning and went downstairs to find the dryer still running from the night before. Open the door and it stops; close the door and it starts back up. Anyway, I found your video and checked the two relays. Sure enough, the one had continuity across the terminals with the dryer off and unplugged. I tapped it a few times, and it went open. What a relief! It’s only been a day, but so far it hasn’t stuck again. Thank you!
Thank you for posting this!!! Saved me tons of time and stress AND I feel awesome that I fixed my own dryer haha ❤
Perfect fix. My dryer was doing this. Flipped the breaker and it worked for a little while. Then, it wouldn't start at all. I did exactly what you showed and it worked perfectly! I'll probably end up ordering the part, but for now, no trips to the laundromat! Appreciate the great video!
Thank you so much! I literally had the Samsung website up ready to schedule a service for this same issue when I decided to do a RUclips search "samsung dryer won't stop spinning", and your video was the first search result. I followed your directions, and it worked! You have saved me from an expensive service call!
I have the same exact model as you, and this issue has been driving me INSANE for the past six months. I've tried unplugging and re-plugging the wires before without effect. I opened it again, tapped the relays just like you did, and...problem solved! Thank you SO MUCH!
My wife just went starry eyed at me. I appreciate you helping me out. Super easy fix!
Thanks April. You made my day. I hope that all of these positive vibes find their way to you.
This is one of the best tips I've ever seen on RUclips! Stumbled across it while looking for a replacement circuit board for my Samsung dryer. As many have said below, I also have a different model, but this worked like a champ! Saved me a lot of money and time. Thanks!!
Like everyone else who commented on this video, I'm so thankful that you posted this! Simple and quick :)
Thank you so much! This worked. You made me feel that I could do this myself. The repair guy wasn’t coming for a week & I really didn’t want to go to the laundromat! Bless you💕
Thanks so much. I was sick thinking about buying another dryer. Especially during the holidays.
Worked Perfectly! Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Saved me time and money. My husband thought we were going to have to buy a new dryer. Thanks again.
I am so glad it helped!
Thank April!!! My dryer started doing this today. I followed your steps and my dryer is working normal again. 🙏🏾
Thank you so much. I saw the original video and that didn’t work until I found yours. Samsung dryer now works. Repair man wanted $300. Just over two years old. Thank you.
What a great tip!!! Fixed our dryer right away. Thanks for posting this!!! We had the same problem about a year ago and disconnected all of the leads to the circuit board; apparently this jostled the relay enough to reset it, but this time it didn't help. Your tip- giving the relay a rap- worked great!!
Awesome, so glad it helped!
THANK YOU! This was the fix. I appreciate your hard work in figuring out this issue and providing a concise answer
THANK YOU! You just saved me a ton of frustration, and $$! My dryer is back up and running, as it should be.
Worked for me :) Mine has done this at least 3 times now. Once we had a guy fix it, another time it just fixed itself after a couple days (or someone bumping the dryer?). Great teaching style. Your voice is clear, not too fast and easy to listen to.
This totally worked by tapping on it! I tried the unplugging over and over and it didn't work. So I said to myself lets try the tapping. I skipped the unplugging and just tapped everything like you did and now its heating and it stopped it from running and running even when turned off. Thanks so much.
Thanks for posting this video! You just saved me $350. This happened to my dryer a couple years ago and that’s what a appliance shop charged me. It just happened again today and I said to myself someone on RUclips has to have a cheaper solution and your video was the first one I clicked on.
My lg just did same. Thanks for your video. Although our dryers are different I was able to basically figure out what to make sure was connected tightly on mine and after lots of fidgeting trying to figure out how to open the top and the front panel- then checking connections, , the dryer is working again. Grateful for videos like this on RUclips
This actually worked on my Kenmore front load dryer that is 10 years old.... It lives for another year!! THANK YOU!!!
Thank you so much! You saved us a lot of troubles! Really needed the dryer to work in a remote place, with a newborn.
Thank you. Works like a magic. Samsung technicians diagnose costly control panel replacement. Your solution works. Thank you again.
Thank you so much. My wife and I are really grateful. You saved us an expensive service call.
Thank you SO MUCH for posting this. My dryer was not heating up or shutting off. Apparently there are no Samsung repair people in my neck of the woods.
I unnecessarily replaced the element before I found you! You’re brilliant!❤️
My dryer was spinning continuously unless I unplugged it, and also not heating. I just did your trick and it works great. My Samsung is a 2020 model and the two switches look slightly different than yours but located in the same place on the controller. In addition to the tapping with a srewdriver, I unplugged them and plugged them back in. Thanks for taking the time to make the video!
Thank you so much for this. This literally just saved me $130 on a board. Have my first load in right now. So far so good!
This 5 minute fix saved me a ton of hassle and headache! Thank you!
I highly doubt it took you 5 minutes
@@dimitriwoiciechowski6561 8 minutes then if longer than 5. It saved me a pile of time and money to a repair shop.
IT WORKED!!!!! So dryer kept spinning despite pressing the power button. Uplug it and it stopped then plugged it back in and it is spinning and not drying. Called lowes they sent me to Samsung, which sent me back to lowes because the warranty expired. Good thing I had purchased the extended warrantee 2 years ago but lowes said I'd have to wait two weeks for the service man to come from Samsung. Watched this video, and opened it up, gave it a few knocks, and problem solved. Wow Thanks
PERFECT. Same model, same problem, same FIX. I had to take all the leads off the board and then reconnect (tried knocking it around gently first).
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Booked a repair with company that I bought this dryer from a week out and $139 up front to book. Looked at ten videos before I came across yours. You had the fix Cheers and thanks to you!!!
We bought Samsung front loading washer and dryer about 3 years ago. I had to replace the drain pump in the washer and that was quite a job but I found a great you tube that showed how to disassemble the washer to get to the pump. (I also found a couple of videos to help me troubleshoot what the heck was wrong). We found the new pump at an appliance parts store in Manchester NH and the washer now works great.
Today was the 3rd time (about 8 months apart?) that the relay got stuck. It took 5 min to fix it.
Thanks so much
David
Thank you very much for the tip. I was ready to call Samsung support. It worked as advertised, so you saved my day.
Thank you I have a Samsung dryer and had the same issue. Had an appliance repair guy come just to confirm the issue and he charged me around $500.00. I declined and followed your steps and it started working as normal.
Fixed it!! Thank you so much. My dryer is only two months old! So glad I found your video.
Thank you so much for this video!
I just had to replace my Samsung washer and spent $800 on a new one. And my drier just started doing this. I hit the back of my drier a few times on each side with the bottom of a hammer and it’s back to working. Thank you so much again!!
Thank you dryer Lady. This tutorial saved us a lot of frustration.
I am a professional appliance repairman, (one of the highest - rated ones in my big city) and I am impressed! Although it may or may not last a long time it sure is worth trying to see how it goes! Thanks April!
Thank you. My 7 year old dryer "Samsung dv395gtpawr/a1" wont stop spinning. Almost ordered the Control board, but before hit buy checked this video. I unplugged & re-plugged plus tapped those as shown. Works fine.
Dear April, You are my hero of the Year. I went through all of the steps you mentioned and more. I bought a parts dryer for parts and I was considering buying another one. Samsungs online service help is really a joke just like you discovered. I did a lot of online searching to find the cause of my problem and you were the only one that provided the cause and the solution. I wish there was an online Award for Great Advice. Consider this a nomination. What’s even better is you did it to help other people. Thanks Very Much, Bob Everett ( Canada )
Thank you so much for this! I've had my dryer almost six years, and thought I had escaped the Samsung curse, but nope... You made fixing it so easy! Thank you again!!!
Praise you. I don’t know if that would work for me but I love that you did this and you did it by yourself!!!! You’re a boss!!!
Sure enough my 1.5yo dryer started doing this yesterday and your video was exactly what I needed. Not sure if tapping the relays alone did it, but I did find one connector on the control board was a bit loose so I reseated it. Thanks for the video, was very helpful.
Yes, easy fix, shared this with friends having the same problem, and sometimes you can tap on the corner a few times and it clears it. Thank you !!!!
Thank you! It worked! I had the entire control board replaced about a year ago due to this same issue! Costs me $250!
Thanks for this, after watching your video I decided to just try using a block of wood and a hammer on the top left hand side of the dryer after a couple of good whacks PRESTO. Didn't take anything apart or move the dryer! Thanks again.
April, Thank you so much for this video . Had EXACTLY the same problem with same stackable system (different model). Anyway, it was going to cost me an arm and a leg to get someone in here to fix it. I tried this yesterday and it worked perfectly for me. Every detail was spot-on. Bottom line is it worked!! Keep the great stuff coming. Rich
Thank you. It worked.
Another dryer saved, and I was able to stave off from having to buy a new dryer.
Great video, and tip.
This video was fantastic, and so are you!! Thank you so much for posting! I have the same dryer only it is about 8 years old . You saved the day! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I had watched the one beer guy and did his trick a few months ago, but your trick with hitting the black boxes did it this time around. And yes, Samsung is incredibly unhelpful. They cancelled my service order because they couldn’t find anyone to service my dryer (I live in a major metropolitan area!)...after 3 weeks waiting to hear from them. Won’t buy Samsung again, but glad to have extended the life by a little bit with your trick! Thanks!
Success! I have same model Samsung as in video. Unplugging the power cord for 15 minutes didn't work for me. Tapping hard on the top-left corner of metal case without disassembling didn't work for me. Only the method in this video worked: Unscrew and remove the top metal panel. Unscrew the metal case holding the circuit board. Then I tapped each of the 2 black boxy relay cases, as hard as I could with the screwdriver handle, about 15 times. Reassembled. Worked. Much thanks!
3 years later and this still does the trick! Thanks for sharing your tip! It worked 🎉❤
Thank you thank you. As a woman I was so glad you made it simple to understand. Short and sweet
It worked! My Samsung was a different model and required a bit of looking around under the hood so to speak. Once I did locate the black boxes all I did was tap on them a few times and voila! Easy peasy and saved money on parts or a service call. Thank you!!
Thank you April Nelson for your you tube video on the Samsung dryer. My husband and I tried what your video said and it worked beautifully. Thank you so much.
This worked. Thank you so much. You saved me from a headache. 🙂
THANK YOU! This fix worked for me right away. I gave the relays a little slap, unplugged them and plugged them back in just be be sure. This has made my day!! LOL
My girlfriend was getting mad cause the dryer wouldn't stop you saved my day haha
Found this video and even though I have a different model of Samsung dryer the fix still worked. Thank you for posting this and showing the step by step process in an easy to follow manner.
I did exactly that, can’t believe it worked! Smacked it 3 times with the back of a screw driver and it all fixed! Thank you! .. i told this to a few of my friends and they didn’t believe me either!
THIS IS AMAZING! Well done, young lady! I have an 8 year old Samsung Dryer. Same model. Had the Service Guard people here. They ordered a new board but left the dryer in its "broken" state. So, I tried your hack and ir worked! I realize it may be just a temporoary fix but the damn thing works! And, we really need the dryer. Part is on back order so we'll have to wait for the "permanent" fix.
Great info
Fixed our dryer in about a total of 5 minutes. Thanks for the tip.
Thank you so very much. This worked a treat even on my LG dryer. Like you I'll have to keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't get stuck again, but that's no big deal compared to having to pay for repairs or a new dryer.
Thank you so much! You took it one step further from the fix recommended by OneBeer Job by getting to the root cause- stuck relays. Today I just tapped them with my screwdriver and it worked! We need a permanent tap mechanism build into the control panel ;) YOU ARE THE BEST. Thanks!
I had zero confidence this would work. But it did!!! Thank you!!!
April, thank you so much for taking the time and do the research for this problem. You just save me time and money. Hope you still doing well with your washer and dryer😊
Glad I found this! It fixed my issue of the drum not stopping and no heat. If it's a temp fix, so be it, but the dryer is a dryer again... I tapped on it and tried it but it still didn't work. Maybe didn't tap hard enough? So I removed it, tapped it again, but harder, disconnected the double black plug under the double white plug, reconnected it and it works now. Thanks much!
Thank you! This worked great! I only had to take the display part of my model off to get to the board so it’s a bit easier.
Just want to add my thanks to the list. This worked and it felt good to get some brownie points from my wife. She thinks it was hard, but it was easy.
This hitting with screwdriver fixed my 2 year old dryer Samsung electric dryer Model DV40J3000
Thanks for the video
i still cant believe it was something this simple. Me, the least handy man in the world, was actually able to fix something. THANK YOU!!!!
Awesome! Thank you April! This surprisingly worked on my Samsung (non-stackable) DV45H7000EW/A2 Electric Dryer. This was after trying to unplug it and following the Samsung guidelines. Our family thanks you!
As of yesterday morning my dryer wouldn't turn off.. Found this RUclips video and followed it to the T.. Even tho computer board not in the same place I guess because of different model.. It works properly now..
Thank you..
Your tapping method worked on my stand alone dryer as well! Amazing and thank you!!
Yep, happened to me as well. Dryer was 2 years and 2 months old. I live by myself so I use the dryer maybe 2 times per week so it is not overly used. I could not get to my dryer myself due to how it is set up in my kitchen.
So I had to call Samsung and he came with a new mother board. I asked him to try to just tap on the cables as you suggested. However, he told me it would happen again so I let him replace the motherboard. $80 service call $80 labor (4 min instillation for new board if that). $145 for the new board so for a grand total of $329 it was fixed. It came with a 90 day warranty (why not a one year I asked him)? I wish I had read the reviews on this washer/dryer combo and would have perhaps avoided the headache as well as the cost.
This is the second time I watched this video. First time my wife did it and it worked. A year or two later it needed to be done again so I did it myself and woohoo. Worked again. Thank you. Saving money is always the best!
I used your method 2 times and it worked both times. You are a champ for posting this. Thank you!
If you're ever in central MA, lemme know...I owe you a thank you. This worked like a charm, and I'm not electronically knowledgeable. Thanks!
Excellent! I was about to buy a new dryer and tried this first. It worked perfectly. Thank you
It worked!!! I just tap on relay. Yes. I sand and painted some rust on the top of dryer since I had it off!!! You go!!!
You are awesome!!! I was all aggravated that I'd have to buy a new board. I still may have to, but this has it working for now. Thank you.
Just had this happen to my Samsung Dryer... less than 2 years old... SUPER FRUSTRATED WITH THIS!!! Thanks for the help.
