A Samsung dryer is a reliable appliance that can provide years of convenience and quality laundering. But if your unit starts making unusual noises, it can be difficult to know what’s wrong. That’s why we will provide an overview of the common sounds you might hear while using your appliance, as well as how to fix some of the most common issues.
If your Samsung dryer makes a rattling noise, the first step is to level your appliance. It’s important that all four feet of the dryer are in contact with the floor and that they’re all at an equal height so that the spinning drum inside is balanced.
To level the unit, use a carpenter’s level placed on top of the machine between its two front legs. Adjust each leg until you get an even reading on each side of the dryer. Once you have done this, close up any access panels and start up your appliance again to see if this has fixed the problem.
Next, check your exhaust vent. If the vent is not aligned correctly, it could be hitting something and creating a rattling sound. To properly align it, first make sure that all of the screws are tightened down and secure.
Then, look at where the exhaust pipe exits out of your home. If it is misaligned or off-center, use a leveler to adjust its angle so that it points outward. Make sure that there are no obstructions blocking its path, such as dirt or debris buildup on either side of the vent opening or within the pipe itself.
One of the most common reasons for the Samsung dryer thump noise is the overloaded drum. If items are too large, they can cause the drum to become off balance and make a thumping sound when spinning. To prevent this from happening, always ensure that each load of laundry is not too large or heavy for the drum to handle.
Additionally, you should turn items with large or oversized buttons, snaps, or zippers inside out before putting them into the dryer. This will allow them to lay flat against the inside of the drum and prevent any excess vibration that could cause a loud thump sound.
Another potential cause could be loose components within the dryer, such as screws or bolts that have been dislodged during transportation or installation. If this is suspected to be the case, you can open up your machine yourself and check if any components are loose and need tightening. If so, use appropriate tools to tighten them back into place properly.
A humming noise is completely normal and nothing to be concerned about. This is because the motor pulls air out of the dryer. It’s this process that helps to remove moisture from your clothes and helps them to dry faster. The noise is usually only noticeable when the machine starts up, as the motor will speed up or slow down based on how much moisture needs to be removed from your load.
If you continue to hear a humming noise from your Samsung dryer after the cycle ends, this could indicate an issue with one of its components, and you should contact a technician for further assistance. Additionally, if the noise suddenly gets louder or more frequent, it may indicate a more serious problem, such as bearing failure or motor malfunction that requires professional attention right away in order to prevent further damage.
When a Samsung dryer is making grinding, squealing or squeaking noises, it is typically caused by the load being too heavy. The dryer has an internal motor that can become overworked when the clothes are too heavy or wet and cause it to make a loud grinding sound.
To fix this issue, you should reduce the size of the load in your dryer. If possible, try drying a few items at once rather than one large load and make sure all of your items are evenly distributed throughout the drum.
Additionally, be sure not to overload your machine with more clothing than recommended by its manufacturer, as this can lead to additional strain on the motor and cause further issues.
