Is your Samsung dryer making strange noises, not heating properly, or simply refusing to turn on? A broken dryer disrupts your routine, leaving laundry piled up and adding stress to your already busy life. We understand the frustration and inconvenience this causes.
The problem can quickly escalate from a minor annoyance to a major headache. Searching for reliable repair information online can be overwhelming, and attempting DIY fixes can sometimes worsen the situation. You need a fast, trustworthy, and affordable solution.

Check the power cord and outlet to ensure the dryer is receiving power.
Inspect the lint filter and clean it thoroughly. A clogged lint filter can restrict airflow and cause overheating.
Check the circuit breaker in your electrical panel to ensure it hasn't tripped.
For your safety, unplug the appliance and shut off any gas supply before proceeding. Visually inspect the dryer vent for any kinks or blockages.
Ensure the dryer door is fully closed and latched. A loose door can prevent the dryer from starting.
Q: My Samsung dryer is displaying the error code 'AE3'. What does this mean?
A: The 'AE3' error code indicates a problem with your dryer's touch control panel. This could be due to a faulty connection, a problem with the touch sensor itself, or moisture or debris interfering with the sensor. For your safety, unplug the appliance before proceeding. You can try power cycling the dryer by unplugging it for 60 seconds and then plugging it back in. Also, ensure the control panel is clean and dry. If the problem persists, it's best to contact a qualified technician.
Q: What should I do if my Samsung dryer is making loud noises?
A: Loud noises can indicate a problem with the drum rollers, the idler pulley, or the blower wheel. For your safety, unplug the appliance and shut off any gas supply before proceeding. While you can visually inspect these components, attempting repairs yourself can be dangerous. It's best to contact a qualified technician for diagnosis and repair.
Q: My Samsung dryer is not heating. What could be the problem?
A: Several issues can cause a dryer not to heat, including a faulty heating element, a malfunctioning thermal fuse, or a problem with the control board. For your safety, unplug the appliance before proceeding. You can check the circuit breaker to ensure the dryer is receiving power. However, further troubleshooting should be left to a professional technician to avoid potential hazards.
Q: My dryer shows a 'tE' error. What can I do?
A: The 'tE' code signals a problem with the dryer's thermistor. This could be a faulty thermistor or a wiring issue. A clogged dryer vent can also cause inconsistent readings. Ensure your dryer vent is clear and the lint filter is clean. If the problem persists, it's best to contact a professional for diagnosis and repair.
The decision to repair or replace your Samsung dryer depends on several factors. The age of your appliance plays a significant role. If your dryer is relatively new and the repair cost is reasonable, repairing is usually the most cost-effective option. However, if your dryer is older and requires expensive repairs, it might be more sensible to invest in a new, energy-efficient model.
The type of problem also influences the decision. Minor issues like a faulty thermostat or a worn belt are typically inexpensive to fix. However, major problems involving the motor, control board, or heating element can be costly. Our technicians at Volt & Vector will provide you with an honest assessment and help you make the best decision for your situation.

Great people to deal with. Called and set up appointment right away. Mark came and fixed the issue right away. Very friendly and respectful. Will use again. Thanks guys.
Amazing service every time! I work for a multi-use property in lower Manhattan and we have used Volt & Vector for at least 20+ jobs and I can honestly say they do incredible and reliable work. Vlad is a pleasure to work with, he is honest and his pricing is fair. Highly recommend!
Excellent experience with Vlad! He came day of to help fix a laundry machine issue. He was on time, a clear communicator about the issue and fixed it with ease. He came back the following day (at no charge!) when I reached out with further information about how the machine was working to confirm everything was working properly/as intended. Excellent service and will absolutely be working with them again when we have future needs. Can’t recommend enough!
I split my time between Italy and NYC and manage several Airbnb units. Scheduling used to take too much energy around guest check-ins and turnovers. With Volt & Vector Appliance Repair, the routine became predictable: clear 2-hour windows (9–11am or 12–2pm), a text with ETA, written pricing (diagnostic credited), before/after photos, and a short summary after each visit. Over ~30 repairs in two years: washers, dryers, dishwashers, ranges, a refrigerator seal. They’ve kept me informed and moved quickly on parts (usually 24–48 hours when ordered). Access and lockboxes are handled without drama, work areas are left clean, and my reviews stayed steady. Hosting from abroad is easier when maintenance is this consistent. Strong recommend for Brooklyn and Manhattan hosts.
