Samsung Dryer Won't Start or Spin - Troubleshooting and Repair Guide

In this video I show you how to troubleshoot a Samsung dryer that won't start or spin. There are a few things that can cause this problem with your dryer and you'll need to know how to repair and fix them to get it running again.
The first thing we test is the control board. The motor circuit relay is on the board and sends power through the motor to start the dryer. If the belt switch or thermal fuse is tripped, then it won't start and you can't dry your clothes.

I just discovered this awesome video tonight and wanted to comment on the helpful content and awesome music. Sorry to read Bill died in 2016. Too young, but still helping from the great beyond. Thanks to Bill's family for keeping this video up! 👍👍👍 I never knew you in real life, but RIP Bill, and thank you!

My son texted me this video after his dryer stopped working. I’ve got him trained now to search RU-vid before he calls me. Great content exceptionally well done. Straight to the point and eliminates the stuff you don’t need to see. I’m subscribed.

Very professional, right to the point. No babbling nonsense. Very concise. Best DYI video I have ever watched.

@bugwitz21 7 лет назад

Bill, you make very clear and concise diy videos! I recently had a Samsung dryer quit on me and needed help troubleshoot. For someone like me with decent mechanical yet limited electrical/electronic skills your videos are very helpful! Please keep up the good work! 🤓

Thank you for this video, I had called Samsung. They told us sounded like the belt. We followed your video. You saved us over $200+ dollars.

@earnesttorres4831 5 лет назад

Thank you. I’ve had this dryer for eight years and it has went down on me 3 times and all 3 times the part never cost over 30$ and repairs never took more than an hour. So grateful for guys like you who put the time and effort to get us diy guys going.

Same here. This is the 3rd time it has gone down. 1st belt, 2nd heating element, now the belt again. Great Video!

@davidstaker2756 7 лет назад

Thanks Bill! Your video helped me find the problem! In my case it was a bad thermal cut off, cost me 20 bucks to get back up and running. I really appreciate you taking the time and making this so much easier for all of us!

@krystalshuff3948 3 года назад

I want to thank you for such an amazing video. You saved me and my husband from needing to replace our dryer tonight. We used this video and the how to replace a belt video to troubleshoot our system. We fixed the dryer without even needing additional parts. Thank you so much.

@allen75201 6 лет назад

Great video. I've never really done any troubleshooting on appliances, but this made it super easy and gave me the confidence to open up the dryer and see what's going on. I have a newer model than the one in the video, but as soon as I removed the top cover I could see the belt was broken. $20 part that I can replace myself compared to a $150 service call (plus parts). THANKS!

@brigbrizz 2 года назад

I hate, hate, hate my dryer at this point, but after the third failure in the past 2 years, at least I know now to find "Bill Newberry dryer wont start" on RU-vid. Dude, these videos have been invaluable. Thank you so much for putting them together and making them available!

@petec1484 7 лет назад

Bill, thank you, you are the man. Your video showed me how to get through the disassembly and troubleshooting, which made it so much easier for me to isolate the problem part. I bought the new part for $8 and the dryer is working like new.

@marka.4266 2 года назад

Thank you. I feel that I can at least troubleshoot what might be going on with my dryer if not actually able to repair on my own. Your step-by-step, detailed, rational and drama-free presentation was very much appreciated!

@gursmeetahluwalia5380 Год назад

Bill I changed my dryer belt while watching your video. Thank you so much for your amazing work 🙏

@Jagerhund 2 года назад

Our circuit board was different with no obvious ground wire so we were unable to check that portion. Checking the motor directly we found that the resistance was 3.6 ohm. That should have been 1.8 for the starter coil. Turns out, our centrifugal switch was stuck in the 'on' position, allowing the motor to spin, but not get started on it's own. Would never have figured that all out without your video. Thanks so much for saving us hundreds of dollars in repair.

@6jefes948 2 года назад

I'm a handy guy but have never worked on a dryer before. When my wife came asking for her hero because the dryer would power up but not start, I dug in. With the help of your videos I was able to disassemble the dryer far enough to determine that the belt had just come off the tensioner and pulley. I easily put it back on and the dryer is back to working great. Thank you for making me look so smart. :)

@MarkBeanNJ 3 года назад

Thank you for an informative and helpful video. My Samsung dryer failed twice and each time I was able to follow your instructions and fix it myself. First was the belt last May and then it was the thermal fuse this week. Both were less than $10 in parts and easy to repair after following your instructions.

@alanking9797 3 года назад

Hey my man! Excellent video! My thermal fuse was bad. I followed your video step by step. Tested the thermal fuse as bad... Replaced it. Paid 6.07 at Amazon. I owe you. Keep up the good work!

@axeman1063 5 лет назад

All of you videos are great Bill. FYI, I picked up a set of bed of nails alligator clips through ATS ($5 a pair) I connect them to my meter leads in tight spots, or rather than removing switches to test continuity, in circuit testing, automotive shorts (with a homemade long test lead) etc. They came on my tone sender for Data/Telephony job. Invaluable when there are hundreds of wires and I just need to identify one or two pair!

@ronking5787 Год назад

@nicksmith4952 8 лет назад

Thanks for the video Bill! I was able to use your belt replacement link to fix mine. Discovered my belt was loos when I took the top off and the only problem turned out to be the pulley spring came off. Put it back on and used the video to guide me to get the belt back on.

@kristynveid2404 7 лет назад

Thank you so much, u gust saved us from throwing away a 6 yr old dryer. My husband used your video as a guide and was able to figure out we had a bad thermal sensor on the blower due to me not cleaning the lint out enough. The sensor had no continuity and we used a pice of wire to bridge the sensor wires and it turned on. Now we just need to figure out where to buy the thermal sensor. Thank you so much!

After replacing my belt to no avail, I stumbled across this video. I had to disassemble my dryer a few times but it finally works! When my belt came off it loosened the cut off switch wires. The switch had continuity but it was not actually completing the circuit. I had to bend the prongs to get the plug to seat back on all the way.

@BrianParis 6 лет назад

Thank you so much! I went through your full diagnostic, realized it was the thermal cutoff fuse, follow your other video on how to disassemble everything and put it back together , got a new one but by that time tested the old fuse again and it worked, some bit confused, but I guess testing everything and un plugging everything and replugging everything reset whatever was the problem. So somehow it still works. Thank you again for the great instructional video.

@vivianmai6139 5 лет назад

Brian Paris Did your dryer had problem that turn on but not spin? Where did you buy the fuse? Thanks

@fozrunner 3 года назад

Hi this video was really amazing to help.troubleshoot step by step. Quick question, When I connect on terminal 5 and 4 on motor, I get about 4ohms during both with or without centrifugal switch pressed. Does that mean it's the motor? I don't see the 1.9ohm winding when I release it.

Hi Bil, thanks for the video. Does this board connected to the thermistor and controling the power to the heating element? samsung dryer keeps burning the termal fuses and I think it is the board. main board and a display board in these dryers

@davidstark7361 7 лет назад

Thanks great videos...I have a DV210 Samsung stack elec. Dryer that stopped working there are no led lights, sometime parts of letter or number and a small hum at times. The light in dryer works but will do nothing else. It has 220 coming into it, all thermo fuses good. I am assuming it is the main or front display control board..... replaced front display board and there was not change. Should I replace the main board. Any suggestion appreciated.

Wonderful video. I do not have this exact model, but I went through these tests with the exception of the first test of the overall resistance since the board is different. When I tested the motor I got 0 resistance across the windings, does this mean the motor has failed?
