<\/a> \nA door switch is a small, plastic mechanism that keeps the dryer from running while the door is open. In most cases, it is black, but in others, it may be white. Either way, when it is broken, your dryer won\u2019t sense that the door is open.<\/p>\nThis piece is usually located somewhere around the door of the dryer. If you touch it, it should create a clicking sound. When the door is closed, this button usually goes in and will send a signal to the dryer that the door is closed. However, if this is broken, it won\u2019t make the clicking noise. And since it is not functional, it won\u2019t send a signal to the dryer. In most cases, this broken dryer switch won\u2019t allow the dryer to cut on. But, in other cases, it won\u2019t allow it to shut off.<\/p>\n
Just like with replacing the timer, you will have to order this part. It will require you to take some parts of the machine apart, usually the top panel. Replacing this part is easy and may only require a screwdriver and a little muscle to lift the top panel in and out of place. Once you replace the part, the mystery of your spinning dryer should be resolved.<\/p>\n
Consider PCB Replacement<\/h2>\n A PCB or printed circuit board is very similar to the timer function on most dryers. Some dryers run by either mechanism. The difference is that a PCB is electronically controlled while timer-controlled dryers are mechanical and run using a timer. Just like with the timer-controlled dryer, your PCB will need to be replaced to stop the spinning.<\/p>\n
To determine if the PCB is the problem, you will need to inspect it. Start by unplugging the dryer and turning off the gas. Next, open the dryer\u2019s main control panel, and again, make sure that you take a photo of the configuration of the wires so that you can put them back in the correct place.<\/p>\n
Take a close look at the circuit board. Do you see anything that looks like there may have been some malfunctions, such as shorting out or burning? This is a sure sign that your PCB will need to be replaced. In some cases, if you don\u2019t notice any damage, there may be some fluke situation going on with the wiring. If you don\u2019t see any damage, then you may be able to simply detach the wires from the motherboard and put them back in place.<\/p>\n
Some of these wires will have to be squeezed and pulled out instead of simply yanking them from the board. Make sure you detach the wires properly so that you won\u2019t damage the motherboard. Believe it or not, this simple tactic of detaching and reattaching may fix the problem.<\/p>\n
If you pull all the wires out and put them all back, and this resolves the issue, perfect! However, if this does not resolve the issue, you will have to replace the PCB. It would be best to have the replacement circuit board at your disposal first. This will make the process easier. If you discover that you don\u2019t need the board, at least you will have the part for future use if it ever goes completely bad.<\/p>\n
Get a Repair Person to Help<\/h2>\n If you are a handy person and don\u2019t mind tinkering with light do-it-yourself projects. These methods mentioned above will allow you to fix your dryer problems at minimal costs. You will probably only have to pay for the part replacement. However, if you don\u2019t feel that you are a DIYer or these tasks seem too complicated, the best thing you can do is contact a maintenance specialist. This should be your first step if you believe that your DIY skills may damage your Samsung dryer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
So, your Samsung dryer won\u2019t cut off? No, your dryer doesn\u2019t need to be featured on the next episode of Haunted Things. It most likely isn\u2019t cursed, so you don\u2019t have to send it to The Warren\u2019s Occult Museum. The problem that you are probably having with your Samsung dryer is not a spiritual issue.
