Samsung Dryer Repair – Akron, OH (DV328AGW)

A Samsung dryer in Akron was only delivering proper heat on Heavy Duty or Towels settings, with the automatic sensor failing to regulate heat level or heating time. Our diagnosis revealed the dryer needed coil packs, but the customer ultimately decided to replace the unit.

The Problem

The customer reported that only the Heavy Duty or Towels setting (high/very dry setting) delivered proper amount of heat. The automatic sensor wasn’t regulating level of heat or length of heating time on other cycles.

Diagnosis

Testing revealed the dryer needed coil packs to restore proper sensor operation and heat regulation across all cycle settings.

The Repair

• Parts needed: Coil packs
• Customer decision: Replacing dryer instead of repairing
• Result: No repair performed — customer opted for replacement

Is It Worth Repairing?

Samsung dryers from this era can be worth repairing depending on the unit’s age and overall condition. However, when multiple components like coil packs need replacement, replacement often makes more financial sense than extensive repairs on older units.

Maintenance Tips for Samsung Dryers

• Clean the moisture sensor bars monthly with rubbing alcohol to maintain accurate cycle detection
• Check and clean the exhaust vent annually — restricted airflow affects sensor performance
• Use the correct cycle settings for fabric types to prevent premature wear on heating elements
