A Samsung dryer in Canton, OH had been squeaking and making other sounds when in operation for several weeks. The sounds sometimes increased in volume, other times it was just a steady low level squeaking that could be heard anywhere in the house. Our diagnosis revealed a failed support roller just months after previous roller replacement.
The Problem
For several weeks the dryer had been “squeaking” and making other sounds when in operation. Sounds sometimes increase in volume, other times it’s just a steady low level squeaking. At this point, you can hear it anywhere in the house when in operation.
Diagnosis
I had replaced the support rollers on November 30, 2018. One of the rollers has failed. This premature failure of recently installed parts required a complete replacement of the drum support system.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: DESAMKIT-DRYER REPAIR KIT — support rollers, belt, and idler pulley
- Work performed: Replaced all the rollers, the belt, and the idler pulley
- Result: This repair was covered under the one year warranty with no charge for the visit
Is It Worth Repairing?
Samsung dryers are mid-range appliances that typically provide good value when properly maintained. The DV210AEW is an older model, but drum support repairs like this are common and cost-effective fixes that can extend the dryer’s useful life significantly. When covered under warranty as this repair was, it’s definitely worth addressing.
Maintenance Tips for Samsung Dryers
- Clean the lint filter after every load to reduce strain on the drum support system
- Check the exhaust vent annually — restricted airflow forces the motor to work harder
- Listen for unusual noises early — catching roller wear before complete failure prevents belt damage
