Samsung Dryer Repair – North Canton, OH (Dv42H5200EP/A3)

We returned to North Canton for a Samsung dryer that would turn on and allow setting selection, but once the start button was pressed, there was just a faint click and then nothing happened – no spinning. The customer had recently had a heating coil repaired, but now faced a new issue with the drum not turning.

The Problem

The customer reported that their dryer would turn on and allow them to select a setting, but once they hit start they heard a faint click and then nothing happened – the drum was not spinning. This occurred after they had just had something repaired, which they believed was the heating coil.

Diagnosis

Upon inspection, we found that the belt had broken. This explained why the dryer would power on and accept settings but couldn’t turn the drum when the start button was pressed – the motor was running but had no way to rotate the drum without the drive belt.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: ER6602-001655 — drive belt
• Work performed: Replaced the broken belt
• Result: The dryer is operating as designed

Is It Worth Repairing?

Samsung dryers from this era are generally reliable units, and a broken belt is a common wear item that’s worth replacing. However, if you continue to have multiple issues like heating elements and drive belts failing in succession, it may be time to consider replacement rather than continuing with repairs.

Maintenance Tips for Samsung Dryers

• Clean the lint filter after every load to prevent overheating that can stress the drive belt
• Check the drum periodically for smooth rotation – catching belt wear early can prevent sudden failures
• Keep the exterior venting clear to reduce strain on internal components
