A Samsung dryer in North Canton, OH was making a loud noise when the customer hit start to begin the cycle. The homeowner suspected the belt had snapped, but the unit would power on without starting. Our diagnosis revealed a failed idler pulley — a common issue with Samsung dryers.
The Problem
When the customer hit start to start the cycle it made a loud noise. The homeowner was guessing the belt snapped, but wasn’t sure. Now the dryer would power on but wouldn’t start.
Diagnosis
The idler pulley had failed. This is a common issue with Samsung dryers and typically causes the symptoms the customer experienced — loud noises during startup followed by the inability to start cycles.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: DC93-00634A — idler pulley

Is It Worth Repairing?
Samsung dryers are generally reliable appliances, and the DV50F9A6EVW/A2 is a mid-tier model worth repairing when the issue is a relatively simple component failure like an idler pulley. This type of repair typically extends the life of the unit significantly compared to replacement cost.
Maintenance Tips for Samsung Dryers
- Clean the lint filter after every load to prevent strain on the idler pulley and drive belt
- Check behind the dryer periodically for lint buildup that can cause overheating and component stress
- Listen for unusual noises during operation — early detection of pulley or belt issues can prevent more extensive damage
