Most common repairs needed to fix a Samsung dryer
Drive Motor Replacement
The drive motor in a dryer is responsible for turning the drum and the blower wheel that circulates air through the dryer. If the motor is overheating or malfunctioning, it may shut off intermittently, causing the dryer to stop unexpectedly during a cycle. You might notice the dryer runs for a short period before stopping, leaving clothes partially dry. If you suspect the drive motor is at fault, schedule an in-home repair appointment with Sears Home Services to have a technician diagnose and replace the failed motor.
Drum Belt Replacement
A worn or broken drum belt could be the reason your dryer keeps stopping. The drum belt wraps around the drum and the motor pulley, rotating the drum. If the belt is worn out or broken, it can cause the drum to stop turning, leading the dryer to halt. To address this issue, inspect the drum belt for any signs of wear, fraying, or breakage. A Sears Home Services technician can replace a broken drum belt and inspect the dryer for any other signs of failure.
Electronic Control Board Replacement
The control board manages all the dryer’s functions, including the cycle duration and stopping the machine when the cycle is complete. If the control board is faulty, it may send incorrect signals that cause the dryer to stop prematurely. You might notice the dryer stops intermittently or ends the cycle unexpectedly. Diagnosing control board issues can be complex and requires professional expertise. If you suspect the electronic control board is the problem, schedule an in-home repair appointment with Sears Home Services to have a technician diagnose and replace the faulty control board.

Excellent service from Daniel
Daniel provided excellent service and was very quick to perform the repair. I have nothing good to say about the warranty program and the LACK of customer service and the inability to contact a human being to talk.
