“Can I use dryer sheets in Samsung Model DV52J8700EW? I was told by the Best Buy installation tech that dryer sheets are not recommended for the Samsung 7.4 Cu. Ft. 15-Cycle Steam Electric Dryer, Model No. DV52J8700EW. Is this true?”

So, this issue is a little deeper than simply not using them. The short answer is yes, you can absolutely use dryer sheets with this model but clean your lint trap better. The long answer is yes but you need to take extra care. Dryer sheets contain a wax that helps get rid of static. However, the heat from the dryer can melt some of this off and the dryer will vent it. However, some particles will get caught on the lint trap and over time this can build up. Because the wet air cannot escape with this build up, the clothes may take longer to dry at a higher heat. So, to clean your lint trap, take a soft bristle tooth brush and warm water and simply work the wax out. If the trap is clean water will be able to flow through it. If there is a build up, you will see water get trapped on the top. I believe it is also worth mentioning that you should clean your vent. Not all lint is captured by the trap and over time this lint can build up in the vent. This model is equipped with a vent sensor that will indicate a build up. If you see it on, it is time to clean the vent. Lint build up is the number one cause of house fires in the United States.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi Jimbo, Not to worry - dryer sheets are fine. Unlike some manufacturers, Samsung sensors will not be effected by the use of dryer sheets. Thanks for the question, Ms. Samsung
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.More technology, more software, more wax buildup to think about, more waterline involved means if one more water leaking issue you have to think about and since things are made these days only last half of their life expectancy and cheap Chinese plastic can burst anytime. What's wrong with the old time when you just throw in a bounce sheet? I didn't hook up my steamer water line to the dryer ( it's been 18 months and it's ok) because you have to add a water filter mesh at the connection (this doesn't come with the machine) to filter out debris from city water. If there is a water pipe maintenace up the street, the water will be yellow with mud and that will be in your clothes in the dryer. Secondly, you have to get in the back of the dryer periodically ( if you are not too fat to squeeze it) to unscrew the waterline, clean the filter, and you shouldn't unscrew the waterline too often, that may create a leak behind the dryer to the floor and wall which you don't see until the damage is severed. For the washer engineers, more is not better.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The people that installed the washer and dryer never stated anything about dryer sheets and the book provided doesn't have any warnings either. I have used dryer sheets without any problems.
