Hi there, Thank you for sharing your experience with the Samsung DVE52A5500W/A3 dryer. I'm here to provide clarity and assist with resolving the concern you described. The behavior you're noticing, where the dryer cycle time drops from 38 minutes to 1 minute and turns off, could be linked to the moisture sensors detecting that the load is already dry. This often happens when the dryer determines that the humidity level is too low for additional drying. To address this, you can try the following steps: Check the Load Size and Material: Ensure the load size isn't too small or made of lightweight fabrics, as these may dry faster than expected. For very small loads, consider adding a few damp items to help the sensors work more accurately. Clean the Moisture Sensors: Residue from fabric softeners or dryer sheets can build up on the sensors and affect their accuracy. Locate the moisture sensors inside the drum (usually near the lint filter) and gently clean them with a soft cloth and mild soap. Use Time Dry Mode: If you prefer manual control, switch to the Time Dry mode to set a specific drying duration instead of relying on automatic sensor adjustments. For detailed guidance on using and maintaining your dryer, please refer to the user manual, starting on page 36 in the section titled "Dryer Cycles and Settings."
