Q: QuestionIs a conversion kit required to vent the dryer to the side instead of the rear, or does it come with everything needed for either configuration?

This question was asked about the related product: Samsung - 7.4 Cu. Ft. Smart Electric Dryer with Steam Sanitize+ - Brushed Black
- A:Answer You will need to purchase the Smart Choice Dryer Vent Kit that Best Buy sells, or any dryer vent kit. The connection for the dryer vent comes out the bottom of the dryer in the center. The Dryer Vent Kit has two 90 degree elbows included, and they swivel so that you can turn the vent to the left, right, straight up, or any other direction you need it to be. The same applies to the 90 degree elbow that's used to connect to the existing house vent. There is no Vent Kit included with the dryer. Hope this helps.

Q: QuestionWhat is the depth with the door open
Asked by Jenn.
- A:Answer The dryer is 30 inches from the back near vent to the door closed. The door open is 21 inches open. So you’re looking at 51 inches deep in total. Plus the dryer door is changeable. You can change the way it opens, open to the left or open to the right. Very easy to do too!

Q: QuestionI set the dryer to its normal 39 minute cycle, but after only 1 minute of drying it automatically drops from 38 to 1 minute and turns off. What can I do?
Asked by OswaldoN.
- A:Answer 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." You can access the manual here: Samsung DVE52A5500W/A3 Manual. https://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/202410/20241015032053189/DC68-03784S-04_IB_DV7000_EN_MES_240910.pdf To help resolve issues with your washer, please follow the link, hyperlinks, and watch the instructional video.
