Michael, Yesterday I fixed my Samsung Drier that was experiencing the same problem. I followed your step-by-step video and repaired it with no problem. A tech was going to charge me $375.00 dollars, but your video saved the day. Thank you and please continue with your fantastic videos.
That’s the BEST news we’ve heard all day!! Awesome job making it a DIY project and saving yourself $375.00 You can put that money towards something more meaningful, hope you enjoy your weekend.
Was worried about having to replace major parts but turns out there was a bunch of clothes inside of the lint flap as well as all of the ductwork for the exhaust portion exiting the dryer. Removing the clothing, cleaning the duct and unplugging the power a few mins to reset it did the trick!
ok I purchased a motor, thought that it would solve my problems which I could swear had the same symptoms. However just like others if you spin the drum manually and try to start it will spin but stop eventually. The motor wasn't my issue. It's a 6 year old machine with a new motor in it. lol the old one I can use for a back up latter in life. ok I checked the rollers the first time through I know for sure not that. I checked the tensioner pulley and assumed ok I took it apart but never examined it. I did the second time through. Belt was worn some, and most important the screw was loose on the tensioner. I used my impact screw gun just a couple clicks or 3 max no more......and put a new belt on. My dryer drum had to be off the back rollers to put it on the tensioner pulley then tip top of drum to me which lifts the bottom up on the rollers and done. Took me some time to figure that out. ughs another cut. hopefully this fixes my problem I will get back in a month if no problems to let you guys know.
Thanks for taking the time to share this, you have been busy. You are going in the right direction, we are looking forward to hearing back from you. Thanks again Michael.
I'm sure I have this problem I just wish I had a walk through to remove the dryer housing to even work on it, and would prefer to bypass the broken part if the motor is still good :/
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. The most common cause of clicking is an object stuck or jammed in a place it shouldn’t be. You may need to remove both your upper control panel & front panel to gain access to the inner portion of washer. At this point you will have access to all moving parts where you can inspect the entire inner portion of the machine and surroundings of each part. Check to see if there is any type of object interfering with the movement/operation of your moving parts. 😎👍🔧🔩
Good morning, just poured a ☕️ and am sitting down to answer any and all questions for the DIY community. That’s a bummer to hear. Have you replaced drum rollers and dryer belt pulley?

I have the same problem, and no it won't fix it. on 10/26/23 I replaced the motor and I thought it was fine. The next day same problem. I replaced the belt and rollers 1 year ago and looked at them while everything was disassembled. Rollers looked new spun fine and no slop at the bearings, belt was nice and tight also when just the top was off. I can't figure it out.
My dryer turns on but the rotating cycle button light doesn’t rotate and the none of the buttons work. Could it be electrical? It was working fine and the next morning it wasn’t. Anyone have an idea what it could be?

@@DIYwithMichaelBorders really impressed with the quick response. I too could only see it being the rollers, once I checked belt wasn't hung up, tensioner was in place and spun freely, and that the motor and fan spin freely.....and with belt off drum still extremely hard to spin by hand......I couldn't see how it was anything else, so I ordered a set of rollers. By testing the rollers by hand, 2 of the 4 were not as easy to spin by hand as the others. (Now I'm surprised they aren't even harder to spin then they are, as the drum wouldn't move but praying this is all it needs). Will update when new rollers installed. Thanks again and God bless you and your family!
@@mikeb4824 We really appreciate that and hope all is well with you and your family. That’s awesome you ordered new rollers. Your machine will be very happy. Worn out rollers tend to put extra stress on the belt and cause it to fail prematurely…the cool thing is you can get a fresh new belt installed when you’re replacing the rollers. 😎👍
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders well I replaced all 4 rollers and am honestly a bit shocked to say the drum still doesn't spin. When I removed the belt, before changing the 4 rollers, the drum didn't turn, which made me think, it's deffinently the rollers, and 2 of the 4 were harder to spin/had more drag when you spun by hand. But now after changing them, still can't turn the drum by hand with belt on.......any ideas?
@@mikeb4824 Thanks for the follow up, that’s odd. Did you ensure the drum itself was properly shifted into place onto the rollers? The drum…if not properly placed onto rollers so that the rollers slide into the drum indent…will cause resistance that can lead to drum having a harder time to spin.

Pretty sure this is what's wrong with mine... I've only had it three years. What a flimsy product... terrible craftsmanship. Thought I was getting name-brand and it fails right outside of warranty because of a part that looks like it's from a child's toy. Never buying another Samsung product again.
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts. We have been very happy with our Samsung washer and dryer. Of course, there comes a time where a part fails and needs to be replaced…and when that time comes…we replace the part and machine operates as new again.

Thank you , well done.
You are welcome, we appreciate that. 👍
Very informative!
Simple and to the point.
After hours of troubleshooting I watched this video and found this was my problem. Thanks!
Awesome, and thank YOU. Getting you the info you need without wasting your time is our #1 goal. 😁👍
We keep the top unlatched and after we hit play.. we give the drum a quick push and the motor starts spinning 😅.
Good morning ☕️ mastering the corks.

Hey what’s happening when I start it and I hear a click then it try’s to spin and stops and is quiet

Hi, same problem but not the motor switch. It is perfect, and checks out. SO what else can it be? HELP!!

Hey Sean, you are welcome. Thank YOU!!!! 😎👍
Mine does this but if you spin the drum a little and start again it starts sometimes about 50/50. Would this cause an intermittent problem like this?
I have the same problem. I wonder if this is the problem?

Good morning ☕️ it’s possible. Have you removed the top panel of dryer to see inside? It’s possible that the belt has failed/snapped.
If you undo the belt from thr tensioner and the drum still wont spin by hand......it cant be this little plastic lever......right?

Can you bypass that part and how much is a new motor
Thanks for watching, we haven’t bypassed this part before. Below is a link to a new motor and price.

So my lever is good. However, the gear does not engage. Thoughts?
Thanks for watching, any update? It may need to be gently lubricated. You can try that before purchasing new motor.
Keep us posted. 🧰
Jumpin' Shit!
Thanks for watching Bruce. Many more appliance videos to come.
😎👍🔧🔩
This would be a good 3d printer job.
Good morning ☕️
Let us know if you have any questions.
Mine has same symptoms but I can start it by spinning it manually.
We have the same issue now. Did you ever resolve?
@@kari5408
No, I cleaned it out. I think I'm going to have to remove the motor to clean it. If that doesn't help, I'll have to replace it.
Wouldn’t have a Samsung if they were giving them away
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts. We have been very happy with our Samsung washer and dryer.
Of course, there comes a time where a part fails and needs to be replaced…and when that time comes…we replace the part and machine operates as new again.

All i hear is a click
Same here.. what was it?
