Most common repairs needed to fix a Samsung dryer
Drive Motor Replacement
The drive motor is responsible for turning the drum and the blower, which circulate air through the dryer. If the motor is overheating or malfunctioning, it may shut off prematurely, causing the drying cycle to end early. You might notice that your clothes are still damp or the dryer stops unexpectedly during a cycle. Inspect the drive motor for any signs of overheating, wear, or damage. If you find damage, have a Sears Home Services technician replace the motor.
Moisture Sensor Replacement
The moisture sensor detects the level of moisture in your clothes and signals the dryer to stop when they are dry. If the sensor fails, it may incorrectly detect dryness, causing the dryer to shut off prematurely. You might notice that your clothes are still damp when the dryer stops. To address this issue, inspect the moisture sensor for any signs of residue or damage. If you suspect the moisture sensor is at fault, schedule an in-home repair appointment through Sears Home Services.
Electronic Control Board Replacement
A malfunctioning electronic control board could be the reason your dryer stops early. The control board manages all the dryer's functions, including the cycle duration. If the control board is faulty, it may send incorrect signals that cause the dryer to stop before the cycle is complete. You might notice the dryer stopping intermittently or ending the cycle prematurely. Diagnosing a control board issue can be complex and requires professional expertise. If you suspect the electronic control board is the problem, schedule an in-home repair appointment through Sears Home Services.

How is the dryer stops early issue fixed?
Correcting most dryer stops early issues involves replacing the drive motor, moisture sensor, or electronic control board. However, there are many potential causes, so a thorough diagnosis is key to fixing the problem. An accurate diagnosis is essential to understanding how much the repair will be.
Sears Home Services recommendations for a dryer stops early problem
When a dryer stops early, it can be for many reasons. To avoid replacing unneeded parts, we recommend having a Sears Home Services professional perform diagnostic tests to identify the root cause of the problem. Our technicians are experienced at diagnosing all types of dryer failures.
What to look out for with a dryer stops early diagnosis
Diagnosing modern appliances without proper knowledge and training can be difficult. Without using proper diagnostic techniques, fixing your dryer problem will only be achieved through changing parts on a hunch. Appliances, especially in the last 10 years, have become extremely advanced, and many models have electronic parts that are difficult to test. DIY repairs on the latest appliance models are becoming increasingly difficult.

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.
