Vent Sensor
The Vent Sensor is only on the DV45H6300* model.
Your Samsung dryer is equipped with a Vent Sensor, which detects and notifies you when it is time to clean the
ductwork. Keep your dryer safe and efficient by cleaning the ducts when prompted.
The Vent Sensor detects any duct blockages
You can figure out whether there is a duct blockage from the “Vent Sensor ” lamp of the digital display.
Level Message Status Solution
0
The “Vent Sensor ” lamp is
turned off. The ductwork is free from
blockages. -
1
The “Vent Sensor ” lamp
illuminates. When a part of the duct or the
lint filter is blocked by lint or a
foreign object.
When the resistance is high
because the duct is too long
or bent. Check the duct connection
and shorten the duct and
straighten it if necessary.
Check the lint filter or the duct
and clean it if necessary.
2
The “Vent Sensor ” lamp
blinks. When the duct is blocked by
lint or a foreign object.
When the resistance is very
high because the duct is too
long or bent excessively. Check the duct connection
and shorten the duct and
straighten it if necessary.
Check the lint filter or the
duct and clean it as soon as
possible.
In the LEVEL 2 state, this lamp blinks for 3 hours after the completion of the cycle. (If the wrinkle prevention
function is activated, this message is displayed for up to 3 hours.)
If the Power button is pressed or the door is opened, the power is immediately turned off.
For more information about the duct installation, please refer to the “Ducting requirements” section on
page 12.
•
Although the dryer is available even if the blockage message is displayed, the drying time may be
extended.
• If the LEVEL 1 message is displayed the first time the dryer is run after the installation, check the
connection and clean the duct. If the LEVEL 1 message appears even after you have checked and
cleaned the ducts, this may indicate that there are some restrictions of the duct due to the length,
condition, etc.
If this occurs, you can use the dryer normally and no countermeasures need to be taken. However, the
drying time may be extended or the drying performance may be degraded.
