Question

Where can I purchase a drying rack for a DV331AGW?

Purchased the 331 set from AAFES, received it yesterday and would like to add the drying rack as it did not come with the unit. Unable to locate one on your web site. No accessories listed for that model on your site. Owner's manual lists it as "optional". Thanks

The DV331AEW has a Steam feature which can be very helpful in refreshing clothes or removing wrinkles. If you wish to use this feature, you'll need to connect the dryer to a cold water supply either through the washer using the 'Y' connector that came with it, or directly to a nearby cold water valve. The supplied water hose should be used for the connection.

Question

Why can't I start another load right away?

When I press the Power Button to start a 2nd or 3rd load, it doesn't do anything. I have to wait about 15-20 minutes before the Power Button does anything again.

There isn't any thing in the manual that mentions this behavior.

Is this normal?

I'm sorry to hear you're having an issue with your dryer. You should be able to run one load after another, as long as the power supply is working properly and there is sufficient air circulation. I would suggest checking the lint filter and vents for blockage, then try cycling the power by turning the circuit breaker off then on again. If the door is closed and latched and an appropriate cycle is selected but the problem persists, your dryer may require service. To initiate service through Samsung, please submit your contact information to our support team through the link below, or call 800-SAMSUNG to speak with an agent who will be happy to assist you.

answer 2
The dryer must be connected to the cold water faucet using the new inlet hoses. Do not use old
hoses.
1. If “Y” connector cannot be attached directly to the cold
water faucet, the short hose must be used.
2. Turn the cold water faucet off.
3. Attach short inlet hose to cold water faucet.
Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the faucet.
4. Using pliers, tighten the coupling with an additional two thirds
turn.
Do not over tighten, as it may damage the coupling.
5. Attach ‘Y” connector to brass male end of small hose.
Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on connector.
6. Using pliers, tighten the coupling with an additional two thirds
turn.
Do not over tighten, as it may damage the coupling.
7. Attach angled end of long hoses to the fill valve at the
bottom of the dryer rear frame. Screw on coupling by hand
until it is seated on fill valve connector.
8. Using pliers, tighten the coupling with an additional two thirds
turn.
Do not over tighten, as it may damage the coupling.
9. Check that the water faucets are on.
10. Check for leaks around “Y” connector, faucets and hoses.

Thanks for the question. Please refer to page 28 of the user manual for instructions on using the optional drying rack in the DV331 dryer. Samsung recommends using the Time Dry - Extra Low Heat setting, primarily due to the heat sensitivity of the types of items that the rack is usually used for. Please consult the fabric care instructions for your items for advice on the use of heat for drying them, noting that even an Extra Low heat setting may not be recommended for some items, such as those containing foam or rubber.

I am not sure that my steam function on my dryer is working correctly.

I have the DV331 electric. The steam function just sprays cold water droplets inside. The is no evidence of any steam coming out. Just water droplets on the door. Is this normal?

Answers
answer 1
It's normal for a cold mist of water to be sprayed in the dryer during the Steam cycle, and the heat from the dryer should turn the mist into steam. Opening the door during the cycle would let the heat out, which would hinder the evaporation of water droplets on the door. If your clothes are drying and the water is evaporating, and the steam appears to be effective in removing wrinkles, then it is likely your dryer is working correctly since it is not unusual for the steam itself to be difficult to see. If, however, your dryer is not heating and your clothes are not drying, then service may be necessary. First, please make sure the vents and lint trap and not clogged and the dryer is connected to a working dedicated 30-amp power supply. To initiate service through Samsung, please submit your contact information to our support team through the link below, or call 800-SAMSUNG to speak with an agent who will be happy to assist you.

Question

Need to "air fluff" items

Our prior dryer had a setting that allowed us to "air fluff" items. We had items that we hung to dry outside of the dryer and then would put them in the dryer with no heat and a dryer sheet (like 'Bounce'). What would be a similar or equivalent way to do this, (i.e., dry without having any heat) on the DV331AEW?

Thanks for the question. Since the DV331 dryer does not have an Air Fluff or No Heat temperature setting, the closest alternative is the Extra Low which has a temperature of approximately 106°F.

I’m sorry to hear your DV331 has a chip in the paint. Unfortunately, Samsung does not have touch up paint available. I would suggest contacting your local appliance, hardware or home improvement store for assistance finding a suitable alternative. As with most other metals, if the chip in the paint has exposed the underlying metal and left it unprotected, it could lead to rust and corrosion.

Samsung does not have any research to suggest whether dryer bars are recommended or not. Dryer sheets, however, are fine to use with Samsung dryers, so if you find the bars are effecting the drying performance I would suggest using the sheets instead. I would also suggest checking the instructions on the dryer bars to make sure they are recommended for use in steam cycles.
