Evening all, another Samsung problem…
recently bought, and found the following issues:
– water droplets form on door when in use
– lint is everywhere
– cycle extends when it says 5 mins left to 30 mins and keeps doing this
– after being on a cycle for our 3 hours, no water was in the water reservoir tray and clothes are still damp.thanks!
does depend on what type of dryer it is
are all filters and condensors clean so air can flow properly round the dryer

Thanks Dave, will open it up and check
I can only give you general pointers with these things. Sounds like you bought a second hand machine the way you word it using “recently bought” otherwise it would be u/guarantee. So the t/dryer does try and heat in order for condensing water leaking via the door problem could be an internal blockage via a condenser blockage behind the front l/h/s plastic panel at the bottom but I presume you checked that – unfamilar with this model with very little info on it but you want to be careful in that area so do not poke about with anything sharp `cause some of these things have refrigerant pipes within the non removable condenser matrix – punucture a pipe in there and its toast – does it look mangled?. So the other question is: does the drain pump actually work because if that fails the obvious doesn`t happen as you stated and so the condensed water has to try and find away to get out = via the door and the seal. Is the door seal in good nick too is another question too. Fans: as far as I can see via Partmaster spares there will be two, 1 is attached to the motor shaft – doubt that is the problem as they, being plastic, would break = a horrendous racket when the drum is turning so we can eliminate that one so that leaves the 2nd fan a black electrical cooling fan (square body shape) at the front behind the r/h/s panel – the one with the air intake slats…does that work? Other than these pointers, which is all I can give you, you are basically down to a refrigerant problem or lint blockage/s elsewhere internally at a guess perhaps near the drain pump area.
As a general point heat pump condenser dryers problems (of which there are many) are a pain to diagnose, certainly on forums and bad enough even in person.
Do not forget these things were flogged with 5 year parts and labour warranty so long as no one has welded a screw driver and cocked something up you might want to go down that route.
