Cleaning the Drum of your Samsung Dryer

It is important to clean and maintain your Samsung dryer to ensure optimal operation, preventing any build-up or bacteria that can effect your cycles. Although the drum of your dryer does not need to cleaned as frequently, leaving wet or damp clothes inside can cause mould or odour to build up in the dryer. 

Some dryers will come with a Self Tub Dry cycle that you can run to keep both the drum and heat exchanger fresh. However, if you do not have this option, it is perfectly okay to manually clean the drum too. If you are interested in more cleaning and maintenance pages for your dryer, you can check out our "Cleaning the Heat Exchanger", "Cleaning the Lint Filter", and "Draining your Heat Pump Smart Dryer" pages.

Follow the guide below to see how you can clean the drum of your Samsung dryer, whether that be using the Self Tub Dry function or manually.

*If you have a Washer Dryer Combo model, use the "Cleaning the Door and Drum of your Samsung Washing Machine" page for information on how to clean the drum.

To clean the drum manually, use a damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner suitable for stainless steel. Then, wipe away any remaining residue with a clean, dry cloth.
