It is important to regularly clean the lint filter of your Samsung Dryer to ensure smooth operation. You may notice the lint filter alert reminding you to do so or you dryer may display a NC/NC1 code*. In either case, please check and clean the lint filter of your dryer. The lint filter is typically located at the bottom of the dryer entrance.

Follow the guide below to see how you can clean the lint filter on your applicable model.

*If the NC/NC1 code persists after checking and cleaning, please contact an authorised service centre to request further support.

Note:

  • Clean the lint filter after each load. Otherwise, the drying performance may decrease.
  • Do NOT operate the dryer without the inner filter inside the outer filter.
  • Using the dryer with a wet lint filter may cause mould, bad odours, or a decrease in drying performance.
  • If the filter surface is wet, allow it to completely dry before use.
    • Inserting the filter while it is wet can cause mould and/or odour to form and/or result in less drying.
  • When cleaning or removing the lint filter, do not shake or tap on the filter. Doing so can damage the filter.
  • Opening the outer and inner filters carelessly and with excessive force can damage the filters.
