“We've had this electric dryer a couple of weeks now. The 'vent' sensor keeps coming on, but I've checked the ducts and even put new hose clamps on. I can not find any reason for the Vent warning icon to be on... Is there something I am missing?”

Mine did the same but if you read in your user manual it says to use a rigid vent line. I just pulled mine out and made sure the line wasnt folded at all and had a clear airway. My sensor light hasn't come back on since.

It's wonderful to see your dedication to maintaining your appliance by checking the ducts and installing new hose clamps. The 'vent' sensor is an essential feature designed to ensure your dryer functions efficiently and safely by detecting potential airflow restrictions. Here are a few additional steps you might consider: Perform a Vent Blockage Test: Your dryer manual provides a detailed procedure for this test, which can help identify any unseen obstructions. You can refer to pages 33 and 53 of your user manual for step-by-step instructions: Manual https://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/202312/20231228095339863/OID55766_IB_DV8300B_EN_231222.pdf 2.Check for Lint Build-Up: Lint can accumulate in less obvious areas even if the ducts seem clear. Ensure the lint filter is clean, and inspect the vent hose and ductwork for any hidden lint. 3.Inspect the Exterior Vent: Sometimes, debris or small animals can block the exterior vent. Make sure it is fully clear. 4.Proper Vent Installation: Ensure the vent hose is not kinked or crushed. The vent should be as straight and short as possible to facilitate optimal airflow. 5.Vent Hose Material: Using a rigid or semi-rigid vent hose instead of a flexible one can improve airflow and reduce the likelihood of blockages. By following these steps, you should be able to address the vent sensor warning effectively.
