I finally figured out what's wrong with my dryer!There's no drum to put the clothes in. This is a rookie mistake, Samsung.

It's fun, I looked up the possible issues this dryer has: there's five wheels that can break, one belt, and four sensors.I haven't gotten to the sensors yet but all five wheels are bad and the belt is gone

@foone that looks a lot like the 25-year-old kenmore I have (torn down twice - the first one was an actually burned-through heating element (in that square-tube on the right), the second was three of the wheels no longer turned - hair burned in to a carbon layer on the bearing shafts.) For both of them, getting it to the stage you're at was the hard part; the parts are turned out to be pretty easy to get (the most recent repair was this year.)

@foone That or count the number of heater cycles at the end of the drying cycle, and open the door to enter the desired letter.If you graph the power consumption of a dryer you'll find this really weird PWM function; it starts out 100% duty cycle and starts to iterate downwards until it's done

@foone I mean, not necessarily. A square wheel will roll smoothly on a road made up of catenary curve segments. Morphocular has a video on how to calculate a "perfect" road for any mathematically describable wheelhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGxSTzaID3k(note that just because their method yields a road shape for some wheel doesn't mean said wheel will roll smoothly, as some wheel shapes may have to clip into their respective road somewhere other than the contact point in order to roll smoothly)
