To achieve the best results when doing laundry, it's important to consider the weight of each load you dry. Small, heavy items can overload your dryer just as much as large, lightweight items. Overloading your dryer can reduce cleaning performance and potentially cause issues with your appliance. Therefore, it's crucial to add your clothing and other items in the most effective manner.

Note: This information applies to Samsung dryers sold in Canada.

Loading your dryer is a bit simpler compared to loading your washing machine, as the load size is not as critical.

Refer to the list below or the diagram to determine the load size for your laundry:


• A small load of laundry is when the drum is approximately 1/3 full.


• A medium load of laundry is when the drum is approximately 1/2 full.


• A large load of laundry is when the drum is approximately 3/4 full.

Note: Remember not to overload the dryer, as this can reduce its performance. To prevent overloading, the dryer should never be more than 3/4 full. Additionally, clothes may not dry properly if the dryer contains too few items. It's recommended to dry at least 3 to 5 items, ensuring the sensors in your dryer can accurately detect the laundry's dryness level during a Sensor Dry cycle.
