Factory settingsidid much research b are a problem
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I researched all washer and dryers and chose the highly rated Samsung. I like most aspects of this dryer, but have a problem with the dryer temperature settings, which limits my options and is why I rated it a 3. Most drying options on this dryer have preset factory temperature settings that are too hotand do not allow a “low” heat setting. This is in stark contrast to MOST fabric/clothing manufacturer labels which specify low heat. The only options for low heat is time dry and delicates.
Factory settings for the temperature on the dryer are set and cannot be changed, as follows;
Normal at 4; bedding on 5 (hot); permanent press at 3; refresh at 5; active wear at 4,
Quick dry at 5; I consistently use 1 ( a 2 for towels).
If anyone has knowledge as to how to override the factory settings, please share.
Thank you for the opportunity to share my views.
