Samsung DV90T5240AW tank alerts and drying checks
UK heat-pump dryer filter, heat-exchanger, water-container, cycle, load, and airflow checks.
This page applies only when the complete rating-plate model matches DV90T5240AW. A symptom does not prove that a part has failed. Use the regional manual and recall instructions when they differ.
Manufacturer record
What is specific to DV90T5240AW
Samsung lists DV90T5240AW/S2 as a 9 kg heat-pump dryer with a regional manual.
What this changes: The owner-accessible moisture path is for a heat-pump dryer; match the suffix and manual before following vented-dryer instructions.
Check result and next step
Separate a condensate alert from a drying-time complaint
Samsung UK supplies /S2 heat-pump dryer documents. The moisture route uses a tank or the documented drain arrangement, not a conventional vented-dryer exhaust test.
| Observation | What it establishes | Next action |
|---|---|---|
| Container alert returns after emptying and reseating the tank | Emptying did not settle condensate handling. | Record the exact alert and whether a drain hose is installed; contact Samsung if it repeats. |
| Similar loads stay damp after documented filter care | The drying complaint remains reproducible. | Record cycle, load and washer spin setting for service; no compressor diagnosis follows. |
| Water reaches electrical parts or burning odor appears | Another comparison load is unsafe. | Stop use and arrange qualified service. |
Check a used DV90T5240AW before accepting it
Check both filter areas, container, door seal and any documented condensate routing.
Parts boundary: This is a heat-pump dryer; a conventional vented-dryer repair route does not apply.
Keep a note for the service visit
Record the /S2 or other suffix, selected cycle, load, lint filter, heat exchanger and container or hose result.
