Source-linkedVerify source — Best Buy reviewBest Buy 1-star review by RaySprague (title: "BUYER BEWARE!!! Broken 5 months in"). Dryer bought Nov 21, 2024 showed code 3C on May 16, 2025 after lint and exhaust checks were clean, pointing to a board issue. Best Buy Total said it was still under manufacturer warranty; Samsung then quoted about $350 because coverage did not fully apply as expected. Owner said this was their second Samsung stackable dryer with heating/stop issues.
