Samsung DC97-16350J Washer/Dryer Damper Assembly

The Samsung DC97-16350J is a critical component in Samsung washer/dryer combos that serves as a damper assembly. It regulates airflow throughout the appliance during various cycles. During the washing cycle, the damper closes to prevent water from entering the dryer vent, safeguarding the dryer from water damage. Conversely, during the drying cycle, the damper opens to allow moist air to be expelled from the dryer, ensuring efficient drying performance. A faulty damper can lead to various problems, such as extended drying times, moisture buildup within the appliance, and even mold growth. Replacing a worn-out damper with the Samsung DC97-16350J ensures optimal airflow, efficient drying, and helps prevent potential appliance damage, ultimately contributing to a longer lifespan for your washer/dryer combo.
