Samsung Dryer light is out
If the interior light in your Samsung dryer is out, start with the simplest, most likely fixes and work up: check the light socket and its wiring first, since a bad socket or no voltage is a common cause and easy to verify with a multimeter. If the socket has power, the problem often lies in the control electronics next — the control panel indicator lights, touchpad/control panel assembly, or the user control and display board can prevent the light from coming on and are replaced as complete assemblies. A faulty door switch that fails to provide continuity when the door opens can also stop the light from getting power. Less commonly, the entire light assembly or bulb itself is damaged and needs replacement. If you need the exact replacement part for your model, enter your dryer model number on RepairClinic.com to find the correct light socket, control panel, door switch, or light assembly and get step by step repair guidance if you want to fix it yourself. If you notice any other signs, like dryer controls not working, mention those when you search so you get the right part.
01 - Samsung Dryer Light Socket
If the light itself is newly installed or shows no signs of damage, yet still won't work, it's possible the light socket is defective. You can use a multimeter to test whether or not voltage is reaching the light socket. If the meter shows that power is reaching the light socket then it's likely the socket is malfunctioning and will need to be replaced.

02 - Samsung Dryer Control Panel

Highly Likely
03 - Samsung Dryer Touchpad and Control Panel
The dryer control panel indicator lights are part of the touchpad and control panel and cannot be replaced separately. If an control panel indicator light is not working, the entire touchpad and control panel assembly will need to be replaced.
Highly Likely
04 - Samsung Dryer User Control and Display Board
The dryer control panel indicator lights are part of the user control and display board and cannot be replaced separately. If an control panel indicator light is not working, the user control and display board will need to be replaced.
Highly Likely
05 - Samsung Dryer Door Switch
The dryer door switch will turn the interior light off when the door is closed and turn it back on when the door is opened. If the switch is defective, it may be unable to allow voltage to reach the light. You can use a multimeter to test the door switch for appropriate electrical continuity when actuated. If the switch doesn't provide appropriate continuity, it will need to be replaced.
Less Common
06 - Samsung Dryer Light Assembly
The most likely cause of a dryer interior light not working is a defective light assembly. Inspect the assembly for any visible damage or burn marks and replace as required.
