- This SAMSUNG Brand Dryer with the Steam Option is a great dryer and was purchased at Lowe's. While at the store be sure to purchase the correct dryer cord and the installation kit. These don't come with the purchase and need to be bought separately. Buy some teflon tape as well.

No need to pay someone to do this as it's super easy to do yourself. The first step is getting it unboxed, into your house and into place. You'll typically need two people or a dolly. If you are really fancy you can put in on a custom made wooden foundation to place it on. Once in place, open up the installation kit and pull out the hoses and components. Hook a stainless steel braided hose to the cold spigot after wrapping with teflon tape. I tightened down the connection using channel locks. From that hose I installed the 'Y' connector provided in the installation kit. From that 'Y' on the cold line, one side is going to go to your dryer and the other to your dryer. All connections made with teflon tape to keep from leaking. Now take the longer hose with the 90 degree elbow on it and hook it to your dryer. The elbow side is what connects to the dryer. From the "Y' connector on the cold line, hook a hose from the 'Y' to your washer for cold water to the washer.
Now it's time to hook up the electrical portion. It's a good idea to take a picture or template of some sort with you of your dryer plug to the hardware store to make sure you buy the correct plug pattern unless you retained your old one and it's still serviceable.
Things to buy or have on hand for installation:
1. Dryer Cord
2. Installation kit
3. Channel Lock Pliars
4. Teflon Tape
5. Dryer Vent
6. Hose Clamp for Dryer Vent

So now that you have your water system all hooked up it's time for the electrical and vent which is really easy as well. Un-package your new dryer hose and hook up the three wires in the back of the dryer. You do this by unscrewing the sheet metal panel in the back. Hook the cord to the three terminals inside the panel and secure it. Be sure to install your safety clamp as a protective measure in case the dryer gets moved, it won't destructively pull the cord's electrical connections from the terminals resulting in a possible electrical fire. Now it's time for the vent. Fasten the dryer vent over the hard piped vent connection along with the hose clamp and fasten. Do the same with the connection as the dryer.

Here's the video transcripts:
can you put this teflon tape on there all I did on that was about a wrap and a half to two wraps okay if I was doing a standard installation I just I'd be hooking that up to my washer put some teflon tape on there let me cut this up to the cold
okay this is going to go into here okay now this Y is so easy right boom but one of these are gonna go to your washer and this one here like this will go to your washer and that's gonna go so the trick here is just a teflon tape every connection teflon this there's this and also at the washer and dryer
this side here is gonna hook down into the dryer deaf on tape there and the direction of rotation and I'd get this baby on there okay this is the one that's gonna go to your dryer or uh skin it's gonna go to your washer
okay the trick here is to make sure you get the right plug so a hole hung this upside down installing the dryer you're gonna need a May dryer vent some hose clamps I'm gonna go ahead and hook a cord up through here see the idea is to hook it up through here and clamp it off probably doesn't pull out right that could be real bad cord up through here and up it up to all three of these the clamp on here so I can't pull out Kali's here you're gonna want to clamp that wire you got to run up through the hole clamp it on this side that it's gonna take two hands so I can't can't tape it right there so clamp it to that side and then screw it into those that's tight
okay one I like this one of these on the dryer and one on the outlet
tighten that up right that side there's gonna go around the dryer let this eat up the hose clamp just like that Forgetting standard house maintenance items can be costly. Avoid this by using my homeowner's and renter's quick reference:

I just bought my first house and have been trying to figure things out on my own. So thankful I found your video! 😊❤
Emily I’m happy to hear this helped you out. Congrads on the house!
Thank you! Did not know what to do with the Y-connector with these new steam cycle additions
Of course! So glad this helped. Thanks for letting me know.
great video thanks bro👌
No need for Teflon tape, the rubber seal in side the female connector ensures the seal.
Yup agreed
Question, starting from the spout, you connected a hose, on the other end of that hose you connected the Y fitting which redistributes both water to the dryer and washer? correct? to reiterate the Y fitting connects to 2 hoses with water that that connect to the dryer and the washer correct.
Carlos Uribe yes Carlos. Good luck to you. Let me know if any more questions. Thanks for watching
Thank you this was so helpful
So glad to hear it. Thanks for letting me know!
Teflon tape on a hose connection? That’s all it took for me!
Yeah it leaked otherwise in this case.
Not needed if threading plastic connector. But metal & metal always Teflon
My thoughts exactly. If it was leaking tighten it up. Hose threads are to course for Teflon to work
I have one of the maytag dryers with a steam outlet. Do I have to connect it for the dryer to work or is this just an option?
Its just an option. It will work without it.
Nice Spider
Hahaha thanks. He’s my buddy
Where can I buy this washer and dryer set from Samsung even though it’s discontinued? I really like this set!
I didn’t know they were DC’d. I liked it too!
Do you hook the dryer up to the cold or hot water line?
If I remember right it was to the cold. Not 100% sure and it was awhile ago that I hooked this up.
I just moved and need a longer hose to go to from the water line to the steam dryer.. what is the name of the hose that runs the water to the dryer?
It should be just standard washer hose. Same threads and fittings. I seem to remember they sell different lengths at most hardware stores.
I went to hook up my dryer today and found this surprise, thanks to your video I found out what it is for. So if you choose not to hook up the extra hose, should it be capped off on the drier?
Good to hear it. Well if you are choosing not to go with steam option there is no need to run any water to the dryer so no “y” connection necessary and both hot and cold will be going to your washer. I think what you’re asking is if the male connection on the back of the dryer needs to be plugged. It does not. Hope this helps and good luck!!
DIYTechnician of
@@DIYTechnician I just now saw this reply, yes that is the question I was asking. Have a great day!
Does the Y fitting part goes to the cold or hot water?
Late but If anybody else sees it goes to cold water line.
So if I decided not to plug water hose to the dryer, there will be no problem ?
Nope
Did you need to connect the water hose?
Yes. That’s where the steam is generated from.
Just seeing this, does the "Y" gets hooked to the HOT water hose?
That’s the way I did it
Do you have to use the steam to get heat?
P DUB yes. The steam is just an option.
No Teflon tape required I. Threads of connections. Has a rubber washer.
Should yhe water source be hot or cold
I ran mine off the hot
I know it's been a year but manual says use cold side.
Teflon Tap on Pressure Washer Hoses ? ? ? Hello Leaks.
Yeah typically you are right. Thanks for the input. No leaks so far, knock on wood.
Does the dryer gets damage if u don’t put the water hose
Nope. The steam is just an option
Hiii can I use the dryer without connecting it to the water 😅
Yes
Teflon tape? The rubber washer inside is making the connection water tight...
Yes hopefully and not if you have my luck.
Teflon does nothing on these connections, other than lubricate threads.
The Teflon can actually do harm here. The treads are supposed to bottom out so the rubber washer can make the seal. If the tape hinders this and the washer isn't getting the pressure it needs, you'll have a leak.
Why does the Y piece go into the dryer for?
It’s for the steam option
does the hose connected to the dryer, for the steam feature need to be metal or can it be rubber?
Gut feeling is it should be the steel braided hose but I’m no expert. The kits that they sell are steel braided for this which is what makes me think that.
@@DIYTechnician thank you, I was wondering because no local store carries the steel ones in stock they all have to be ordered online and wouldn't arrive until after my delivery.....so guess I'll be waiting 2 weeks to use my washer and dryer if all the hoses have to be steel
@@muniramccullar614 that’s awhile to wait, sorry to hear that. I’m not 100% sure on that but I’d hate to be wrong and cause a leak:) I’d give a plumbing company a call. Maybe you could hook it up without the steam option until you get your hoses. Just a thought.
is this set reliable? how long will it last me?
I would say yes. It has lasted longer than I expected.
Why does a water outlet hook up to a dryer??
For the steam option
Funny some a hole hung mine upside too
Lol.
Is this dryer gas or electric? I’m assuming it’s electric? Sorry I’m a rookie
No worries:) it’s electric
What’s the size of gas connections to the unit?
Sal Visone hi Sal. Not sure man. I didnt mess with any gas during this installation. Take care.
How do the clamps work
I can’t figure out how they fit
Which ones?
@@DIYTechnician I figured it out now but your video really helped me thank you 😊
You just scratched the fuck out of that washer with that drill
Nah it was just fine. I can see why you thought that though. Good looking out.
No hammer arrestor??
Please elaborate. Thanks:)
@@DIYTechnician well usually on a water supply that releases water at a high rate i.e. toilets, washing machine etc. You would have a hammer arrestor in line so the pipes don't hammer back and forth.
@@benjaminblankenship980 oh yeah I gotcha. Thanks for the tip!
Good Morning I have a Question
What’s your question
Does it connect to hot or cold water????
Cold
@@DIYTechnician I accidentally connected mine to hot since I assumed steam needs hot😂
@@RR-fb3xd you are not the first to do that 😙
Bro this is the only explanation that this video failed to explain
No need for teflon tape on hose connections
Thanks for your input

I never noticed that hahah good eye!
Hello is anyone there
Hi Fred
Seriously bad idea to use any kind of power driver to make electrical connections. Just asking for trouble there.
Teflon already ingests the environment and most creatures that live in it. There are good alternatives to teflon. Use one!
What are some alternatives?
@Dave Bryanttrue and normally yes. In this case it traditionally leaked.
Teflon tape??? Eww.
Yeah I know :)
Dislike video for the commercial
Which commercial was it? I don’t have any control over what commercials get played.
Some videos don’t need to be made.
Ouch!
Yet you clicked on the video.
Some people like to trust and verify before a DIY install - what is that a reason to put people down? Just because it may be simple to you, doesn't mean it is for other people
Funny some a hole hung mine upside too
Lol
