There are a few possible reasons why your Samsung DV42H5000EW/A3 dryer might be cutting off after running for 3 seconds.

Thermal fuse: The thermal fuse is a safety device that prevents the dryer from overheating. If the thermal fuse is blown, it will cut off power to the dryer. To check the thermal fuse, you will need to disassemble the dryer and disconnect the thermal fuse wires. If the thermal fuse is blown, it will need to be replaced.

Drive motor: The drive motor is responsible for spinning the dryer drum. If the drive motor is faulty, it may not be able to start up properly, causing the dryer to cut off. To check the drive motor, you will need to use a multimeter to test the resistance of the motor windings. If the resistance is too high or too low, the drive motor will need to be replaced.

Control board: The control board is the brains of the dryer. It controls all of the dryer's functions, including the drive motor and thermal fuse. If the control board is faulty, it may cause the dryer to cut off. To check the control board, you will need to use a multimeter to test the voltage at the output terminals of the board. If the voltage is incorrect, the control board will need to be replaced.

If you are not comfortable troubleshooting and repairing the dryer yourself, you should contact a qualified appliance repair technician.

Here are some additional troubleshooting tips:

Make sure that the dryer vent is not clogged. A clogged dryer vent can cause the dryer to overheat and cut off.

Check the dryer lint trap. If the lint trap is full, it can also cause the dryer to overheat and cut off.

Make sure that the dryer is properly leveled. An unlevel dryer can cause the drive motor to work harder, which can lead to overheating and shutdown.

Try resetting the dryer's control board. To do this, unplug the dryer from the power outlet for 30 seconds, then plug it back in and try starting it.

If you have tried all of the above troubleshooting tips and your dryer is still cutting off after 3 seconds, you will need to contact a qualified appliance repair technician for further assistance.

If your Samsung DV42H5000EW/A3 turns on but shuts off after about 4 seconds, there could be a few possible causes. Here are a couple of troubleshooting steps you can try to diagnose the problem:

1. Check for a tripped thermal fuse: The thermal fuse is a safety feature in dryers that shuts off the dryer if it overheats. If the thermal fuse is faulty or tripped, it can cause the dryer to shut off shortly after starting. You can locate the thermal fuse in your dryer by referring to the user manual or by searching for its location specific to your model. If you find that the thermal fuse is tripped, it will need to be replaced.

2. Inspect the door switch: The door switch is another safety feature that prevents the dryer from running if the door is not properly closed. If the door switch is faulty or not making proper contact, it can cause the dryer to shut off after a few seconds. Check if the door switch is damaged or misaligned. If you notice any issues, the door switch may need to be replaced.

If these steps don't address the issue, it's best to contact Samsung customer support or a professional appliance repair technician. They will have specific knowledge about your dryer model and can provide further troubleshooting steps or recommend any necessary repairs.
