Problem
Dryer would not stop spinning even with the screen off, Suspected stuck relay due to overspark when opening the door without pausing machine first.
Tools
Screwdrivers and pliers to help with connector removal.
Repair & Advice
It seems this is a design flaw with Samsung Dryers where the relay is not protected from off-spark when the safety switch on the door is used to cut power. After about 1-2 years with occasional use of the door instead of the pause button, the relay will fail.
