The **Clg** display on a Samsung dryer points to **vent blockage detected**. Treat it as a diagnostic direction rather than a parts order: operating conditions, wiring, sensors, actuators, and control electronics can overlap. Samsung appliances monitor whether a function reaches an expected state within a certain sequence. When that check fails, the control can store or display a code even though the root cause may sit elsewhere in the same circuit. The recorded display form is **Clg**. Search normalization stores it as **CLG** while preserving the characters a homeowner actually sees.

Vent blockage detected.
Model compatibility: Samsung can reuse or reformat codes across series and model years, so CLG may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

These are simple, non-hazardous checks only. If anything is unclear, stop and contact a technician.
Important safety warning. When working around a dryer that shows Clg, keep the checks external and non-invasive. Stop for burning smell, smoke, gas odor, repeated breaker trips, or abnormal overheating. Do not bypass thermal protection.
Service is not automatically required. Request diagnosis only if the status cannot be cleared as designed or normal operation does not resume. If Clg keeps returning, record the stage at which it reappears so the technician can test the vent blockage detected path instead of replacing parts by guesswork.

Vent blockage detected.
One controlled restart is reasonable after correcting an obvious external issue. A recurring **Clg** display should be treated as diagnostic evidence, not as a reason to keep rebooting the appliance.
Because **Clg** is not treated here as a conventional component failure, service is not automatically required. Clear or complete the documented mode and confirm that normal operation resumes.
Treat **Clg** as a starting point, not a replacement instruction. Wiring, feedback signals, operating conditions, and electronic controls can mimic a failed component.
The same-looking code can be reused on another Samsung appliance family or reformatted by region/model year. Match the appliance type and exact model before applying a meaning. This page therefore keeps **Dryer Clg** separate from same-looking codes used by other Samsung appliance families.
