Imagine if everyone that watched this awesome repair video gave you $1.00. I mean seriously, how much money did you save for all of these that had the same problem? Edit-I’m sure we can all chip in a buck! Where’s the link for the TY Tutorial?
My dryer stopped working about a month ago and of course I googled why my dryer wasn’t heating anymore and came across this video and I was like 🤔 let me try it. I am a 29 year old, single mother of 3 and buying a whole new dryer would put me in a tight budget for the next couple of months so buying one was definitely not the route I wanted to go. Ordered the part on Amazon, 4 hours later (I struggled a bit cause I don’t got tools but a screw driver 😅) my dryer works again!!! So proud of myself!!! 😅 thank you so much for the video!!! ❤
*** ATTENTION EVERYONE *** THIS IS THE VIDEO TO WATCH! THANKS FOR THE DETAILED VIDEO! In my case, the Heating Coil did not show obvious break. Replaced Heating Coil... No Heat. Disassembled again, replaced 2 Sensors on the side of the Heating Coil. COINCIDENCE OR NOT.... Right before putting front panel (door), I NOTICED MY BLUE WIRE TO THE HEATING COIL WAS NOT CONNECTED. Reconnected, reassembled dryer... Plugged in, Flipped breaker back on, TESTED DRYER... YAY HALLELUJAH I HAVE HEAT!!!! I watched many other videos... YOURS IS THE BEST!
My dryer shit the bed again and my wife left me. After watching this video a second time and repairing my dryer I ended up hooking up with her sister and my life is better! Thank you so much man
Sir, you are a God send. This video deserves 1 million views!! Here I am, a mom of 2, hubby is at work and I decided to take this upon myself. Thank you!!
I swear this video is predestination of everything to come. My dryer (exact same model) stopped heating. Followed your instructions and everything was the same… coil broken in the exact same spot and I cut my finger exactly the same too. Great job.
Just today I followed your instructions to the T and replaced the heating element. It works!!!, saved hundreds of dollars and my husband thinks I'm totally rad finger cuts and all. Thank you!
This video legit helped my husband replace our heating element! Saved us $700+ , only spent $30 on amazon! 👏🏼 applause to you great video! Thanks for posting
Watched this video to replace the element in my dryer as well. Saved me a boot load of money doing it as well! I think most everyone cut their finger in the exact same spot: I did! It was still worth it! Thank you for the help!!!
Thank you for this video!! I have a similar Samsung dryer that stopped heating. I was expecting a rather large repair bill by calling someone since I never worked on a dryer before... Sure enough the heating element wire was broken so that's why there was no heat. This is an excellent video and broke down everything that needed to be done in order to get to the heating element. I TOO cut my hand! Lots of freaking sharp edges once you open the dryer up! I ended up replacing the entire heating element assembly only because it was $20 more than just the bare wire heating element and I figured at 10+ years old, might as well get new everything which includes the thermal switch and thermostat that are built into the heating assembly housing unit. (Unbolt the entire assembly and bolt new one in, connect everything- done) Videos like this make TH-cam great! I'm actually surprised at how easy this job was!
After we replaced the heating element, we ran into an issue where the breaker was tripping whenever we started the drier. It turned out the coils were making contact with another price of metal and causing the breaker to trip! Once we fixed that issue, it started working perfectly. It’s even hotter than it was before! Thank you for the video!
Very helpful. I lost a leg on my incoming power, ended up being a fuse out on the street. 1/2 of my house worked, 1/2 didn’t and my dryer sounded like a 1950’s car trying to start and made all the remaining lights that were still working do a flicker. My dryer had problems right after they fixed the power. Turns out my element melted. Being a single mom of 2 middle schoolers is hard to just buy a new dryer and cloths line drying is hard in an apartment. Thank you for posting this video, it saved me more than you will ever know
I wanted to send you a few bucks as my way of saying thanks. You have no link. You really helped me fix my dryer. My screws were harder to remove, but i got the job done. A little wd40 on the hidden screw and using the slip function on my electric screwdriver helped ease stubborn screws out without stripping them.
Great video, very helpful. Thx Melvin! I am in the process of doing it and have 2 tips: 1. you can remove like 4 screws that secure the right wall of the dryer to loosen it a bit. That allows you to pull the heating element out easier. That method worked for me. 2. wear work gloves. Almost everything you touch inside of this dryer is sharp!
I had the same exact problem. The heating coils could have been designed to be more durable. Great video. Wow, those rear screws were a pain, but doable. Also, thanks for explaining the rattling sound!
I really couldn't believe i could fix my dryer's non-heating problem but your video just made it as simple as ABC. I did it in good time and it now works perfect. Thank you so much, you just gain a fan.
This video was very helpful! I replaced my heating element with no problems after watching this video like 10 times, lol. AND I didn't cut myself! Thank you.
I fixed my Samsung dryer with the help of your video. It had exactly the same issue, broken heating coil. Thank you so much. You saved me a couple of hundred dollars.
Thank you for your video!!!, mine went out again after having it repaired few years back. Thanks again for the great indepth video. Warranty expired... $35 part on Amazon. Saves me over$350 repair. Thank again.
I have the same dryer so I clicked on you. Good video. I ended up just bending that bracket temporarily that holds the element housing in place while I pulled it out. Then I bent it back into shape on the re-assemble. I cut my finger in the EXACT same place you did. Thanks for the help!
Thank you so much for this video, you saved me a lot of money. For other folks, my issue was that the dryer was over heating and would not stop running. It would get to the cooling cycle and keep running with one minute left until it overheated and I got the hE error. So the heating element was still getting hot, but wouldn’t shut off. This exact video was the solution for my problem. If you are having my issue, suggest you follow these steps to check out and replace the heating element and or components.
I definitely want to thank you for the diy video. Like you, I purchased the element from Amazon, roughly 36 bucks and followed along step by step and now my dryer works and I'm not out of $200 - $300! Thanks 👍🏾
Thanks for the great walk thru. Perfect storm this month with life and the dryer breaking was the cherry on top. Figure For those taking this repair on, *MAKE CAREFUL NOTE OF WHERE SCREWS GO WHEN TAKING APART THE METAL COIL HOUSING. THERE ARE SOME SPARE HOLES THAT DON'T REQUIRE SCREWS* but they seem like they should. I made the mistake of putting some in the spare holes then panicked when i was missing 4 screws and had to take it apart and watch the video again. Besides the user error, video saved me some doe. And knowing the scam repair people around these parts, possibly a new dryer. Good luck yall!
This Worked but took like 2 hours for me to repair. All those damn screws in tiny places smh. Thanks very much for the guide! Saved me a lot of money I’m sure.
2024 here & this video is still very helpful. It got me to checking why my dryer wasn't working took it apart & sure thing same issue. Thanks for the video & the step by step, it saved my family $$$.
Your video is just si great!!! 🤩 56 years old mom just changed my element with your help!!! 💪 Followed each step carefully, the only thing I just let it rolled for 15 seconds, it is heating, but there is a little smell of burnt 😱 is it cause it's a new element....tks in advance for your help!!! 🤗
Excellent video! Almost bought a new dryer but after watching your video I thought I would gamble on a $35 kit and see if I could fix mine. Worst case I buy a new dryer but your detailed steps made it easy. Thanks so much!
Thanks, brother! You've saved us time and money! Had the exact same problem with my slightly different Samsung model, but the insides were identical. Bought the part off Amazon for about $26 and now the dryer works perfectly. No cut fingers! Do be careful as there are a lot of unseen sharp edges.
This video was a great help. Thank you very much for posting it. Much like others have said, the two screws at the back of the lower bracket were a huge pain and very frustrating to deal with. Everything else was quite smooth. I have a very similar model dryer (DV42H5000EW/AC) and I only needed to remove 6 out of 8 screws to take the front door and panel off. For example, at the very front when I opened the door, I only had to remove 2 out of the 4 screws while I noticed that you removed all 4. I also opted to replace the entire heating assembly with an OEM Samsung one. Yes, it was much more expensive than just the coil but I got scared reading some of the amazon reviews where people were commenting that the coils didn't last very long. I didn't want to have to do this job again anytime soon, particularly since it's a stackable dryer and hard to reach the back of it. I've run it once and seems to work fine. One problem that I was having is that it was getting stuck on one minute (i.e. kept running).
If you ever come to KY, I’m buying you a beer! Thanks so much! I fixed my dryer in less than 24 hours. Perfect link to the part, and it was delivered quickly.
Just want to say thank you!! I watch this video and I did it order the part from Amazon for 30 dollars with the sensors and replace everything the actual element part wasn’t cut or any damage just dark because of the heat the usual after 12 years of use but I just changed everything sensors and is working like new I replace my drain pump from the washer years ago same watching videos here and is still working.. thanks for your help!
The thermistor and the high limit switch that came with that set of safety switches are right behind motor assembly. You can peer back there with a camera while you have the heating element out and change the two sensors easily. I would suggest changing them while you have it out just in case there are multiple reasons why the dryer wasn't working and not just one. That thermistor is highly important because if your clothes are taking too long to dry then the thermostat is most likely the cause of that issue. If you want visual access to the thermostat and high limit switch while you're changing it, you can remove the vent tube that is in the back and you will have direct access to it
You're the freakin' man!!! I was able to fix my dryer thanks to you! I really appreciate your help and just can't believe I was able to get it done! God bless you!
Thank you so much for your video .I just fixed my dryer, all by myself, with your instructions of course. It's amazing. I can dry my clothes again, yay! God bless you!
Thank you! I was following another tutorial that had me removing the drum and I thought there had to be a way to get the element out without taking the whole thing apart. You showed me how!
Thank you ! I just replaced my daughter's element. Your video made it all go very quickly. Hardest part was getting those 2 screws out on the back side of the U bracket !
I believe I have a newer model. The same bracket just slides into a clip with no screws. I was very happy to find that out. Thanks for the video though. Because of it, I bought a used set on the marketplace for next to nothing because the dryer wasn’t getting hot. Now I have a good set for cheap.
Thanks again for the help. I had already decided to keep the original fuse and over-temp sensor for the same reason. My heating element was broken in exactly the same place. Also discovered a few installation boo boos by the assembler but would not have been of any consequence. Imanaged to draw blood on my wrist, lol. Thank you!
Hey just wanted to say Ty I fixed my dryer today all because of your video it was a breeze minus those 2 screws behind the support bracket lol they kicked my butt but I got them out then it was smooth sailing I couldn’t believe how easy it all went back together and it works great I couldn’t be more pleased Ty again you probably saved me hundreds from calling a repair man Happy New Year and God bless
Thank you for this video. I was able to watch this and fix my dryer. My heating element went bad as well. I spent 24 dollars and about 45 minutes to get my dryer up and running. My wife is happy so I am as well!!!!
Great video. Fixed my dryer really quickly with this. Couldn’t opt for the Amazon part (going on a trip tomorrow, need to use washer today). Appliance parts store only had the entire element assembly ($70, but made the repair even quicker). Thanks!
Fabulous video. Following it and was able to understand and install the new heating element, which I purchased from Amazon ($30) versus another site that listed the element for $119. One think I don't recall you mentioned is how SHARP the metal is - both inside the dryer and the edges of the container holding the element. Thank you. I saved the cost of the service call and what they would have charged for an element.
THANK YOU THANK YOU! I did it. I would’ve never tried this probably without your video. It took me several hours, but I ended up bringing my shop vac in. The dryer was full of lint and I did a complete cleaning. I put on leather gloves after slicing up my hands pretty good. Thanks again
Amazing! I also have this model of Samsung dryer. Just followed the step by step instructions and viola! It drys again. I purchased the part as suggested via Amazon 2 days ago for approximately $34.00.
Thank you so much Sir for this great video.. already did all jobs to be done.. now waiting for the "heating coil" part to come ordered at amazon.. i have the same problem "heating coil" broken.. well see when the parts comes.. hoping its a quick fix... thank you
FYI, those replacement parts you had at about 11:15 or so were different sensors. The replacement parts next to the coil are the Thermal Fuse and the High Limit Thermostat (my fuse goes out a lot, but just replaced the coil too, so maybe that will help). The 'smaller' parts you had were actually the Thermistor (black larger one) and the Thermostat (smaller silver one). Those are installed on the back of the blower housing, next to the motor, which you'd have to access by removing the drum.
This is true. You can also check them with your meter. I had one of four go out, toned out what worked and didn't. My coil actually got hot and broke so I took my thermal and the other for parts next time. $36 bucks for the part and $50 an hour and I do those repairs all day.
This was a great video! I didn’t have to remove the drum! Yay 😀! I had limited space but I did fine. Dryer is working like clockwork! The hardest part was the stand the element was sitting on.. I had to bend it a bit,so it was a terror to put back on..but I managed. My steam w&d are about 11 years old and still work fine. Thanx for your help. Greatly appreciated..money saved!
Thank you for this video i was going to get a replacement for it and my wife told me to check on TH-cam how to fix it, and Thanks to you buddy i don't have to buy a new one. I fix it my self.. thank you so much for this learning video.. muchas gracias! God bless! 🙏
Great video. Thanks a bunch! Had the exact same problem with the broken heater coil. I did struggle with the rear screw and ended up scraping my forearm as well! Few tips: - wear work gloves. Every edge is sharp. POS manufacturing! - wear long sleeves to protect your forearm. I got several scrapes while fiddling with the heater box - the rear screw was a f***ing pain to remove. Having a high torque electric driver would have helped.
Thanks for the video. I just followed your instructions, ordered a new heating element through Amazon and the dryer is working again, although I ended up with 3 extras screws 😂. We have the same model #, however, mine has a couple of clamps in the control panel, it was a little tricky to get it loose. Other than that, all went smoothly, Thanks again. 👍
Thank you so much. It simple but when you don’t know what you are doing it can be very complicated, I watched the video several times and then acción... thanks.
This video helped me out a lot, have the exact same dryer. Was a perfect tutorial how to video. Thank you. New heating element and it’s back running now. And… I cut my hand as well on that metal.. twice.. lol
Great Video! Saved a major service call after ordering the assembly replacement. Looks like they reduced the number of screws on the U shaped bracket to facilitate the removal.
For everyone here before y’all judge ik it’s confusing but on the bottom of the channel it says fix ur drier or something like that that’s the link to the video I tried it on my and it worked great. I know why y’all think he didn’t help but trust me he did and there’s is a full video give a try
This was a great video thanks bro. So I couldn’t wait a couple of days for the new element to come in so just for everybody out there you can get a butt connector and kind of crimp it onto the wires that have broke and the heating element will come back on. I haven’t figured out how long that will last as of yet, but it works.
Thanks so much for this video! Tested with ohmmeter and I surprisingly didn't have my heating element go out but another component did. She's heating again!
Great step by step video. I will add though after the correct heating element is replaced there may be a slight smell of burning. It does go away after about 10 minutes. Thanks again!!
This video is amazing. Exactly what i needed for my dryer. I'd recommend samsung parts, they are way more expensive but these dam amazon parts crap out every 6 months or so its annoying.
Lifesaver! That damn u-shaped metal piece was a beast. Took me the longest to get those 2 back screws off, but I got it eventually. Thx again for posting.
smiley0987 I used a stubby screw driver and just went off of feel. It took a while, I didn’t actually screw them back in when I was putting it back together. I couldn’t be bothered.
L A thank you so much for your quick reply! Ok ill have to pick up that screwdriver! Yes I won’t be bothered to put them back either. Arghhhh I was just trying to yank the element piece out but of course it won’t fit, Samsung makes everything difficult. Hubby is ready to buy a new dryer but Im so determined to test this piece first.Thanks again!
smiley0987 it’s worth it in the end, it’ll just take a little bit more time than you would like. I didn’t see a break in my heating element so I did swap everything out in the kit and dryer has been working like a champ since.
Also to note folks, if you order the element with all parts attached to the casing for $50 (if you don't troubleshoot all parts first) you may have to shape your case into the intake. Ive had cases where it was too large for the hole.
Imagine if everyone that watched this awesome repair video gave you $1.00. I mean seriously, how much money did you save for all of these that had the same problem?
Edit-I’m sure we can all chip in a buck! Where’s the link for the TY Tutorial?
Paypal link is now in the description, please use if you feel so inclined. Thanks!

The thermistor and the high limit switch that came with that set of safety switches are right behind motor assembly. You can peer back there with a camera while you have the heating element out and change the two sensors easily. I would suggest changing them while you have it out just in case there are multiple reasons why the dryer wasn't working and not just one. That thermistor is highly important because if your clothes are taking too long to dry then the thermostat is most likely the cause of that issue.
If you want visual access to the thermostat and high limit switch while you're changing it, you can remove the vent tube that is in the back and you will have direct access to it
Great instructional video. I completed the replacement of the heating element on my Samsung dryer.
You're the freakin' man!!! I was able to fix my dryer thanks to you! I really appreciate your help and just can't believe I was able to get it done! God bless you!
Thank you so much for your video .I just fixed my dryer, all by myself, with your instructions of course. It's amazing. I can dry my clothes again, yay! God bless you!
Glad to help!!
Thank you! I was following another tutorial that had me removing the drum and I thought there had to be a way to get the element out without taking the whole thing apart. You showed me how!
Love to hear it!
Thank you ! I just replaced my daughter's element. Your video made it all go very quickly. Hardest part was getting those 2 screws out on the back side of the U bracket !
Without a doubt the hardest part.
I believe I have a newer model. The same bracket just slides into a clip with no screws. I was very happy to find that out. Thanks for the video though. Because of it, I bought a used set on the marketplace for next to nothing because the dryer wasn’t getting hot. Now I have a good set for cheap.
@@xdarkmercx i purchased my dryer last summer for 125 so i think i got a lot for a little.
Thanks again for the help. I had already decided to keep the original fuse and over-temp sensor for the same reason. My heating element was broken in exactly the same place. Also discovered a few installation boo boos by the assembler but would not have been of any consequence. Imanaged to draw blood on my wrist, lol. Thank you!
Hugh Betcha!
Followed this step by step and fixed my dryer. Probably saved me hundreds. Thank you man!
Glad it worked out!
Hey just wanted to say Ty I fixed my dryer today all because of your video it was a breeze minus those 2 screws behind the support bracket lol they kicked my butt but I got them out then it was smooth sailing I couldn’t believe how easy it all went back together and it works great I couldn’t be more pleased Ty again you probably saved me hundreds from calling a repair man Happy New Year and God bless
Thank you for this video. I was able to watch this and fix my dryer. My heating element went bad as well. I spent 24 dollars and about 45 minutes to get my dryer up and running. My wife is happy so I am as well!!!!
Great video. Fixed my dryer really quickly with this. Couldn’t opt for the Amazon part (going on a trip tomorrow, need to use washer today). Appliance parts store only had the entire element assembly ($70, but made the repair even quicker). Thanks!
Great when things work out!
Fabulous video. Following it and was able to understand and install the new heating element, which I purchased from Amazon ($30) versus another site that listed the element for $119. One think I don't recall you mentioned is how SHARP the metal is - both inside the dryer and the edges of the container holding the element. Thank you. I saved the cost of the service call and what they would have charged for an element.
You're welcome! Remember I cut my finger on the metal? It is very sharp!
Thank you! You made this daunting task easy for me and saved me a couple hundred bucks.
THANK YOU THANK YOU! I did it. I would’ve never tried this probably without your video. It took me several hours, but I ended up bringing my shop vac in. The dryer was full of lint and I did a complete cleaning. I put on leather gloves after slicing up my hands pretty good. Thanks again
Amazing! I also have this model of Samsung dryer. Just followed the step by step instructions and viola! It drys again. I purchased the part as suggested via Amazon 2 days ago for approximately $34.00.
I also had a break in my coil.
Love it!
Thank you so much Sir for this great video.. already did all jobs to be done.. now waiting for the "heating coil" part to come ordered at amazon.. i have the same problem "heating coil" broken.. well see when the parts comes.. hoping its a quick fix... thank you
Hope so!
Subscribed at your channel 👍😊😎
Got the parts.. and thank you Dryer is up and running.. heat is there for only $40 cad.. thank you thank you
FYI, those replacement parts you had at about 11:15 or so were different sensors. The replacement parts next to the coil are the Thermal Fuse and the High Limit Thermostat (my fuse goes out a lot, but just replaced the coil too, so maybe that will help). The 'smaller' parts you had were actually the Thermistor (black larger one) and the Thermostat (smaller silver one). Those are installed on the back of the blower housing, next to the motor, which you'd have to access by removing the drum.
👍
This is true. You can also check them with your meter. I had one of four go out, toned out what worked and didn't. My coil actually got hot and broke so I took my thermal and the other for parts next time. $36 bucks for the part and $50 an hour and I do those repairs all day.
This was a great video! I didn’t have to remove the drum! Yay 😀! I had limited space but I did fine. Dryer is working like clockwork! The hardest part was the stand the element was sitting on.. I had to bend it a bit,so it was a terror to put back on..but I managed. My steam w&d are about 11 years old and still work fine. Thanx for your help. Greatly appreciated..money saved!
Thank you for this video i was going to get a replacement for it and my wife told me to check on TH-cam how to fix it, and Thanks to you buddy i don't have to buy a new one. I fix it my self.. thank you so much for this learning video.. muchas gracias! God bless! 🙏
Great video. Thanks a bunch! Had the exact same problem with the broken heater coil. I did struggle with the rear screw and ended up scraping my forearm as well! Few tips:
- wear work gloves. Every edge is sharp. POS manufacturing!
- wear long sleeves to protect your forearm. I got several scrapes while fiddling with the heater box
- the rear screw was a f***ing pain to remove. Having a high torque electric driver would have helped.
Great pointers!
Thanks for the video. I just followed your instructions, ordered a new heating element through Amazon and the dryer is working again, although I ended up with 3 extras screws 😂. We have the same model #, however, mine has a couple of clamps in the control panel, it was a little tricky to get it loose. Other than that, all went smoothly, Thanks again. 👍
Just paid to have this done. Expensive. The tech pulled the drum out the front. Said it was easier to get to the rear for a few things.
Thank You!!!. This Video saved me hundreds of dollars. I would of never tried this repair without this video. You made it workable.
Thank you. Took me a couple of hours. Part costed $27. You’re greatly appreciated 👊🏼✝️☝🏼
Great news!
Thank you so much. It simple but when you don’t know what you are doing it can be very complicated, I watched the video several times and then acción... thanks.
This video helped me out a lot, have the exact same dryer. Was a perfect tutorial how to video. Thank you. New heating element and it’s back running now. And… I cut my hand as well on that metal.. twice.. lol
Haha! Thanks!
Thanks. I have the same model and this was a big help 👍🏻
Great Video! Saved a major service call after ordering the assembly replacement. Looks like they reduced the number of screws on the U shaped bracket to facilitate the removal.
Thanks for the update!
Thanks man! Got my grooming salon dryer back up and running on my own 😁
THANK YOU for this tutorial! Great instructions, exactly what was wrong with ours. Saved me a bunch of repair/replacement $. Much appreciated!
Thanks. Got my dryer fixed after watching your video.
For everyone here before y’all judge ik it’s confusing but on the bottom of the channel it says fix ur drier or something like that that’s the link to the video I tried it on my and it worked great.
I know why y’all think he didn’t help but trust me he did and there’s is a full video give a try
Your video was exactly what I needed. Saved a ton of money and even got the same cut. Thank you so much!
I love a plan when it comes together!
Thank you so much, I just got done replacing mine. Thanks to you I saved a lot of money.
Awesome!
Thank you so much for this video my husband and I change ours👏👏👏 saves a lot they wanted $175with parts and labor.
Great!!
Took me an hour and just follow this video to fix my dryer! Thank you!!
I’ve used this video to help me replace our heating coil twice. Thanks very much!
Yeah...they don't seem to last very long. Thanks!
It worked!!!! You are awesome thank you for guiding us thru the process!!! Have a great evening
This was a great video thanks bro. So I couldn’t wait a couple of days for the new element to come in so just for everybody out there you can get a butt connector and kind of crimp it onto the wires that have broke and the heating element will come back on. I haven’t figured out how long that will last as of yet, but it works.
Nice job!
Just fixed my dryer using this video, God bless you sir!
Just finished fixing my dryer following this video! Thank you!
Good news!
Thanks for video. You did an awesome job explaining and showing step by step process. You saved me hundreds of dollars. Thanks for the awesome video.
thank you for this video! I fixed my dryer today and it is now drying again.
Thanks so much for this video! Tested with ohmmeter and I surprisingly didn't have my heating element go out but another component did. She's heating again!
Had to replace mine for the second time and needed this refresher. Thanks
I'm with you.
Thank you, just used this video to replace my heating element! Works like a charm again.
Yes!
Melvin Zoopers but damn, reaching the screws of the riser for the heating element was a pain.....
This video is pure gold! Thanks works like new!
This worked PERFECTLY!! Only took me about an hour and voila!!!!
An hour? Wow, nice job!
Great step by step video. I will add though after the correct heating element is replaced there may be a slight smell of burning. It does go away after about 10 minutes. Thanks again!!
Great point!
This video is amazing. Exactly what i needed for my dryer. I'd recommend samsung parts, they are way more expensive but these dam amazon parts crap out every 6 months or so its annoying.
Great video bro !! Saved me alotta money !! And my wife thinks im awesome for fixing our drier!!
From the doghouse to the penthouse!
Lifesaver! That damn u-shaped metal piece was a beast. Took me the longest to get those 2 back screws off, but I got it eventually. Thx again for posting.
How did you manage to get the 2 screws from the back? It’s a b***.! I can’t even see the screws, only feel them. Please help! Thx
smiley0987 I used a stubby screw driver and just went off of feel. It took a while, I didn’t actually screw them back in when I was putting it back together. I couldn’t be bothered.
L A thank you so much for your quick reply! Ok ill have to pick up that screwdriver! Yes I won’t be bothered to put them back either. Arghhhh I was just trying to yank the element piece out but of course it won’t fit, Samsung makes everything difficult. Hubby is ready to buy a new dryer but Im so determined to test this piece first.Thanks again!
smiley0987 it’s worth it in the end, it’ll just take a little bit more time than you would like. I didn’t see a break in my heating element so I did swap everything out in the kit and dryer has been working like a champ since.
smiley0987 best of luck!
Also to note folks, if you order the element with all parts attached to the casing for $50 (if you don't troubleshoot all parts first) you may have to shape your case into the intake. Ive had cases where it was too large for the hole.
That's what she said 😅
Your video helped me a lot because my dryer went out and the same thing happened with the heating element
