We have a samsung and have replaced the heating element twice in a month then found some sensors that aren’t all on the element were bad so we replaced them. We snaked the dryer vents out with a tool like you have and our drill , got a ton out. Well the dryer worked great for 3 days and back to not heating up. Guess we will have to buy a new one because it’s not the element or sensors we found. At a loss now

I followed the video perfectly and all went well. Just one thing strange, ohm test checked good on all the prongs on the old heating element after removal and the coil though mostly black was not broken, I did find the plate cracked exactly in the same place as the one in the video. So I went ahead and changed everything that came with the kit, including the Thermal Fuse and the Thermostat. After I thoroughly cleaned the interior I could get to of the dryer, and thoroughly cleaned the lint vent all the way to the roof I reinstalled the complete unit. After installation everything worked perfectly, dryer is heating well as new again. Why it stopped heating when ohm check checked good is still a mystery unless the crack in the plate holding the coils was a factor.

Just want to say THANK YOU! I'm a mom and when my dryer went out I was ready to cryyy (we had our vent cleaned so I knew that wasn't the issue). I found your video and thought okay, this is crazy but I'm going to do it. I DID IT!!!!! I haven't been this proud of myself since childbirth 🤣🤣🤣

Very helpful! I had trouble fitting the repaired heater enclosure into the round hole at the back after replacing and re-assembling. Kept falling out as I positioned the bracket underneath. Was made easier by attaching the bottom bracket back to the heater enclosure (after sliding the enclosure back into the dryer and reattaching wires) with the single screw on the tab of the enclosure, then positioning everything, and then securing the bracket at the bottom with the screws. Also, the heater enclosure has a tab that has to slide into a slot in the bracket, at least on mine. That threw me for a bit - again easier to attach them back together first, then position and complete the final re-install.

THANK YOU!!!! I was able to fix my dryer MYSELF!!! Never have fixed any appliance before! My teenage boys now know they have a FIX IT Mom!! LOL

Jeff, thanks so much for the detailed service video. Was able to get it done the first time around with very little hiccup. My model is a Samsung number DV350AER XAA03. Only differences were the tabs on the front panel were a bit different and not as cumbersome to line up. And the major difference (which was a relief) is that the bracket holding the heater element casing didn’t halve the screws on the back that required the reach behind with the stubby screw driver. The bracket now just has the 2 screws in the front, and slots that the bracket slide into on the base of the machine. Dryer now working like a charm. I have a home warranty that would’ve covered it. But it’s an $85 service fee and a wait time for a service tech. The part cost me only $28 on Amazon and was delivered within 8 hours. Took me only a couple hours of work time in between smoking a brisket outside. Much thanks brother!

Excellent video! Your advice was right on. The walkthrough had just enough detail but didn't get bogged down in banter. You described and linked exactly what was necessary for the job. Nice freaking vid! Just saved me a bunch. I think these heating elements are just low quality. My dryer is 4 years old, the vent is only a few feet long and was essentially clear and I clean the lint filter after every load. The plate was cracked on mine too, just like the one you showed. Anyway, thanks!

Easy peasy!

Thanks so much for this video! I was able to disassemble the dryer and test all connections for continuity. While it actually wasn’t the heating element, I still had to take the same steps to determine that it was the thermal cutoff fuse. Ordered a new one on Tuesday, got it today, switched it out, and reassembled. Voila! We have heat in the dryer now! I agree with the previous comment about having a first aid kit handy. No matter how careful I was, I still managed to cut myself 5 times just because all the pieces are metal and pretty thin, so like razors everywhere. Also, be prepared for a harder time putting it back together - at least that’s how it went for me. Screws come out much easier than they go in. Same with the bracket. My Samsung didn’t have the two screws on backside of bracket, fortunately. And finally, when this man tells you to take good pictures of your wiring, LISTEN to him. I took pictures and still was praying I got it right when reconnecting. Thanks for the awesome video.

Usually we see a code on the Samsung models (most not all depending if the temp sensor is driven by a circuit board: tS, t5, tC, tO, t0, tE, tE3, tC5, tCS, 1 tC, 1tC5, 1tCS, Extra Low light is blinking. * some units have a fault code that wont allow the dryer to start until the filter or vent is cleared. One has to ask are you getting no heat, low heat at high heat setting, just lo heat etc.- might not be the heating element coil. This is why we use diagnostic steps, basic electronic science and read a wiring schematic. VS most DIYERS and novices * even professionals shoot the parts cannon at the problem see what sticks (which is NOT diagnostic/critical thinking). HINT most wire schematics for dryers are taped behind or behind and inside the top control module (BONUS HINT on refrigerators there taped Behind the front grill, in the center or on the left side. Other common locations are on the left or right side by the condenser, or inside the refrigerator section inside the control panel)). Most show you the error code faults and most show you how to read the faults from there you can TEST the circuits, sensors, heating coils following the wire schematic to determine exact problem. If you cant test it you haven't found the problem. * like Jeff shows. Electric dryers are very simple machines (most are electron hogs) vs gas vs line clothes outside. IF I could recommend any purchase advise to consumers- STAY AWAY from all the sensor gadget features on a dryer (or washer or any appliance) you only need about 4-5 temp settings with todays clothes the rest of the crap manufactures throw on there is just plan nonsense i.e. sanitation settings. Dryer manufacturers use sanitation standards put forth by the National Science Foundation adding more settings and upselling is just marketing BS. Sure manufactures are thinking about a VIRUS sanitation setting.

Eh you just admitted it is the design that's at fault after saying it was the user's fault. The thermal fuse should open before there is any chance of the element breaking. It's a flat out bad design. A thermal fuse is much cheaper to fix than an entire heating element.

@jeffostroff

3 жыл бұрын

Sometimes the heating element can break simply from the stress of the heat several cycles of high heat before and the thermal fuse kicks in . Also we don't know that maybe there is flaw in the manufacturing I have had a number of people comment to me that their heating element cracked in the exact same place mine did I find that to be kind of coincidental. But yes when there's excessive heat inside the dryer it is our fault for not cleaning out the duct inside the wall and if you have blockages in there then all of the heat and humidity cannot escape out of the duct and out into the outside world, it stays trapped inside the dryer where it is constantly under high heat and the dryers are designed so that the heat is dissipating out the duct not being trapped inside the dryer

Thank you Sir. With your help, I was able to fix my dryer.

Excellent instructions. Thanks so much for helping me fix this for a reasonable cost ❤

Spot on video sir. I always test from the connector to the case also to make sure Its not shorting to case other than that BRAVO

Thanks Jeff. Attempted this repair myself and was successful. Excellent video.

I have a Kenmore dryer, which is made by Samsung and this tutorial was amazingly helpful😊. Thank you so much, you saved me a ton of money !

Your guide and link to the parts needed saved me hundreds on a new dryer! Thank you so very much!

Hey, great video. I search up fix videos whenever I need them, and yours was well organized, with very clear audio

Thanks so much for your attention to detail and your well explained video. The crazy thing about this is the fact that my broken element had the break in the exact same place!! Second coil to the left of the retainer. And the base plate was cracked in the exact same manner. Thanks so much for saving me a lot of money by being able to do this myself. I appreciate it.

Hello! I just wanted to say thank you so much for your video and your patience in explaining it. My dryer wasn’t drying! So I googled and your video came up and I watched and then I said let me see if I can do it on my own and guess what I fixed it thanks to you!!! I feel so proud of myself!! My issue was the thermal fuse not the heating element, I only spent $15 bucks 😁 thank you and keep up the great work!!

Just watched your video - twice!! Feel so confident now that I ordered the parts and will attempt on my own - will let you know how it goes...

Thank you very much for your help me to save my samsungdryer. My samsungdryer was not working and I do not know what happened. I just watch your video and following your instruction. I did it today and my samsungdryer is working excellent now. Thank you again and I wish you in good health.

I followed this video step by step, and was able to change this part on my own, (someone who has very little experience in handywork!) Amazing!!! Thank you so much for saving me a couple hundred dollars on a repairman.

Thank thank thank you!!! None of the other videos showed this exact model! I really appreciate you making this video! It was so easy to fix!

Glad I could help Debbie

Thanks so much for this detailed video! Even though I was looking for an excuse to get rid of the Samsung appliances that came with the house, figured I could try to fix it first to at least finish my laundry. But omg, the lint dust! I vacuumed out the vent in the wall first with my shopvac and it clogged for a sec with the chunks that came out! Glad I watched this video and saved myself a fire. My parents never owned a house, so I had no idea that it was a thing to be aware of. The only thing I wished the video had addressed was how tricky the metal wire connecter tab things connected to the shell of the heating element could be. I figured it out eventually! Thanks again!

Thank you so much for your time and effort. You,ve just save me from a big bill. Great video, i followed you step by step, all was clear. Under $40, and less than 2 hours I fixed my Samsung dryer. First time I fixed an appliance by my self. Great thanks.

Thank you for the post. I had no experience repairing dryers, but I was able to save a ton of money by following your instructions.

We could not have done this without the help of this video. My husband and I are 70 years old and have always been very resourceful, but this was truly a job that was beyond our skill set. However, with your help we now have a working Samsung dryer that was purchased under 4 years ago. We remodeled in 2017 and purchased 4 brand new appliances. Of them, 3 have had issues and we still do not have the ice maker in our fridge repaired. We will never buy a Samsung appliance again. Thank you so much for putting this video online. The hardest part was loosening the screws and wiring clips. Lol! You are a gem!

90minutes start to finish. Jeff, thanks, very well done Video. I normally make jobs like this into an afternoon and evening but watched your video start to finish, gathered the tools, ordered the parts and then walked through the steps.

Thanks for this video, helped me all the way from opening up the dryer, to confirming the open-circuit on the heating element, as well as how to properly clean the heating channel into the drum. Need more of these kinds of help videos on KZread.

Thank you! This is exactly the set of instructions I needed; super clear and spot on. Thanks also for the links below to the actual heating element

Absolutely the best DIY video out of the hundreds I've watched. The reminder to take a picture of the wiring?! Brilliant

Watch the video once and ordered the part from the link. I was able to install like a pro. No problems. My element look just like yours. It was broken in the same place and had the same crack in the metal plate. We have had our dryer for 6 years and this was the first problem. Thank you for the video!

Awesome Roy!

Just changed the part. Thanks for the video. It worked and saved me money.

Just wanted to say thank you, your video was easy to follow and it totally fixed our Samsung dryer as it was not heating, it turned out to be a bad thermal fuse, but I replaced that, the thermostat and the heater coil as the machine is 15 years old:) you made it easy :) was not sure I could do it, but thanks to you I did :), thank you again :)

Thanks for this video. I have the same exact dryer and was able to do the job in less than an hour thanks to you. Very helpful, not to mention how much money I saved by doing it my self

Just wanted to say huge thanks as well! Was able to get in and swap out the heating element. Great savings by being able to do it myself!
