I'm thinking this is my 2nd trip to this video as well. Thankfully, I think I may have an extra element (from frantically ordering 2 my first round). Thanks Daniel! :D Most helpful.
I hope you don't get tired of hearing how helpful something like this is--a sincere thank you! You literally just saved me $200!
Thanks a million! This tutorial got me through the replacement. I ended up ordering the entire assembly from Amazon and your instructions were spot on. I will say taking out the mounting assembly under the heating element and pulling the heating assembly out the front proved to be much easier than trying to pull it out of the back but that's just my 2 cents. Cannot thank you enough for sharing this video💯🤘🙏🙏🤞
Great help. Wonderful video. Another video I saw on this dryer he actually took out the drum, belt, and all! A hint which will HELP- You can take the heater coil housing out of the front. Remove the mounting screw and the screw holding the bracket to the floor, remove the bracket, and the heater package will slide out the front. And you can record the wiring method as you slide it out. Much easier. The wiring diagram that came with the replacement kit was wired differently than the factory did it, so you have a choice. I conformed to the method the kit showed, and it worked fine. But, it's your choice.
Thank you so much! I have absolutely zero experience repairing appliances and your video gave me confidence to order and replace the part myself with minimal issue. We have a ~2 year old Samsung DVE50M7450W and I quickly learned I would not have access to the back of the dryer. I was able to replace the assembly through the front of the machine after also removing the stabilizing bracket. We had significant build up of lint, which I suspect was the culprit. Thanks again!!

I have the exact same model as you so I’m glad this video corresponds with my situation. Good to know you had no trouble. I’m tackling mine tomorrow so wish me luck. I have previous experience in dealing with motherboards so I’m hoping I can get this done lol.🤘
This video was spot on, fixed my dryer for $40 and in less than 1 hour. Big props to the video creator and he was not kidding about the sharp edges inside of the dryer. Be careful!!!
Thank you for the video!! I just replaced my heater, took 1.5 hours and a $50 Amazon part. Probably half that time was cleaning the inside of the dryer out. This video was perfect for getting into the dryer the easy way.
Thanks for the detailed walk-through. Gave me the confidence to attempt and successfully make the repair myself.
Thank you, Sir. I just did it following your instructions. straight forward and worked well. saved a lot on the service tech.
As the person below noted, it's my exact same model and I just replaced the heating coil. Works like a charm now. Daniel, your help was very needed and appreciated!!
OMG Daniel, you don't know how VALUABLE your video is. We were off on vacation and came home with a mountain of wash, and of course our dryer failed to heat at all. Figured it was the heater or fuse but no clue how to get to it. Your video made it a cake walk (not easy, but perfect step-by-steps). Element burnt out, we were debating getting a new set but for $18 it should be back running in a couple days. Terminals a pain to get off but managed. Only thing I'd add is when starting to remove the connectors I left the top hinged down and put a few 2x4's under the front to make it easier to access. And the three of the wires are blue and two black so had to find a way to identify what is what. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍👍👍
Best video for Samsung dryer repair, thanks- you just saved me whatever bogus labor charge I might have gotten. Toughest part is removing wire clips from old kit. Thanks again!!
Thank you so much! I was able to follow your video to replace my heating assembly and now my dryer is heating again. I appreciate it!
Using your video helped me replace the assembly easily. I had a blown high heat fuse, but we noticed the last month, or so, it was not drying the same. The element was good and so was the thermostat, but the parts guy at a local appliance shop said it would be best to replace the assembly. 67 bucks. Thank you for the video. It made replacing it soooo easy!
I followed these instructions and fixed my dryer myself! All I needed was a $20 multimeter and a fuse. Thanks for the video!

John Tice is your dryer still working? Reason why I ask is because I've had it repaired twice by a repair specialist certified by Samsung and the first time it only lasted 5 minutes before it blew and the second time it lasted just a day short of being 2 weeks.
OUTSTANDING step by step. Thanks Daniel!!!!
Thank you Daniel your video was the most helpful out of all the videos available. Very detailed and thorough. This has helped me tremendously with my do it yourself repair project. Thanks again.
Thank you for the video, I was able to get it done in less than an hour. I had to take a break as one of the electrical wires was fried and looked as though a fire had almost started in the dryer with the connector to the heating element. I am very thankful I went to Ace hardware where I was able to get new wiring and clamps for less then $2. I now have a functional dryer again. Thank you.
This is the best repair tutorial out there! Thanks - it helped a bunch!
I have the same dryer and I replaced my heating element last night and your video really helped. Thanks!!!
Thanks for this video. Had the part replaced in an hour and saved a ton of money
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!
Step by step was easy to follow and well put together. The most difficult part of this whole installation was snapping the top down.😡 And getting sliced up. Thanks
Just got done replacing the heat unit in my dryer. A sliced thumb and firearm later, all good! Tip for others, wear long sleeves or put a towel along sharp edges! Thanks Daniel, this was very helpful!
Awesome step by step! Thank yu for making this look more accomplishable than other videos
Thanks for the video. I was able to fix my dryer quickly thanks to you.
Thank you so much! This video helped me replace my heating element so my dryer is working again. The hardest part was getting the stupid top to clip back down.
Just fixed our dryer, thank you so much for your video! Saved us so much money!
Ever step to the t. Didn’t buy the whole assembly kit but replaced the 3 parts inside the housing. Thanks for a great video!
And that's how you fix your own dryer! Thanks for the video.
This was awesome!!! We were able to fix on 30min, never fixed a dryer before, save me hundreds!!! Thank u!
Awesome video, thanks so much for taking the time to do this! All the steps were spot on, we were just about to go spend $700 on a new dryer and I just fixed it in an evening with a $20 part. Thank you!
You saved me a lot of money!! Thank you!! Many blessings to you my friend!!!!
Thank you very much for the video, I followed step-by-step and everything came out great. Personally I think it is easier to remove the back plate and exhaust duct and remove the wires from the back. I did what you said and took pictures of the wiring to make sure I replaced them correctly - Thank you!!
Thank you SO MUCH! Exactly, EXACYLY what I needed. I need a new heating element. It took all of 15 minutes to figure out. $20 part. Saved me At least $200 service call.
Thank you. These instructions were right on point and very helpful.
Thank you for this video! My Samsung didn’t have a back piece to remove so I had to remove that bracket that the part rests on, that was a pain because it had two hidden screws in the back. That is what took up the majority of the time, the rest was super easy thanks to your video! As stated in the video the edges are sharp! Got one cut and then laid a towel across the bottom to save my arms. My dryer has heat now, thanks!!

alicia ryan I had this same issue. Did you replace the complete assembly? If so, where do you find it?
Much needed video!! Saved me a couple hundred in pro installation.
VERY Nice job! Thank you so much for the walkthru! Saved me a lot of guesswork on how to disassemble/reassemble.
Thanks for the video -- every step spot on -- however, the dryer I have, I had to remove two screws that hold the bracket and bend it and remove the housing through the front. I ordered the complete replacement housing at $65 -- totally worth every penny.
Im glad this video is here cause this is thr exact dryer i own. thanks , now i feel like a professional! lol

Thanks a ton! Just fixed mine and your video made it super easy. Much appreciated
Excellent demo, thank you Daniel!
I fixed my dryer in about a half hour and for $40. Thank you for this!
Awesome video, I was able to fix my dryer for the cost of a new heating assembly and I know nothing about appliances lol
I have the same dryer with the same problem and the out come was the same fix . thank you for the instructions to change the heating element ...You were right on ..It's not for everyone to do ,but if you are a handy person you can do it ...thanks again .
Thank you so much for this!! I'm not an intuitively handy person, but I can follow visual instructions! I have the DV45H7000EW/A2 and the really important stuff is the same. However, for anyone else with my model, the rear panel is different so you can't pull the heating assembly through the rear (which sounds really painful anyway!). After removing the door assembly, you will also need to remove the frame that holds the drum in place (not the actual drum). This is easy to do, just remove the four screws that frame the edge of the drum opening and one more screw on the lower left that attaches this frame to the blower looking thing southwest of the lint trap. Lift the frame and pull it gently toward you - the drum rollers are attached to the frame so be careful not to force it forward too hard. After that, disconnect the wires and finish the rest of Daniel's amazing tutorial!!
Excellent video. You made my life much easier.
thank you, I had a similar problem with identical dryer. You Rock with how to dis-assemble "without scratching"...!!!!!
Thanks so much for this; very clear and precise helped a lot
This video is right on the money. Thanks, you did a perfect video.
Thank you for the video, just fixed my dryer...thanks to you!
Wonderful instructions. Thank you very much! My dryer is working better than ever and it was only $57 with tax.
Awesome video ! Your help worked. Thank you. Great job !!
Thank you for the excellent instructions. Saved me a lot of money!

Just fixed my dryer! Just needed to make sure wear wires go lol.
Thank you! My fuse was bad. I just unscrewed the 'platform' underneath the heater assembly and bent it down to get the heater assembly out. When repaired, just bend the 'platform' back into place. Much faster this way. Also, Make sure you buy the fuses on ebay or amazon. My local appliance parts store charged my $30 (for a $5 fuse). I was able to fix my dryer the same day, but, will just order off amazon/ebay next time and save even more money.

Mine has screws behind the platform ...I can’t figure out how to get that last screw out to remove the platform
I am very grateful for this detailed, step by step video. Our dryer is blowing hot air again, and my wife is very happy!

Awesome video man, saved me a couple bucks for sure. Thanks a bunch!
Done! Works fine now thanks for the help.
Thank you for this video! Saved me so much time.
Good instructions. I was able to replaced mine. Thanks
Thanks for the video. It was a great help! 👍
Thank you it was a great video. Helped my husband tremendously. Saved us a tech fee as well. Thank you again.
Awesome video. Worked like a charm! Just don't try to disconnect wires from the back! My arm slipped and cut forearm on the sharp tin. Ended up with 4 staples.
Thank you. THis is exactly (looks like) what I need to do. Had my dryer from Sears for 2 years, and it seems like it is not heating anymore. I've done a dryer element replacement on other things, but never a dryer like this. This is little more involved than others, but you make it look so easy. Thanks. My dryer is the dbxr463ed2ww. Very nice, but dislike how it (sometimes) makes drying decisions without your input. Maybe that's related to the element, not sure. But when it works, it works perfect. Oh yeah, ours will sometimes stop before it totally drys them. So, you have to put it on "absolute dry" or something like that. Anyway, wife does it mainly, but I just load them and press the same button everytime ... because I don't always have my glasses and tell what all the buttons say. Anyway, thanks for your video, and I plan to try it. But bet I can't get parts now as Christmas is just a few days away.
Thank you for the detailed information.
thank you for this video because i have the same dryer and it has no heat...so now i can do it myself :)
Using your video helped me fix my dryer easily. My only suggestion would be to give the warnings about sharp points in the dryer and noting where the wires go earlier in the video. Overall great job and thank you for the video it was spot on
Thank you sir!! You saved me a ton of money and time!!
Thank you so much Sir that was very very helpful. I will be replacing my heating element.
Very easy to understand and accomplish. The only difference was that my dryer didn't have the backside access. I had to do some more creative way to get it out and get the new one in. Thanks for the help though. Took me about 35 minutes.
Thank you so much! Made the job so much easier.
Awesome video really helped out a lot
Done and done. Thank you so much!!
Very helpful - thank you very much!
Thank You! Also i think you need a Skil sponsorship. I ended up buying that skil screwdriver too before working on this lol
Thank you so much how do l know which part to order. It has a number code?
very informative, thank you!
Thank you great video a lot of help!
thanks daniel for the detailed instructions which i followed easily. however, after replacing the heat assembly my issues of intermittent heat still persist. here are some clues...if the exhaust vent is removed from the dryer then it heats up fine. the dryer is vented outside over approx. 12ft with only one 90 elbow at the back of the dryer. the duct is clear (used my gas powered leaf blower to blow it clear from the inside).... as a temporary fix i thought to just use one of those water lint traps but as soon as i attach to dryer it stops heating again.....this is only about 3ft of brand new semi ridgid duct. i dont think the heat assembly needed to be changed and i'm now thinking its the control board. anyway to test the board? thanks!
Thank you so much for your video,it’s really a very good help.one question,my Samsung dryer over heats the clothes and they come out wrinkled and at the end of the cycle it shows HE.what is the best thing for me to check or do?
You made a great video thank you!!!!
Thank you sir! Well done
Thank you! Thank you!! Your video was PERFECT! I was able to order the part and fix my dryer all by myself using your video! I cannot thank you enough! My husband, I'm sure, will also appreciate that he didn't have to do it. 😀
I have a Samsung dryer that is approximately 2 years old ( not near the unit and I can't recall the model but looks similar to the one in this video). The problem I have is that one blade of the pigtale cord gets so hot that I cannot touch it after I pull the plug. I am very adamant about keeping the lint trap and exhaust duct clean so that's not an issue. When I pulled the receptacle, one thing I noticed right off is that the previous homeowner (I assume) ran the circuit using 10-2/w #12 ground and he taped the ground and used it like a de-rated neutral. My plan is to re-pull the circuit using 10-3/w ground. Can using that #12 as the neutral cause one leg to draw more current than it should? I am also wondering why it's not tripping the 30A breaker in the panel.
Hello Daniel!!! First let me say thanks, i myself am a fellow KZreadr that does reviews and etc.The thanks comes into play because i have that dryer minus the steam option that i've only owned for about 2 years. The other day after the dryer running for a long period, i checked the clothes to only realize they were still damp. After many different attemps to get to work all failed. So of course i hoped on KZread and started to see if there were videos on this situation and yours was one of the first to pop up in the suggested. After watching i ordered the part, meaning the whole assembly, online and the part arrived today. So which leads me to now, after less than an hour i had the old part out and new one in and the dryer is now working again. I only did one thing different, instead of removing the rear vent assembly, i just removed the bracket itself that the part rests on. By doing that the whole assembly comes out the front of the dryer and easier imo to unplug the wires and reinstall the new part. Again thanks for the video, very informative and you gained a sub from me. Thanks again!!!
I pulled the entire housing out the front and replaced the internal elements and all of the bits and pieces. It was a bear getting it out the front, especially because there was a clip pinning it down into the platform it was sitting on. But - my clothes are now drying and have only been out of commission for 24 hrs. Not too shabby! $30 and done.
Thanks . Great tutorial..👍
Thank YOU!! Got the element out, ordered, and replaced. Having your video definitely helped speed the process along for my husband!! Speed during soybean harvest got me back in the laundry business between bean fields!!
How long did you let the dryer run after installing the new assembly? Just wondering when I need to explore other options.
When mounting the thermal fuse AND the thermostat on the element, does it matter which way they are turned?
Tysvm awesome video👍🏼😁
thanks for making this
THANK YOU!!! Excellent Video Bud!!!! My biggest question is, Should I replace all those parts at one time. Ive always followed the Logic of, "If it's NOT Broken Don't Fix It", but for $35 on Amazon (01/21/20) I ordered the Heating Element & got 3 Thermostats & a Thermister with the kit. I'm guessing the product quality is not up to Samsung standards so should I take the chance of going ahead & changing them or not. Ive replaced Dryer Heating Elements before, I just had not on my 5yr old dryer. This video help me figure out where the Heating Coil is & Exactly how to get to it, without me just tearing apart parts I didn't need to! EXCELLENT EXCELLENT VIDEO!!!
Sir I cannot thank you enough, great video! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Have the same model dryer. On start up, gives error code tE and will not function further from there. Tested all of the fuses and thermostat with multimeter and seem fine? Debating having someone look at it versus throwing parts at it? Worried could be the computer board? Thoughts? Thanks!
How did you in fasten the heater element from the back of the dryer?
We have the same dryer, but on the back of our dryer by the vent there is no plate to remove. How would we pull out the old unit?
thank you very much sir. saved me $2100 on a new washer and dryer.
Saved me $300 from an appliance repair guy! Thank you
