    THANK YOU Justin! Your video just saved me from buying a new dryer. The new one was 799 plus tax, delivery and was 2 weeks out. Had a new element from Amazon for 33 dollars in 2 days and 2 hrs later I had a working dryer. Great feeling saving that much.

    I thank God for the time you took to post this! I found your video in search of fixing my Samsung Electric Dryer. You were very thorough in explaining step by step how to change the heating coil and I felt completely certain that my husband and I could do it together. I ordered a multimeter and a heating coil on Amazon Saturday evening. It arrived Sunday evening and we installed it this morning (Monday). Hallelujah! It's a celebration 🍉🎉🎈. My dryer is working again and my determination to fix it was encouraged by your video + I'll be further encouraged in the future to fix a problem that arises. Blessings.

    Thanks for posting! I watched a different KZreadr before tackling this. He had me pulling out the whole drum to get to the heating element, didn't show how to bend the tabs to lock it in place, didn't mention the wire shouldn't touch the coil, and said I had to remove the control panel before I could get the door out. I found your video after getting a DE error when all was done.

    In June 2021, I watched this and decided to taackle the needed repair job myself, as the next service availability was a week away and we needed to wash and dry. The video was extremely helpful. My heater element indeed had a break and i got an original replacement for $100 or so, sincee I could get it that day. I only cut myself twice during the work. only had one plastic part leftover after the job, perhaps a wire holder. the lid does not hold down as tight as it used to though.

    Thank you so much for posting this video and walking through every step. Gave me the confidence to try this myself after Samsung moved my appointment three times. Helped me out tremendously and only spent $30 with Amazon instead of the $300+ Samsung service center quoted me. I also had the bracket with the screws in the back so thank you to those that commented about the difference and what you did to get to those. One thing i'm curious about, is the dryer supposed to be warm to the touch on the outside down where the heating element is? It's not HOT per say, I can hold my hand there when it's on medium heat, but it's a bit uncomfortably warm.

    I changed my element on June 24, 2021 using this video. FYI, some things have changed, now the housing for the element has a screw through to the bottom bracket, also, instead of having tabs on the bracket at the rear, there are two screws that screw to the bottom of the dryer. It can still be done, but you have to reach along side of the bracket to get to the back screws. Makes it a little harder to get out and back in.

The only difference in mine was there were 2 screws on the back side of the part that was holding up the heating element. They were very difficult to get to, but we were able to get them out with some time. Putting the parts back together was easier than taking them out. All in all it took us about an hour to complete the entire project. Thank you again your video was extremely helpful.

    Great video. I don't have the instruction manual on mine, but I am glad that you showed the testing of the different components. I do need to learn how to do that. Right now, mine's running for 3 minutes then dropping down to 1 minute and quickly shutting off. So, I plan Saturday to monkey around with it and see if I can figure it out. I looked at the Moisture Sensors (from your other video), but I don't see anything in there (e.g., a dryer sheet). So, I plan to open it up and see if something had unlocked that sensor wire (maybe?). I'll do my best to remember to update you, if I figure out what the hell is wrong.

Then reached in from the back and by just feel unscrew the 2 screws - Samsung idiot design - when I put it back together I put the 2 screws in the back in from the bottom of the dryer - Genius! Last time I did this it was on a Maytag and all I had to do is pull of the back off and the heater element was right there to change out - took 30 mins - Samsung took 2 hours - pain in the A??

    Hello. I'm trying to figure out if my issue is with the heating element or the motor. I can get the dryer running if I hold down the door sensor and give the drum a spin. Will the dryer power on if the heating element is damged?

    Question for you...I fixed my dryer and then pushed power button...catchy tune came on...pushed start and it quit...tried to repower 2nd time.... no power came on after that ...I realized the wires I forgot to hook up blue...red..and black..wires to the heating element...question is after I reattach red..blue..black wires...will everything come back on?

    Since it didn't power on the 2nd time, I think you could have possibly had the wires touching the chassis and grounded the circuit and possibly damaged the circuit board. Try connecting them back up and let me know if it comes on.

    It's called a Digital Multimeter. Other things can cause this problem. A clogged exhaust, bad thermal protection device or a bad contact in the motor. Here's a video I show when I found a bad contact in the motor and had to change that: kzread.info/dash/bejne/e3V5rY97YbfTe6w.html
