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!

Thank you for those kind words sir! God Bless Texas!

I was already going to get a new dryer until I found this video, like all the others you saved me literally hundreds of dollars! Thank you!

Took me longer than I thought, but it worked! Thanks so much for your in depth video...there’s no way I could’ve figured it out myself.

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 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).

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!

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.

Thank you so much for letting me know I could get a repair kit from Amazon. Had no clue something like this was there.

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.

Cool! Road trip from Minnesota to Kentucky! Glad it helped!

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.

Sir thank you for this video. I just bought replacement parts for $20. Better than a repair man charging $100 just to show! Thanks again!!

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!

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!

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 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

Awesome outcome!

Thank you! Was “relieved” to find that my coil spring was also broke, so like you I replaced that only and not the other OEM parts. Back right-side U bracket screw was a pain, but my biggest issue was stripping out one of the front side door screws 😱 Fortunately had a Dremel cut-off wheel that I was able to put a small “slice” into the head of the screw and then crack it loose with a flathead screwdriver. Still took some muscle because it was cranked down AND had red loctite! Thought I’d mention my solution in case anyone has the same problem on this or another project. Now just hoping the $26 part from Amazon lasts so I don’t have to do this again. Some reviews have me a bit worried. Thanks again for a great vid and for letting me know to wear gloves. The only cut was to that stupid door screw!

This is the best tutorial I’ve found online by far! Thank you for taking the time to explain in detail

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.

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!

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!

Thank you! You made this daunting task easy for me and saved me a couple hundred bucks.

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.

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!

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.

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 KZread great! I'm actually surprised at how easy this job was!
