Great video. Missing one small part about 3 screws on the front panel around the door (2 bottom, 1 top). Also, you can buy the whole heating exchange unit pre-made if you don't want to mess around with switching out the components. Thanks for the walk through.

Jeff, I would like to say thank you so much for this detailed step by step tutorial! Very much appreciated! Just sharing information, my Samsung electric dryer was model number "DVE52M7750W/A3" and this video was pretty much spot on for me and I decided to just replace the whole heating assembly for a more "plug and play" type installation, the Samsung part number I ordered was "DC93-00154A". I confirmed this part number from the "samsungparts" manufacturers parts catalog website, hope this helps someone and thanks so much again Jeff!

Wow - this was so helpful! We aren't big DIY-ers, but took a chance on the $20 element part (thanks for the link!) and an hour or two on a Sunday afternoon, and it worked like a charm (after reading about the missing part - thanks for updating)!

I am so thankful for this video. I was not only able to fix the dryer myself but save $300 dollars just for a repair man to come out and diagnose the problem with no guarantee to fix it same day.

Well I just finished. After a few bumps, I finally got the front door off, and it was due to a few extra screws I didn’t take out. The rest of the job went very smooth with no problems. Be careful of the metal on the heating core cover because it is really sharp and could cut you pretty bad. I have a few cuts that bled for a bit. Thanks for the video

Arcade Slum, it’s hard to get good parts these days. Make sure your lint vent and tubing coming out the back of the unit isn’t clogged. That can blow an element as well as a faulty thermostat.

This was my first attempt at fixing a dryer. With the help of this video and another about the same model, I am proud to say I was able to get the job done. One tip for anyone attempting this, there is no need to remove the brackets from the back of the machine. Those brackets serve as a hinge. The clips holding the top in place can be pried loose from the front with a flat head screwdriver. The top lifts up to reveal the screws needing to be removed. Thank you for making this video, it was a huge help.

This was the most helpful videos we watched during our repair. We found it was easier to remove the back panel connection to be able to access the two screws behind the heating element stand. The part that took us the longest was finding a short stubby screwdriver. 2 hours total including the scavenger hunt. Thank you for the video.

I watched a bunch of videos on this repair. Yours was the best and the one that I used as my guide while I fixed my Samsung dryer. Thank you for posting this video!

Followed your guide and it works like a charm now. I went ahead and ordered the other two parts that are attached to the heating element though and replaced it all.

I just completed this fix. It took me 1.5 hours because I was cleaning as I went. The video was a huge help and the hints were valuable. I replaced the entire heating unit. Cost me $150 with shipping. No joke, the three screws in the door are a must in order to get the front face off. I discovered the last clown who worked on the dryer when the Mother Board died lost one of the brackets on the back. I was OCD and put all screws is small Dixie cups and labeled them based on where they came from. You probably don't need to do this, but.... The rear screws on the back bracket that holds the heating element took me the longest. I am a big person and it is a tight space. The issue with my unit was the heating element. It had a break in it. I took several photos of the wiring - it helped tremendously. The flathead screw driver - wiggle method worked great. I used a small precision screwdriver and once you move the clip off of the post the width of the screwdriver, they come right off. Thank you Jeff for paving the way. Momma's happy, so we are all happy...

As a woman who has never really done anything like this before, I found this video and the comment below about the 3 front screws extremely helpful. My daughter and I tackled this heating element replacement together. However, it does require patience and determination to get the blind screws off on the back of the bracket that you have to do by feel. I ordered the replacement kit on Amazon $32.00 (includes heat element, fuse and thermostat and a couple other thermostats).Hooked it all back up and is running/heating again. The replacement parts are aftermarket parts and not Samsung name brand, hopefully they will last a while. I also did not put in 3 of the screws. One of them from the back of the bracket where you have to do it by feel and the other 2 on the cover to the heating element. Since the parts are aftermarket some of the holes did not line up correctly, but I made sure it's placement was secured by all the other screws holding it together.

You might want to let your viewers know that by just removing the heating element housing by itself will leave the lint that has accumulated inside the dryer. Which can then lead to a greater problem. One that could potentially be a life or death situation. It's a smarter idea to go ahead and remove the front wall as well as the drum. Once removed it will be a whole lot easier to remove all of the lint that has built up over the years. Therefore leaving less chance of a fire. Otherwise a very nice and informative (how-to video). Thank you for the effort that was put into making it.

Yes the remark at 8:53 "When you remove the connectors originally, be sure to take note as to which connectors go to which terminals, so that you reinstall them correctly" should really be at 4:33 before you remove the connectors! When you go to reattach them it's too late, and it's hard to tell from the video how they go. I took some pictures before removing so I think I got them back on right, but my videography was poor and I'm slightly doubtful.

Just ordered a new dryer today and was checking some YT videos to see how hard it was to work on and yeesh, this is so much more hassle than the dryer that I'm replacing, with that one you just had to take off the back panel and you had access to everything.

@@DIYJeff When I took mine out, I noticed tiny bits of lint in the area, not much but enough to make me think that lint may have flew by and touched the coil while it was hot and made it hotter in that spot and it burned and broke the coil. I'm no engineer or mechanic so that may not even be possible, but if it is, maybe it's a tiny design flaw that could be fixed to where there is no way lint could get inside the housing. I'm making sure now I clean the lint out really well after each use just in case.

Great video. I replaced the element, and while at it, did the thermostat and thermo fuse, since they were right there and only $10 of Amazon. Be careful on the sheet metal inside the dryer, it's sharp.

You’re welcome

Excellent video. Please remove the front 3 screws located inside the door and drum area. See other comments for more details. Once you have those off the front section can be removed. Other than that. Perfect video. Rock on and thank you for the links saved a lot of money. Cheers

I just did the same thing in this exact dryer. My only comment, you can remove the entire element without removing all the wires from each connection point. As stated, they are on there tight. Instead of running the risk of damaging anything, simply remove the sensors via 2 philips screws each once you pull the heat element housing out. You’ll need to unscrew the ground wire just to have a little more wiggle room. Way easier and less likely to damage anything or reinstall the wires incorrectly. Cheers.

Thanks for this, mine was a bit different for it had 3 extra screws to remove from the front but other than that I followed this to replace the whole heating set, thank you very much.

Great video! I had to get back underneath a second time to reattach one of the wires that I knocked loose during the reassemble.

@Dave Mac, the good news is you figured out the wire came loose and was able to reattach it.

Thank God someone made a video about MY EXACT dryer!! But we went through all this trouble, tear it down, put it back together, swapping out the element, and that was not the problem 😭😭😭. But at least now I know how to do it. Thank you.

Duane Watson , did you find out what is wrong with it?

@@DIYJeff Yes I did. I'm ashamed to admit this, but I had 2 wires backwards. Whatever the component is on the rear of the element housing? I had those two wires on that component reversed. Put them on right, and now the dryer works like it's brand new! Thank you for uploading, and thank you for asking!

Duane Watson , nothing to be ashamed about. What’s great is that you were able to figure it out and now it’s fixed! Each successful DIY project you do grows confidence and ability to take on other projects you’ve never done.

Thank you for the video. Saved me a few hundred dollars.

@sheisel1, you're welcome. I'm glad you were able to get it working again.

very good video and if I only miss the part where I pointed out that I had to remove the 3 screws from the front panel, it almost destroyed the dryer, the best thing is that my wife was with me and she was helping me fold it 😁😁

Thanks for the video. The only difference that I found from your instructions was that the front is held on onto the tumbler by one screw at the top just below the light sensor and two screws at the bottom just below the lint closet, otherwise everything was spot on.

@Spider Bob What!!! Do you mean that inside the tumbler itself? I'm trying right now to get frame off and its stuck. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for this tutorial!! My daughter and I were able to replace the entire assembly thanks to your guidance! I am curious to know how long I should expect the burning smell. I see in the previous comments that it is to be expected, but I need reassurance that I won't burn the house down, lol!

@Heather Hillage, it shouldn't last much longer than when you turn the heat on in your house after the summer and it hasn't been used in a long time. If it persists more than 2-3 minutes then there may be a different problem.

Thanks a lot. This video saved me 200$. The part was 30$ it took me a couple hours because I’m a rookie lol. But the dryer is running back to normal thanks again

DIY Jeff ya buddy. Part of the problem that slowed me down is I watched a couple other videos and took off parts I didn’t need to take off. I was happy when I found your video. All the other ones were saying to take the drum out.

THANK YOU, JEFF I was relieved to find your video is the exact model of dryer as mine. Your guidance made this job much easier than I anticipated it would be. Your instructions are easy to follow. FYI I could not get the two screws into the back of the supporting bracket as my hands are too big. I’ll see how it goes. I feel confident that if I have to take it apart again to replace those screws it won’t be a problem thanks to you. I just have to find someone with small hands😊

Thanks man, very helpful and yeah I did this fix and it's now working like new (happy wife). A couple of things best to just buy the whole heating element assembly (sensors, box and all), it's only $58 at amazon, believe me it will save you lots of cuts not to mention lots of time and one's back pain.

Sometimes the thermostat goes bad which causes the heating element to blow so replacing the whole thing certainly eliminates a bad thermostat.

@@DIYJeff Exactly. The assembly kit includes that too. Also, removing the drum for easy access and double check the idle pulley/belt conditions wouldn't hurt, did that to squeeze more years out of my dryer. Hey, these things aren't cheap, $700 plus vs. $70 bucks is a no brainer.
