Dryer Not Heating Up - Fixed - Samsung Dryer Element Replacement 

Here is the dryer element I used. amzn.to/3RAZKZP

This has to be one of the best dryer DIY fix instructions that I have seen compare to the others that are long winded and full of bells and whistles of intro and useless background music. Thanks!

Perfect RU-vid video. No BS, straight to it. No life story on how his grandfather used to dry clothes by running around the yard. PERFECT HOW TO VIDEO

I am a single mom and I could not afford for my dryer to stop heating. I ordered the part, followed your video step by step, and my dryer heats again. Not only do I feel accomplished, but I am so grateful for this video and the fact you saved me a few hundred bucks. Thank you so much! It was my heating coil as well!

Hey man! Wanted to let you know that this totally worked. I’m so happy to have it fixed. I’ve been diy-ing/remodeling my house for a couple years now and just finished the laundry portion of the house. I installed the machines that I purchased over a year ago, and was so excited to finally start using them. Did a couple loads and the dryer stopped heating. So stumped and disappointed. Then I found your video and thought I’d give it a try. Totally worked. Thank you again 👍🏼

Same dryer, same symptom, same problem. Thanks for the video! It saved me a lot of time and money.

I have found videos like this one on RU-vid to be invaluable with being able to fix so many things myself. Great job!

Well done, quick, not too difficult and saves a LOT of money. I've done that repair myself twice over the years and I always end up dropping 1 of the screws inside while putting it back together and have to reverse gears and partially disassemble the dryer, again, to retrieve it. LOL.

So thankful for your video. I was successful in fixing my dryer. I will say it was a bit of a struggle getting the new unit screwed back in. Sooo excited to have saved myself $$$ by doing it myself .

Thank you! You were right, the screws behind the stand are tricky, but the vid was great and my dryer works again!

I just repaired my dryer after watching/following your video. Thank you very much!

Thank you so much for this. Ordered the part, followed your instructions and dryer is now working

From one RU-vidr to another, thank you! This video saved me probably hundreds in repair labor. Didn't take much longer than double the length of this video either. I bought the part through your link so hopefully Amazon shares that with you. Much love!

Excellent video! Nice simple explanation. I followed along and changed out my element and it now runs perfectly again. I estimate that I saved about $200 on labor and probably about $50 on the heating element by ordering it from Amazon and not paying a repairman/woman for the part.

Thank you for the great instruction. I was able to fix my dryer after ordering the part from your link. Thanks for making it easy.

Just repaired my dryer using these step by step directions! Thank you!

I fixed my dryer tonight for part cost when the repair place quoted me over $400! It wasn't quite a smooth going as your video, there were some plastic clips behind the control panel that didn't want to let go and the top was really hard to push back. Also had to open it up again after door error came on but discovered that I forgot to connect one wire connection. I'm just a wee little lady but I did it and now have a working dryer again thanks to you!! Sending some thank$ your way.

Nice work, Seth. You saved time and money by repairing your dryer yourself. I'm a new subscriber and am finding your videos fascinating, especially those featuring the ram pump.

Thanks for the video. I just finished fixing mine today. I appreciate it as my set up is identical to yours which really helped. 😊

Excellent! I am so glad that I found your video. With the knowledge you provided I was able to order the parts and repair my dryer. Thank you!

Thanks alot! Your video helped me a bunch, I've got the same exact dryer and its back and working again thanks to your video! I really appreciate it!❤

I so very much appreciate you and this video. Mine stopped working and I bought the part, which only took one day to get here. Went step by step using your video and did it all by myself. I mean, there was some tight spaces in there but I did it!! Thank you!!

Great detailed video and a simple DIY. Fixed my problem at a fraction of cost of calling repair person. The part i received from amazon did not fit as snug as it needed to. was able to bend the metal so that it could slide into the back better- however there is a little bit of a gap. Thanks again for sharing!

Hey, just wanted to say thanks for the video! Mine went down and I was looking at a steep repair bill having someone else fix it. I found A replacement part at a good price and I was in a max of 1.25 beers before she was all said and done! Again thanks a bunch!

Thanks so much for video! Super helpful. I got my dryer back in working condition in just a few hours (once the part arrived) and for less than $30!

Thank you! I saved myself so much money just by watching this and doing it myself. I really appreciate your tutorial 😆

I was able to use these instructions to replace the heating element in my DV448AEP/XAC (similar machine, but slightly different location of wires and screws). Clothes now dry properly, and this saved me a ton of money calling in someone to do it for me. Thanks for the instructions!

Seth, I don't normally comment on RU-vid videos but I have to thank you for publishing this video. My dryer's heating element went out last Sunday. Luckily it was on our last load of laundry so we didn't have to spend too many quarters at the laundromat. While my wife and I sat in the laundromat waiting for said load of laundry to dry, I was researching how to replace the heating element to see if it's something I could do myself, quickly and easily. You're video was the first one I found and it was a great help! I have to thank you for making it short and succinct. AND, an even bigger thanks for including the link to the replacement part. I was dreading having to find the right one. I ordered it while still at the laundromat. It arrived that following Wednesday and I got this repair done in about an hour (the majority of that time was spent cleaning out the lint from inside the dryer). You saved me, only God knows, so much time trying to figure this out myself and I've very grateful to you for that. So, thank you very much! God Bless!

Thank you so much for this step by step video. I fixed my dryer in less than 2 hours.

Thank you so much for this video! I was able to go step by step alongside you and replace the element in our dryer! Thank you so much!

The best dryer diy instructions. Easy to follow and well explained

Thanks! This video helped me replace mine. I had alot of trouble getting the new one back into its proper place though. I ended up opening the dryer from the back as well through the area with the exhaust pipe, was much easier for me to reach my hands in there and move the heating assembly back into its place and replace the two furthest screws for the stand from that side.

Thank you. $50CA off Amazon and working like new again. Great video

Thanks for the help! Excellent instructions! We have the same dryer with the exact problem. 🙏🏼

Thank you ! Just watched your video, bought the piece from a local shop and changed it. You mentioned how hard it was to reach the screws in the back of the stand, but it is so MUCH harder to screw them back in, especially when the stand doesn’t align perfectly because the piece is brand new and won’t sit where the old one was. Merci encore, d’un fan du Québec !

Nicely done. Fix-it yourself is a skill that is disappearing and well worth learning, thank you for sharing this. Save that nichrome wire from the heating element, you can use it to make a hot-wire cutter for foam-board & Styrofoam to custom cut odd shapes when insulating the tiny house or the micro-hydro, or make an ABS black pipe warmer to make it easier to insert/remove the barbed fittings that's less risky than a blow-torch, a heating bed for sheet plastic if you ever want to make a simple vacuuformer, or even just hang on to it to snip as-needed lengths to use for twist ties that can survive high temperature conditions like your "will it burn" videos, or making a slow cook accessory for your outdoor gas grill. BTW, If you are doing an appliance repair video, does that mean I have to do a ram-pump video? LOL

Very comprehensive and precise.Time well spent.

Thanks for the link to Amazon. I just ordered and plan to fix my own dryer ! The video is great !

I finish The first part is all very easy, thank you very much for this incredible video.

I did everything I mentioned, and now my dryer works fine. FYI, you really don’t need to disconnect the control panel connector. And there is a connector to the open door switch that if disconnected, helps with access.

Thank you. Element replaced from your instructions 😅

I really appreciate you creating this video, you save me a lot of money!!!!

Man, this saved me hundreds of dollars and a long wait. Thank you!

Have I mentioned how much this single mom loves RU-vid tutorials? Only every single time I use one to save my butt. Thank you so much, I went all summer without a dryer but I figured I would save on electricity by hanging things out on the line but winter is now coming and it's very cold and the only thing my clothes are going to do outside on the line, is freeze. I went to Lincoln and bought your part, they sent me to an upgraded part but it worked just fine. The only problem I had, was in the beginning of the video my top would not slide backwards. Apparently mine has clips and it pops straight up. I should have made a video. It would have been very comical, me trying to slide that top off. I also didn't have mine up in the are and I had a very hard time sliding the part into place. So I pulled it farther away from the wall and leaned it backwards and I had it where it needed to be in no time, in fact it was so easy I wasted 15 minutes of struggling while I was laying on the floor. Thank you, thank you, thank you, so much for this tutorial.

Thank you so very much for this video. I was able to follow step by step and fix my dryer. This was awesome!

Same deal, Samsung dryer stopped heating. Tomorrow I’m doing this repair. I’m glad I found your video I thought I was gonna have to unstack the dryer. Phew.

Thank You So Much!!! You saved me a lot of $$$. The part I ordered from Amazon (linked in the video description) did not quite fit so I took the filament out and repacked it in the old heater assembly which was a little more work but not much.

Thanks for this. Your videos are extremely helpful. Cheers!

Nice - encouraging to check myself the next broken device :) I did similar fix on my dishwasher some time ago :)

Thank you for posting this!

Thanks for your excellent video. I was able to follow your instructions and fix my dryer. Thank you for the link to buy the heating element also.

Thank you, this was exactly what I needed.

Thank you so much for the detailed instructions

Dammit, I just replaced my dryer last week because the element went bad and couldn’t find any info on how to repair it, extremely helpful video regardless

Worked perfectly - incredible video.

Thank you for the detailed video!!! I just ordered one!

Awesome tutorial. Part ordered, I will review when I do the install.

I did it ! Works great now. Thanks again.

Great video, thanks a lot!!

Awesome explanation, easy to fallow. Thanks

Thank you, great instructions!

Thank you so much for this video

Perfect. Thank you.

Very helpful, thanks.

Thanks u sir. Followed it to the tee. Great vid👍

Thank You ! Video was helpful !!

I did this!!! It works!

thank you for the video! the part is cheap on amazon and repair tech wants about $400 when a new samsung dryer goes for $475.

Well done video. Thank you.

excellent video, very helpful. I used your link for the part, hopefully you get a few bucks out of it :D

Thanks man✊️

Mine works like a charm. Great instructions. Only thing I would add. On the reinstall put the heater cage in first. Then mount the stand. The ever so slightly bigger screws go on the back side. The ever so thinner then go on the front. After the stand is mounted. It will take some work to fit the cage into the back. It will eventually fit int!o the slot on the stand. This is the hardest part of the entire reassembly. But great video. Thank you!

I've used this video twice now - thank you doubly!

Thank you!!!

Thanks it worked!

Thank u

Thanks!

This video was super helpful and I was able to replace the heating element. However, when I started running the dryer the right side of the dryer (near where the heating element is located) felt pretty warm. I am not sure if this is normal or if there could be a problem. Any thoughts?

Thank you so much for showing this method of removal! the other tutorials I found, while technically competent, all involved tearing down the whole unit - even removing the drum! Noooo thank you.

video is awesome wires on heating unit are not the same. should i replace wire same has my old one.

Need your help i just replaced dryer heat element and thermal but still no heat. I did not check the breaker if works need. to buy volt meter if there is 240 volts suply

I have a dve45t6000w would this same heating element work? Or should I find one with the exact model number?

i just used to either repair or restring it. after 35 yearsof doing that i dont miss it.. nor does my back lol. samsung can sing all he wants.. lol

Great tutorial. About how old is your Samsung dryer?

I have the same one, is there any reason why I have to replace it almost every 6 months? It's my 3rd time. Thank you for the video

So my control panel had a second connection not sure if I need to disconnect both?

I have a dryer from 1950s it's never been touched and it works perfect

I guess what you could do is buy just the coil and replace the broken coil and then you would have a spare. But then you would have junk laying around the house... 😆 Plus what if you put it back together and one of the other sensors weren't working... 🤔 Never mind 🤣 Anyway thanks for a very thorough & concise illustration video.

👍👍👍

I replaced this but my assembly came prewired so I just had to reinstall the red and blue but they were in different locations. Is that an issue? Also how hot should the outside of the dryer get on the side by the element down low.

Could you send this video to my corporate workplace. They won’t let me fix the dryer in my own. Hehe. No dry towels at a grooming salon is a bad day.

You make it look so easy...however, not the case. Right no fighting to get element slid in...that back screw on pedestal not a joke either 🤔🤔. The bottom metal in razor sharp..cut my arms up trying to remove screw😂😂🤣🤣😂

Anyone know the oem part number for this assembly?

Any advice on the wires where the red and blue wires are to get them off? It’s like mines are super stuck! It could be because I haven’t been done there in 7 years so I did have a lot of link. But now I’m sitting on the floor refusing to give up because these tuff wires! 😅

Did your part hold up I read a few negative comments on the Amazon part?

Can someone post the link I cannot find it

My question is, why dos the replacement part seem to come wth wires attached already?

Let me know when the Manfrotto update is done!!

Was this a gradual loss of heat? Mine seemed to just stop heating all of a sudden. Trying to figure out what the issues are prior to replacing the element. Dried a load fine and then the next load no heat.

At the risk of sounding stupid, is my dryer, supposed to get very hot on the side that the heating element is on?
