Make sure to unplug the dryer before servicing!
Samsung Dryers are notorious for failing to start due to the idler pulley blowing up and, many times, taking the belt with it. How can you take apart a Samsung Dryer to get it up and running again? Follow along so you'll learn to fix a Samsung Dryer that won't start. This fix may also solve an issue if your Samsung Dryer won't heat. Interestingly enough, the Samsung dryer pulley and the Samsung heating element are linked.
Additionally, this video works for LG and Kenmore Elite dryers that look similar to this one... I had to work on a few after this video and realized taking them apart is done literally the same. exact. way. Although MAKE SURE you do a proper part-lookup to verify that you have the right components for them (but again, the installations are pretty much the same).

I’m pretty sure this is the best DIY video I’ve ever watched on RU-vid in any segment. The speed of the video is perfect, the detail and angles of the video couldn’t be better. Thank you very much!

@bensappliancesandjunk 2 года назад

Wow, thank you! I try really hard to get good angles of all these repairs. Its NOT EASY because taking something apart w/o obstructing the camera is a really difficult process many times, but comments like yours make it worth it!

@ginapedicone9834 Год назад

Dude I totally agree, it is the best. I dreaded what it was going to say had to be done to replace the belt. Then this guy comes on and makes it look so frickin easy. Dudes a great teacher. Thank you for the video!!! You rock, so I give your video ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ✌️

@turnflip817 11 месяцев назад

What’s the belt model number

@Z50Pimp85 10 месяцев назад

I agree with the above! This is HANDS DOWN the best instructional video I’ve seen in YEARS! DEFINITELY going to search for videos from @bensappliancesandjunk in the future! Keep doing what you’re doing! 👍👍👍

@Z50Pimp85 10 месяцев назад

@@turnflip817 6602-001655. I took a screenshot in the portion of the video where I saw it. HUGE help when scouring google to get the correct part number.

@franktriantos25 2 дня назад

this video was so much better than the last video I watched on samsung dryer repair when my heating element went out. If I would have watched this video back then I would not have worried about this belt replacement. Thanks for walking through it. Great job.

@zangetsu3354 5 месяцев назад

This was a life saver. I had a technician come in to do services on the dryer that came with my house. The drum was rotating but would stall under a load of laundry. Had him come back only to brag about how he's been doing this for 30+ years and that he did it right. Decided to audit his work and it turns out the belt wasn't reinstalled properly onto the motor. Got my dryer to work properly again. Always trust your guts folks! Goes without saying, but GREAT video. Thank you!

@tamarataylor2696 Год назад

Thank you so much for this video. Not only did it include the content we needed to diagnose and fix our dryer, it’s presented really clearly. One of the best DIY videos I have ever seen.

@pccrazy100 Месяц назад

You 100% saved me about $700-$800 dollars. Excellent, step-by-step video. Thank you!!

@user-xn7bc5jd2g Месяц назад

I’ve had to do this repair 3 times. Each time I watch a video. This was the best visit I’ve seen. It saved me at least 30 minutes.

@georgeh8314 2 месяца назад

Thanks so much for your clear instructions that I used to get to the blower ...stuck sock removed and we are back in business!!

@Tony3deee 2 года назад

Great, helpful, video. Matched our dryer perfectly. It’s super handy to know what is expected taking it apart. The job went very fast with some vacuuming dust time added in. It turned out we had a pair of underwear jammed in the fan. In hindsight the wife said she inadvertently ran it for 20 seconds without the lint filter. Thanks very much for the video!!!

@robertferrara106 3 года назад

Thank you so much for this video I watched it daily for two weeks in prep to fix my daughter's dryer. You are an excellent teacher, you encouraged me I could do this. I successfully removed hood, and door but what a surprise when I removed the bulkhead. I found a single sock and a pair of underwear caught up in the fan motor! I cant fathom how they could end up there. Removed the stray items and since the belt seemed to be in perfect condition, we fired it up and it is working like new. Just had to share the experience but most of all thank you for being such a great instructor and sharing your knowledge with people like me.

@bensappliancesandjunk 3 года назад

Oh my! I can't say that I've ever seen those items in there, but it does happen. There's your dryer vent screen in the front of the dryer as soon as you open the door. Its possible the filter wasn't in, and it sucked those items in there during the tumble of the dryer.

@karenpetel6908 2 года назад

You are amazing! I seriously sat down with your video, followed it step by step (thank you for counting out loud how many screws there were and saying things like "remember to latch this and that"). With your help, I realized it was indeed the pulley, ordered the one you suggested, and all in, it took me 40 minutes and $18.95. YOU"RE A ROCKSTAR!!!

@lsmahutchin 8 месяцев назад

You just saved me from having to buy a new dryer! Couldn't find a repair shop that would look at my Samsung and Samsung itself just wanted to sell me a new dryer. With your instructions, I was able to take the dryer apart to find that a sock had been put down inside past the lint filter and had been sucked into and was wedged in the fan. Removed sock = working dryer. Thank you!!!!

@peterglatt4770 6 месяцев назад

I'm really thankful for this. This helped so much with the disassembly. Found the problem, too!!! The plastic tensioner pulley had worn through and was causing intermittent squeaking. The pulley itself was difficult to spin by hand, so I suspect that the bearings are bad. Bought the entire kit to replace things. Might as well, given that she's all opened up. Thank you.

@grumpypoof9648 2 года назад

You just saved us a ton of money. We didn't have this exact problem, but your video on how to take everything apart allowed us to do that and figure it out for ourselves. Ours was screeching LOUD. We greased the rollers and the tension pulley screw was loose. Tightened that. Don't know what was making the screech. All I know is that it's gone. Thank you sir.

@shaynalinkie Год назад

probably the loose pulley, I think mine was loose but by the time I actually got around to taking it apart, the plastic wheel was damaged as though it was loose and not sitting right, it was screeching so loud

@alancarlton6293 3 года назад

Thank you for this video. Unfortunately you’re the first I ever thanked. Thanks to you and the many others who provide “how to” videos, I’ve saved lots of money, learned a lot and just genuinely feel better for accomplishing things on my own. Thanks for being a difference maker!!!

@bensappliancesandjunk 3 года назад

Awww, I'm glad this helped make the difference to help you out!

@69BTony 2 года назад

Very well done. So many youtube videos show the 7th time they have completed things and how easy it is. You displayed a few different ways to do things and some problems that we will likely run into and how to overcome them. Thanks!!

@MrFscotland Год назад

Excellent video! Samsung was trying to charge me $281 just to come out to the house. I followed this video and replaced my belt for $21. Thanks

@mrsmincey9731 Год назад

Thank you. We saw one of your other videos for our washer after it blew open and bought a new one based on your recommendations and now were back watching you about the dryer 🤣🤣 so off to break down the dryer and see what parts we need to order. Your videos are life saving .

@adriancampbell3970 2 года назад

Thank you so so so much. We don’t have the money to hire anyone, but couldn’t find any videos that helped us with our specific dryer we have. This one still wasn’t our exact dryer, but it was the one and only video that helped us and now our dryer works. YAYYYYY!!! 🙏🏼

@fericyde Год назад

You saved me a ton of time and money and did a great job showing the mechanical side of this problem. Kudos!

@bmt8880 2 года назад

My Samsung dryer made loud noises. Came to you tube and found this video on how to disassemble. My belt tensioner wheel ate the bearing. With this video it help me out get this changed in 30 min. Thank you…

@mketchup26 Год назад

Thanks for this very helpful video. It was able to take my dryer apart and find that the spring had come off. Didn't even have to replace the pulley as I had fully expected. Great to have an early view of what I was to find when I started taking things apart. The advice on removing the top was particularly helpful.

@TheBuckeyeDad 2 года назад

Fantastic video...appreciate not only what to do to take it apart, but details on how to put back together, including tips to avoid possible mistakes.

@dreamfighter3254 6 месяцев назад

Thank you so much, this worked perfectly for me. I couldn't get the new belt on even after stretching it so I inspected the old belt and found that it was in good shape so I just used that. The hardest part of the entire operation was putting the belt back on, especially since I have never done this before. Thanks again this was really helpful. Send a couple $ your way.

@jamesd.9955 Год назад

Thanks guys. You saved me $250, minimum. My only problem was one of the motor retaining clips was not secure after assembly. Besides that, everything was pretty straight forward. Thanks again.

@laurefeld8340 Год назад

You are MY HERO! Christmas Day 2022 and NO DRYER...... Looks like I'm loaded up with lint and it blew out my idler roller. you just saved me a BUNCH OF MOOLA AND a lot of time.

@Doomscrolled 6 месяцев назад

Story time: I went to add clothes to the dyer, as usual went to clean the lint. It was my day off so I decided to clean the inside part of the lint filter holder, it seems it was never in 5 years cleaned. Go through a bunch but needed a flashlight. So I propped my cell up so the light goes right down and wouldnt you know it, my phone goes right down too. My 5 minute project turned into a 30 minute one, This man save me so much time. Thank you Ben. Thank you

@bikemtn 2 года назад

Thanks, was able to replace the belt, tension pulley, spring,, and 4 other pulley that came with the kit, samsung dryers are so fragile, it is nice they make parts for it, glad you made this video, I guess the other pulley just went bad and it broke apart and the belt came off, I also used a vacuum to clean the motor and all around the bottom surface, again, great video, it helped a lot

@mcvigs4186 7 месяцев назад

Up and running again. Thanks for this great video! One tip is to hook the spring prior to screwing the pulley arm in. It’s much easier to get the spring in the right orientation. Thanks!👍🏼

@mikedonnelly936 2 года назад

Thanks for the detailed video. The hardest part for me was putting the belt back on the pulley. Your tip to stretch the new belt did the trick.

@bensappliancesandjunk 2 года назад

I've done a few of these, and only recently have the belts need stretched. Not too happy on that one, because virtually every other brand come pre-streched, or at least never have this horrible problem.

@jdpete200 Год назад

@arnoldogonzalezjr8658 9 месяцев назад

Thank you for the video the repair went great! I do have a few questions, I continue to hear a rattle like it did before the idler pulley broke and I also smell burning. I know there was a lot of black looking stuff all over the motor and around it (assuming from the old pulley busting and breaking). Is there something else that could be going on? Is the smell just from what was left behind? Will the rattling stop? I replaced the belt, idler pulley and spring.

Any idea what they are called, would you know the part number? No one knows what I'm talking about when I try to explain to them what I need. Can you help me out?

Watched this video and had my dryer fixed in 30 minutes. Took the dryer apart expecting the worst and ended up being the screw that holds the idler pulley on had loosened right off. Screwed it back on, re installed the belt. Put it all back together and had an error code. I forgot to plug back in the door sensor wire. Took it apart and plugged in the sensor. Put it back together and hit play. To my wife's amazement it started up and was met with a smile. Thank you.
