AT 3:15 OF THE VIDEO A STEP IS MISSING. THERE ARE 3 SCREWS ON THE FACE OF THE DRYER THAT MUST BE REMOVED BEFORE PERFORMING THE STEP AT 3:15. OPEN THE DRYER DOOR. THERE IS ONE ON THE TOP AND TWO ON THE BOTTOM.
This video is applicable to most all dryers as the steps are very similar, especially for Samsung’s. To demonstrate, I am replacing the heater element on a Samsung DV40J3000EW/A2. I give step by step instructions on the easiest and most inexpensive way to fix a blown heating element. Below is a link where I found the cheapest price for the heating element.

If you're in need of a thermostat or high limit fuse you can find them here:

Fuse - amzn.to/2NdciV8
Or here is a link where you can find the heating element, high limit fuse, and thermostat all together for much less

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.

@shirleyjackson9367 3 года назад

Thank you so much for making this video. So easy to follow! Even a lady with a few hand tools can replace the element thanks to You. You just saved our family a whopping. $439. 00 I called a repair service to fix it , but the amount that they wanted to charge to replace the element could have almost bought us a new dryer. We are just an average family living check to check. People like you are inspirational and empowering at the same time. You are a wonderful teacher!

@shirley jackson, that's awesome you were able to fix it. It's exactly why I made the video. To show that some tasks that seem too difficult are able to be done. Just take it one step at a time. Hopefully it will help build confidence for the next time you need to repair something in your house.

@jackturner2931 Месяц назад

Great video! Just echoing what so many have posted. FWIW, I unscrewed the green ground wire near the front during disassembly. This allowed me to more easily remove the wires connected to the element. I was able to pull element housing all the way out, and then disconnect wires.

@gunnyoorah1846 3 месяца назад

@lorimireles3600 Год назад

Thank you Jeff for your video. I am a retired woman of almost 69. My family’s dryer went out I seen other videos of other RU-vidrs, but yours was the best very helpful. The only thing is I have problems getting the screws out. Some of them were too tight, but I managed to have somebody help me with that and we put the dryer back together and it works just fine the way you instructed. Thank you very much.

@angelathompson5041 Год назад

We used this video to repair our 2 year old Samsung dryer. Ordered a heating element, thermostat and fuse kit on Amazon for $39. The video was extremely helpful. It took my husband, who has never replaced a heating element before, about 30 minutes. We looked at several videos, to get different tips and voila... saved ourselves probably $300. Invaluable info. Thank all of you RU-vid experts!!!!!

@dwillslady69 Год назад

Thank you so much for a great video! Me and my 14 yr old son was able to do this alone. One thing I wanted to mention, there is a screw connecting the door to the drum that needs to come out in order to remove the door that wasn't mentioned. ALSO pay attention to the connectors before you remove them, you mentioned this after the step and we took them out and had to guess which way to put them back. Thank God it worked!!

@michaelbaughman8524 Год назад

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.

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.

@kkproductions2097 4 года назад

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.

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.

@DIYJeff 5 лет назад

Angela Swanson, thanks for sharing your experience with everyone. I'm glad you were able to do the repair with the video. When I replaced my heating element all the screws all lined up so I guess it depends on the aftermarket manufacturer. Great job!

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.

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.

@DIYJeff 4 года назад

@ryan sherman, you're right about the sheet metal!

@EarthShift-tr5ur 4 года назад

Lol - yes my hubby cut his hand... and he’s a welder 🙄 works with sheet metal all the time...he said the edges are not finished properly...

@Jeff_Seely 2 года назад

Thanks Jeff and I am Jeff also😀! Yup , you have the easiest way to do this task. The rearward repair is a rearward pain! I found your procedure to be the painless route and thanks for the link. Hint: If you have a large family with many cycles to do daily, look for another dryer. This one is not that "maintenance-free". Hint #2: if youve bought one of these and are in for the long haul, you can buy these in packs of three.

@GoBlueGreg, that’s awesome! I’m glad the video was helpful.

@jeffellison8996 5 лет назад

Thanks Jeff. Great tutorial! One thing that folks should be aware of. As with any new heating element, you will probably notice a slight burning smell the first time you start the dryer back up. This should normally go away after the first few minutes of use.

Jeff Ellison, thanks for posting your comment. Great insight and true!

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.

@Helio Queiroz, thanks for the compliment. And sorry about the 3 screws not being included in the video.

@davewilliamson8009 5 лет назад

Nice work, and thank you. I’m not the handyman type, but you gave clear instructions and my dryer is now working again. Great success.

@DIYJeff 5 лет назад

Dave Williamson, I'm glad you were able to get the job done yourself. Not only is it a way to save money but a great feeling of accomplishment as well.

@neillsouthwick8444 3 года назад

Wow, what a fantastic video. I just happen to have this exact dryer. Picked it up for FREE because the owners just wanted it gone. I sure prefer Whirlpool dryers to this Samsung. Coil replacement is much easier on them. I would have figured it out but your video will make the task a lot easier. Cheers, Neill

@muzikman789 3 года назад

Thanks this was helpful. Those 3 screws got me scratchthing my head 'til I read your note. I found it easier to remove the drum. Don't have to mess with the cumbersome bracket at all. I had to replace 2 rollers in the past so I wanted to give them a litttle grease anyways.

@Trini_RudeBoi Год назад

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

@milankoprivica5779 2 года назад

Thanks for the instructional video it helped I was able to follow and replace the entire heating element I found for dirt cheap. Although getting back in and lining it up with the rear port hole was a hassle. All of it was a bit of a hassle but glad for your video to guide me through. Thanks

@davemac5157 4 года назад

Nice work. Everything went as you explained. My coil was burnt out in the same spot. You weren't kidding about those 6 wire connectors. They were tough. A word of caution to my fellow repair novices before you start. There are some sharp edges underneath. Prepare for it to get bloody.

@DIYJeff 4 года назад

@Dave Mac, glad you were able to get your dryer up an running again!

@laosboyr 2 года назад

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!

A LIFESAVER!!!! Saved us hundreds of dollars!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!! Only issue is now it squeals a little when it's turned on... Any suggestions?

@DIYJeff 3 года назад

@tnwncsu2010, a squealing sound is most likely the belt. It may be loose and need tightened or replaced altogether.

@andyunderwood8376 4 года назад

I really appreciate this video. My first washer and dryer and it’s lasted almost 5 years without ANY issues. Heating element went out and I was sure it was going to be a pain to fix BUT, this video was the easiest to follow and made it a breeze to switch out. Huge Thank you!!

@DIYJeff 4 года назад

@Andy Underwood, you're welcome !

@arcadeslum5882 4 года назад

this was my exact situation as well but buyer beware, the amazon replacement element only lasted me 13 months before breaking again. I may consider replacing samsung with an american brand machine if it breaks again.

@DIYJeff 4 года назад

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.

@Sapperlite 4 года назад

@joneschberger1290 4 года назад

Great video...I was able to complete the replacement of the heating element just as you showed in the video. Those 2 screws on the back of the lower bracket were a little tough to get loosened at first but was able to get it done. Now everything is reconnected and the dryer is working as expected.

@DIYJeff 4 года назад

@Jon Eschberger, awesome! Yes, those screws on the back are definitely a bear to get out but doable with patience.

@dibsolives 2 года назад

I got lucky mine has tabs instead of screws. I did remove the screw at the back of the dryer where the lint duct is and it gives you more space to reach the screws if yours has them.
