So happy that my husband and I could do this repair so easily. After reading the comments below we made sure we got the original Samsung assembly - it went in like a breeze. The above video is great at showing how each part comes out and goes back in. Thank you, thank you.
Like so many others have said, much better and easier process of taking the element housing out. Having to mess with the tensioner and the drum plus having to take the front framing off seemed absurd. It's just asking for more trouble with reassembly. This method? What a time saver. Took me 30 minutes, and that's for replacing the actual element, not just switching out the whole housing. Thanks!
I would not consider myself a handyman, but I can do basic stuff. This was a very clear and straightforward video which made the repair easy. The hardest part by far was getting the bracket back into place 😂 Thanks for the video
Man this was the best and most direct approach to this. I’ve used this video to replace mine today. I had individual components just because that’s the only way I could find it. Thanks!! One hour is all it took.
This video I used to fix the dryer myself 2 times. Excellent. DYI. Make sure the element wires are on right so they don't shake off later. Took maybe 30 mins. Thank you.
Flawless instructions with the right amount of caution and guidance. I think that the hardest part of the install is checking if/how the back of the assembly is seated in the duct. It’s difficult to tell (there are no tabs, other than the two half-moons … which were only partly helpful) whether the duct is firmly seated. I turned on the video camera on my phone and slowly walked the camera around the duct to check. 🤞🏼 This is a mfr feature, not an omission from the video.
Thank you so much for posting this easy to follow video! I am a female in my late 50's. I ordered the part and with the help of a friend to move the dryer, we worked together and were able to replace the assembly with no issues in about 30 minutes! I had watched a number of videos that made the process much more complicated, this was the best and most informative. So glad I found it before trying the other methods. You have a new subscriber! Who knows what might flake out next! 😊
i know im asking randomly but does any of you know a method to log back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly forgot the login password. I love any help you can offer me.
@Ty Diego i really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and Im in the hacking process atm. Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Thanks for this! Way easier than removing the drum to access the heater box. I have no experience with dryers and was able to switch out my heater box in 30 minutes and have the dryer working again. The heating element in my old box was a scary sight. After removing the old box both elements had completely broken and disconnected. It's like they build them to break after a certain amount of use 😊
This is a great video, I watched it 7 years ago when I needed to fix my lousy Samsung dryer and it worked great, and here I am again needing to fix another Samsung dryer. I remember when I did it the last time I didn’t properly note the importance of wearing gloves when reaching around in the dryer, the metal edges are sharp in places and I cut myself last time, I’m hoping to be more careful this time.
Top notch instructions. Between the service call and the parts, I probably saved $300 with this simple fix. I found an assembly on Amazon that had all the wires jumpered already so I just had to plug the red and main blue wire in. Pretty simple in the end.
I have replaced the element itself and that was a huge pain. The video I watched before had me removing the drum, along with the top and front panels. It took me about 2 hours to pull everything apart, get the element in and then put it back together. Buying the whole assembly and watching this video, it took no longer than 30 minutes. I am saving this to my favorites for next time!
Your video was the only one to show how easy to remove the element assembly was. I tested all the "switches" on there, (which is easier than trying to test them while assembled) and found the faulty one. Thanks!
First time doing this, my dryer was built in 2014 and first time this has even happened. It blew the heating element January 5 this year. Some of the parts is different on my dryer, for instance, the assembly stand has an extra screw in the back not shown on this video. I had a few extra tabs in the top panel that um. well I had to kinda wrestle it out, it did not come out so easily. I broke a tab, not the end of the world. The good, my dryer wasn't very dusty in there but I'm glad I did it. The bad, that part getting it back in was a nightmare, thankfully I'm bendy and both arms fit in that tiny space! In all 2 hours even with giving it a cleaning. The video was helpful in the general sense, the gotchas were what I had to search other videos for.
Thanks for the video. It help me get my dryer element assembly swapped out in about an hour. I'm going to use the money saved on a technician to swap out the burned out temp sensor on the old assembly and keep it for the next time the assembly fails.
Thank you so much, great explanation, great camera man, very straight forward. I ordered the defected heating element and will replace as soon as it arrives
Thank you Thank you Thank you! Not only did you save my husband and I a couple hundred bucks, we have successfully passed a teamwork communications (impromptu) class. Needless to say, our dryer now heats as if it were brand and new! :)
Nice video, saved me a service call. Thanks for posting. The only tricky part was getting the support bracket and the assembly aligned during installation. Eventually it fell into place.
Awesome video. It took me about 40 mins to replace. Service guy was gonna charge me $300 to include the part. Even though I don't think that was a bad price considering he's making a house call, using his tools, time to replace the part, the cost of the part and drive time back and forth plus his fuel, I still saved over $200. The part was $97. 🤑🤑
Thank you for this easy to follow video, I was able to fix my dryer that is only a year old for $80 instead of the $320 the repair guy quoted me. much appreciated!
Thanks for posting this video! I am a female in my early 40's and I ordered the part and with the help of my partner we replaced the assembly with no issues at all. This is the best video that I had watched.
I did Everything u said and appreciate the video. Just one thing, When I installed my new assembly, the blue wire was on top and the red on bottom, and for the third set (thermal fuse) it was the black one on top and the blue on bottom, which was different from yours, but thats how it already was
On my dryer element the red and blue are reversed (blue on bottom, red on top) on the first connection, and the black wires are both toward the bottom and blue wires toward the top. Also, there are more screws on my holding bracket.
**** TIP **** READ THIS FIRST **** Set the new element next to the old element and move the wires one by one from the old to the new, you don't have to remember anything, and your chances of making a mistake are zero.
What to look for to determine if just the heating element springs need replaced? Will the springs be broken apart 100 percent of the time? Or will a dark burned look also be a sign? Thanks
Would a bad thermistor Cause heating issue?!.. because I’ve replaced the heating element, and both Sensors on the side. And my Samsung dryer is still not heating and giving me an (HE) error code…. Anyway advice would be much appreciated!.
I’ve replaced this piece before but I’m having the hardest time getting the assembly to stay once I put it back in. Yours stood in placed before you put the support bracket in. Mine isn’t. Frustrated as hell right now
Nice presentation, but how did you get rid of the lint before working on the dryer? lol ON my Fkg heat assembly the designer decided to rivet 1 out of 3 safety devices onto the assembly????? It must be Samsung's way to convince you to buy the whole heating assembly rather than 25 cent thermistor. Oh, Radio Shack come back. Thanks tho.
On my original heating element I have three wires not two and the new part came with only two slots and three is my new heating element the wrong part?? Please help me!!
How can I determine which wires go where when you plug them back in.(forgot to take picture) I know on the heating element its red/blue but what I dont know is does it matter if red is on top or bottom?

Tyler Magalei , same here. For the fuse (towards the rear of the dryer), I have black on top instead of blue. Since it’s the fuse though, I’m thinking order doesn’t matter for that component, trying to confirm that now.
UPDATE: My Samsung model had a screw holding down the back tap on the heater assembly support bracket. I had to work from the back and disassemble the exhaust panel/tube running from under the dryer barrel to the rear. It’s pretty tight quarters under there so you will need a stubby phillips head driver.
I have a question. Seems like I have to replace this every few months. When I open it up I see the black wire is just melted. Any idea what may be causing this?
I also want to say that I usually replace the entire assembly and don't mess with the back wire at all. When the dyer stops heating I open it up and notice the black with is completely melted and the connector just falls off the chard wire.
I replaced the thermal fuse, I replaced the dryer thermistor and I replace the heating element assembly. It worked for 2 days. Now, it is back to no heating. Why?
I tested the thermal fuse and found it was faulty. I replaced and the dyer now heats. Now the dryer runs for about 10min and then the display reads END. What could this be???
Could be a few things, without knowing what you have, I would suggest posting the problem along with the appliance model number on our repair forum and the techs can help you troubleshoot the problem. forum.appliancepartspros.com/
I have replaced three of these in 9 years and I will NEVER buy a Samsung again! While it is a relatively simple procedure, this reliability is the worst.

Thank you for the clearest how-to video I have ever seen. This gave me the confidence to change the heating element myself.

Wish I would have seen this video first...he is alot more professional and removes less parts when doing the job. Wow.
Top notch instructions. Between the service call and the parts, I probably saved $300 with this simple fix. I found an assembly on Amazon that had all the wires jumpered already so I just had to plug the red and main blue wire in. Pretty simple in the end.
I used this video to replace my heating element.. hubby wanted to purchase a new one.. I saw. NO! I will fix it and I fixed it today. Thank you!

Thanks! I thought the connectors were welded in place until I saw your instruction for prying them off with a flat head screwdriver. Worked perfectly!
This is so nice to have, I'm on my second heating element change and had this video saved. Thank you!!

Last time I went through the back. I've seen videos where you take out the drum. This method is great. Thanks.
Fantastic. Thank you for your easy explanation on how to do everything step by step.
Nice video, saved me a service call. Thanks for posting. The only tricky part was getting the support bracket and the assembly aligned during installation. Eventually it fell into place.
Glad the video helped you get the dryer fixed!
Great video, I took a small cover off on the back door f the dryer so I could get the heating assembly lined up in the vent.
Awesome video. It took me about 40 mins to replace. Service guy was gonna charge me $300 to include the part.

Glad we could help you with your repair!
This was spot on. Exactly. After the fact…..he wore gloves…..do the same. Perfect
If there is anything we can help you with please let us know.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. At a cost of thirty dollars for the part and a little bit of my times. I got my dryer working agian. Thanks.
Please know on some models there’s 2 extra screws holding the support for the heating element
On my dryer element the red and blue are reversed (blue on bottom, red on top) on the first connection, and the black wires are both toward the bottom and blue wires toward the top.

My wires on current assembly are opposite than what you show here what's the best way to know which way they go?
Emanuel did you figure out which way they go? The last set of black and blue on mine was flipped on the original.

Have you checked the thermostats or the fuse by chance to see if maybe one of those have gone bad?
@@appliancepartspros I know there's a thermal fuse on the heating assembly and it's fine. Where else would that be?

All three screws on heating element bracket are immovable on mine. They won’t budge.

You dont have to replace that whole assembly. If it's the heating element you can open that assembly and just replace the actual heating element.
Our videos are just to help give you a general idea on how to do the repair. Some models you may not be able to replace just the element itself.
I have replaced three of these in 9 years and I will NEVER buy a Samsung again! While it is a relatively simple procedure, this reliability is the worst.
