Samsung Dryer Heater Element Replacement - Model DV40J3000EW/A2 (SEE DESCRIPTION FOR MISSING STEP)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лип 2018
- 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.

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.
I wish I would have read you post before attempting to use his "step by step" instructions. Extra 20-30 mins doing a WTF yank.
Ran into the same issue! Thanx
I think you may have removed the wrong 3 screws. There are two rows of three up top.
Sorry, I was wrong. In progress!
Good to know about complete housing change out. Would be much easier! worth 2 times the money.
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.
Same here! No way I’m paying 400 plus to fix my dryer.
Jeff this instruction vedieo is great. I and my wife did the replacement within 2.456 hours, hehehee. But it now works. You saved us a lot of money by not hiring a mechanic. We will be watching out for more of your video's.
Really nicely done! No annoying music, filler conversation, shaking camera, and just to the point. Wish everyone could do 'em like this! Thank you, DIY Jeff!
@Anthony Behrends, this is the way I make my videos now because personally, I can't stand trying to find information about something and having to wade through multiple videos and wasting so much time just trying to find what I'm looking for. So much rambling and terrible camera work. Thanks for the shoutout and for watching the video!
@@DIYJeff When I come in search for "how to" videos, I have little interest in people telling me where to find this or that; I know how to look through search engines and the like. I just want to see what I need to do, that's all. You understand this!
Just wanted to express my gratitude for this video and the Amazon link to the right part! Three to four hours and $27 later, this stay at home mom has her dryer running again!
Thanks again!
@Zulfiya Stokes, it’s success stories like yours that inspires me to make videos like this. If you can do a repair like this it builds confidence to do other DIY projects that can save you $$$
Thank you for the video! Pretty straight forward. By far, the hardest part for me, is unscrewing and screwing back in, the two screws in the back for the mounting bracket. Holy cow.
Yes, those were definitely a challenge.
I don't think those back two are going back in. Pointless.
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 UA-camrs, 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.
Holy cow! I did it. Thank you so much! The repairman quoted me almost $500 to fix this. I fixed it for $35 with your help. You rock!
DonkeysRevenge, you're welcome. I'm glad you were able to do it yourself!
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 UA-cam experts!!!!!
Sharon Warren , you’re welcome. I’m glad you were able to save money!!! I also like the accomplishment of completing a job myself.
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.
Thank you for sharing this. My wife was determined to buy a new dryer for 300 plus dollars. I was able to convince her to let me check the heating coil first after showing her this video. The link for the heating element was a great help! Thank you again. 300 bucks just turned into 20 buck!
xB Marley , that’s awesome! I’m glad it was able to save you $280!
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.
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!
thank you so much! your video helped! i bought just the heating element from your video but in the process of replacing I broke one of the components so i bought the heating assembly from your link got it installed and everything works perfect . cost me around 70 dollars but saved me around 400 i appreciate it!
@Terry S, I'm so glad you were able to do it. I made the video to help people save money and I have had overwhelming feedback that it's done just that.
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.
K&k productions, yes, that's true. I can't go back and edit the video now, but if viewers read through the comments they'll see your comment. I appreciate you making the suggestion.
Thank God for the comments. I wasted 10 minutes trying to pull the front off
Robbie Lester yeah i had to check for myself too 😂
Thank you for this comment lol. Pure frustrations trying to pull the door off...feel stupid now
...only 10? Lol. I wish I had only spent 10
Cody Clark 😂
Where’s the comment to help I’m stuck right now on the front
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!!
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.
I'm not finding the extra screw in order to take the door off:(
This was the easiest and best video to follow. Beside the 3 screws on the front of the door. All in all. Very well explained both breaking down the parts and putting back together.
Thanks, I’m glad it was helpful.
I couldn't have done this without your video! Thank you very much. Instead of an hour, it took me 4 hours. The heater thing gave me problems. So I asked my neighbor to help me with that. I am Woman! Hear me Roar! lol
@Cheryl Williams, but you did it and should feel proud of that.
I’m so glad I read the comments because I had to remove additional screws just to take the door off.. be aware it’s pretty Lentie inside - it took me abt 3hrs- I did a deep cleaning and I needed to find a small Phillips screwdriver to removed the bracket- im so happy I found this video of the exact dryer I had- other videos way to complicated- my dryer is back up & heating .. lol- definitely saved myself $300 bucks- we have covid & air drying washed clothes and not feeling well it was a $hitshow - glad my dryer working and I survived the 3hrs… Thank You again
@Cele T, I’m glad you were able to get the job done.
Thanks, Jeff! Your video saved me some money by allowing me to do my own repairs. My dryer had an extra screw retaining the heating coil assembly to the bracket. I would also suggest that anyone wanting to do this to watch the video first and to use your camera to photograph the wiring.
Tim, Kilgore, thanks for the comment and the tip!
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
Jeff you just saved my life buddy! Awesome video still helping folks after 2 yrs!! Go buddy. Keep em coming
@Christopher Clark, thanks for the comment. Glad it was helpful for you.
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.
Jeff, you were incredible as I did everything you said and found the product on Amazon (replacing all those parts) saving me tons of time and frustration. So grateful to you. Seriously 5 Stars!!!!
@Brian Kaskie, you're welcom!
Saved over $500 by watching your video. I was going to get this dryer, not anymore. I'll fix my old dryer instead. Thanks Jeff
And screw the haters that gave you thumbs down they probably do this for a living and RIP people off charging hundreds of dollars for a basic DIY level stuff.
Enri Que, that's awesome! Thanks for sharing your savings.
Mr diy Jeff your missing a few screws that you 100% need to take out before that cover will even think about releasing. There’s 2 on inside of door that attaches to lint trap and one on top in middle .
Fixed the dryer myself thanks to this video super easy fix. Bought parts from the links provided and replaced all three all at one for under $30. The back screws you can't see are lots of fun to get to. Make sure you have a stubby Phillips screw driver for this repair.
This is why I made the video. To help all of us save $$$ in repair bills or filling landfills by throwing away something that can be fixed.
@@DIYJeff THANKS 👍
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...
@Davin Greenly, I'm glad you were able to get it fixed!
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)! If ever in need of maintenance or repairs again, we'll check with you first! Thanks!!
Colleen Sine, that's great news! Hopefully it will give you the confidence to take on another challenge in the future. UA-cam has a wealth of DIY knowledge, all at your fingertips!
Thank you Jeff for the video! I was about to drop $300 on another dryer. The heating element cost me $30 brand new. Dryer works great and i'm fortunate to have the exact same dryer. To add to the video and previous comments, there are 2 screws behind the door that needs to be taken out. Thanks again!!
@Spending Maple, you’re welcome. I’m glad you were able to fix it.
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.
@Mo Bot, I’m glad you were able to tackle the job!
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.
$20 fix on my 5 year old dryer thanks to this video. Thank you Jeff!!
@Chris M, you're welcome!
Great video I bought the part for $17 on Amazon followed the instructions and saved myself a lot of money. Thank you
@Chris Merrell, that's awesome! I'm glad you were able to get it fixed.
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.
This video was awesome! The three screws were the only hiccup I encountered. Can’t believe I did it with my wife and daughter assisting!
@Joe Bruno, that’s awesome!
Thank you for the great video and instructions. My husband and I replaced it today and it took about an hour and works fine now. Thanks again for your time making this video. Saved us so much $$$
@Brittany McMahan, you're welcome! I'm glad you were able to get it fixed.
Great video, bought the kit linked off Amazon in the description. Saved me hundreds of dollars for a simple fix. My only recommendation to people is pay attention to the wiring cause it can get tricky
Yeah I busted one of the spade connectors...the really difficult-to-find 5/16" inch one... -_-
This is the gift that keeps on giving...some sarcasm included.
Perfect video about how to repair this...thing, too many exist with this faulty feature.
I have helped six people and recommended this video to others, advice goes to
buying some other machine....parts are affordable WITH some shopping around.
@The Unknown Gamer, dryer heating elements are one of the most common parts to fail because there are many factors that could cause it. Blown fuse, faulty thermostat, or clogged vent.
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!
Omg the replacement heater went bad yesterday. Well I got 3 yrs out of it lol. I'm rewatching the video again for another time. Thanks again!
Glad it helped
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.
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.
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!!
@Andy Underwood, you're welcome
!
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.
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.
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!
This video was amazing and helped me get my dryer fixed. It turned out the heating element was bad, but I don't know if it was caused by the thermostat or not. So, after reading the comments, I just replaced that while I was there. Thank you!
Skye Skye, yes, replacing the thermostat while you're in there is a good idea since you already have it apart and it doesn't require any additional labor. Plus the part is cheap!
This helped me a lot
Thanks Jeff I fixed my dryer and it's hotter than ever . I truly appreciate the thumbnail for the 6 wires. It was very easy the heating element had a break I replaced all components so glad I did. 😊
@Shen Paschal, that is awesome! And you did it! think of all the other things you'll be able to fix now from the confidence of replacing your own heating element. I know most men won't even tackle the project.
You sir, have saved me a nice chunk of change. My heating element coil was broken exactly as you described. Thank you very much!
@Joshua Quillin, you're welcome. I'm glad the video was helpful.
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
Thank you so much sir. My biggest worry was the wires going in the right place on the element & thermostat but I turned it on & it seems to be heating now. This video saved me a ton of money on a repair man & or new dryer. And the element was only $26 & change on Amazon & that includes shipping. Again thank you so much this video was a God send for a poor check to check family like mine
@chetmaxwell3896, that’s so good to hear. I’m glad you found the video helpful and saved some$$$.
Thank you for your informative repair guide. I'm a terrible dyi guy but this video made it doable. You saved us hundreds of dollars in repairs. Thanks again!
@sparkyinfla, you’re welcome. I’m glad it was helpful.
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!
@@DIYJeff I need the connector pattern! I forgot the order
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😊
I’m glad the video was helpful for you!
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.
@Jon Eschberger, awesome! Yes, those screws on the back are definitely a bear to get out but doable with patience.
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.
I had this exact problem and was able to fix it thanks to this video! The link to amazon for the part was clutch!
Stephen Hudak Jr., I'm glad the video was helpful for you. And you can't beat the price on the part for a DIY project.
You do not know how grateful I am right now!
Thank you so much for saving me hundreds of dollars.
Cristian Martinez , you’re welcome. Have you done the repair yet?
@@DIYJeff Yes I have. Took me probably an hour or so to complete. Works like new. Thank you again.
This is the best video for this compared to others I watched. This saved me about 45 minutes or more. Thank you!
Wowww 3 years have past and I’m back again about to replace it again. Great video! Very helpful!!!
Im sorry to hear the element didn’t last. I’d suggest replacing the thermostat too if you haven’t.
@@DIYJeff well I replaced it before getting this about the thermostat. I’ll be back to this page the next time I replaced the element. Very grateful for this video!
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.
@Dave Mac, glad you were able to get your dryer up an running again!
Thank you for the video. I replaced mine yesterday. Overall went very smooth thanks to you!
Chad Hunter, that's great! Glad it was useful to you.
Thank you for this video. Was easy to find on YT and specific to my model. Very helpful!
En Vivo, you're welcome. I'm glad you found it helpful.
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.
@ryan sherman, you're right about the sheet metal!
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...
HEY JEFF..YES IT WORKS FINE NOW..thank u sooooooooooo much for your video..any woman can do this!! Great instructions..works like a charm..ty for everything and sharing such great learning videos..it helps so many of us in need!!! SAMSUNG DRYING NOW!! :) :) :)
@gail, you're welcome!
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 😁😁
This video saved us over $400. Tech came and quoted $400 with the replacement part. I understand it’s not the easiest repair but that seems a little steep to me 🤷🏼♂️
@Josh Hegwood, I’m glad you were able to follow the steps in the video and save a considerable amount of money.
Jeff this is an absolutely standing video for this repair. Thank you.
doug peters, glad you found it useful!
i was going to buy this dryers, but after watching this, I changed my mind...thanks
Is there a better dryer...still working on this one, two problems in the last month.
If not for this video, the loan shark and a dryer a week later would be entertaining.
Yes avoid this one at all cost this is the third damn time I’m having to tear it apart and work on it. Ridiculous lol thought Samsung was better built than this
@@laynelandon3701 . Samsung appliances suck. As one guy said, "Samsung should keep to making phones".
Thank you so much for your video. I was able to order the heating element for my samsung dryer. With your video I was able to disassemble, clean, and reassemble my dryer with little effort. Probably would have spent close to what I paid for the dryer if I had someone come to repair it. Thanks again hope I can pay it forward.
@Jameson Conde, you're welcome. I'm glad you were able to get it fixed!
Thank you so much sir. This video saved me a bunch of money. $23 for the kit. In and out in less than 1 hour. Lucky I read the comments about the 3 front screws. I would have broken something. Lol. Keep up doing theses awesome videos. A+
@Hector Perez, awesome! Glad you were able to get it fixed!
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.
Thank you for the video. I was able to change my dryer element on my own and saved a couple hundred bucks.
@JohnSmith-ys4nl, you’re welcome. I love it when people can save money and feel a sense of accomplishment when they are able to do a project they’ve never done before.
Had to unscrew some screws for door to come off but otherwise this was amazing! Thanks for the help, changed it out and it heats again! My element was black but it wasnt broken that I could see visually. Changed out and solved my issue!
Sorry about the screws…but glad you were able to get it fixed!
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.
Excellent video. Saved me buying a new dryer. The coils were broken just as you showed in the vid. J Burgess thanks for the tip about the screws. I tugged on the front of the dryer a few times before I remembered what you said 😀.
Excellent video! It is not necessary to take off the screws in the back on this model. Simply pry up the lid from the front in one swift movement while holding down the lower part of the dryer with your foot. Also, if you take off the front bulkhead (4 screws), you don't need to take off the bottom bracket that holds up the heating element. I used a cheap Hook & Pick Set to line up all the holes on the heater assembly. It's a good idea to take apart as much as you can in order to vacuum out all of the lint. Use a multimeter to test the sensors, no resistance/continuity = good.
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.
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.
Big Thanks Jeff, 40 bucks about an hrs work, saved me a lot of money, had to work out the 3 screws at the front but all good great video.
Thank you sir for your video guide! Even though, you miss those 3 screws part which had me struggling for like 10 mins then I realized that were screws holding them back lol. I should had read the comments earlier 😅
Thanks 🙏🏾 this videos was a great help. I also had the 3 extra screws. Very detailed video!
Jimmy Cash, I'm glad you found it helpful. Thanks for the comment!
Awesome vid. I have a different model Samsung (DV42H5400EW/A3) but by following your vid I was able to swap out the heating element tonight and my clothes are now drying once again. Thanks much!
@Pat O'Conner, you're welcome. I'm glad you were able to do the job yourself.
thank you so much never done any work with a dryer and this was very simple step by step video.
greatness ramirez, thanks for the kind words. I hope it helped if you had to replace your heating element.
Just installed the element and dryer is working now! Thank you sooo much! I have the same dryer but had three extra screws than in your video and then one extra on the bottom bracket below element. But it was easy going thru your step by step video!! Thank you so much!!
envirobug, others have shared that they also had 3 screws that I missed. I apologize. I must have somehow missed videoing it. I'm glad you were able to get the dryer working though.
Was your heater coil broken?
@@alexanderlong2135 yes, when I took the original part out I saw a tiny place where the coil wire was broken (same idea as when the filament of a lightbulb is broken and is considered blown).
envirobug , which is just like what happened to the one in my video. I’m finding it’s a common problem in Samsung dryers.
@@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.
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
@Neill Southwick, glad the video was helpful.
Great video. I have had to replace this part twice and both times this video was my guide. Thank you kindly.
You're welcome!
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
@Milan Koprivica, you’re welcome. I’m glad you were able to get the job done.
Me and my wife just changed the heat element in our Samsung dryer. Thanks for the video it was very helpful.
@Kevin Greene, you're welcome. I'm glad you were able to get it fixed.
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
Harry Edmonds, I'm glad the video was helpful for you and that it's back up and running? If it happens again, you'll be able to change it out in no time at all?
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.
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.
You do such a great job on your videos, very easy to follow!
David Martindale, thank you for the kind words. I try to make videos that are to the point, but detailed so anyone can follow.
@@DIYJeff is there some trick to get the housing to seat in the back?? I'm struggling.
Thanks for this video! I was super thankful I found one with the same model as my dryer.
@Fablemaser12, I'm glad it was helpful for you.
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.
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.
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.
Really good movie, besides the three screws from the front, the whole video is very well done and self explanatory, thank you so much !!! helped me a lot.
@Helio Queiroz, thanks for the compliment. And sorry about the 3 screws not being included in the video.
I was able to fix my own dryer because of this video!!! Thank you!!
@sheisel1, you're welcome. I'm glad you were able to get it working again.
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.
Thanks so much, Jeff. You guided me through repairing my Samsung dryer. Great video. God bless!
@ClintBoland, that’s great to hear! I’m glad the video was helpful.
That's real smart. "Oh you may want to remember the order that you took them off in". Thanks for saying that after the fact. And also you could've just shown a complete view of the wiring back intact for a reference.
@jer H, sorry you didn't enjoy the video. Hopefully you were able to find one that serviced your needs.
Here to help future people!
On the first one that goes in the dryer first when reinstalling: bottom is blue, Top black.
Next one on the middle: bottom black, top blue
Last one that is closest to you: bottom red, top blue
@@daniellegrogan6924 I hope you are right. I hooked them up to your instructions
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?
@tnwncsu2010, a squealing sound is most likely the belt. It may be loose and need tightened or replaced altogether.
Thank you so much. This saved us hundreds of dollars and really empowered us to fix this on our own
