HOW TO REMOVE & CLEAN SAMSUNG CLOTHES DRYER VENT : JRBVIDS

- This video shows how to remove and clean the dryer vent assembly of the Samsung Clothes Dryer model DV400EWHDWR. Recorded by JRBVIDS we did this Samsung clothes dryer maintenance video because existing videos were not for this particular model or were not found.
[ ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE POWER FROM THE DRYER BEFORE DOING ANY FORM OF CLEANING OR MAINTENANCE ]
This how-to involves removing the front panel of the dyer unit to access screws that allow the removal of the dryer vent assembly so that you can clean it out properly.
Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver and pliers. A flashlight will be handy. A vacuum cleaner with small crevice tools. If you drop a screw, because it happens as you will see, a magnet on a stick may prove useful. Be sure to bring patience. It's not a hard job at all, just takes a little time but well worth it to make sure your dryer dries clothes effectively.
PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK. This is a self-help documentary. You assume all responsibility for your own actions.
Very well produced video. If I'd known beforehand the effort involved for a simple cleaning task, I never would have bought this machine.
Thank you for this! As a spouse with a deployed husband, this was very helpful for me!
Wow! My Samsung drier stopped working suddenly. It happened when I had the gas company come out and check for high gas use. Perhaps it was coincidental..I don't know yet. I Was looking at spending about $900 for a new one. I am now confident I can attempt my own repair and I will do that. No resolution but a huge increase in confidence to begin. I just repaired a refrigerator freezer following a video much like this. Had an expensive microwave fail a month ago. Need to do what I can to keep the costs under control. I will post again after I take a shot at his. Really appreciate how professionally done this video is.
😄
Thank you sir! I got a butter knife stuck and your tutorial not only helped me get the knife but also clean it up:)
Thank you so much. Found my wedding ring because of your video. Much appreciated!
Oh, that's a blessing! So thankful to help with that. :)
Thank you for this video. My husband and I fixed our dryer by removing the front panel and cleaning like you have done. Very helpful!
No choice. We have to do it. No other way around it. So much work for such a small task.
I just did it today I love it ❤ God bless you my brother.
Thank you very much for this video. It came really handy today when we opened our Samsung dryer after we smelled something burning. We found lots of burnt dog hair that accumulated over the years. After careful cleaning and vacuuming inside the dyer, it works good again and no burnt smell.
I want to thank you for making this video. My dryer was 2 weeks after the one year warranty expired and being on the phone with Samsung was just awful. I used your video and it helped me get the dryer working again. I want to thank you. You saved me from having to buy another dryer or spending several hundred dollars to a repair man. Thank you, thank you!
Finally another dryer without screws on the back of the filter housing. Every other toutorial shows a filter housing with screws on the back but mine are on the front and your video showed me exactly what i needed! Thank you!
Huge props. My son left the dryer vent off and sock got stuck-followed this video and didn’t take me much time to retrieve the sock, back up and running
You saved me from calling maintenance! I googled everywhere and you are still the only video I could find that will help. Wish me luck. I going to try this tomorrow.
Thanks Greatly!
Wife put a shirt in the dryer and forgot to install the lint filter. Needless to say the shirt got sucked into the blower wheel. Your video was perfect showing me how to disassemble the dryer to gain access to the blower! Thanks Again Greatly!!!
My model was is the DV45H700WE/AC and my goal was to clean the bottom of the lint trap. The screw in the middle of the trap that you cant see unless your inside the dryer doesn't need to be removed. As another comment mentioned there is a black cover on the bottom that has 4 screws that need to be removed before you can slide the door panel upwards to remove.
This needs to be the top pinned comment !!!
Thank you!!!
Thank you for putting this together. 5 years after posting and you are still helping people!
Thanks for this video, but seriously screw Samsung for making it so hard to clean a fire hazard.
Thank you for this video, we watched it about 4 times, ours was a different model #, and we didn't have to do a couple of your steps,, but we were able to take it apart and put it back together. My wife had tried to use a paper towell to clean some of the lint and it had dropped down to the fan blade, without your video, we wouldn't have had a clue on what to do! Thanks again for your video!
Man, I appreciate this video so much. That little screw in the back of the lint trap had my brain spinning for at least 10min before seeing this video. Thank you. :-D
Perfect step-by-step tutorial! This is exactly what I needed to get the item (plus the magnetic screwdriver that didn't work to get the item) out! Both items are now out of the front vent area of my Samsung dryer, plus I had a good opportunity to clean everything. Thank you, jrbvids!
Thank you for the video. The music was a nice touch to keep my stress level down when things were not perfect.
My son is to thank for the editing and music. Glad it helped.
Thanks for giving me a refresher course on this mine is the Dv45H7000
I changed the sensor several years ago but forget how to get the front panel off
Thank you for this! Helped me take apart our DV48J7700EW/A2 model, after something fell down into the fan!
Thank you, wanted to confirm the order of screws and what ones. This gave me that info.
Spot on! Thank you!!!! This video helped me completely clean out the lint trap to this dryer model without having to pay a premium for a technician.
This video was clutch. Had to remove a small drill bit that got lodged deep inside the vent. You're a godsend. Thank you.
Great video. Mine had two alignment pins on each side of the front panel. So mine would not lift straight up and off. I had to remove the two black spring clips on the top, you were able to leave on. I got it fixed. Sock sucked into the motor as dryer was run with lint trap removed.
Thank you! I would have never guessed to pop the top off! You saved me a good hour!
Thank you for this video! I was trying to figure out how to get my lint trap out to clean/vacuum deeper and ended up taking the whole thing apart and cleaning it!
Thank you so much for making this video! Ive had my dryer for about 5 years and that thing was dirty!!!! Layers upon layers of lint and dust and miscellaneous little items i was able to remove. 😅
Thank you so much!!! Got a BetterVent and now I don't feel like my ancient house is going to burn down. (The guy that lived here before us had the vent hose going halfway across the house, bent, through the crawl space!!!) Now I can get to all parts of the dryer to clean it thoroughly! Thanks again!!
Buddy thanks for the video. My dryer model wasn’t the same as your however you gave plenty of information for me to tackle mine!!! It was a success and it was massively dirty. Thanks again!
Thank you so much for this video I was tired of the filter clogged red light on my dryer, problem solved 😊( I did it myself)
Thank you for the video, helped me get a huge amount of lint out and stop the smoky smell
Thank you for this video it was extremely helpful. My clothes are drying much better and faster as it was a lot of buildup in there in the filter wasn’t going all the way down i’ll try to use the vacuum, but the vacuum doesn’t reach far up in there being able to pull everything out in properly clean it made a huge difference. Thank you.❤
Thank you for this video! My new home came with a Samsung w/d set. I tried to remove the lint trap holder to deep clean it but it wouldn't come out even after removing the 3 interior screws. Now I know the whole front panel and 3 more screws need to be removed. What a PiA! My old LG was not like that. Thank you
This is exactly the video I was looking for. I think I might have a bad thermal sensor. I'm going to try cleaning it out and checking the sensors with a multimeter. Awesome video!
What did you end up doing? My dryer stops and stops. I used this great video to change the moisture sensor plates and it did not help.
This was so easy to follow and helpful. My son dropped his toy car down the lint trap and this saved me from waiting for someone to come out and service it. This gave me the confidence to just go for it myself. I’ll share that I saw a separate tip for removing the top (mine wouldn’t pop off). Used a multi-tool in the crack about 5” from each edge to lift the top just enough for it to pop off of the clips. Also used it to pop the front panel off the small clips on the top. Thanks again for this incredibly helpful public service!
Very useful, was hard to find but thank goodness i did. Only bad part was the front panel was slicing my hand trying to unconnected wiring
Big Thanks
Not exactly my model, but close enough.
I needed to get into mine to check the flame sensor and ignitor. Other videos were for different models that come apart differently. Watched you dive into your's and went and tried it Worked perfectly.
Thanks for posting.
Thank you what was a few day confusion was just a 10 minute fix thanks to you.
Thank you very much!!! I had forgotten to replace the filter and got clothes stuck down in the out vent. But, your video showed me how to remove all the front pieces I needed to! For sure, God gets the credit, but this video was just the ticket.
Thank you for making this video, being pretty handy myself save the headache of not taking every screw out. Very well done video.
Thank you. Your tutorial also works for the DVG 50 R5 5400
Just the video I needed. My Samsung dve52m7750v dryer is newer than the one you cleaned but is styled the same way.
I’m having trouble pulling the front up is there any other steps you had to take to lift the front up?
Thank you for the video. I’ve been wanting to do preventative maintenance and remove excess lint before I needed to call out a repairman. My last dryer died and I want to make this one last a very long time.
Thank you. I had to remove three screws at the bottom (under the black piece) for my front panel to come off but this saved
Me from scrapping it and buying a new one.
Thanks for the tutorial. I found two twisted socks in the turbine which stopped the drum from turning. Thanks again
Thank you for this video. Very similar model to mine & it worked. I did end up taking off the bar where the lid clamps were 🤦🏼♀️ making it much harder for myself & ended up with one extra screw 🤷🏼♀️ no matter where i checked i never found it’s home. I appreciate you taking time to make this video
I wanted to THANK YOU for doing this video...it really helped to give me an idea on how difficult it might be to accomplish this task. Thanks for making it clear and easy to understand. I also wanted to thank you because, our dryer is similar model but it is GAS. There was A LOT of lint near the gas ignitor inside and that could have caused all kinds of issues. I was able to get in there with a vacuum extension and get all the lint. THANKS again.
You are amazing!!!! Thank you so much for a great video. My drier was packed 🤮 with lint in the white fan thing. And I always clean my lint trap between loads.
You’re a life and money saver. Thank you so much! My dryer stopped working and watching your video helped me fix my problem without having to call anyone! I really appreciate your time and effort. Cannot thank you enough!
Good video just done mine and I had to actually go further it was the pipe (elbow) that connects to that side and elbows it out of dryer 🙄. Good tutorial thanks
I literally just bought one of these dam things and it's being delivered in 2 days , I think this may have saved me a lot of head ache down the road , I think it might be back to the drawing board
By far the best video on the internet for this topic. Note that you might find it easier to remove the top black clips instead of lifting the entire front face. Thank you!
Your video was very helpful. I have 2 suggestions for you. By now, 3 years later, this first one may not apply as you've moved forward? 1. you might consider getting a magnetized bit holder for your electric screwdriver. 2. when installing more than one screw or fastener on an item, leave all loose until all are in place. Then tighten. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much for this video. I’m a single mom and this saved me. I appreciate you so much !!!
Dude good job, brother noticed a ton of lint inside drum dryer exhaust, this helps me a lot. Thanks for the video my guy.
So glad you did this video - I had a different model that looks a bit different but the steps to remove the lint catcher holder was nearly exact! Idk what Samsung is thinking making it this tough to remove something so simple and prone to needing to be cleaned but there it is...again - thanks, awesome video! My Model: DVE52M8650V/A3
This is what I have too. Very annoying needing to remove the back screws to remove the top.
@@lindace7I’m late to the party but how did you get the panel off once the lid was open and 5 screws were out + tabs pulled up?? It seems like the bottom half is still tightened to something???
@@samanthasmith5948my problem now
@@samanthasmith5948 did you figure it out?
Just a quick note to tell you how thankful I am for this video. My elderly mother-in-law was trying to “Retriever“ a 10cent coin with a wooden spoon that ended up getting trapped so… Your video was extremely helpful as I was able to not only retrieve the coin, the wooden spoon but also gave my dryer lint duct a very good cleanup which was definitely needed. Thanks again
Thank you so much for the step-by-step video on this particular Samsung dryer style. It's a life saver!
i like that camera set inside the dryer
just like Tim--the Toolman Taylor....
Great video and thanks for posting. Although not the exact model Samsung, the design was close enough to show me what I was missing on getting the front off. Also, you helped me be ready to disconnect the sensor in the lint filter and for the door opening.
Thank you for this video. It’s ridiculous how much work it is to clean this out! You have to take the whole dryer apart! My last dryer, all you had to do was open it with 2 screws on the bottom. I think they make them this way so you burn them out and have to buy a new one.
You only need to take off the three screws on the silver part under the top. Makes it quite a bit easier.
You sir. Are a god
Thank you. Much easier than what was said on the video
Actually, Your comment was extremely helpful it actually made it way easier to pull forward first and lift up and nothing feel out of place like it did in the video. Thank you for this comment team work makes the dream work ❤
thank you, you save me a little time to clean up my dryer
Thank you SO much for this video! Followed your instructions and did it perfectly, feel so proud of myself 😅
Thank you very much. I have been trying to figure out how to clean m8ne out and couldn't fine anyhelp. Your video was great
Thank you for this. Was a good project for my 4 year old son and I to get a jam out so our dryer could start again. Got a good deep clean while we were at it.
Just want to say thanks for posting. I likely would have broken the vent off since all the other videos make it seem like it just pops off after you remove those three screws.
Omg that helped me so much I have tried spoons to get it out and had no idea what to do. You explained what you were doing and how you did it and it helped so much. Thank you
Thank you for the information. Two paper clips and 42 cents found.
Man, all I got was an adhesive rhinestone.
Perfect video, thanks so very much for taking the time to help us all learn to not be afraid to do it. Air hugs!! Am going to do this tomorrow, today I changed the door.😉
Thank you so much! I was having the hardest time figuring this out. This was the only video I found for my dryer. Thank you!!!
Thank you!!!!! I have a different model Samsung dryer and it worked just as well.
This video was quite helpful, thank you! Of course, I accidentally snapped off the dryer switch, which broke instantly, a little bit of crazy glue and it's as good as new lol
My model required me to tilt the whole machine backwards and get underneath to remove 4 screws from a black footer across the bottom. Once we did that, we were able to pry the bottom sides away from the base and THEN pull the front piece upwards and off. This was definitely a two person job and took about an hour.
Added tip: Clean the floor around the dryer first. Your face may become very close with it.
Thanks. Vid really helped. Found a sock stuck in the fan.
Out kids and wife have no idea what we men go thru just to ensure daily operations go smoothly. Thanks for posting this vid. It helped me out tremendously in fixing my dryer and in the end helped me save money! 🍻
Stop writing hateful comments. He at least took his time out of his day to make a video. Where are all yours at since you have so much pearls of wisdom? Just stop geez
Thank you so much. Helped me figure it out. And dryer works wonders now.
Thank you ! Fixed my Boyfriends Dryer that had a Pencil stuck In The blower motor! 🤦♀️🤗
Great video man,!! Helped me out, and found 10 bucks!! Beer money 💰 🤣👊👊🍻🍻
Awesome video !! Love the Allman Brothers type of music !!!
Perfect video. Exactly what I was looking for, thank you!
Left out a crucial part in the video of the 4/5 screws underneath the dryer needs to be removed before taking off the front panel off over those black tabs. Learned the hardway 😅
Followed all your instructions work perfectly 👌 thank you
This video was an excellent resource for me! Thank you! :)
Thanks for this very helpful video. As you mentioned, there's not much else out there on the net that explains how to do this.
thank you so much! was a lot of work but was able to get a pencil out that my nephew stuck inside ! very helpful and it’s good as new
I have a different model but it came apart just the same. This video helped immensely
So, 5 years later I had to get back into this dryer but this time to replace the heating element. Thankful for my own video. LOL!... BTW, don't wait 5 years. There was so much dirt, dust, lint, and dog hair it's a wonder it didn't start a fire.
Thank you for this video. I have been wondering how to take it apart. This is a bit much.
Thank you! My wife tried to clean debris with a pencil and the pencil went all the way in. I disassemble the front and found nothing. Went to the back and there it was…well at least I got to clean the front part of it.
Thanks just bought this model used and it needed a massive cleaning. This video helped a lot thanks
Thanks to your tutorial, I was able to evacuate eight years worth of lint stuck below the screen. I looked at previous videos, but they did not cover older Samsung Models. Thanks so much for saving me hundreds of dollars in repairs, and the headaches that go along with it. Awesome!
Dude thank you!!!!! Fixed my dryer myself all thanks to this video you rock!!!!
Thank you!! My lint filter cover was not lined up correctly so it caught and ruined every clothing cord, this is exactly what I needed, just gotta be more careful when pulling off the front to not hit myself in the chin 😮
This was extremely helpful, thank you so much!!!!
fantastic! thanks so much for posting this. very, very helpful.
I just cleaned out a bunch of stuff from my dryer. Your video was very helpful. Thank you.
I have been trying to figure this out for a while now. I am glad I found your video
