How to replace a Samsung Dryer Heating Element
When the heating element fails or its shorted , it can cause the dryer not to heat.
---------
Replace the DC97-16782A Drum Roller to repair the symptoms: The bearing or the shaft is starting to go bad and you’re getting a squeaking noise; the bearing has totally failed and it sounds like a pair of tennis shoes inside the dryer.

I thought I'd let you know this video helped me fix my dryer this past weekend. Your going on three year old video has probably helped thousands of people make this repair possible. Thank you.
I am happy to help and thank you for letting me know. 👍🏻
As a single mom with no extra money to call a repair man, this video was a lifesaver! Thank you so much. 💜
Fantastic job!! Just got done with mine a half hour ago. Pro tip for anyone doing this, my issue was the heat coil busted. So when swapping it out the replacement may make you think it won’t fit and is too small but you would be wrong. It fits just fine, you have to squeeze the metal housing. That threw me for a loop.
The only reason I could think someone would thumb down this vid is because they are the ones who flip broken dryers. So informative and bonus to have the links to buy the parts needed for this swap. Subscribed and look forward to future videos. THANK YOU FELIX!!
With the help of your video I was able to fix my dryer that would run, but had no heat.
Your video saved me hundreds of dollars for calling out a repair person or buying a new dryer.
People like you who share their knowledge help many people. Thank you so much !
I am happy to help 😊
After 10 years of never any issues with our Samsung dryer, but it stopped working this month. Thanks for this video and products, I order the part on Amazon then fixed my dryer !!!
I am happy to help 😊
Sir. My husband works night. I didn’t want to wait one more day to do laundry (7 kids). This is my dryer, and I just fixed it!!!! Thank you so much. I kind feel like a super hero 🤷🏼♀️😂♥️
Great job!
This was VERY helpful! We had only ordered a heating element and were afraid that we needed the thermostat, too, but thanks to the note to check the element for breakage, we determined that was the problem. We actually cheered when we found the break! lol. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I have watch quite a few videos and you were the first to show that I don't have to take the entire dryer apart....very helpful thanks bro.
Excellent explanation! I followed your instructions and was able to remove the part... I even accidentally cut myself a little😅. I had to use another video near the end because I was replacing the entire heating assembly but this is exactly what I needed to get me near the finish line. THANK YOU!!! My model is a bit newer and the pedestal had screws in the back. It was easy to keep those in and push down/ flatten the pedestal enough to pull out the part, then push it back up when I was ready.
I am happy to help 😊
You are the man Felix. Saved me $900 since wifey wanted a new dryer instead of me fixing it. 😅
Happy to help 😃
Thanks for the video, it worked like a charm! Note: on ours, the pedestal that the heating element housing sits on had two screws in the back as well. Those were a pain to get out.
Just ran into that issue as well. I was so damn excited until I got to that. What did you use? Ratchet to reach behind? I’d imagine getting them back in will be even tougher? How did you handle?
I suggest buying a multimeter and checking all pieces for conductivity (thermostat, fuse, coil, etc.). I first replaced the thermostat based on this video without testing anything and that didn't fix it. Was going to buy the coil next but decided to purchase a multimeter to test. Sure enough the coil was fine (original thermostat was too) but the fuse was bad. Purchased the fuse and my dryer is back heating!
i just can’t understand why there are 8 thumb down for this video. This Video is so informative and useful that I would assume a 100% thumb up.
I will enlighten you of the reason..... this guy does not use an ohm meter to test the heating element continuity or how to test the thermistor for proper functioning and diagnosis.....this gentlemen is an improvised handi man who goes around replacing parts guessing at what could be the problem....that's why....at best, he shows how to take the machine apart to reach the problem area.
H Max don’t see any problem with that
H Max, I appreciate that his vid was this way bc if he had had some fancy ohm reading gadget, I would have thought it was past my skill set and not even attempted a self repair! I’m trying to fix the dryer myself rather than paying hundreds for someone else to do it. I love that he said “look and see if the coil is broken” and that that would be a good indicator of a heating element issue. If not, probably the thermostat. Very very very helpful video! Doesn’t need all the other bells and whistles you’re saying it’s missing.
@@hmax1591 hater
I about broke my pedestal trying to get it out because he said just wiggle it around it will come out. Nope there are screws holding the back of it in.
Best video I’ve found yet!!!
I haven’t tried to fix mine yet, but this was very detailed and I’m positive I won’t have any issues getting it done.
Thank you, Felix. This video is perfect for a Jack of all trades, but master of none, like myself. Perfect directions.
This was exactly what I needed! Our dryer slowly stopped heating up and finally stopped completely this week. Managed to take apart the dryer as per the video. There were 2 extra screws behind my bottom bracket, but I managed to get them by reaching around the bracket with a small Phillips screwdriver. New heating element and thermostats installed and it’s working perfectly now!
I have the exact same model dryer and it stopped heating just before I left on vacation last week (oof). This video is a lifesaver, thank you SO much! UA-cam and DIY repair people for the WIN!! I am surprised at how inexpensive the replacement heater element and thermostat are too.
Don’t know why your video wasn’t coming up first compared to all the other dumb ones. This was exactly what I needed. Thanks for taking the time to show the details. Only missing the ohms test which is a must when troubleshooting and replacing in the end!
Thanks Felix, I really liked the video! I suggest using an ohmmeter to check the continuity of the coil. Less work than inspecting, if you have the tool =)
Thanks! This definitely worked. We fixed our dryer a year ago and it's still working perfectly. Just came back to share the video link with another person. Thank again!
👍🏻
Thank you for making this video! I was completely lost when my dryer broke. I ordered the parts and followed your instructions and my dryer is up and running again. I appreciate it!
Jessie Nguyen I am glad to hear that 😃 you can help me back by subscribing!! Thank you ^_^
This was very helpful. The “L” bracket holding the front of the coil had two machine screws attached to the back of the base, so no “wiggling” was ever going to release it. But you can feel around with your finger and get a small Phillips screwdriver in them and get them unscrewed. Also, the thermostat and coil wiring were not the “plug” type,so I took a photo of the wiring on the thermostats. But thank you… I saved a lot of money fixing my dryer.
For a nearly 100% fix it the first time.. just replace that whole heating element assembly (that sheet metal "tube" the heating element was in) not each part, trying to figure out which one. That assembly, or tube includes the thermostat, thermomister, heating element, and I think.. the thermal fuse - and all this is roughly only like $10 more than buying one part at a time. Great freaking video explanation though Felix! You nailed it.
IMPORTANT NOTE: First, great video! Second, which one is bad? Both of those parts can be checked with a meter. If your meter has a continuity check, just disconnect the wires from the side of the heater box. Then check continuity across each part. If any of the 3 parts does not have continuity from the two sides of it, it is bad. In my dryer, the heating element had no continuity, so obviously bad. After you find a bad one, check the other 2 parts as well (just to order them at the same time if they are bad).
If your meter doesn't have a continuity test, just test for ohms to see if they are connected internally or not. If not, they are bad.
If you want to cheat, you can lay down the dryer on the front and pull out the exhaust tube that is in the dryer (one screw). You can reach in and pull the wires and check if you have continuity through the part. But you cannot replace the heating element this way, that has to be through the front.
And as I said, great video explanation of how to do it. Oh, and you may have screws holding the back of the bracket under the heating element (mine does).
Awesome. My dryer went out too. Ordered part and pretty confident in fixing it.
A suggestion on determining if it is a heating element or the thermostats. If you check continuity with an ohm meter and get a good signal, it is most likely the thermostats. Some may choose to replace both since your in there any way.
Thank you for doing so many closeups throughout your video
FYI there are 2 screws behind the thing that holds the heating element up. you need a short screwdriver. I think you had them out from a previous repair. I didn't put them back. Very helpful video !! Thanks
I’m subscribing to your channel Felix! Love it. The thing you call a thermostat is a high limit switch in the heating and ac world. The “NC” on the label of the limit switch means normally closed. When the heating element reaches an unsafe temperature the limit switch will open the electrical circuit cutting power to the heat element. If your limit switch is a NC (normally closed) you can test it by checking for continuity with your multimeter across the leads. Same thing goes for your heating element. If you don’t get any resistance reading (OL on your meter) you have a broken element.
It’s all about sharing the information. Thank you for taking the time to post this video brother.
I know your comment was almost a year ago, but if you check in…I replaced coil and thermostat and still don’t have any heat, so my question is (someone who is completely unknowledgeable on this stuff) I noticed the wires were different colors, would it matter which port I connected a wire to similar to car battery? Cause I didn’t notice any type of +/- symbol or indication that they had to go a certain way. Thanks
*Felix not sure if you can see or read this, if so, would know happen to know incase this guy hasn’t signed on in over a year?
We just fixed our dryer using your video! Agradezco tanto que te hayas tomado el tiempo para hacer este vídeo!
Ala orden amiga 👍🏻
Felix, well done! Instructions were super clear and easy to follow. Same dryer, heating element was cracked and fixed it with the replacement kit in about 30 min. Thank you so much!
I am happy to help 😊
Where did you buy the replacement kit?
Hello Enrique. I used the link at the bottom of Felix's post.
www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QJWX98P/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Thermostat 1 the 10% part is whats bad on mine....but you saved me a hundred bucks on a service call!!! Thanks...gave a thumbs up
Finding this video gave me the confidence to fix my dryer. I cannot thank you enough!!!
I am so happy i helped you. You can help me by subscribing ^_^ thanks
Used your video to replace the heating element. Thank you so much for the help🎉💃First appliance repair ever😄👍
I ordered from the Amazon link you shared since my dryer is the same model and the 30ish dollar heating element was exactly what was wrong with mine! Plus the break was super obvious once I took it out!
I loved how the order also came with other stuff like the thermostat so I can have just in case!
Thank you soooo much! 🎉
I am happy this worked out for you 👍🏻
This helped me and my husband fix our dryer!! Thank you so much!!
Thanks to your video I was able to open and repaired my dryer.bI had no idea how to opened.The problem was the heat element spend $75.dls.good video.
Thank you to Fix it Felix for this video! I ordered the kit referenced in the description and fixed my dryer last weekend. In my case the heating element coil had broken as referenced in the video. I went ahead and replaced the thermostat as well. One procedural note: My dryer had 2 difficult to reach screws on the back side of the base of the metal stand that supports the heating coil fixture. This is not shown in the video. (Perhaps a slight variation in models?)
Took me 30 minutes to get those screws out. I had to lift up on the metal coil container (basically pushing it to touch the bottom of the drum and rotating it to the left) in order to get a thicker screwdriver for better torque grip. I recommend using the socket wrench he shows in the video.
I am happy to help. Thank you for the information 😊
I ordered the heating element and thermostat on Amazon and replaced it just like your video. Everything was just like you said, fast and easy. The heating element was what my dryer needed replaced, I went ahead n replaced all the parts that came with the kit. Thank you so much, I saved tons on doing this repair myself.
😊
I Did the same. However, had a heck of a time with the putting tube back together. Do not use power screw driver it will strip the threads of the housing. If there is a next time I will be looking for the entire tube. This took me every bit of 2 hours more like 2-1/2.
Felix I can't thank you enough for this video. I had to use it atleast 4 times with my dryer. But all things must come to an end. I couldn't take it anymore and purchased a new washer dryer set haha. Thanks for the help!
You’re welcome. Sorry to hear about your Samsung dryer. I hope the new dryer last you a life time 😊
Thank you for the video, because of your video on how to fix Samsung dryer, it literally saved me $$$… much appreciated
Brother I thank you from the bottom of my heart . . I bought the parts to fix it and just as you have shown it is very easy to do . . NOTE : I found that on my model the 2 screws on the top back didn't need to be removed as they were holding the hinges for the top LOL . . Have a Good day !
I am happy to help 😊
Thanks. It really help to show how to partially disassemble a Samsung dryer. Ours is working but making alot of noise. I am hoping all it needs is cleaning. Drum drive and belts seem to be OK.
Glad it helped
My problem was the heating element. Thank you felix for this easy video.
Thank you Félix we did and followed your instructions and our dryer is working perfectly. Excellent video and details.😊
Isabelle Martin I am always happy to help. ^_^
Fixed mine, thank you! My dryer had four screws holding the sheet metal pillar that supports the heating element, instead of just two in the front. Also, the repair kit came with two parts I didn't use.
Not sure if my comment went through, but thank you for taking the time to do this video. Life safer! 🙏🏼
Happy to help. Your comment went through 😊
Exactly what I needed. Especially appreciate the link to the correct part. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Excellent is all I can say step by step easy to understand.Well done
Thank you for this awesome walk through! Helped diagnose my dryer, and ordered the part for it! So glad you made this video lol.
happy to help ^_^
I really appreciate the video. I’m headed to a supply house to pick up the parts. Thanks
I am happy to help. Good luck
What a wonderful guy that helped allot couldn’t fix my drier without your help thank you Felix.
Thank you Felix! The instructions were easy to follow, and the repair only took about an hour. You saved me $300 for a repair man, the parts only cost $35.
I just fixed my dryer following your instructions! Thank you 😊
I am glad to hear 👍🏻
Thank you for this video! I had this issue and found out my heater core was split in one part. I ordered the kit and replaced all the parts and its back up and running like new. Thanks again!
Thanks for this video. My dryer’s heater just stopped working and I found your tutorial. Ordered the parts from your link. Thanks again
Glad it helped
Awesome video. Perfect explanation of what and how to change the heating element.
Note: My dryer was a newer or order version of the same model. I had 2 screws in the back, not the feet of the little stand that hold it up. After wiggling for a while I felt around and found the two screws. I was able to get them, even with my arthritis, by coming in with a stubby Philips from the right hand side. Maybe make this a top comment so that other people see it.
Excellent job, excellent video. You saved me from calling someone to fix it !!
This is the second one on my dryer, thanks for the tutorial.
Bro you are the man! Thanks so much for the vid. Dryer repaired. Now I’m walking with my chest in the air lol.
Happy to help 😊 👍🏻
If you're just replacing the thermostat just go through the back and it will be much quicker. Great vid - thanks
Keeping it simple, thank you, just ordered my parts to do the job with an extra band-aid or two.
Thanks for making this video.. it help me fix our dryer and save me on idk how much money on a repairs bill..
Thank you for the detailed video. It helped me get my dryer working again.
Thank you so much!!! I was able to fix my dryer alone thanks to your video!!
Felix, Thank you for this informative video! We now have the same cut on the same finger and are blood brothers!
😆 happy to help. Take care of your hand. 👍🏻
Felix you are a life saver!! Best video out here hands down! Immediately subscribed, I can't thank you enough!!
I am happy to help 😊
This video just saved my butt.
Did you make a video replacing the heating element and the thermostat?
thank you so much for your video . i did everything you said and it came out perfect .and i saved 275, 00 $$$$ . you made me look like the man in my house . thanks again .
Thank you Felix. I have a different model but the process was basically the same, my only 2 cents is when your taking the heater stand out to try and use to hands and lift back and up and maybe when your pulling the heater coils out that you may need to unscrew the ground.to get it out.
thanks for homing in on the wire connections. i wasnt detailed enough when i wrote mine down.
Thanks Felix. My problem was the heating element. Now it's fixed thanks to you're video
THANK YOU!! Helped me figure out what to do so quick and easy.
Love the video had my dryer fixed in less then hour. Thank you so much saved me money on a service call.
I am happy to help 😃
I am happy to help 😃
Felix i think the dryer you worked on already had been taken apart because at 4:41 you show how to take out the support bracket taking out the three screws then "wiggling it out". When actually there are 5 screws holding it in. Two in the back that are almost impossible to get out without removing the drum.
Thanks Felix. Watched your video and now waiting for part to be delivered. Fingers crossed it all works when I put it back together.
Good luck my friend. 👍🏻
We just fix our dryer and it was the heat element thank you so much for this video.
Thank you. I was able to diagnose the problem, I have the exact model.
Tips for future viewers:
1. Unplug the power cord and have somebody like your wife or husband to double check.
2. Wear gloves, not latex but not too thick either. You will cut your self, Samsung does not play around.
3. You can actually check for continuity test before taking the unit out, check both ends of the spiral wire before they touch the connector, if you get no sound then it's broken, you can also check the black part for continuity by moving the unit around after unscrewing like 2 screws from the bracket.
3. The 2 screws from hell in the back of the bracket, do not wiggle the bracket after removing the 2 front screws, you will have 2 in the back, use a small Phillip's screw driver to get them out and move your hand slowly to avoid cutting yourself, move the unit to the left to get the screw on your right, or use one of those fat small screw drivers perfect for this job.
This helped me so much was able to follow along as I watched the video and replaced the coil and both thermostats in the length of time it took to watch the video.
Great job!
Thank you bro I’m about to order the part right now you saved me a lot of money bro 👍🏾
I am happy to help , you can help me back by subscribing to my youtube channel thanks ^_^
Great video. However, in my model, the mounting bracket was attached in back as well. And the bracket and element housing had an additioinal screw inside. So I had to remove the dryer drum as well.
Watched it and you did it quickly. You even made it look easy. I've got to do it tomorrow -- just got parts from Amazon. Subbed.
Poe Lemic happy to help ^_^
Thank you, Felix! Couldn't have done it without your video.
I am happy to help 😊
Thankyou this looks simple I can do it!! Yayy tired of wasting money to dry my cloths now i can juz fix my dryer
You are so welcome!
Thank you for your detailed video. This was very helpful.
Brooo thank you so much dude, you are a life saver. You explained everything well and showed what you were talking about. Great video
Thanks Felix, this helped me fix it! I put my own videos to help out the community as well. Thanks again!
Just follow the steps great video. Took a while but got it done. I would suggest some skin tight gloves because some metal parts are a bit sharp I did cut my thumb a bit. No big deal.
Fantastic. Thanks! Wish they had made the back removable.its a pain getting to stuff in the washer cause of that.
Very helpful.... thank you so much , you saved me bunch of money and kept my wife happy lol, again thanks
Muchas gracias su video fue asombroso , me ayudó a descifrar el problema con mi secadora, además de enseñarnos cómo hacerlo, nos incluyes cómo resolverlo 😮muy buen video
Thanks... Had a broken heating element. Thanks again!!!
👍🏻
YAY! I am so glad I found this video. Thank you so much!
Great video!!! The parts was so cheap i replace the them both thermostate and the heating element.
Thank you found the part and got it fixed in 3 hours. Happy wife!
Loved the video but due to my incompetence I somehow allowed the heating coil to touch the metal bracket and after working for 5 minutes it burnt out. Ordering a new piece and will try again tomorrow.
Thanks! Saved me lots of money and time.. great video
Your video helped me so much, I was able to do it by myself with ease. Thank you so much
