THANK YOU Justin! Your video just saved me from buying a new dryer. The new one was 799 plus tax, delivery and was 2 weeks out. Had a new element from Amazon for 33 dollars in 2 days and 2 hrs later I had a working dryer. Great feeling saving that much.
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Thanks so much! Single woman here, with no handyman around, so I have to be handy & do it myself 😄 you are awesome with this how to video! Better than the others that I’ve watched, as they made it seem much more complex. Thanks!
Glad I could help. I guess I'm your indirect handyman. Thanks for watching!
I thank God for the time you took to post this! I found your video in search of fixing my Samsung Electric Dryer. You were very thorough in explaining step by step how to change the heating coil and I felt completely certain that my husband and I could do it together. I ordered a multimeter and a heating coil on Amazon Saturday evening. It arrived Sunday evening and we installed it this morning (Monday). Hallelujah! It's a celebration 🍉🎉🎈. My dryer is working again and my determination to fix it was encouraged by your video + I'll be further encouraged in the future to fix a problem that arises.
Blessings.
Awesome! Glad I could help. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for posting! I watched a different UA-camr before tackling this. He had me pulling out the whole drum to get to the heating element, didn't show how to bend the tabs to lock it in place, didn't mention the wire shouldn't touch the coil, and said I had to remove the control panel before I could get the door out. I found your video after getting a DE error when all was done.
You're welcome! Is it working now? Thanks for watching!
@@becausestuffbreaks Yes! And thanks to you, I did a safer job.
Awesome!
You need to know your video has assisted us 4-5x in the repair of our Samsung dryer. The repairs are just far enough apart that we pull up your video each time. Huge thank you.
Lol. Glad I could help. Thanks for watching!
In June 2021, I watched this and decided to taackle the needed repair job myself, as the next service availability was a week away and we needed to wash and dry. The video was extremely helpful. My heater element indeed had a break and i got an original replacement for $100 or so, sincee I could get it that day. I only cut myself twice during the work. only had one plastic part leftover after the job, perhaps a wire holder. the lid does not hold down as tight as it used to though.
Here's a link to all my repairs for this dryer and in one of them I show how to fix the lid issue. Can't remember what video. Samsung Dryer Maintenance and Repair Model#DV45H7000EW/A2: ua-cam.com/play/PLpDIqoKPlBHU7-RqG0yoo2QBenvL7KEfV.html
Yeah, Mike, I grew up on the farm. My Dad always said that if you end the day and you've not got a cut or aren't bleeding; then, you really didn't do any work that day. He he he ...
Thanks a million for this!! I have the exact same part number drier but for some reason the backside of the heater coil bracket is actually held down by 2 screws where yours was held down by the 2 tabs..stubby Phillips head got it unscrewed and got the job done in less than an hour. You rock!
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for this posting. Our family is grateful for this tutorial. Just fixed our dryer following your steps.
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for posting this video and walking through every step. Gave me the confidence to try this myself after Samsung moved my appointment three times. Helped me out tremendously and only spent $30 with Amazon instead of the $300+ Samsung service center quoted me. I also had the bracket with the screws in the back so thank you to those that commented about the difference and what you did to get to those. One thing i'm curious about, is the dryer supposed to be warm to the touch on the outside down where the heating element is? It's not HOT per say, I can hold my hand there when it's on medium heat, but it's a bit uncomfortably warm.
It should feel warm from the outside but I'll have to check if it's uncomfortably warm next time I use it. There are thermal protection devices if it gets too hot.
Thanks for this! Using your video, my wife and I were able to successfully replace our heating element. Like others have mentioned, the new units have two screws behind the bracket that holds the element housing, but everything else is 100% spot on.
You’re changing lives, my man! Much appreciated.
Awesome! Glad I could help. Thanks for watching!
How did you get those two screws out
Thanks for this video.
It gave me the quick confidence I could knock out a needed repair in around 2 hours; start to finish (watching the video, calling for parts, picking them up, and swapping out the parts).
The hardest part for me was just getting the back of the assembly housing back in place.
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
And just like that, I saved A LOT OF MONEY! Bought the $40 parts and did the work myself! You are amazing!
Awesome! Glad I could help. Thanks for watching!
THANK YOU brother!!! Thanks for the step by step. My dryer is back up and running thanks to you.
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
This was great- couldn't have replaced my element without this video. Thank you very, very much.
Glad I could help. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this video!!! I originally had geek squad come and check it and was told the heating element went out. They were going to repair it but didn’t have the part and kept rescheduling my appointments. So I finally ordered the part and completed the task myself with the help of this video! Thank you so much!
Awesome! Glad I could help. I thought geek squad only fixed computers. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the video it was very helpful and made my job a whole lot easier. The only difference in mine was there were 2 screws on the back side of the part that was holding up the heating element. They were very difficult to get to, but we were able to get them out with some time. Putting the parts back together was easier than taking them out. All in all it took us about an hour to complete the entire project. Thank you again your video was extremely helpful.
Glad I could help. Thanks for watching!
Mine has those two screws at the back, I'm close to giving up, one of them WON"T come out!! Good to know that you eventually were successful, guess I'll keep trying
I did it!!! That part, anyway
I changed my element on June 24, 2021 using this video. FYI, some things have changed, now the housing for the element has a screw through to the bottom bracket, also, instead of having tabs on the bracket at the rear, there are two screws that screw to the bottom of the dryer. It can still be done, but you have to reach along side of the bracket to get to the back screws. Makes it a little harder to get out and back in.
Thanks for the info. I know this dryer inside and out now, so I plan on keeping this thing running until the wife makes me buy a new one. Thanks for watching!
This is really well done! I easily saved 200 bucks with the instructions you showed in the video. Thank you to have taken time to do this.
Thanks! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this in depth DIY, saved me some money by following your video and have the same dryer. Kudos!!
Yipee! Glad I could help. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for your tutorial. This is the second time I have used it to fix my dryer. Very detailed and well explained. Kudos my friend!
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Another great and useful vid, just wanted to add that I have the same dryer and it had screws on the back side of the bracket that holds the element up. Bit of a pain to get to but just wanted to mention that.
Thanks! Yes, I have heard from many in the comments about the other mounting bracket
Awesome video - helped me take ours apart and found the heating element was an electrical open. Thanks!
Glad I could help. Thanks for watching!
definitely saved on a $300 quote by using this video.. 2022 you out here saving lives and money Justin!!! $35 for the element and my time.
Awesome! Glad I could help. Thanks for watching!
It did save me a lot of money seeing this video! thank you!
Glad I could save you some money. Thanks for watching!
Omg thank you for posting this video!!! Just replaced the heating element and I couldn’t of done it without your video. You’re awesome
Awesome! Glad I could help. Thanks for watching!
Very helpful video. I had to use a screwdriver wrapped in cloth to pop the dryer top up. Thanks for the tutorial. It was spot on.
Glad I could help. Thanks for watching!
Hi justin,...this is soo helpful...the motor is running and just air moving around not hot...so we will give this a shot...save money that way ...hope it works in the end...thank you and we will let everyone know if it worked
You're welcome! Let me know how it turns out. Thanks for watching!
Great tutorial! Installed the heating element and we have heat again.
Yay! Glad I could help. Thanks for watching!
Thanks so much for posting this, it was a huge help for getting our dryer back up and running and made the whole process easy!
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Thanks a bunch! Saved me tons of time!
Glad I could help. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for posting this and taking the time to make a walk through on this. My dryer is back up and running like new. This was a huge help! 👍
Awesome! Glad I could help. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the help. Got my dryer up and running!!
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
You're my hero. Literally. You just saved my day. :D Thank you.
Glad I could help. Thanks for watching!
Good video. The bracket that he removed at 2:50 mark In the video - on my dryer it is screwed in both front and back. I couldn’t remove the rear screws. I bent it more flat to get it low enough to get the housing out, then I bent it back after the new housing was in
Thanks and thanks for watching!
Same here. For anyone else with this issue you can bend it like suggested above or what I did was use a short, stubby Philips screwdriver.
I’m having this issue. I also have a screw holding element to bracket I can’t get off.
Super helpful video. Thank you for posting it!!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
This video helped me a lot, thank you.
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video, save lots of $$, keep doing what you do
Will do! Thanks for watching!
Can I venmo you some cash to buy you a beer. This video was exactly what I needed. A few extra screws in place on my mounting area, but nothing a stub nosed Philips couldn't take care of.

Thats what im trying to do now. Lil stubby😂
😃
Thanks Justin - It really helped me today replacing my heating element - I must have a newer model although it stated DVH7000EW/A2 as the base stand bracket that holds the heater element had 2 screws in the the back of the bracket - not just the front - WTF - So I seen a round disc on the right bottom side of the dryer and I knock it out with the hammer. Then reached in from the back and by just feel unscrew the 2 screws - Samsung idiot design - when I put it back together I put the 2 screws in the back in from the bottom of the dryer - Genius! Last time I did this it was on a Maytag and all I had to do is pull of the back off and the heater element was right there to change out - took 30 mins - Samsung took 2 hours - pain in the A??
Made in China crap. Glad I could help. Thanks for watching!
I had the same issue, see above remarks. Definitely Samsung didn't want you to DIY.
@@donaldharry751 but by God we did, didn't we? 😩
Thanks for the video, made it much easier
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Worked like a charm! ❤
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
You’re the man Justin💪🏼💪🏼
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video bud! 30$ heat element and sensors! In and out within 2 hrs huge save bro thanks
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Great video. I don't have the instruction manual on mine, but I am glad that you showed the testing of the different components. I do need to learn how to do that. Right now, mine's running for 3 minutes then dropping down to 1 minute and quickly shutting off. So, I plan Saturday to monkey around with it and see if I can figure it out. I looked at the Moisture Sensors (from your other video), but I don't see anything in there (e.g., a dryer sheet). So, I plan to open it up and see if something had unlocked that sensor wire (maybe?). I'll do my best to remember to update you, if I figure out what the hell is wrong.
You're on the right track. Check out the plug for the moisture sensor and you can see where that is in this video. Let me know what you find. Thanks for watching!
Video was very helpful. Thanks
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Is there a possibility the top cover only comes off from the back; or, does it really take brute force (or maybe a crowbar) to release the two front snaps?
Yes. There's some screws in the back you can take off that might make it easier to get off.
So my short blue wire was corroded and completely severed at the connection. Do you know what part number that wire would be to order? Looks like my heating element is fine. It’s the blue wire connected that went out.
Can you just crimp on another connector from a variety pack in the tool section of Walmart?
Your video was a huge help. Thank you!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
My bracket had 2 screws on the back :( had to take the drum off but great video!
Yes, they like to throw that different bracket style in some of those. Thanks for watching!
Great help. Unfortunately the bracket on my probably somewhat older version has 2 screws in the back instead of just tabs. That might be a showstopper for me 😢
A lot of people have mentioned that problem on here. Let me know if you get them out
Thanks. I saved the cost of a new dryer and my wife thinks I’m a hunk
Glad I could score you some brownie points. Thanks for watching!
my dryer still heats but then after about 5 minutes it flips my house breaker, do you know what causes this? I’m hoping it’s the dryer that’s the problem
I suspect it's the breaker since it runs for a little bit before tripping, but it could be the dryer.
Hi, I did everything in this video (and then some lol had to remove screws not mentioned) what else could be causing the issue? I cleaned everything up as well and currently running but still no heat.
*correction, i did not test the wires that you tested cause I dont have one of those. Whats it called, maybe I can try to borrow or buy one. Thank you
It's called a Digital Multimeter. Other things can cause this problem. A clogged exhaust, bad thermal protection device or a bad contact in the motor. Here's a video I show when I found a bad contact in the motor and had to change that: ua-cam.com/video/IAEK-B1TmKI/v-deo.html
thank you, truly appreciate it@@becausestuffbreaks
You're welcome! Let me know if you need any help. Update me on what you find.
I've seen some videos where the red cable is on the top and not the bottom why do you think is
Engineering and budget changes
Hey thanks pal…. 👍🏼
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Big help, think you
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Question for you...I fixed my dryer and then pushed power button...catchy tune came on...pushed start and it quit...tried to repower 2nd time.... no power came on after that ...I realized the wires I forgot to hook up blue...red..and black..wires to the heating element...question is after I reattach red..blue..black wires...will everything come back on?
Since it didn't power on the 2nd time, I think you could have possibly had the wires touching the chassis and grounded the circuit and possibly damaged the circuit board. Try connecting them back up and let me know if it comes on.
I need help with my dryer please! Everything works with the dryer but it doesn’t heat. Is it for sure that it’s the heating element? I’m kinda nervous to try this since there’s wiring involved.
You can do this and I'll do what I can to help. First off, do you have a multimeter that can test continuity/resistance/ohms? You should be able to pickup one cheap from Walmart or Amazon.
Thank you for replying! I don’t have one yet but I will go get one before the part gets here, it won’t be coming until July 24th.
@@angelinar9228 once you get it, just follow my video and I will show how to verify if the heating element is your problem. Other things that can stop it from heating are, clogged exhaust vent, bad thermocouple, or the motor. Hopefully, it's only the heating element. Let me know when you're ready.
Thank you so much for this video! I fixed my dryer in about an hour. The heating element did the trick
Sweet! Did you verify it was bad with a meter first, or just change it?
I replaced mine and a week later same thing happened did I do something wrong
Possible you didn't connect something back up all the way and wiggled loose from all the vibrations
Hey they sell the element and housing together now and after replacing the first two time I tested it a strange smell is coming out. Did you have that when you first replaced?
Yes. The smell was like when you turn on an electric space heater after it has been sitting in the closet all summer. Dust and lent burning off I think. Was that what you smelled?
Yea it’s basically gone now. Thank you for the video. Saved me big bucks. I’m not a big handy man so you know if for some reason I installed something wrong the dryer has an emergency shut off if it gets too hot?
@@stevendavis505 yes, there's thermal protection devices that will remove power to the heating element.
Hey so I changed a part out. Put everything back in how it is supposed to be. Turn it on and it’s heating.. but maybe a bit too much. Smells like it’s burning and when I opened the door there was smoke. Any ideas?
You think it’s burning off a little lint? Or should I just replace the whole heating unit?
What part did you change? If it has been sitting unused for a long time or have a new heating element, you will have a burning smell, but not usually smoke.
@@becausestuffbreaks thermal fuse
@@seekdiscomfort1942 that shouldn't be smoking. I'm wondering if there's packing foam or something plastic stuck on or in the part you installed
@@becausestuffbreaks I didn’t notice anything on it. I was thinking maybe some lint got onto the heating coil when I was doing everything. I ran it a second time and there was far less smoke.
I know sometimes when you change your oil your car smokes slightly because some might have gotten on the engine. I wonder if it’s something similar and it will just burn off eventually. I haven’t seen any evidence of flames. Just the smoke and burning smell
The heating element housing is screwed in to the bracket in a location I can't get to, so it's not a matter of just lifting the housing up and pushing the bracket forward. I don't think this video is for the model listed in the title.
Just double checked and I have the correct model number. I've had other people comment about how they have what you have also. Here's a video I made that shows how to get the drum out if that helps: ua-cam.com/video/dbdKFMJbUJE/v-deo.html
Thanks!
You're welcome! Thanks for the Super Thanks and thanks for watching!
Fixed, thank you!
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Between 3 and 4 minutes: my bracket holding the heating element appears to have screws on the opposite side as well as the front. Anyone else experience this? I really don't want to have to remove the entire drum to get to it (my hands are a bit too big to get enough to undo them)
A lot of people have this. Just read the comments.
Thanks! Helped a lot. I’m not sure if I have an older or newer model but my stand that holds up The heating element actually has two more screws behind it. So hard to get my hand back there to screw them back in. But I got it all done thanks to this video. Is it normal to have a burning smell afterwards?
The burning smell is normal. Just like when you turn on a space heater after it has been sitting in the closet for the summer. The smell should quickly go away. If it smells like burning plastic/rubber then you have a problem.
@@becausestuffbreaks awesome. Thanks!
Hello. I'm trying to figure out if my issue is with the heating element or the motor. I can get the dryer running if I hold down the door sensor and give the drum a spin. Will the dryer power on if the heating element is damged?
Yes, it will power on with a damaged heating element
@@becausestuffbreaks My dryer powers on and makes a loud buzzing noise. The machine will not spin at all. Wonder if it's the thermistor or thermal fuse? I need to get my hands on a multimeter.
I believe you said heating element thermostat and thermal fuse was all good by testing them ?
What else was bad?
It was a feedback contact in the motor that was stuck open and basically telling the control board that the motor wasn't running so then it wouldn't turn on the heating element. Had to replace the motor in this video: ua-cam.com/video/IAEK-B1TmKI/v-deo.html
@@becausestuffbreaks how did you find that out
I put a jumper across the contact input at the control board to show closed and then started it and then the heating element came on. Do you need more details?
@@becausestuffbreaks hopefully not my boys dryer isn’t getting heat
Drum is spinning
I’ll test the heating element
High limit thermostat
And thermal cut off fuse
Like you did if I’m say the right names for all three items tested
@@bquedenfeld let me know what you find and if you need any help troubleshooting.
The model I have didn’t have tabs on the back side of the brace there were two screws, just an fyi.
Thanks. I've had several people comment that. Thanks for watching!
I’m having issues with getting the red and blue wires off. They just won’t come off.
Just keep wiggling and pulling. You can try Pliers, but that might damage a wire or connector. Let me know how you eventually get it off.
@@becausestuffbreaks I did get it off. Found a video specifically that suggested using a screwdriver to help pop it off if it’s stuck. The only problem is , now the silver connector is broke. Apparently my fil has some and will bring one over tomorrow. I was trying to be careful and not put too much pressure on it. But the dryer is 7 years old so , I expect stuff to eventually break.
@do0mbr1ng3r9 sounds good. That connection needs to be tight
Thanks for the video. Is the top meant to pivot like that when you popped up the front of it?
Yes. Thanks for watching!
Hey where can I get a new core from
I added a link the the part from Amazon in the description.
nice video, Justin. Where did you find the service manual?
Put your model number in here: www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/
My dryer has extra screws where I csnt reach it
If you need to remove the drum in order to take out the screws, here's a video I have that shows how to do that: ua-cam.com/video/dbdKFMJbUJE/v-deo.html
@becausestuffbreaks I managed to get both my hands around and with a small screw driver get both screws off 🥴 now working on replacing the element
@doverland Sweet! Thanks for watching!
Great video except the bracket holding my element had screws on the backside that were a pain to get out. I had to deform the bracket to reach them
Glad I could help. Thanks for watching!
So why did you replace the heating element? When you tested it originally it was 9.7ohms ? I'm currently trying to troubleshoot my dryer 😂😂
I only replaced it because I already had the new one bought and the old element removed. The old one is still good, so I saved that.
@@becausestuffbreaks this part got me confused as well. So you demonstrate how to change the element but you had no problem with the dryer if I understand correctly. If What if the element was really broken, you wouln't have ear the beep with you multimeter?
@@eloisecamire3741 my dryer wouldn't heat. I assumed it was the heating element, but during the process of taking it apart, I discovered the heating element was good. Ended up being a contact in the drum motor causing it. I'd the meter beeps, then your heating element is probably good. Shake it, just to make sure it's not an intermittent connection or break in the element.
That is alot of work, I'll just have a professional do it.
Lol. Thanks for watching!
@@becausestuffbreaks It's worth a try but I know I lose a screw or two.
@@eloisaguilar72 if you try it or run into any problems, let me know. I've done almost anything you can do with this dryer.
@@becausestuffbreaks Thank you so much. I'll save your contacts , Got to make sure I order the part first then take it from there..
@@eloisaguilar72 what exactly are your symptoms? If you need to share pictures or videos, you can do that on my public group on MeWe
