John S Haslet , TX March 26, 2015 Appliance: Samsung Dryer DV218AEW/XAA-0001 Samsung Dryer Dv218aew/Xaa-0001 / : Dryer drum weld cracked. How to replace Assembly. After diagnosing the loud "thump-thump" coming from my dryer I surfed the Web for a replacement drum. There were only a few options and decided to use Appliance Pros once again. There were a few lower priced sites for the part but AP had done me right in the past with quick and affordable shipping, great customer service and a solid return policy. Well worth the few extra dollars I paid for my item to have the support and dedication this company provides. I watched their disassembly video on the site for my particular unit and replaced the part in less than an hour. AWESOME! Literally the best and most reputable appliance part site out there. Extremely happy customer. THANK YOU AP Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 30-60 minutes
