James C Temple Hills , MD March 08, 2016 Appliance: Model SAMSUNG DV218AEB/XAA Problem with the heating element Yes. Since I was replacing the heating element I decided to replace the fuses and thermostat. I ordered and installed the parts I purchased from Appliance Parts Pros and the dryer works great. 48 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 1-2 hours
