Do-It-Yourself Story

A month ago I replaced the heating element in a Samsung Dryer, everything was working great, then it stopped heating again. I disassembled the dryer again thinking g the heating element had quit working again. After takining it apart again I found the element be still intact and okay. On the side of the elheating element housing are two other parts (1) the thermostat and (2) fuse assembly. I noticed the fuse assembly had a melted spot on it. I used a multimeter to check the contunity found it to be open. I replace the fuse assembly and went ahead a replaced the thermostat. I also replace the vent hose due possible airflow restriction. Put everything back together and dryer is working great. I am going to check the vent hose monthly, and keep it clean and free of any debris which will help with airflow and keep the parts working properly. Hope this helps.
