You can do this!
Although an Art Director by trade, I like working with my hands. I’m adept at working with tools and following instructions. In today’s disposable society, I prefer fixing things. That said, this has to be the easiest repair I’ve ever attempted with the largest cost-savings versus hiring a professional.
My brand new dryer had been in use fewer than six months (average 6 loads per week) when suddenly the dryer would not heat. The drum would spin, there were no error codes, and the machine behaved as though all was functioning properly, but the clothes would not dry—in fact, they were cold. What the heck?
I found that reputable repairmen are difficult to find in the Washington D.C. area. Interestingly, some of those that are reputable refuse to work on Samsung products! Who knew?
After some research, you likely found appliancepartspros.com the same way I did. My research informed me that dryers are actually quite simple machines. There’s not a lot that can go wrong with the parts of the machine that perform the actual drying of clothes. I determined (by educated guess) that my issue was being caused by either a faulty: thermistor, thermal fuse, or the thermal fuse assembly (or a combination of all three). So I bought all three for under $40 including shipping. I figured since I’m taking the machine apart, I may as well replace all three parts while I’m in there. I made the right call. I had my dryer apart and back up and running in under an hour.
Dryer not working? Do this: Chat with the customer service specialist to make sure you’re buying the appropriate parts and while you wait for your parts to arrive, watch the tutorial videos (they're incredibly helpful) a few times to familiarize yourself with the project from start-to-finish.
When your parts arrive, queue up the tutorial videos, set your phone/tablet close by, and get to work.
My dryer stopped working on a Sunday. Thanks to appliancepartspros.com, I was drying laundry again by Tuesday. Insanely fast shipping, super-helpful customer service, and quality replacement parts.
I completed the repair three months ago as of this writing and the dryer is still working as it should.
Good luck!
