Jeffery June 13, 2021 for Model Number DVE52M8650V/A3-00 I'm having trouble figuring out where the wires go on the element and the fuse and the thermostat. Like the red white n blue then the two blacks and also the red n blue
1 Answer Jeffrey, On the element, there will be 3 terminals and 2 will be separated from the other by a screw. The one that is separated will have the red wire that will then go to one side of the high limit thermostat. then the blue wire from the control board will go to the bottom terminal and the white will go to the top terminal. The other blue wire that comes from the motor will be on the other side of the high limit thermostat and then the 2 black wires will connect to either side of the thermal fuse. Read More...

Greg May 07, 2021 for Model Number DV45H7000EW/A2 Your parts listing says the heater element assembly (AP4342351) fits my dryer (Samsung DV45H7000EW/A2), then says it won't fit when I enter the model in the appliance compatibility tool!? Does it fit or not????
Alyssa March 25, 2021 for Model Number Samsung My boyfriend bought wrong heating coil It has three wire connections our dryer only has two wires.... can we just hook the wires to top and bottom and leave one open connection with no wire?
1 Answer Alyssa, You will want to use the 2 coil and would not want to use the 3 terminal because they have different wattage ratings on each of the heaters. Read More...
Emilio Serafin December 31, 2020 for Model Number DV45H7000EW/A2 Hi I recently replaced the whole heating element assembly on my dryer and it worked for about a week and stopped heating again. Would that have anything to do with maybe the wiring?
1 Answer Emilio, You would certainly want to test the thermostats to ensure that they are good and if they are then there are 2 components other than the thermostats which would cause the heating element not to work. First is the motor and second the Control board. The best option is to disconnect the power to the unit and access the heating element. Disconnect one wire that is going to the heating element, preferably the one on the thermostat side. Plug the unit back up and using a multimeter you will want to turn the dryer on and test for 120 vac at the terminal on the heater where the wire was disconnected. What this will do is eliminate the heater element itself and the motor. If there is 120 vac at this point then you know the heater is good and the motor is good because the other 120 vac coming through the thermostats is the control board side of the circuit. If there is not 120 vac at that point then you will want to test the other terminal on the heater and check for 120 vac. If there is not 120 vac then the motor would be bad. Read More...
Shawn December 14, 2020 I accidentally ordered the wrong dryer heating element. It's pretty much the same but it only has two lead wires to the element. The original part has three. Is there a way to just use two and leave the third off?
1 Answer Hello Shawn, I'm sorry but you cannot substitute a single element for a dual element without causing electrical problems within the unit. You will need to order the correct part for the model in your home. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter. Read More...
Casey November 17, 2020 for Model Number DV52J8700EW/A2-0000 This heating element is a 2-wire - what are the options for a 3-wire for my dryer? Can I just take the coil out of this 2 wire to fix my 3 wire one?
1 Answer Casey, the three-terminal element would not be able to be repaired by a two-terminal coil. It is recommended that the manufacturer recommended heating assembly DC93-00154A is used to repair the heating element. Read More...
1 Answer RJ, The red wire should go to the top terminal coming off the thermal hi limit. Then the blue should go to the middle and white to the bottom. Read More...
