Greg August 24, 2023 for Model Number DV42H5200EW/A3-0000 In the description it says that the fuse is affixed to a bracket. Later in the description it says that the rivets need to be drilled out of the original to replace. If the replacement fuse is attached to the bracket, can I not just unscrew the original bracket with fuse riveted and replace with this bracket that has the fuse attached?
1 Answer Greg, The thermal fuse should just have a screw holding it in place and would want to just unscrew it and install the new one. Read More...
Jimmy January 11, 2023 for Model Number DV48H7400EW/A2-0000 My dryer belt seized up in pulley and dryer wouldn't start replaced pulley and belt put back together and still won't start could my thermal fuse went bad when belt seized up
1 Answer Jimmy, the main control DC92-01626A would need to be tested for 120VAC at the brown wire found on the two-wire relay 5 while a cycle is started. If there is voltage, the main control is good. As the motor was not rotating, it would be unlikely that the thermal fuse DC47-00015A has failed. However, it can be tested for continuity to identify if it has, as it should have continuity. The belt switch 3405-001077 would also need to be tested for continuity when the belt pulley is in the position it would be while the belt is attached. If the main control, thermal fuse, and belt switch tested good, the failure would be in the motor DC31-00055G. Read More...
Eric June 03, 2022 for Model Number Samsung dryer DV48H7400EW/A2 Samsung Dryer lights up as if it is ready to Dry but it does not start.I can hear a click but it does not start. Do I need the Thermal Fuse or What?
1 Answer Eric, Thanks for the question!!! Typically when there is power and you hear the click I almost always find the belt is broken. Pop the top and look at that belt. Here is the part number if needed 6602-001655. Other options would be an issue with incoming power, the control board, or the motor. Read More...
Karianne October 18, 2021 for Model Number Dv42h5400ew/a3 Hi there! My dryer wouldn't heat so I tested my heating element and all was good. I ordered a thermistor, thermostat and thermal fuse from you guys and replaced them all by following your videos, thank you! I also cleaned the vents and I was thrilled when it was heating after my repairs! But not 4 minutes later... it won't hear again! I read another question that was came from someone with the exact same issue and the answer was: "The thermal fuse should only blow in the case of an overheating issue. It is possible that the relay on the control board may be sticking closed". Can you please elaborate? Is this something that can be repaired with any replacement parts? Model Number Dv42h5400ew/a3 Thank you!
1 Answer Karianne, Based on the information I would recommend checking the thermal fuse with a multimeter. If it is bad then check the dryer vent system for an airflow issue. Read More...
Travis Beyer March 23, 2021 for Model Number DV220AEW/XAA what is the difference between thermal fuses AP4201894 and AP4201892?
1 Answer Travis, We do not have information on the exact difference but it would be a temperature rating that would be different. The one on the side of the heating element will need to be higher than the one that would be on the blower housing. Read More...
Jeffrey Hake March 01, 2021 for Model Number DV52J8700GP/A2 s/n 0AJ95BBGC00027F My Samsung dryer model DV52J8700GP/A2 , will hum when you press the start button, like it wants to go. If I depress the door safety switch and spin it while my wife hits the start button, it will start and run perfectly. Just have to slam the door quick enough. Any ideas on pin pointing a part to check ?
1 Answer Jeffrey, If you can get the drum to spin and stay spinning by rotating the drum then this will be a faulty motor in the dryer. The start winding would be bad and will need to replace the entire motor DC31-00055G. Read More...
Carlos B October 31, 2019 for Model Number Dv42h5400ew/a3 We have changed the entire housing with a new element and heat sensor 3 times. We have cleaned the vents multiple times. The only thing that blows is the safety switch in the housing but the safety switch. Is there something else that can make this go out. I have had this dryer for over 3 years. Now that we have installed aftermarket parts in here it is consistently going out. What can keep causing this? Please provide any feedback
1 Answer Carlos, This thermal fuse should only blow in the case of an overheating issue. It is possible that the relay on the control board may be sticking closed and causing the dryer's heater to not shut off. Read More...
Kasper March 10, 2019 for Model Number DV422EWHDWR/AA-0001 Hello, I am not sure if I have the -0000 or -0001 dryer. I have been having issue with the thermal fuse blowing within 5-10 mins of starting the dryer. Today I have replaced the hose to the outdoor exhaust, cleaned the pipe in the wall and the dryer managed to stay on and heating for most of the cycle. I am not sure what else I can do here? Ive replaced this fuse about 5 or 6 times now. I checked continuity through the thermostat and the heating element and everything is good. Thank you for any help in advance!
1 Answer Kasper, you may want to test the resistance of the heating element. The heating element [DC47-00019A] should read 10 ohms. If it does not read 10 ohms, the heater could potentially overheat and trip the hi-limit thermostat. Another thing that would need to be checked is if the control is properly cycling the heater on and off. If the element is grounded out or the control [DC92-01025A] does not cycle properly, it will cause the element to overheat as well. Read More...
Cwl January 15, 2019 for Model Number DV42H5000EW/A3-0000 I saw a question about the reivet size for the thermal fuse on the heating element assembly. Seems like a simple question but answer say use the size that fits ??? That needs to be known before you begin the repair. The rivet diameter and length(thicknes of the material to be riveted), also does it need to be steel rivets? I have the same question.
1 Answer CWL, Unfortunately the manufacturer does not list the rivet size that is needed for the thermal fuse. Also it would be best to use steel rivets due to high heat. Read More...
Nick September 23, 2018 My Samsung dryer turns on but it will not start a cycle. It does nothing but count down the timer. Any idea
1 Answer Nick, You will want to check the thermal fuse on the unit to make sure that it has continuity. If there is continuity then you would need to check to see if the units belt may be broken or this would be a control board issue. Read More...
