Dani October 12, 2017 for Model Number DV350AEW/XAA-0000 Do you have to attach the thermostat facing a certain way? I notice a small “1” on one side & a “3” on the other. There is no sticker on the new thermostat like there was on the old one, which I would have used as a guide. The video does not specify & the replacement piece in the video has a sticker on it. I want to be sure I am placing the blue & black cords on the correct sides, if there is an actual correct side. Thank you!
1 Answer Dani, No there is not specific way that the thermostat would need to be installed. Read More...
Robert September 14, 2017 for Model Number DV40J3000EW/A2 My dryer will run only for 5 to 10 seconds and shut down on all settings, not sure why can anyone tell me what could be the problem? Plus there is no heat
1 Answer Hello Robert. If the unit needs to cool down to restart, then it sounds like the motor is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Thank you. Read More...
Smith September 06, 2017 for Model Number dv42h5200ew/a3 The dryer cycles are way off. First noticed the sensor cycles would fluctuate up and down by several minutes and get stuck on last minute, plus not dry the clothes. we cleaned the sensor bar and checked the vents. still no luck. switched to timed dry cycles ,but now the drying phase is barely warm while the cooling phase in the last 3 minutes of the cycle is super hot. This means it takes about 3 cycles of 40 minutes to dry clothes rather than one cycle. sometimes the cycle gets stuck on the last minute even in the timed cycle. Have replaced the thermistor and main control board. No change. want to limit opening up this dryer for a third time as it might be cheaper to trash it and get a new one if i keep replacing parts. Any ideas?
1 Answer Smith, You will want to check the venting from the lint filter duct to the outside of the home which would be the most likely cause for the longer drying times and the clothes not drying. Read More...
Michael Robinson August 03, 2017 for Model Number DV5451AEW/X1103 To test the thermostat if using OHM's Should there be .0 or another value
1 Answer Michael, All the thermostats in a dryer should have a "closed" circuit / infinite resistance on a meter, at room temperature. Set the meter on the lowest resistance scale, and place the meter probes across the two larger terminals with the wires disconnected. Depending on the meter the display should show a "closed" circuit(000, CL, or 0). There should be no other values displayed . Read More...
Shane July 21, 2017 for Model Number DV218AEW/XAA Recently had no heat in dryer. Replaced Heater coil and now dryer runs extremely hot. The dryer tub is so hot I could barley touch it, I only ran the dryer for 2-3 minutes and turned it off. I checked the air vent and it seems fine. Is it the thermostat ??? thanks Shane
1 Answer Shane, This issue does sound like it would be caused by a faulty thermostat on the unit. There is a inlet thermistor and outlet thermistor which sounds like these may be the issue with the unit. Read More...
Tj June 19, 2017 for Model Number DV431AEP/XAA-0001 It seems that my dryer is stuck on hot, when I run it on extra low the clothes come out hot the the touch in less than 10 min. Does this mean the thermostat is defective as it doesn't know when it's reached a certain temp. If I run it on air fluff it runs fine no heat.
1 Answer Tj, You will want to check the venting of the unit which could cause this issue. If this checks ok then you will want to check the thermistor to make sure that it is good and if it checks ok then either the relay on the control board is stuck closed. Read More...
Randy June 03, 2017 for Model Number samsung dv42h5200ep Was wondering if the thermostat is suppose to have loose parts in it. I already had to replace the thermostat on the dryer on one occasion and if I recall correctly the new part I received didn't have loose parts. Dryer stopped producing heat again and when I checked the thermostat now it has loose parts in it. And what I mean by loose parts is that when you shake it it has something moving around inside.
Bob April 05, 2017 for Model Number DV365ETBGWR/A3-0001 having heating issues ,my dryer only gets hot on sanitize setting, it will not heat up on any other setting.

Bob March 31, 2017 for Model Number DV2C6BEW/XAA-0000 How do you test the heater element thermostat t-o-d 60t11?
1 Answer Bob, To test the thermostat you will do a continuity test. If there is no continuity then the thermostat is faulty and would need replaced. Read More...
Fixanything March 21, 2017 for Model Number DV419AEW/XAA-0000 I checked the thermal fuse and thermostat (located on the outside of the dryer heating element assembly) for continuity and they passed on this dryer. The element did not pass and had two areas where the coils were broken. I replaced the heating element. This lasted one month and three days and now no heat again. I am going to recheck these items but I'm worried there is something else I should be checking-maybe the thermistor and thermal fuses on the blower assembly? If those pass, where do I check next? Thank you.
1 Answer Fixanything, This issue would most likely be one of the thermostats on the heating element. If they check ok and the heating element is ok then this would likely be a control board issue. Read More...
