Samsung Dryer DV3C6BEW Won't start or doesn't start

The Thermistor is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This part measures the temperature inside the dryer drum and sends this information to the control board, which regulates the heat to ensure efficient drying.  

Causes of a bad thermistor can include regular wear and tear, exposure to high temperatures, or electrical faults.

Symptoms of a bad thermistor include:

• Dryer not heating or overheating
• Clothes taking longer to dry
• Inconsistent drying performance
• Error codes related to temperature issues

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

This drive belt transfers the motor's rotation to the appliance's drive system, allowing the mechanism to move as designed. A stretched, glazed, or broken belt can stop movement or cause slipping and noise.

• Transfers motor power to the drive system for proper operation
• May cause no movement even though the motor runs or hums
• May produce squealing/chirping or a burning rubber smell
• Visible belt wear can include cracks, fraying, or glazing
• Intermittent slipping or reduced performance under load

• Disconnect power before servicing; shut off gas supply.
• Access the belt through the designated service panel; note the belt routing before removal.
• Inspect pulleys and the idler/tensioner for wear; replace worn components.
• Align and tension the new belt, then hand-rotate to verify tracking before testing.
