Samsung DC96-00887C Dryer Thermostat Bracket Assembly OEM Part

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!

So our dryer stopped heating. Did some research on what the problems could be. The most likely thing was that the thermal fuse went out. Disassembled the dryer which was not hard and tested it and found it was bad. I went to the local appliance store and got a new one…$30 bucks! I installed it and the dryer worked for 2 loads…then stopped heating again. Did more research and found that the actual reason it was blowing was the dryer thermistor was actually the reason the thermal fuse was blowing. When I tested it there was about 14 ohms. TOO HIGH! Discovered that the ohms at room temp should be at 10. Ordered parts on line this time because I was not going to overpay and installed the new parts. The dryer is now fixed! So if your thermal fuse goes out and the vent is clear, the heating element is not broken or touching the metal box it sits in and the temp switch is working….replace the thermistor also. I am not a dryer mechanic but I watched some youtube videos to accomplish this task. It was easy and saved a ton of money.

I determined that the heater assembly was the issue. I purchased a multimeter with an auto-read function. I then pulled the heater assembly parts out through the vent gate and tested the thermostat, thermal fuse, and heat coils for conductivity. The thermal fuse was the only part that did not set off the meter. I ordered the thermal fuse from AppliancePartsPros.com, however I quickly realized I only ordered the fuse and not the entire fuse assembly. I contacted AppliancePartsPros.com through chat and they quickly fixed the issue. The part arrived in two days, I screwed the new thermal fuse in, reattached the wires, and had clothes drying in a matter of minutes.

A month ago I replaced the heating element in a Samsung Dryer, everything was working great, then it stopped heating again. I disassembled the dryer again thinking g the heating element had quit working again. After takining it apart again I found the element be still intact and okay. On the side of the elheating element housing are two other parts (1) the thermostat and (2) fuse assembly. I noticed the fuse assembly had a melted spot on it. I used a multimeter to check the contunity found it to be open. I replace the fuse assembly and went ahead a replaced the thermostat. I also replace the vent hose due possible airflow restriction. Put everything back together and dryer is working great. I am going to check the vent hose monthly, and keep it clean and free of any debris which will help with airflow and keep the parts working properly. Hope this helps.

I went on line and to get info on what to do, which was to test the 3 components on the heating element assembly. No reading on the thermal fuse indicated it had blown. That and cleaning out the vent system (which is to be done yearly) solved the problem. I thank God that the fuse blew or the lint would have caught fire. CLEAN OUT THAT VENT YEARLY
