Samsung 4713-001199 Dryer Light Bulb OEM Part

Replaced blown thermal fuse and while I had the dryer opened, I also replaced the thermistor & thermostat. I ordered the parts from appliancepartspro.com that were shipped within 24 hours. Dryer is now working again.

Ordered the dryer gas valve and installed it.

I ordered a new light cover and light bulb. I received items in a couple of days and replaced them in less than 3 minutes.

I tested components with multimeter. The thermal fuse indicated no continuity. After replacing the thermal fuse and reassembling the dryer, the unit ran normally. Due to the age of the dryer (6 years), I replaced the drum belt and light bulb while the unit was disassembled. Drier disassembles easily. Metal can be razor sharp, so wear work gloves. Drum belt routes easily around motor and tension pulleys if you position drum on rollers as the last step in the belt replacement. There is not enough belt length if the drum is on the rollers and then you attempt to rout the belt through the pulleys.

It was an easy disassembly of the dryer to access the interior working parts. Upon inspection I found the dryer belt shredded and laying in the bottom of the cabinet. I also decided to use my ohm checker to check all thermostats, switches, etc. while the unit was open and parts were accessible. The on line videos were extremely helpful. I ordered the parts I needed to ship overnight (our laundry was piling up and everyone complained they didn't have clean clothes to wear so I needed he parts ASAP). Parts were very well priced. Overnight shipping was as much a the parts. I followed the video to install the belt and realized the tensions pulley also came off its shaft so I went to the local hardware store for a circling to hold the pulley wheel in place. Aft that, assembly was straight forward and the dryer works perfectly.
