Thomas L Greenwood , IN March 20, 2018 Samsung electric dryer (7 years old) stopped heating After watching several videos on You tube, I decided to diy repair. Originally, I ordered a complete heater assembly from the Samsung support parts system. After 10 days, they could not deliver, so I cancelled and ordered from Appliancepartspro.com. They did not have the complete assembly either, but did have the heater element and the two thermostats available and I reused the original housing. I also ordered a new drive belt since I was going to be tearing down anyway. I received the parts in about 5 days. Tear-down and assembly went pretty much as shown in the videos. There were a couple things I did a little different. First, at tear-down I marked the 6 wires connected to heater and thermostats with numbered tape tabs. I don't know how important their exact location is, but this way I was sure. Secondly, I am old and working on the floor is not so easy. So after moving the upper panel and removing the front panel, I replaced the 2 screws at the rear of the upper panel and secured the front of the upper panel to the side panels using Guerrilla Tape. Then I tipped the machine on its back using a piece of lumber or rug to protect the back. This made access to the remaining components a snap. Whether lucky or good, it fired up first try. Now wife's hero again! Read More... 11 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 2+ hours Tools: Nut Drivers, Pliers, Screwdrivers
