Typically, dryers are malfunctioning due to a violation of optimal maintenance. Cases of factory defects are quite rare. It goes without saying, even a super reliable appliance needs maintenance or repair when time passes. As a rule, the cause of such a malfunction, when there is no air heating, is the failure of the heating element. This is the main heating element of the dryer. It gets loaded the most during the cycle. Often, it overheats because the owner tries to dry too much linen and overloads the machine. In fact, a faulty temperature sensor, electronic error or simply power surge may lead to failure of the heater. If you are sure that the heating element is defective, replace it. Disconnect the power cord and then disconnect the Samsung dryer vent by loosening the band clamp on the vent hose with a screwdriver. Remove the two screws located on the back of the top cover with a screwdriver. Slide the top cover off the dryer and place it off to the side. Removing the top cover, take off the two guide screws with a screwdriver and then pull the six clips from the guide panel. When the two wires connecting the panel to the dryer will be disconnected, you can start removing the front knob from the panel. After that, place the panel off to the side. Open the front door to the dryer and remove the filter. Place the filter off to the side. Remove the two screws in the front of the dryer panel. Remove the four screws from the front plate and panel. Lift up on the front panel and set it off to the side. Remove the six heater terminals from the heating element. All of the terminals have different connectors so you cannot plug them back in incorrectly. Remove the mounting screw from the back of the heating element, pull the element out of the drum and then remove the four screws that hold the thermostat into the element. Secure the thermostat to the new heating element with the four screws. Slide the heating element into the drum and secure it with one screw. Place the front plate back onto the dryer and secure the plate to the panel and to the drum with the screws. Reconnect the control unit's electrical cables, snap the control unit back into place with the clips. Secure the unit with the fasteners and slide the knob back into place. Place the top cover onto the dryer and reconnect the dryer back. We'd like to admit replacing your Samsung dryer's heating element is a rather dirty job that involves the need for a shorty screwdriver and a tremendous amount of unwavering determination to get to the end. We highly recommend contacting a professional maintenance assistant to prolong the usable life of your dryer!
