Heating Element Dc47-00019A

As everyone else here has said, my Samsung Dryer would run, but no heat. After some quick research on the internet I noticed that a burnt out element was a common issue on these guys, so I Amazon Primed (Aka Magic'd) me one of these bad boys.. 24 hours later, it's showed up at my front door.So, I decided to take this project on myself. I called around and was quoted about $300 for the install - Which seemed expensive, but there were very few 'Samsung Authorized' repair shops in my area, and most places wanted diagnosis fees and crap So, I figured $300 buys A LOT of beer, so I might as well try this out myself.So, on a scale of 1 to 10, I'd rate the install a 3-4. I would compare the skill set needed for this would be around that to confidently assemble a child's toy and then install a light-dimmer, since the hardest part is really disassembly and being confident that the dryer is unplugged. I actually found a video online where someone does the install from the back of the dryer, but that is not needed. The front of the dryer comes apart VERY easily. The tricky part is pulling the element box out, and making sure the thermostats get connected back properly.Quick Steps:1. Take out screws for the top (on the back of the dryer). Slide lid off.2. Take screws out for control panel. pop out. Unplug (Mine had 2 plugs).3. Take screws out for front panel (Top). Pull up slowly and out and it pops out. There is a plug here too for the light.4. Unscrew/Pull out dryer vent duct work.(Note: At this time, you can use an Ohm meter to test the element. The front two grey leads on the box will be the ones you wanna use. This will make it so if the element is not the problem, you can re-assemble and call an expert and save yourself some time)5. On the bottom right, there is a metal box. Has 3 screw's and a stand. Take out the screws, and pull out the stand. (The stand has tangs on the bottom that anchor it into the dryer. Might need to squeeze a lil to get it out.6. As you pull the box out, disconnect the leads to the element, and the two thermostats. Note the color/location of the wires.7. Have a beer.8. Open the box, replace element, and then do the steps above in reverse.Also, make sure you keep track of where the screws went. Some go into plastic, and some into metal. You don't wanna mix those up, and the metal screws can split the plastic.This is also a very good time to figure out WHY the element burnt out. Check all of your exhaust piping, and make sure the vent flap outside is not stuck/clogged (Which mine was). If there is a lot of lint inside your dryer, it's most likely a blockage issue The reason these elements are prone to burning out is the amount of airflow needed to keep them cool.Good Luck!P.s. Anyone find it aggravating that they have a ""Smart"" dryer, yet it's too dumb to tell you that the element is burnt out? Silly Samsung.

Two weeks back I noticed my drier not working as its supposed to, and after a drying cycle all clothes were still damp. A quick test revealed that there is no hot hair coming from the ventQuick test to verify if the issue is related to the heating element1) Set the heat setting to Manual Time dry2) Open the door, press the push button behind the door, and Start the dryer.3) Wait for a minute or two and check if warm air is blowing out through the vents.In my case, I had no warm air coming out, I checked on youtube, and found several videosThere is one video, where the guy removes the drum to access the heating element -> You don't have to do itThere is one video, where the guy removes the back panel to remove the heating element -> You don't have to do itI followed this video, and took almost an hour to replace the elementhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jp7Sq4OMgQ1) Remove the top cover, there are 2 screws behind the drier, unscrew it, and slide the top panel to remove it2) Remove the front control panel, probably 4 screws on top.3) Remove the door. Four screws on top, and 2 screws in the front4) Remove the support , pull out the heating element housing5) remove the sensors, and open the housing6) replace the heating element7) put it back8) pretty much follow the video.If you are unsure, take pictures before you unscrew or disconnect any electrical wires, so you know how to put it back.

Found excellent videos on YouTube on how to diagnose a Samsung dryer and this part on amazon. Combined this was an absolute life saver. My dryer stopped working two days before thanksgiving and I was able to get it up and running by the following Tuesday. A repairman would have cost me ten times as much. I can't speak for its longevity yet, but I ordered a backup just in case it fails earlier than expected. I expect it will last a comparable time to the one I pulled out (6-7 years).I feel the need to point out a particular review on here that is incorrect. They claim this product is made with thinner, cheaper wire. I measured both the old unit and the replacement with a dial caliper and found the new one to be a thousandth of an inch thicker. The electrical resistance was also dead on at 9.6 ohms. Perhaps the person who made the claim that it was thinner ordered the wrong part for their dryer? Or maybe they were shipped the wrong part mistakenly? The unit is stamped with the part # and should match the old unit. For those who are curious the wire is fifty thousandths of an inch thick.I will update this review upon failure. However, even if it only lasted a year at this price I would just throw a new one in. It's an excellent chance to thoroughly clean the dryer and inspect the other components.One thing I did notice the first time I ran the dryer was a smell, like you could smell the element heating up for the first time. It was a minor issue and has disappeared after the first load.Just an update 5 months old and still working great
