Samsung Clothes Dryer Heating Element DIY Repair - No Heat & Noise Fix

I take apart a Samsung Model #DV42H5200 Dryer which is not heating at all, do the replacement of the heating element and put it all back together. While I have it torn apart I also fix a vibration which is creating a noise while cycling.

DC47-00019A is the replacement part number of the heating coil and sensors which I got from Amazon.

Imagine if everyone that watched this awesome repair video gave you $1.00. I mean seriously, how much money did you save for all of these that had the same problem?
Edit-I’m sure we can all chip in a buck! Where’s the link for the TY Tutorial?

My dryer stopped working about a month ago and of course I googled why my dryer wasn’t heating anymore and came across this video and I was like 🤔 let me try it. I am a 29 year old, single mother of 3 and buying a whole new dryer would put me in a tight budget for the next couple of months so buying one was definitely not the route I wanted to go. Ordered the part on Amazon, 4 hours later (I struggled a bit cause I don’t got tools but a screw driver 😅) my dryer works again!!! So proud of myself!!! 😅 thank you so much for the video!!! ❤

My dryer shit the bed again and my wife left me. After watching this video a second time and repairing my dryer I ended up hooking up with her sister and my life is better! Thank you so much man

*** ATTENTION EVERYONE *** THIS IS THE VIDEO TO WATCH!
THANKS FOR THE DETAILED VIDEO! In my case, the Heating Coil did not show obvious break. Replaced Heating Coil... No Heat. Disassembled again, replaced 2 Sensors on the side of the Heating Coil. COINCIDENCE OR NOT.... Right before putting front panel (door), I NOTICED MY BLUE WIRE TO THE HEATING COIL WAS NOT CONNECTED. Reconnected, reassembled dryer... Plugged in, Flipped breaker back on, TESTED DRYER... YAY HALLELUJAH I HAVE HEAT!!!!
I watched many other videos... YOURS IS THE BEST!

Just today I followed your instructions to the T and replaced the heating element. It works!!!, saved hundreds of dollars and my husband thinks I'm totally rad finger cuts and all. Thank you!

[glenndiaz]

I swear this video is predestination of everything to come.
My dryer (exact same model) stopped heating. Followed your instructions and everything was the same… coil broken in the exact same spot and I cut my finger exactly the same too.
Great job.

Sir, you are a God send. This video deserves 1 million views!! Here I am, a mom of 2, hubby is at work and I decided to take this upon myself. Thank you!!

This video legit helped my husband replace our heating element! Saved us $700+, only spent $30 on amazon! 👏🏼 applause to you great video! Thanks for posting

[cookiecarder]

Watched this video to replace the element in my dryer as well. Saved me a boot load of money doing it as well! I think most everyone cut their finger in the exact same spot: I did! It was still worth it! Thank you for the help!!!

[NewShockerGuy]

Thank you for this video!! I have a similar Samsung dryer that stopped heating. I was expecting a rather large repair bill by calling someone since I never worked on a dryer before...

Sure enough the heating element wire was broken so that's why there was no heat. This is an excellent video and broke down everything that needed to be done in order to get to the heating element. I TOO cut my hand! Lots of freaking sharp edges once you open the dryer up!

I ended up replacing the entire heating element assembly only because it was $20 more than just the bare wire heating element and I figured at 10+ years old, might as well get new everything which includes the thermal switch and thermostat that are built into the heating assembly housing unit. (Unbolt the entire assembly and bolt new one in, connect everything- done)

Videos like this make YouTube great! I'm actually surprised at how easy this job was!

I wanted to send you a few bucks as my way of saying thanks. You have no link. You really helped me fix my dryer. My screws were harder to remove, but i got the job done. A little wd40 on the hidden screw and using the slip function on my electric screwdriver helped ease stubborn screws out without stripping them.

Very helpful. I lost a leg on my incoming power, ended up being a fuse out on the street. 1/2 of my house worked, 1/2 didn’t and my dryer sounded like a 1950’s car trying to start and made all the remaining lights that were still working do a flicker. My dryer had problems right after they fixed the power. Turns out my element melted. Being a single mom of 2 middle schoolers is hard to just buy a new dryer and cloths line drying is hard in an apartment. Thank you for posting this video, it saved me more than you will ever know

[nicolewatkins]

This video was very helpful! I replaced my heating element with no problems after watching this video like 10 times, lol. AND I didn't cut myself! Thank you.

[alexsantiago]

Thanks for the great walk thru. Perfect storm this month with life and the dryer breaking was the cherry on top. Figure

For those taking this repair on, *MAKE CAREFUL NOTE OF WHERE SCREWS GO WHEN TAKING APART THE METAL COIL HOUSING. THERE ARE SOME SPARE HOLES THAT DON'T REQUIRE SCREWS* but they seem like they should. I made the mistake of putting some in the spare holes then panicked when i was missing 4 screws and had to take it apart and watch the video again.

Besides the user error, video saved me some doe. And knowing the scam repair people around these parts, possibly a new dryer. Good luck yall!

[underrun]

Great video, very helpful. Thx Melvin!

I am in the process of doing it and have 2 tips:

1. you can remove like 4 screws that secure the right wall of the dryer to loosen it a bit. That allows you to pull the heating element out easier. That method worked for me.

2. wear work gloves. Almost everything you touch inside of this dryer is sharp!

This video saved our family from having to fork out a ton of money. Thank you! And I only have 3 cuts on my hands from replacing the heating element

[juanvmanable]

Thank you for your video!!!, mine went out again after having it repaired few years back. Thanks again for the great indepth video. Warranty expired... $35 part on Amazon. Saves me over$350 repair. Thank again.

[michaelmarz]

I had the same exact problem. The heating coils could have been designed to be more durable. Great video. Wow, those rear screws were a pain, but doable. Also, thanks for explaining the rattling sound!

[mmartinez]

2024 here & this video is still very helpful. It got me to checking why my dryer wasn't working took it apart & sure thing same issue. Thanks for the video & the step by step, it saved my family $$$.

[AllenRReid]

Took me longer than I thought, but it worked! Thanks so much for your in depth video...there’s no way I could’ve figured it out myself.
