Can’t thank you enough, m’man…
PERFECT instructions!

Thanks very much for posting this!! Simple and easy to follow. Was able to
replace the bad element in our dryer ourselves! Even had the help of our
cat, who looks amazingly like yours!

sackvegas says:

Well that just saved me a few hundred bucks! Thanks. Great instructions.
Spent one evening taking things apart and the next evening installing and
putting it all back together again.

Paul Blagg says:

Thank you so much for posting this video! My two sons and I were able to
complete the remove/install in less than an hour and had my wife back to
work in no time. 

allen johnson says:

Thank you sir! You are my hero! You don’t know how much this helped me
and saved me money on a repair guy.

Clarinda Penick says:

So glad I found this! Thanks for putting it up. It was so detailed. I’m a
wife and stay at home mother of 5 children. This was the first time I’ve
ever worked on anything like this and I did it all by myself! Well, with
your help of course. Thanks again. Oh, and I found the part for $10 on
Amazon.com and it was at my house 2 days after purchasing!

Gene Collins says:

I want to add my sincere thanks for posting this! I’m not handy much at
all, however, with your help, I was able to change it out in about an
hour. Got the heating element for $16.00 on Amazon….saved approx $200
repair bill. Thanks again!

Joe Zinzi says:

Excellent video, sir. Exactly what I needed. Thank you!

Antwon Boone says:

Thanks for the help man!

richard lack says:

Can you get the spring part separately or does a whole new heating element
how it’s done?


Timothy Lewis says:

Thank you sir!

Kellen Cecil says:

I have a samsung dryer but its a different model and possibly a different
part number but I just wanted to thank you for help! Instructions were
exactly the same, and you saved me $175. 

B Swarrow says:

Thank you for posting this. Enormous help. 

D Cox says:

awesome help worked perfect.

Al Ehrhart says:

Perfect instructions. I was able to manuver the heater housing out of the
front by slightly twising it. Saved me 200 bucks! Thanks!

Tom Matlack says:

whats the part# for that element ? I have the same dryer & problem.

Shannon Scott says:

Just fixed my dryer! Without the hubby’s help or a repair guy, Woohoo!
Thank you so much for the video it was a huge, huge help! Now I just need
to figure out how to clean the pump on the matching washer lol my daughter
put a towel covered in fir tree needles and clogged it. .

Chevron Girlz says:

Thank you for the video! It was super helpful. In my dryer, I had more
wires to detach, but was pretty much right on! I do have a question. Why
was the inside of your dryer so clean? Mine was REPULSIVE. Is there
something wrong with my exhaust, or did you pre clean?

bigbucz says:

Wow great video…..were do you all buy the element from?

Derp says:

Watched the video, and replaced my heating element in 30 minutes. You, sir,
are a rock star.

Joseph Fesel says:

Thanks so much. Worked great for the Samsung DV209.

Patty Vaughn says:

TY so very much. Completed my repair for $68.11. AWESOME!

Aaron Russell says:

What the internet is for! Great video! Thank you. You are a Gentleman and a
Scholar. 

harvester1974 says:

great job helped me out ! Fyi this is the exact same procedure for an
inglis front load also 

Michael Snead says:

Excellent job! Thanks, this helped me tremendously.

mpolley says:

Thanks for the video! It was nice to see someone else has the same problem
as I did. I was actually able to slide the heating box out the front just
by flipping it after disconnecting everything. Also for future watchers of
this video, unplug everything and then get a multimeter and test continuity
on the terminals of the element, fuse, and thermal overload, easier to
diagnose that way.

thanks a lot for sharing your experience on this, really useful, now I also
noticed that the belt is falling appart but this is more complicate to
replace I guess…

Amy Palmerton says:

Thank u so much. I’m a single mom and this saved me tons of money. Great
instructor! 

Nathan Ratchford says:

Is that cat particular to the DV218AE or would a cat work for any model of
Samsung dryer? Also, unlike my typical experience, I notice reassembly was
REMARKABLY faster than disassembly…
