@@nmckinlay 5-7 days for UPS, 10-15 for economy. They are ERP brand which almost is always from the OEM factory or better, when possible. The original Samsung heating elements are from China, these are North American. The rollers from Samsung usually are Chinese, and these are Taiwanese... My experience is they are either at OEM quality or above it, even. I have yet to have a single problem with using them in our store, or selling them to customers.

You forgot to mention something! If the drum rollers fail within a year of being replaced, it's likely the felt seal on the drum is too worn and needs to be replaced. Dirt is able to get past it and ruin the rollers. The hardest part was finding a felt seal that would work. I used a felt seal meant for an LG dryer in my samsung dryer and it worked just fine. The process of removing, cleaning and installing the new seal was pretty straightforward and it's lasted close to 4 years so far without needing further repairs. I'm not an appliance repairman myself, but I still have a Samsung front load dryer like this one from 2008. When the motor finally gives out, it'll be time for a speed queen.

As soon as my new repair room is done I'll be shooting the same ideas for Whirlpool/Maytag dryers. Got a NASTY Kenmore (really WP Built) that had the rear bulkhead that holds the drum shred itself in half... Horrible thing... All caused by a $10 roller wheel. Quite literally, every dryer I've seen has a nearly-similar arrangement. 2-4 roller wheels. Idler pulley which anymore wear down fast. Some like GE/Frigidaire have drum bearings and wear pads that can go bad, but its almost the same identification system: If you have a noise, the drum will shred soon.

On my Samsung dryer, I didn't need to remove the plastic panel piece (:51), and was able to slip a 17mm wrench behind the rear bulkhead, so didn't have to remove the heating element or rear bulkhead (5:23). It frosts me that Samsung didn't use sealed bearings for the tension pulley or drum rollers; it's like Samsung designs in 5 year planned obsolescence at the cost of a couple dollar parts.
