My Samsung dryer is working fine with no error codes... but no heat at all on any of the dry settings. I checked the continuity test on the heating element and the 2 thermostats that are mounted on the heating element housing. They also test fine in terms of continuity. Now - I removed those and completely disassembled the housing to test everything. Does it matter when I put them back which of the 2 terminals of each of those thermostats gets the blue wire or the black wire? I'm not certain that I have them oriented the same on the housing as when I took out the housing?

My newly installed heating element out is showing 13.3 ohms. All the other parts tested good, but the dryer still isn't producing heat. Could the resistance be too high at 13.3 to not allow the dryer to heat up?

No, it should still heat up at 13.3 ohms. There must be something else causing your no heat problem. Check into the power supply to the dryer, the motor centrifugal switch, and the main control board.

I have checked everything you stated. The element is reading 9 to 10 ohms and the thermistor is a bit over 10 ohms but drops when I touch the middle part with my finger when I have the meter attach to the ends. The thermostat and the thermostat fuse beep when I test the continuity. My element does have a crack in the middle of the frame in which the element sits on but it all has continuity. I am thinking about just replacing it all. My thermistor is reading a 10.80 but no codes. Please help

The element should be replaced if it has a crack in it, but it doesn't sound like the cause of your not heating problem. The next things to look at would be the power supply to the dryer, terminal block for burned wires, centrifugal switch in the the motor, and the main control board.

@PartsDr 2 жыл бұрын

The two power wires can be connected in either order, it does not matter as there is no polarity. If there is heat in the exhaust pipe that would indicate that it is heating because the heat has to flow through the drum to get to the exhaust.

I have checked all that you have suggested and still have blown 3 high temp thermal fuses on the heating element. I have replaced the coil even though is was not bad. There are no codes on the display. Also have checked and rechecked all sensors and they check out good. Dryer still runs just will not heat. How do I check for a bad control board? This is an awesome post! Thank you for the excellent instructions.

@PartsDr 2 жыл бұрын

Usually you have to determine the main control board is bad by process of elimination. If you are continuing to blow thermal fuses on the heating element, that could indicate either a shorted heating element or a bad main control board. If you run the dryer on an air dry (no heat) cycle and the dryer continues to heat then you either have a bad main control board or shorted heating element.

@saroumath6041 Жыл бұрын

The moisture sensor can also trip the thermo fuse. It’s located inside the drum in the front. You have to stick your head in there to see. If the drums turns blue, which means they use to much fabric softener and coated the sensor. This will cause your dryer to prematurely shut off early too. Wipe it down with graffiti remover and your good to go.

My Samsung dryer's heating element shorted out ( the heating coil wire was touching the metal frame of the heating element). There was a burn mark on the metal. The Dryer shut down and will not power up at all.. No display, No lights, No power and it did not throw the breaker. I am wondering if the whole thing is fried now? Will the thermal fuses cause the whole unit to shut down? Is there another fuse somewhere that protects the whole machine?

@PartsDr 4 ай бұрын

A blown thermal fuse does not usually act that way. There is not a fuse that protects the whole machine that we have seen. Sometimes a shorted element will damage the main control board.

It is very likely that something caused the dryer to overheat and the fuse to blow. Check the exhaust venting for any restrictions and test the heating element for shorts. Also, try running the dryer on an air dry (no heat) cycle to see if it heats up.

Have a dryer that the element won't heat. When you turn it on plugged in 120v reaches the element fine when you turn the dryer on heat and turn it on. The thermal switches have no resistance when turned off as they should. The element tests good as it has 10 ohm resistance and does not short to ground. There's no apparent physical problem with the element. There's a light blue wire running down towards the motor that seems to have a short to ground but I'm not sure if that's normal being it goes to the motor windings. Seems like I remember that motor wires will show a short to ground. The motor works great. Is there some way that the element could actually be bad anyway? What would be your recommendation to do in this situation? How can the element test good, have 120v going to it, but not heat? Anyone have a clue if the element is bad anyway or is there something else that could cause this?
