Great video, my dryer was working but I didn’t have heat.

Dryer overheats, HE signal appears between 2/3 weeks, I unplug the unit and work fine for a couple weeks, thermistor, or high heat control? Maybe the main control board???

Not getting a beep from the element but other 2 are making a beep I am assuming just the heating element is bad. Any info thank you. Silly me found the break but as I said do I just need to replace the element if the other 2 react to the continuity test

@PartsDr 5 жыл бұрын

Yes it sounds like a bad heating element! You should be fine to replace just the element by itself, but it usually isn't much more expensive to replace the whole element as an assembly that includes a new thermal fuse and thermostat.

@KeizerSoze604 4 жыл бұрын

Fantastic video! It really made checking the continuity crystal clear. I wish I had gotten to your video sooner rather than the others that left me with questions. However, now that I have checked everything I do have a question. The parts all check out. The thermostat, thermo fuse and coil are all good, yet the dryer is not heating. What else could be the issue? Will replacing the heat coil assembly with a new one fix it?

@PartsDr 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Tom! If these components all check out, then next we would check to make sure the power supply to the dryer is good and that there are not any burned wires on the terminal block. If those are good then you might be looking at a bad main control board, motor, or wiring.

Hello I have a Samsung dryer front load, recently bought the thermistor from your online store, my dryer is overheating 🔥 I changed the termal fuse and thermistor and clean the air vent, but still is overheating, it works for 2 min and then is shutting off appears HE CODE 🙄 can you tell me if can be have broken heating element? Appreciate you response, Thank you.

@PartsDr 5 жыл бұрын

Does the dryer heat when you run it on an air dryer (no heat) cycle? Check to make sure the wiring from the thermistor to the main control board to good and not shorted/broken. If that is good then you may have a bad main control board.

Hello, My Ohms are reading 12.3, my Thermal switch however has no continuity... Due to this I know I need a new thermal switch, but is 12.3 ohms within tolerance or do you think that is bad too?

So if no coils are broken but the heating element plate is broken will that make my dryer not work completely? There was continuity in the element.

@PartsDr Ай бұрын

No, that will not stop the dryer from working. But it indicates that the dryer is lacking airflow and the heating element should be replaced. Try testing the thermal fuses as we show here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n72KqMZ03pmpc2w.html

From your readings that you received it sounds like you probably just have a burned out element.

@@davidebellisario5300 if the element coil is shorted the coil will be touching the frame of the element frame/housing. Normally the ceramic insulators keep the element coil suspended so it is not touching the element frame/housing.

My continuity tests show continuity on all 3, but the plate is cracked. Can this cause no heat? Heat stopped working on timed dry, but normal setting still heated. Now no heat at all. Does this sound like a control board issue?

A cracked plate would not cause it to stop heating. Check out this video for some things to check here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n72KqMZ03pmpc2w.html

@@Sean-oq3ox 14 ohms is higher than normal but probably still in the range to be good? If the power supply to the dryer is good and it is not outputting 220-240v to the heater then the main board could be bad. We have also seen the centrifugal switch in the motor go bad and cause similar symptoms.

There is no polarity to the wires so they can connect to either of the two terminals on each component. We have a video that shows the wire connections here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iZaZg8uQrK3Qgps.html If your dryer is not heating, check out this video here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n72KqMZ03pmpc2w.html
