My son texted me this video after his dryer stopped working. I’ve got him trained now to search KZfaq before he calls me. Great content exceptionally well done. Straight to the point and eliminates the stuff you don’t need to see. I’m subscribed.

I just discovered this awesome video tonight and wanted to comment on the helpful content and awesome music. Sorry to read Bill died in 2016. Too young, but still helping from the great beyond. Thanks to Bill's family for keeping this video up! 👍👍👍 I never knew you in real life, but RIP Bill, and thank you!

Very professional, right to the point. No babbling nonsense. Very concise. Best DYI video I have ever watched.

10 seconds into this and I am thinking, new dryer 😃 good video though

Bill, you make very clear and concise diy videos! I recently had a Samsung dryer quit on me and needed help troubleshoot. For someone like me with decent mechanical yet limited electrical/electronic skills your videos are very helpful! Please keep up the good work! 🤓

Thank you. I’ve had this dryer for eight years and it has went down on me 3 times and all 3 times the part never cost over 30$ and repairs never took more than an hour. So grateful for guys like you who put the time and effort to get us diy guys going.

Thanks Bill! Your video helped me find the problem! In my case it was a bad thermal cut off, cost me 20 bucks to get back up and running. I really appreciate you taking the time and making this so much easier for all of us!

Thank you for this video, I had called Samsung. They told us sounded like the belt. We followed your video. You saved us over $200+ dollars.

I want to thank you for such an amazing video. You saved me and my husband from needing to replace our dryer tonight. We used this video and the how to replace a belt video to troubleshoot our system. We fixed the dryer without even needing additional parts. Thank you so much.

Great video. I've never really done any troubleshooting on appliances, but this made it super easy and gave me the confidence to open up the dryer and see what's going on. I have a newer model than the one in the video, but as soon as I removed the top cover I could see the belt was broken. $20 part that I can replace myself compared to a $150 service call (plus parts). THANKS!

Thank you for a professional explanation on how to troubleshoot basic components. My thermal limit was open. Found some chunks of lint obstructing the wheel. Very grateful for saving my family money during this time.

Bill, thank you, you are the man. Your video showed me how to get through the disassembly and troubleshooting, which made it so much easier for me to isolate the problem part. I bought the new part for $8 and the dryer is working like new.

Wow!! Thank You!! I just checked My and it’s the Same that you working on it and the Belt was Broken, Thanks So Much for helping People with needs and low income like me that can’t afford a technician to do this Repairs! God Bless You Always for you Videos! David from Boston!!🙏🏼

Thank you. I feel that I can at least troubleshoot what might be going on with my dryer if not actually able to repair on my own. Your step-by-step, detailed, rational and drama-free presentation was very much appreciated!

Brilliant video, clear content, well edited. I wish my videos were this good. Thanks for taking your time make a difference.

Thanks for the video Bill! I was able to use your belt replacement link to fix mine. Discovered my belt was loos when I took the top off and the only problem turned out to be the pulley spring came off. Put it back on and used the video to guide me to get the belt back on.

Awesome sauce man your video was direct to the point without silly comments and access rhetoric. One of the best informational videos I have ever seen thank you

Thx for doing this video. You just saved my family a bunch of time, money and wet laundry on a Sunday night. Thx!

Thank you for an informative and helpful video. My Samsung dryer failed twice and each time I was able to follow your instructions and fix it myself. First was the belt last May and then it was the thermal fuse this week. Both were less than $10 in parts and easy to repair after following your instructions.

You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you kindly.

Thank you. You saved our grandparents $1000 for a new dryer. Great video!

Our circuit board was different with no obvious ground wire so we were unable to check that portion. Checking the motor directly we found that the resistance was 3.6 ohm. That should have been 1.8 for the starter coil. Turns out, our centrifugal switch was stuck in the 'on' position, allowing the motor to spin, but not get started on it's own. Would never have figured that all out without your video. Thanks so much for saving us hundreds of dollars in repair.

I hate, hate, hate my dryer at this point, but after the third failure in the past 2 years, at least I know now to find "Bill Newberry dryer wont start" on KZfaq. Dude, these videos have been invaluable. Thank you so much for putting them together and making them available!

Thank you so much, u gust saved us from throwing away a 6 yr old dryer. My husband used your video as a guide and was able to figure out we had a bad thermal sensor on the blower due to me not cleaning the lint out enough. The sensor had no continuity and we used a pice of wire to bridge the sensor wires and it turned on. Now we just need to figure out where to buy the thermal sensor. Thank you so much!

All of you videos are great Bill. FYI, I picked up a set of bed of nails alligator clips through ATS ($5 a pair) I connect them to my meter leads in tight spots, or rather than removing switches to test continuity, in circuit testing, automotive shorts (with a homemade long test lead) etc. They came on my tone sender for Data/Telephony job. Invaluable when there are hundreds of wires and I just need to identify one or two pair!

Bill I changed my dryer belt while watching your video. Thank you so much for your amazing work 🙏

I'm a handy guy but have never worked on a dryer before. When my wife came asking for her hero because the dryer would power up but not start, I dug in. With the help of your videos I was able to disassemble the dryer far enough to determine that the belt had just come off the tensioner and pulley. I easily put it back on and the dryer is back to working great. Thank you for making me look so smart. :)

Thank you for saving us money. Easy to follow to change my belt, even though not quite the model.

Hey my man! Excellent video! My thermal fuse was bad. I followed your video step by step. Tested the thermal fuse as bad... Replaced it. Paid 6.07 at Amazon. I owe you. Keep up the good work!

Great video, clear to the point with excellent visuals. I thank you for not including a long intro that means nothing. I salute you sir,

Thank you Mr Bill, You were a life saver!!! My wife thanks you too!! I thought i was going to have to take my brand new dryer back to lowes i got a great deal on but it was an easy fix thanks to your guidance!!!

Great video man I'm going to troubleshoot my dryer this weekend. I'm an elevator mechanic so I know how to troubleshoot and u made it easy.

Hi Mr.Newberry.. Your videos are very helpful for technicians on the field... Make my life easy instead to pull the documents or fastrack... Thank you very much !!

thanks man. was able to see that the idler pulley was broke and replace it after watching your video. saved me from replacing my dryer or calling it a service tech for my year and a half old dryer

Awesome how-to. Followed the steps and found a defective thermal cutoff. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU !!!!!

Thanks for the great video. It helped me figure out the belt is broke and trips the safety switch.

Bill, thanks to you I was able to troubleshoot and repair my Samsung dryer. Thank you!

Thanks for the video! Great help! I'm following your videos now.

great video bill love to see your videos especially on newer appliances thank you learn a lot watching you

We fixed our dryer thanks to you! Appreciate it!

After replacing my belt to no avail, I stumbled across this video. I had to disassemble my dryer a few times but it finally works! When my belt came off it loosened the cut off switch wires. The switch had continuity but it was not actually completing the circuit. I had to bend the prongs to get the plug to seat back on all the way.

Thank you for this video! You saved me a ton of money & hassle!

Great video, had to replace my pulley but your video gave me some good insight into where and how. Thanks!

Great video Bill! That is the smoothest I've ever seen a blower wheel come off...ever. Movie magic.

Long after he has passed away, he still helps countless people. Bill should be canonized to a saint.

Clear, concise, to the point, excellent video.

Thanks great videos...I have a DV210 Samsung stack elec. Dryer that stopped working there are no led lights, sometime parts of letter or number and a small hum at times. The light in dryer works but will do nothing else. It has 220 coming into it, all thermo fuses good. I am assuming it is the main or front display control board..... replaced front display board and there was not change. Should I replace the main board. Any suggestion appreciated.

Hi this video was really amazing to help.troubleshoot step by step. Quick question, When I connect on terminal 5 and 4 on motor, I get about 4ohms during both with or without centrifugal switch pressed. Does that mean it's the motor? I don't see the 1.9ohm winding when I release it.

great video im a spa repair man 30 years i found high limit switch bad at blower tube need to get this part next

Great video! Thank you for showing how to test the motor starter coil. After watching this, I was able to determine that the starter coil in my motor was the problem! Thanks, again!

Hi Bil, thanks for the video. Does this board connected to the thermistor and controling the power to the heating element? samsung dryer keeps burning the termal fuses and I think it is the board. main board and a display board in these dryers

Thanks for the help Bill. My Dryer works fine now but a problem I'm having now that has been on going. When I start dryer the lights on control panel flash and whine is this a problem with the control board?

Wonderful video. I do not have this exact model, but I went through these tests with the exception of the first test of the overall resistance since the board is different. When I tested the motor I got 0 resistance across the windings, does this mean the motor has failed?

Hey Bill, I've spent all day watching this video (great by the way) and trouble shooting as my Dyer will not start. The Control Board test (test 1) didn't work, however the belt switch, motor, and thermal cut off all are fine. Could it be the control board? G

This video is old but still helpful today. Helped me solve my issue with dryer not spinning. Thermo cut switch.

Thank you for sharing the video of your repairs to your product. I also have a Samsung front loader washer and Samsung dryers since purchasing them brand new in 2014. I also find them very easy to work on. Thank you again.

Awesome video, thanks so much! I helped me fix my dryer (belt and pulley) with the great step by step instructions. You rock dude!

Found my belt broken on my dv409agw, this guy helped my :) thanks friend! What's the part # for a new belt?

I subscribed because you're calm demeanor plus I learned something new and I took notes thank you

Thanks to this video I found out right away my dryer's belt was snapped. Thank you!!

Fixed out dryer after we tried several fixes first. Thank you Sir!

Awesome video. Ty. I really appreciate the music that calmed my rage at my non working dryer

Hi Bill, how do you test a pcb in the samsung dryer? I saw in this video that you check between the brown wire and the yellow wire. What happen if the UI won't light up and you touch the front panel and nothing happen. can you help me with this?

Thanks for posting this amazing video. It helped me so much. I was able to rule out all the electrical problems with the machine and finally in a moment of desperation checked the exhaust motor and found a sock jammed in there. I guess the myth is true...dryers DO eat socks, mine just happened to choke on this one! Thanks again for your help!

If I could give you $20 I would. This video saved me today. Not exactly the year dryer I have but almost the same components.

Thank you so much for this video! Everything was clear and easy to understand. I was very excited that I was able to do this myself. Thanx!

Thank you so much! I went through your full diagnostic, realized it was the thermal cutoff fuse, follow your other video on how to disassemble everything and put it back together , got a new one but by that time tested the old fuse again and it worked, some bit confused, but I guess testing everything and un plugging everything and replugging everything reset whatever was the problem. So somehow it still works. Thank you again for the great instructional video.

Bill, thank you for your excellent video. At least, I should have some more pictures before calling a technician to fix my dryer.

Excellent job Bill! Very professional, clear and straight to the point.

Hey Man I love your videos !!! Quick question- I am getting 3.5 ohms on pin 4 and 5 on the motor start windings - and also 3.5ohms when hitting centrifigual switch (same) and dryer will not run- sounds like an open in motor start windings???

Bill couple of questions for you. I'm attempting to test the unit like you did at the control panel with multimeter. My particular Samsung has a little different wire hook up concerning the yellow neutral which is joined together in one plug unit along with a white and brown wire. I'm going to guess on your video unit that might be the blue and black wires? I still managed to get my multimeter in beside the yellow and the other lead (black) onto the brown motor wire. Now for my next question, my multimeter has several ohms selection to choose from. I used 200 and for whatever crazy reason its not giving me a reading at all. Have I missed something obvious or not? thanks in advance

Question: I have only 0.4 ohms when I check the main motor circuit. Since my panel doesn't have a yellow wire, I'm using the single green wire. Brown to Green gives me 0.4 ohms and Black to Green starts high and over a few seconds goes to zero and stays there. I've manually connected both the door switch circuit and the thermal cutoff sensor so as to determine if they're the problem and it appears they aren't. Given the readings, should I spend the time to disassemble and pull out the drum, or do you think it's the control board? Thank you in advance - Craig

Hey Graham I enjoyed your video very much Bill on the motor and the testing seems like I had a problem with the discharge hose overheating and caused the dryer to cut off in 10 minutes but I watched all the videos on your test and it was real great thank you very much for your expertise will probably use you in the future God bless and goodbye

Thank you. This is very helpful. In my dryer I was getting motor circuit continuity. So, I replaced circuit board, but it is still not starting. My guess is started switch may not be working. Any idea how to test starter switch?

hey Bill, having followed the steps, it looks to me like the problem is in the control board. how i go about buying the circuit board to replace. first time DIY fixer. Sorry if this seems like a silly question

awesome Bill ! YOU MAKE KZfaq THE BEST THING FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME.......:)

Bill Thank you very much you made my life easy :)

Thank You Bill ….. You saved me big time. I subscribed.

Bill. Samsung dryer motor. Should there be continuity through the motor on the two heavy red wires at top and bottom of plug in harness. One of the wires is the power source, and the other red wire goes to the heating element. I have an open when testing. Thanks

Bill, my Samsung dryer dv331aew/xaa-01 does not have a yellow neutral wire on a separate plug as you show on this newer model dryer. There is a lighter gauge yellow one that shares a plug with 3 others, but I can't find a wiring diagram online and I have no idea if I am affecting the continuity or ohms test by pulling that multi-wire plug. I have tested continuity on the door switch (the light works), the thermal fuse (OK) and the heating element (OK). The belt and tensioner are OK. So according to your procedure, it may be the mother board unit. Please advise how to determine the neutral wire to check that component.

Great video & infor, thanks! btw, wtf is that box on ur wall? Never seen a set up like that before. What is it doing?

Thank you. I worked on a slightly different model dryer but was able to follow your video and fixed it for $12. Turns out my blower housing thermostat went bad.

Thanks for the video, made me save time and money

I've used your video to take apart my Samsung dryer; I got the replacement part and am ready to put it back together. However, I've discovered that the screw for the belt cut-off switch has gone missing. Do you happen to know the size/specs of that screw? I've tried a few that I bought at the hardware store, but so far they do not work. Thanks Bill.

Great Video, thanks for sharing. I tested the motor and it has 1.5 ohm but shows the same when I activate the centrifugal switch. You say it is bad. When I connect the motor directly to AC it runs? Any idea?

Bill do you have any videos on the Samsung washing machine repairs?

Great video. Very helpful content and excellent music choice!!

Bill. You saved me ~$$$$ !!! Thanks man. If we ever meet, a cold beverage of your choice awaits.

Very good video. I found to be my thermostat that was open. Is this caused by overheating? If yes possibly there is another cause. Like a shorten resistance or something. It could also be the failure of the thermostat as well. Anyway I saw a lot of people on Amazon complaining about changing it and after the first load it burns again, they possibly have another source of problem. Can you comment?

Okay I just found your video I have a Samsung dryer model number dv337 a TRX AAA this dryer when you try to turn it on it lights up the panel but doesn't do anything. If I understand the content of this video correctly what you're telling me is that either the relay on the control board can be bad or the thermal switch can be bad or the belt breaking switch can be bad all of which can cause the dryer to not kick on and do anything at all. Am I correct in understanding this?? I don't have any experience own testing electronics and I do not own an ohmmeter however the local appliance repair place in my town will not work on Samsung appliances at!!! I would hate to scrap this dryer what do you suggest also if the heating coil has broken and is no longer a complete circuit is that enough to shut the entire machine down or will that just make the machine not??

Awesome guidance! Using my multimeter, I followed this video, plus the disassembly video, and then the reset the thermostat / thermal cutoff one, and fixed my dryer, even without parts! Thanks Bill Newberry!

Thanks for the video. I was a bit intimidated as I started to take the dryer apart, but thanks to you found out it was the thermal cut-off switch. An inexpensive repair that hopefully will keep our dryer running for a few more years!

Hi Bill, My Samsung dryer gives a hum when hit start and does not move. If I open the door and give the drum a spin by hand it will then work fine when I close and hit start. Any video on that or thoughts? Thanks!

Thank you Bill. My dryer stopped heating. This had happened once before and I had solved it with a new heater assembly at that time. I tested this time and the heater was broken physically with no continuity. I purchased a new heater assembly and installed it. After assembly, the dryer does not even turn on (display). I checked all connections and continuity of the heater assembly and all is OK. What could be the problem?

thank you so much for this video it literally cleared up a bunch of places where on I was stuck on appliance repair in general

Great information, I just subscribed man.

Incredible video. My belt tensioner switch was bad, just needed to be taken apart and blown out. So shocked that there is not an error code for this, just a blinking shirt icon. Poorly made Kenmore crap

Question: what if I get the same reading for the start coil and run coil on the motor? I get 3.5 for both, which is what you showed for run

Very smooth and informative video... Also, I'm jamming to these reggae vibes man!! Send me the playlist!!

Hello Bill, I Have a Samsung front load dryer. I saw your video. It turns on but, doesn't spin. I took the top off and the tumbler moves with the belt, the belt seem to be good. So I plug it back in and push the tumbler and it started. I stopped it with the stop button and push start and started on again. when I turn it off completely and hit start again it did not kick in. I pushed the tumbler again and it started again. What would be your recommendation on what part to focus on. Thank You Tomas.
