How to fix Samsung Dryer that stopped spinning

[@xundermyskinx]

Three years later and you’re still helping people with this video. I was amazed to find a video with the exact same model and problem as my dryer. Thanks to you, I was able to use this video to fix it and canceled my service appt for tomorrow!! Thank you so much for your guidance!!

[@MaldonadosGarage]

Hi, so happy to hear it is still helping. I wish you abundance of health, wealth, and peace of mind!

[@JustinLake]

I’ve never been much of a handyman but this video was just what I needed to fix my dryer. I saved over $160 by doing it myself. Thank you!

[@MaldonadosGarage]

Happy it helped, you can do anything!

[@Tchanson]

THANK YOU! This video saved us hundreds in fixing our dryer. I'm so grateful you took the time to make this video and share it with us.

[@MaldonadosGarage]

😀 Happy to hear it helped.

[@chrisschafer3233]

Dude, you are awesome. The wife spun the drum and caused the belt to come off the pulleys. I suspected as much and this video provided a complete picture of what I was dealing with. Great feeling of accomplishment. You got some better than real life angles and I thank you for it.

[@MaldonadosGarage]

+Chris SchaferThanks for the compliment Chris. I am glad this video was able to help you, keep up your DIY fixes!

[@lupitacarrillo5576]

Chris Schafer did it make a pop nosie

[@chrisschafer3233]

Yes. It made a pop noise when my wife turned the drum. I may also add that it is important to lay a towel around the sheet metal hole in the back of the dryer (or duct tape). I did slice up my arms a bit while intently trying to get that belt back on.

[@lupitacarrillo5576]

So what parts should I get ahead of time to fix it

[@lupitacarrillo5576]

Is your arm okay

[@thehotspot2667]

i swear, your the only one with a brain. the others want you to rip the thing all the way down , thank you , 5 minute repair

[@MaldonadosGarage]

Your welcome, happy it helped.

[@jacobmschlegel]

Thank you so much! I was hesitant to do this myself but I couldn't afford the service call fee. Ordered the part off of Amazon and had your video playing step by step while fixing it.

[@MaldonadosGarage]

I love hearing this, this is exactly why I made the video. I hope you enjoy the rest of your day!

[@israeld.l.saintz336]

@@MaldonadosGarage I change the pulley and the belt still not spinning

[@MaldonadosGarage]

Sorry to hear this. Possibly the motor?

[@israeld.l.saintz336]

@@MaldonadosGarage we I disconnected the band and push start but didn't to anything cause I think if it does motor bearing spins it means the motor is good I think but doesn't spin

[@raynavarro1078]

Maldo, Thank you so much for making this video! It was perfect my dryer went out in the middle of this pandemic and I thought no one is going to come out to repair this thing. I checked KZbin just in case I got lucky and your video was second one I saw. I followed it step by step and I got it done! Thanks for taking the time to film and share this with all of us.

[@MaldonadosGarage]

My pleasure, glad it was able to help you. Hope you have a great weekend.

[@robertmelendez7804]

I was about to take the front apart but now I know I can get to the pulley assembly through the back side much easier and I can clean the vent tube as well. Thanks, nice clear video angels too. Good job.

[@JoeySorge]

Thank you so much! You just saved my $300. My dryer wasn’t spinning. Looked inside and the idle wheel popped off. Put it back on as per your video and my wife looked at me in amazement! Thanks for the help!

[@MaldonadosGarage]

Freag to hear you got your machine up and going! Glad it helped get some points with the wife!

[@TheLwnoll]

Thanks for taking the time to make this and share. Like everyone else you saved my family some money by avoiding a service call and saved us a trip to the laundromat. Instead of using the $75 to fix the dryer we're raising a glass and some Dominos pizza in honor of your generosity and good will. We'll pay it forward..

[@MaldonadosGarage]

Great to hear! Glad the video was able to assist! Cheers

[@gilbertsepeda257]

Wow, thanks you for your talent my friend, my wifey looked up your video. I thought she was crazy, but once again she prove me wrong. Save me lots of time. Many blessings, God bless.

[@MaldonadosGarage]

Happy you or machine is back up and you didn't lose lots of time or money.

[@arsenicosnapdragon3685]

Great video. I almost purchased a new dryer! I am a nurse so not mechanically inclined ...... Simple exact instructions anyone can follow. Thank you.

Very welcome. Happy you avoided a major purchase! Great job. Wish you the best! Thank you for the feedback.

Thank you so very much I haven't had my dryer working for over 6 months and thanks to you it works again !! Thank you for doing this video !

Thank you very much brother you just saved me 200 bucks and that is with a honest technician a bad technician could've easily told me that a motor or something expensive was bad with thanks again god bless you!

Dude I have no experience and u just made this video seem really easy to do I mean it took me an hour but have never done it before I was very hesitant to start.... thank u so much !!! Will follow

This video helped me fix my dryer! Thank you! If you’re ever in Toronto - I owe you a case of beer!

[@danamccaulley5255]

Thanks Maldo!!! Saw another video where the guy disassembled the machine from the front to get to that part, and thought there had to be an easier way through the back. Then there you were! Thanks for giving me the confidence to do this. Part arrives from Amazon tomorrow!

[@MaldonadosGarage]

No problem, Awesome!! Great to hear this. You will be back in action in no time! Thanks for watching, happy to hear the video helped!

[@beats617]

Thank you, we had replaced the heating element which snapped dryer worked for all of 2 months then stopped spinning. Turns out the Belt assembly snapped off hence why the drum stop spinning. Thanks a million, consider me a fan!

[@MaldonadosGarage]

Happy it helped and you are back to spinning. Thanks for watching!

[@JimBayes]

My dryer wasn’t spinning, but it turns out that the spring popped and the belt went slack. Your video got me drying clothes again in minutes. I hope good things come your way. Thank you from Michigan.

[@MaldonadosGarage]

Great to hear it was in the spring. If you didn't do so already, make sure to inspect the wheel on the idler pulley. Happy you were able to get back to drying without having to call someone out. Thanks for the well wishes!

[@kockarot6362]

You do show how this done much better than the rest I have watched. It's really nice when a diy video is well lit and has a close up view like as yours has. 🤔👍👍👍

[@LTDANusmc]

this video was exactly what i needed!! THANK YOU!! my belt had slipped off the pulley

Thanks a lot! My Samsung took a dump on us without warning yesterday, and then I found out it’s out of warranty. You saved me a ton of money!

[@noneya3504]

right on brother, another satisfied Samsung customer (yeah right!), Nice video. I replaced my belt and motor as well. for $100.

[@mgondek]

Thank you so much. My belt slipped off, and your video helped me to see how this goes back on. Great job shooting this as you go the camera into a tight spot and had great lighting.

[@MaldonadosGarage]

+mgondek Great to hear this helped you.

[@libaaxalee]

I have got newer Samsung one and let me tell you something, idle bully is facing back and can't be accessed like this one from the back, truly a pain. Glad that I could replace that and the belt less than $16. It is working like a charm again.

[@fitnessfactor3]

Thank you for detailing the belt install. You were very thorough!!!

Thank you so much!! I already disassembled the dryer from the front to clean out the lint catcher it was really dirty 😳 but your video is so great shows everything you need to fix the dryer that is not spinning thank you so much!! You are awesome!!

[@larrycolbert4584]

Watched your video, fixed my dryer following your directions. Works perfect, thanks for putting this on KZbin

[@MrKpax10]

Thank you for the video - it covered all the needed steps! Of note - we have Samsung dryer model DV40J3000EW/A2 (this is slightly older & w/o the Timer display) - our access port via the back is MUCH smaller than yours! I wish Samsung would get a clue and have access from the bottom (like dryers used to back in the day) - Access to all the required parts via a huge open area on the bottom would be a repair godsend. Again, thanks for the video!

[@MaldonadosGarage]

Thank you, glad it was able to help.

[@KungFuTiffany]

Thank you!! I finished this in about 30 mins and it cost me $20. Would have been over $200 I'm sure if I had to call a repair man. Didn't even have to bother my husband :-) THANK YOU!!!

[@MaldonadosGarage]

Great to hear.... Glad the video helped.

[@Rivetingtools]

Thank you...Extremely helpful! I bought a used Samsung dryer from Offer Up to avoid paying full price and a month later the dryer stopped turning. I’m going to try fixing it myself and post it on my channel! Will definitely give you props!

[@xVoidCypher]

I have the dv42h5000ew A3, a samsung dryer, and I rotated the drum backwards for one revolution because my sheets had balled up, as this dryer has a tendancy to do, And when I turned it back on I heard a loud pop and the blower wasnt running and the drum wasnt turning. The machine is 2 years 4 months old at the time of this posting. I was able to take the top off and look and see the belt was not broken. Thanks to this video, I was able to look at the back dryer of the dryer and pull out the vent pipe to find out the belt had come off the pulley. Everything else seemed fine. Moral of the store: DONT TURN THE DRUM..Especially not backwards. The clearance is so tight!

I replaced my idle pulley this way yesterday. It can be done this way but it a little tighter work space wise. Also a bit of advice, lay some sort of cloth down over the metal edges of the hole you are working through. Those metal edges are sharp and will cut you easily, trust me I know after three gashes on my forearms.
