How to Replace Samsung Dryer DV210AEW/XAA Heating Element DC47-00019A for less than $40

[@mikebrackett3611]

Thank you so much for your detailed video on how to replace the heating element. I followed your directions step by step, ordered the same heating element kit you did from Amazon, and successfully replaced the unit. The only thing I could not do was to put the heating element back in without removing the drum. I was a little apprehensive about this but was able to do it successfully. Bottom line...we're drying clothes again! Thank you, Micah, for literally saving me a few hundred $$'s on a repair bill and even more if we decided to buy a new dryer. Very appreciative of you taking the time to post this information. 🙂

Thanks so much for the feedback! This is exactly why I make these videos! I love helping people save $$$!

Thank you for this video!! We have the same dryer & our heating element went out. Hubby successfully replaced the coil thanks to your video!

[@MicahMartinDIY]

You're welcome! Glad I could help. Thanks for letting me know!

Thank you for this video. First-timer, completed in less than an hour!

[@MicahMartinDIY]

Great job! Glad I could help!

[@kilananderson6027]

Thank you for the video!! Just finished changing out the heating element on the dryer! Never been so excited to do laundry in my life! 🎉

[@MicahMartinDIY]

You're welcome! I'm so glad that I could help!

[@johnnales6195]

Thanks for the video, very well explained!!!!! People, this is an easy repair: Phillips head screw driver the only tool you need…. Kit cost me $100 from local appliance parts store, saved hundreds in labor…. Time to repair:45 minutes.

[@MicahMartinDIY]

So glad I could help! This is exactly why I make these videos!

[@Runoft]

You explained each step very well, we just replaced ours with help from your video. Thank you!

[@MicahMartinDIY]

Great to hear! That’s why I make these videos!

[@MHobdy1]

Just did mine, parts were from Amazon though, we’ll see if they last. Your video was quite helpful. Much appreciated! We’ve both done a good deed today!

[@MicahMartinDIY]

Glad to help! My parts were from Amazon too and so far so good!

[@pappysminions]

Good job! Btw...the slot in the bottom of the filter tray box is for the filter to lock into when it is installed.

[@MicahMartinDIY]

Good to know, thanks!

[@cdionne07]

Your video was very helpful! Easy to follow and understand. Thank you for taking us on this journey, because of it, I now have a functional dryer again!

[@MicahMartinDIY]

Thanks for the feedback Chris! I'm so glad I could help. I love hearing from people who have saved $$ due to my videos. That is why I do them.

[@mickangelo2024]

Thank you so much for making this video! I just replaced my heating element in the exact same dryer. You are a lifesaver!

[@MicahMartinDIY]

I'm glad it helped!

[@natesalmonsen272]

This video helped me a lot!! Thanks for posting. Our dryer is back up and running good as new!!

[@MicahMartinDIY]

Good to hear Nate! Thanks for letting me know. So glad I could help!

[@1987damoose]

Great video tutorial. This is the second time I've replaced the element in mine, but certainly needed the refresher course. Just FYI, the two screws that are different on the face of the dryer is for swapping the door to the other side of the dryer (it's ambidextrous). 😀

[@MicahMartinDIY]

Glad I could help! Nice call on the door swapping screws, that makes sense!

[@matthewnguyen-14722]

Thanks Micah! I have an exact model as you have. Just ordered the part. Hope it works out for me. I have this dryer since 2010. Will update when I finish the replacement.

[@MicahMartinDIY]

Thanks! I hope it works for you. Take you time, there are a lot of sharp edges in there! Also try to clean all of the lint out while you have it open. After 13 years, I'm sure you have a lot of build-up.

[@KaylaSeliner]

Thank you for the awesome video! I just fixed my brothers dryer 🙌

[@MicahMartinDIY]

Heck yeah! Glad I could help!

[@brianwalker9460]

Good video I have same dryer been a good dryer I ordered and changed mine out 40 bucks maybe it goes another 8 years . Thanks

[@MicahMartinDIY]

Fingers crossed! Glad I could help!

[@kenkulpa7941]

Video was great help - had the exact model Samsung - got parts overnight - hope they last.

[@MicahMartinDIY]

Glad I could help! Good luck!

[@MrJtaylorj]

Thanks! Exactly what happened to ours. Parts on order!

[@MicahMartinDIY]

Glad I could help! Good luck with the install! Oh, and watch those sharp edges.

[@MrJtaylorj]

Part came yesterday. Installed today. The only issue I had was my mistake: I forgot to reconnect the door sensor! Heating now and my wife thinks I am a genius!!! Thanks again for a very thorough video.

[@seemeknowmore]

Followed your steps worked perfectly. Great video. Thanks for taking the time to make it.

[@MicahMartinDIY]

So glad that I could help. Honestly I do it for comments like this. I love being able to help people save money.

[@Karen-dc9xc]

Great explanation. What is the trick to releasing the tabs from under the dryer that connect the metal housing under/ in front of the heating element. The unit is loose, but can’t get the carriage free because of the tabs. I’m ready to bend them. Help please

[@MicahMartinDIY]

I had to bend mine. It's okay if you do, they easily bend back into place.

[@Karen-dc9xc]

Thank you!!

[@BradThada]

Good news and bad news. The good news is your video was great and got this replaced with no issues. The dryer wasn’t heating and now it is! The bad news is my wife now has her eyes on a new washer and dryer anyways! Lol

[@MicahMartinDIY]

Ah dang. Good luck with that Brad!

[@crawlerx1818]

Great video appreciate the step by step it was very helpful

[@MicahMartinDIY]

Glad I could help!

[@shankil2975]

Hi. Thx for the video. I did this 2 years ago with the drum removed for easy access to heating element. This time I tried your way and got stuck when trying to get the heating element out. Even if I managed to get it out, I did not see how you put it back where the circular end of the heating element enclosure has to fit in the back with tabs - which one will be doing blind (can't see the back) I very much would like to do this without removing the drum. Can you explain how you were able to align the backend of heating element enclosure and get it fitted?

[@MicahMartinDIY]

Mine heating element housing went in very nicely and I was able to align it by feel without removing the drum. Good luck!

[@shankil2975]

@@MicahMartinDIY I had to phone a friend and he was able to pit the element back in a couple of min. It is tricky but if you can pull it off, saves a ton of time removing the drum. Excellent video

[@TheGaboon01]

Make non stick. You are doing good. I fixed my own!

[@MicahMartinDIY]

Sounds good! Glad I could help!

[@tomlung1589]

Just changed mine out. Great insight to save time. Thanks

[@MicahMartinDIY]

Glad it helped!

[@bigmuskie10]

Great video! Thanks for taking the time to post!

[@MicahMartinDIY]

You bet! Glad to help!

[@MichaelLee1587]

Great video. I have the same dryer and I got everything apart, but I couldn't get the heating element to detach from the back and pull out. Any advice on what I should do to detach it?

[@MicahMartinDIY]

It has some tabs that hold it in. It's okay to bend that think metal if needed. It will bend back.

[@MichaelLee1587]

So come to find out the stand wouldn't come out because it was screwed into the heating element shell and the shell wouldn't come out because it had a screw into the bracket at the back, were they supposed to be screwed in?

[@MichaelLee1587]

The blue wire is also fried and come to find out it's missing screws...I bought this used a few years ago

[@MichaelLee1587]

You wouldn't happen to know where I could get that replacement blue wire that connects from the thermostat to the heating element? I went to Lowe's and they were of no help.

[@jonlewis4443]

Thanks for the video, saved me some $!

[@MicahMartinDIY]

Good to hear! That's why I do these!

[@SabrinaGravel]

Ok this gave me the confidence to try it out myself! I notice the « cooling » light is still on even after you’ve replaced the element. Mine is not producing heat and the « cooling » light stays on, but I thought this was some sort of error code. Shouldn’t this display change once you’ve fixed the issue?

[@MicahMartinDIY]

I'm glad you are tackling it! No, "cooling" is a feature. It cools the clothes down by blowing unheated air at the end of the cycle while continuing to spin. This way your clothes wrinkle less from being left in the dryer.

[@c0pyimitati0n]

Does it matter which direction you install the new fuses? I don't see any markings for + or -

[@MicahMartinDIY]

No, fuses have no polarity.

[@lanep4322]

Thank you for posting this video!!!

[@MicahMartinDIY]

Glad it was helpful!

[@InfiniteCheeto]

Im having trouble removing the power clips from the heating assembly...any tips?

[@MicahMartinDIY]

I used needle nose pliers. Hope that helps!

[@InfiniteCheeto]

Got everything installed and now there’s heat. Is it expected to be a “new coil smell”?

[@BlueYodaTex]

Amazon parts are crap, cheap but crap. My brother in law replaced the thermistor and heating element with Amazon parts. Replaced the thermistor when he gifted me his dryer and now I am having to replace the element in less than a year!

[@MicahMartinDIY]

Oh man, that sucks! I hate having to redo stuff. I would definitely pay close attention to the reviews when buying from Amazon.

[@BlueYodaTex]

Amazon doesn't care about quality control, they just care about reviews. Most people that post reviews do it within a week of their purchases. If the product is going to fail it will be in the first 3 to 9 months after they've already posted there good review. Amazon maybe cheaper, but my time and the downtime of whatever appliance I'm having to work on is worth more to me. Reputable appliance repair stores carry most parts you will need, but if not ask about a reputable dealer you can order from. A little more money saved a lot of down time and your time of having to replace parts again and again.

[@aaroncress1119]

Thanks for video, very helpful!

[@MicahMartinDIY]

Glad I could help Aaron!

[@strawhat2972]

For some reason, my dryer had a LOT of lint buildup within my lint trap, so I opened the lint trap ( I didn't unscrew anything or take open the actual dryer) and it smelled bad ever since? Any tips

[@MicahMartinDIY]

I'd start with a good brushing. Search for dryer lint brushes on Amazon. Then I'd go ahead and clean your vent. You can DIY that one too. If you have a cheap flex hose, just replace it. Lint build up in the folds and can cause moisture to stay there and have odor.

[@Darus2013]

Replaced the sensors and element.. but still no heat any thoughts?

[@MicahMartinDIY]

That is very odd. In my experince, the heating element is what goes out most commonly. Is the blower running?

[@Darus2013]

@@MicahMartinDIY yeah it runs, just never kicks in the heat, replaced 4 sensors and the heating element as well.

[@walter91lopez]

You shouldve put how you wired it back up i had disconnected everything before you said to take a picture thinking you would show it 😢

[@MicahMartinDIY]

I'm sorry about that! I hope you got it working!
