DV350AERXAC Samsung Dryer - Instructions

I YouTube it and there’s a step by step process on how to do it, took maybe 30 mins. If I can so can you

I purchased wholesale heater element with sensors. Couple wires and bolts to attach. Trickiest part is disassembling the dryer to remove the old heating unit. You-tube it; it's gold.

Separated the outer door from inner door, removed glass globe. Replaced the seal

Reassembled

Removed the old hoses and screwed on the new hoses.

I firstly over-ordered parts. The general guidance is check one part and replace if bad, then check the next, etc. I only wanted to do the disassembly once so I ordered all the parts which were involved with generating heat. Turned out the heater duct assembly came with the thermal fuse and thermistor already installed, in addition to the heating element. Once I had the parts, I watched the video which was identified in my parts order. Then I started disassembly. I put screws from each step into their own little container so there was no mixing them up. Everything went exactly as shown in the video, except for the front panel containing the control board. My dryer was slightly different, but still easy to get out. When I had the drum out, the heater duct assemble was easy to remove, one screw only. I transferred connecters from the old duct to the new one-at-a-time to make sure there were no mistakes, then installed the new one with the single screw. Re-assembly went quickly. I plugged it in and, with some hesitation, set it to a short timed cycle and started it. After a few minutes, I hit pause and stuck my hand in the drum and it was warm! The dryer has continued to work since. Repair successful!

Dryer was pretty easy to disassemble. The video helped, especially when re-routing the drive belt. Would definitely but from Parts Select again!

Followed the video on the website and finished it in a short time. Now it works like a new dryer.

It started off as supposed to be 5 minute job but took about 4 and a half hours (most of the time was vacuuming and cleaning the lint from inside the dryer as there was a lot of dryer lint built up including on the heater coils which the lint was charred black. So I went to install the cover filter and spring like in the video but my finger are larger so the spring fell off the ear/tab and fell down into the lint trap chute and into the flywheel that turns the drum so I had to remove the top and front of the dryer to retrieve the spring. That’s when I found even more lint but in the process of removing the front of the dryer I noticed one single screw holding the rear lint cover onto the dryer and so I removed that and pulled it out then with that rear cover in my hand I installed the cover filter and spring then reinstalled it. The video shows you to only remove the 3 screws to remove the front cover and then to stick your hands in the tight space and get the small spring and cover filter on and snap them into place. But if after you pull out the front cover then you will see a screw in the middle on the front side of the drum that is the the only thing holding g the rear cover in place just unscrew that and remove that cover and then you can replace the spring and cover filter and then you can put it back in and screw it back into place and then you won’t run the risk of dropping the spring down the chute like I did. If I did this trick it would have only taken me within 2 minutes to change the part...on a side note after finding all the lint I did, I would recommend taking the front and back of the dryer off and getting in there with a vacuum and cleaning it out once every year or two which will save you from a potential fire.

Follow the video instructions.

Thank you
partselect.com for a much better heavy duty belt than the original. Way over priced, but well worth it. After watching the video & following it step-by-step, I now have a perfectly running dryer. P.S. don't forget to plug back in the (3) wire harnesses. The entire experience was a great feeling of accomplishment. Thanks again partselect.com

I would like to direct the attention to PartSelect instead of my repair. They were awesome in helping me to get my parts. I had called, a few minutes after the deadline for overnight shipping, the gentleman helping me, pushed the order through and I got my parts the next day, allowing me to repair my dryer. I have ordered several parts, for several different appliances, (all Samsung) and PartSelect has always come through for me. Excellent Customer Service!!
P.S. Don't buy Samsung appliances unless you want to get good at repairing them!

Turn water off at the inlet valve of hose you are replacing. Disconnect inlet hose the washer and let water drain out in a bucket. Then remove old hose. Replace new hose to inlet valve then washer . Use pliers to tighten both ends. Turn on water to check leaks at both ends of hose.

We unstacked our washer and dryer and needed dryer feet again.

I still had to take it apart there was a small sock stuck in the fan that blowes the lent out my wife left the lent filter out one time. Your video was a great help. I'm a mechanic and it was easy thanks Anthony Ratto Tulipbike82@aol.com
