DVG45M5500W ((A3-00)) Samsung Dryer

YouTube, YouTube, YouTube. I YouTubed many videos on how to take a dryer apart to reach the drum support roller and axle. After watching numerous videos, I settled on one that had my exact model of dryer. For my dryer, previous inputs said I needed two rollers to for my model. That is not the case. My model actually has 4 rollers, 2 in th ... Read more e front and two in the back. I ordered 2 initially but only needed 1 thankfully since only one roller was bad. Keep it simple stupid is how I got it done. Dryer's are pretty simple machines mechanically. Don't trash your noisy dryer. We bought ours in 2014 and it only recently started giving us issues. This is after 2 moves and being run daily for a family of 6. I'm glad I found partselect.com. They saved me a ton of money.

Cleaned the sensors from inside the drum with alcohol and that did not work. Ordered two sensors. Lift top cover. Remove screws on each of the front side that secures front cover. Unplug door sensor and pull front cover towards you and lift at same time removing from frame. I own dogs and immediately noticed dog hair and surprisingly ... Read more lint all over the place. Remove the screws from the lint trap. (Theres one you access from inside the drum.) Unplug your sensor wires. Remove lint trap. The sensors simply push in/out. While I was in there I removed the cover for the lint tube and cleaned it out good. Lint had started to gather around the fan. Reverse your process and your done. TIP: Keep your screws orderly as you unscrew them. If you have this problem, just a good cleaning of hair, lint, dirt may do the trick as it essentially packs around the plug of the sensors. I had already ordered my sensors so I just put them in. I took my time and cleaned good and it was about an hour. It could be done in 15-30 minutes easily.

I ordered twice from this site. the thermistor was the first order, the fuse was the second order. Turns out the thermistor sent was the WRONG one. When I reassemble the dryer, after 20 minutes the thermistor sent burned up to a crispy chard. The ohms on the wrong part was 12ohms. per the dryer diagnostics the thermistor should have been ... Read more =<1 ohm. I put in the original part and it worked. The fuse did the trick. the thermistor, not so much. Lesson to be learned is to not rely on this sites parts compatibility information. Look at the specs for your dryer from the manufacturer.
