【Upgraded】DC47-00019A Dryer Heating Element for Samsung DV45H7000EW/A2 DVE50R5200W/A3 DV40J3000EW/A2 DV42H5000EW/A3 DVE50M7450W/A3 DV42H5200EW/A3 DV48H7400EW/A2 DVE50R5400V/A3 DV42H5200EP/A3

A month ago I would have written one of those "don't waste your money" kind of reviews because I went through two these within a month. The first one lasted a couple weeks before my wife said, "I hate to tell you this, but the dyer isn't heating." Grrr! But before I got too upset, I thought maybe I hadn't installed it correctly (it's easy to install if you have even basic DIY skills so I was fairly sure that wasn't the problem, but hey, even superman gets it wrong occasionally) Anyway, I ordered a second one and installed it. (Much easier and quicker the second time.) But then a week later, my wife said, "I hate to tell you...." So once again I took everything apart. (Way faster the third time! By now I could do it with my eyes closed.) To my surprise, the heating element wasn't burned out. A few minutes with the multi tested confirmed the element was fine, but the thermostat (not its real name, but it's something close to that) was defective. I had replaced this little thermo doohickey when I replaced the element but it had burned out. When it goes kaput, it tells the heating element not to get all hot and bothered which means the clothes don't get dry. So here's the thing: You'll see in the listing that the heating element also has three other tiny parts. Replace them all--which I did. So why did the thermostat fail? Lint! Too much lint had built up in the dryer vent line. NOT the silly Slinky looking thing that runs from the back of the dryer to the opening in your wall, but the line that runs inside the walls (in my situation) and outside. CLEAN the line. They make a cute little brush for that exact purpose. (About $20 on Amazon.) Because the hot air from the dryer couldn't vent properly, heat built up and the thermostat actually did what it was supposed to do--it failed, which sent a message to the heating element to take rest. All this is a very long way of saying this element is a great value and worth the money. It comes with some other parts so be sure to replace them. And clean your vent line.

***************UPDATE 06/21/2026******* After having this less than 3 months it went bad. It is giving me an HE error which could be the thermostat or the heating fuse. I emailed their customer support and they are asking for "pictures of the bad or damaged item" my question to them is how am i to know exactly which part is bad and do they not understand that you have to take the dryer apart and remove the drum to get to this part as this is inside and at the bottom of the dryer. this is hard to do and means i have to pay yet another technician to do that and not replace the bad component. I am very dissatisfied as their web page stated they give you a year warranty and now you have to go through hoops to take a picture. That is ridiculous and disappointing. I changed my review from 5 to 1. ***************** This is remarkable for the price, my heating element broke on my Samsung after about 10 years, I was expecting to pay way more , as I tried locally to get this, I even tried walmart and they had it for about 5 dollars more. this was a superb buy as it also came with the fuses and works as good as the original. installation was a bit difficult, but that is the fault of the dryer itself and the way it is made, other wise, straight and simple.

Item worked well, easy install. No need to pull drum either. I did the job while it was stacked on washer.

This is a complete set of components relating to the heating element in your dryer. In my case, the exhaust line that is supposed to blow the hot air inside the dryer outside of the house was clogged, the dryer overheated, and (thankfully) instead of catching on fire, the dryer's internal heat sensing fuse did what it is supposed to do and shut down the heater. There are multiple youtube videos online that will explain the process for replacing the broken part, but do yourself a favor and don't just replace the fuse, take the opportunity to remove the drum as well (you know, the part that holds your clothes) and inspect everything. I mean, you are already opening up the dryer, it is a matter of just taken out a dozen screws, more or less, and there could be more things going on with your dryer, especially if it is old enough for one component to need replacement. In my case, once I removed the drum, it was obvious that at least one of the roller that hold the drum in place had worn out. Amazon sells complete kits for that, with overnight delivery available in my area. Also, I was able to clean out the inside of the dryer, it had quite a lot of dust and lint just lying around inside it. The rollers are held in place by a large hex nut; two minutes of work on each one (there were four in my dryer) and now I've eliminated the source of that annoying squeak. The heating element kit included more parts than my particular dryer actually needed, but replacing the fuse and heat sensor (don't forget to replace the element as well!) took about fifteen minutes total once I figured out how to remove and open the metal box where those things live. I did have to replace one of the electrical connectors; the wire broke off when I tried pulling it, which was a pain, but replacement connectors are cheap and obviously the dryer wasn't going to work if any of those connectors was missing. In all, my dryer was disassembled for the 24 hours it took to identify which parts I needed and order the necessary replacement kits, and it now works like new. Don't forget to make sure your dryer vent (the one going through the wall that carries the hot air out of your house) is clear or else your repair will fail. I think more than a few of the reviewers here had bad outcomes because they just wanted to do the bare minimum and replace only the part that failed instead of checking to make sure that the cause of the failure in the first place wasn't still there. In short, don't be afraid to look at the entire mechanism while you have the ability to do so. Check twice, repair once.

I think the title answers the first question what model do you have and did it fit. It did fit my model DV45H7000EW/A2 direct replacement. 2nd question do we have the same problem. My clothes weren't drying and the dryer stopped getting hot. The machine still has display and it spun as it normally should. My heating element had a broken coil, showed up as no conductivity before disassembled and was visually easy to see once the casing was open. Both my thermal switches displayed continuity so I didn't use the new ones. There were four included two looked like direct replacements and two were completely different (I'm assuming for other models) There are a lot of YouTube videos on this some make it seem harder than it is. Buy a set of nylon trim removal tools for cars. They make popping the top open easy and don't scratch it up like a metal tool will. Also most sets or tools less than ten bucks. You do need to open the top and remove both the front cover and the support structure underneath (probably ten Phillips screws) and unhook the pulley and lift the drum out. The heater element assembly is underneath and has six wire connections, two thermal switches and the element itself. Take a picture before unhooking the wires. (The big picture is it's wired so if any component fails then no power can flow through either switch or the heating element. ) Recommend taking the heater assembly to a work bench and replacing the element and or switches there where it is comfortable to work on. Getting everything to line up isn't hard but takes a few tries (you certainly don't want to be sitting in a weird position to do it) I can't speak to longevity, but my dryer is ten years old and I'm still using it because of 23.99 in parts and maybe 2 hours of my time. Certainly beats buying a new 5-6 hundred dollar unit. Definitely recommend giving it a shot, and if you don't want to pull the trigger on parts until you know for sure, taking it apart and check for continuity first if either switch or the element has infinite resistance order the parts, if everything has continuity you probably have a different problem. If your dryer is getting hot but not drying clothes it could be the exhaust pipe is full of lint, I've had that issue in a different house on a different unit. Ordering through Amazon also makes returns really easy and the parts were cheaper here than the linked parts on the YouTube video. Good luck

Nice Kit BUT...... Lots of work to put it in and fail in less than 6 months. Granted we run our dryer like a Chinese laundromat. And I imagine just one clogged filter on a busy day is enough to burn it out. I replaced all the parts when it was just the burnt out coil as obvious. I'm gonna buy it once more and then after that I am going to find the same wire size and start rebuilding my own heat coils. It should be noted that its better it burn thru that be too thick in the coil wire and draw too much amperage thru the controls and kill control boards. With that said be happy the failure is on the lightly built side. Also I am going to twist the heat coil wire back together as a patch once before I put this next kit on and see how that works.. I really don't think it matters as long as you don't leave the hot wire poorly bound together at the repair/twist-point else it will overheat there and pull too many amps overheating somewhere in the system again.. Just thinking aloud.. -- ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS - When I put the kit on the dryer did not heat up right on first testing. I wiped off the moisture sensor under the door opening inside the dryer real good (The 2 short curved bars) and seemed to help. It also seemed like it recalibrated a bit over the first few loads. We always run ECO-SMART cycle so for what thats worth.. I don't know what's wrong now but I do recall the dryer running HOT way too long the other day and thinking it must have been cooking the clothes for 2 hours straight. Probably overheated the coil and caused a burn-thru beak in the line again.... So the real question is WHY did it just keep running that day as clearly it cooked my heater coil wire.. I have not even looked yet I just know... Something must have failed in the auto-off dry sensor system at least for a day if not the board glitching/ I hope not. I think the dry continued to dry clothes for another month before failing at this time(3/17/26). Maybe I didn't connect the moisture bars sensor wire back up with a good tight connection. We'll see when I break it down again. Uggh.. It just may not be the fault of these parts. SO I give 4 stars in good faith and for the price on everything in the kit. These devices get old. The repeated heating and swelling at connections makes them loose. Then the machine draws too many amps thru those areas which pulls too many amps thru entire systems. Then things get too hot, get low voltage failures, cost more money due to high amp draw, and have constant failures of sensors like thermistors due to heavy amp draw. TIGHTEN ALL YOU SLIDE ON COMPRESSION CONNECTIONS... BLAHH The dryer is not bad for how much we run it. But everything is made to toss these days and that pisses me off..

So far it works on my samsung and fit easily. It had two extra components that I did not use, I assume they are for other units. The only issue I had was the heating coil. The old one was connected to a ceramic insulator. Once I snapped the leads of the old one off at the top and removed them, the new leads slipped right in. Not an issue with the part, just my inexperienced. After that it fit perfectly. The only thing needed now is to see how long the parts last. For the price if it last a couple of years the parts pay for themselves.

Update to update: Upon review, I discovered that this part has a one-year warranty. After contacting the seller, they sent me a replacement part. They had also offered reimbursement, and I am very satisfied with the prompt customer service that I received from them. Update 12/09/2025: My dryer stopped heating again today. According to my pictures, I replaced this part on 12/19/2024. So it lasted just under a year. While I appreciate that I saved money on the repair, I'm not amused that it lasted less than a year. I will be buying from a different seller this time, and am considering purchasing the entire housing that is already assembled. This was a perfect fit for my dryer and was fairly easy (and fun) to replace my burned out heating element. Saving tons of money by doing it myself was also a great feeling. I will note that I have normal sized hands for a woman. Those with larger hands or decreased dexterity may find it more of a challenge working in that small space. My dryer is also stacked on my washer, so I wasn’t at floor level trying to use my hands in a small, unlit tunnel.
