Samsung Dryer Heating Element Replacement
Instructions for replacing the heating element on your Samsung dryer
Dryer is not heating, gets too hot, takes too long,
trips the breaker, or won’t stop heating. If your dryer also displays a code, see our guide to the Samsung 5E dryer error and temperature sensor overheat problem.
How does the heating element in a Samsung dryer work?
The Samsung heating element DC47-00019A works when a switch on the motor turns on. The element will then glow red and heat the dryer. When the dryer falls down below a certain temp, the element turns ON and begins to heat the dryer once again. This will repeat over and over until the cycle is complete and the clothing is dry.
Why did the heating element on my Samsung Dryer go bad?
If your dryer heating element is burnt or faulty, something else within the dryer may have caused this. Check the vent exhaust for lint clogs. A lint blockage issue can cause your heating element to burn out.
What other parts can cause my Samsung Dryer to NOT HEAT?
Check the thermostat and the high limit cut off fuse to be sure those components are not causing the dryer to not heat. See below…

I’ve tried everything replaced the coil thermostat high temp cut off and thermostat at the blower checked thermoster it’s good but still no heat.
What could be next.
BINGO!!!!!!! I didn’t see it at first. That was it.
Thank you so much.
Same problem with my Samsung dryer. Stopped heating, so checked continuity and ohms on heating element, thermostat and thermal fuse. Thermal fuse had nothing. Replaced that and it worked fine for a month and a half. Now no heat. Took unit back out and all 3 measure good ohms and continuity. No codes displayed. Any suggestions what else to try?
Pamela,
Error code HC flashing on Samsung multisteam vent sensor dryer.
Heating element issue is likely.
The heating element can be found here on this page with the 152 page service manual for the Samsung multisteam vent sensor dryer dryer model number DV50K7500EW/A3.
You can find the parts needed to fix your Samsung dryer on this page.
This service manual will also show where all the parts are located.

We have a Samsung multisteam vent sensor dryer that has stopped heating.
Error code HC was flashing on our Samsung multisteam vent sensor dryer.
We cleaned out the vent line and lint drawer.
After we cleaned vent line, a bunch of water came out of dryer vent….no clue how water got in there.
Turned dryer on today and it is running, but only cold air.
We’re thinking its the heating element.
The one linked in the article does not seem to be for our dryer model (DV50K7500EW/A3).
Looking for advice about where to purchase the heating element and if the steps above would work for our dryer.
Same problem. No lint, no clog, no voltage issue, no breaker issue, no wiring issues. I replaced heating element, thermostat and fuse. Had heat for 2 loads and then back to cold air. The meter shows continuity on new parts and also the parts I replaced. Can’t find any advice and can’t figure out how replacing parts would allow the dryer to heat up for a couple loads and be back to cold on load 3. Doesn’t make sense so many are having the same issue but we can’t find any resolution advice. Any other suggestions would be helpful.
It says to …..”Check the thermostat and the high limit cut off fuse to be sure those components are not causing the dryer to not heat”….before replacing the element. How do we check them? Ohms meter like the element? Do they discolor if bad? Or can you see a break in a fuse like a car fuse?
