Model Number: DV328AEW/XAA
Brand: Samsung
Age: 1-5 years
Hi. I have a 4yr old Samsung DV328AEW/XAA that stopped heating 5 months ago. Everything else on the dryer worked and there were no error codes. I verified the heating element was good (9.8ohms) but the thermostat was open instead of continuous, so I replace it (DC96-00887A). I also cleaned out the little bit of lint in the dryer since I was inside.
The dryer worked great for two months and then the same thing, the new thermostat failed and was now open. So I replaced it thinking maybe I got a defective part, the next new thermostat died within two days after installing it. So I thought maybe the heating element had a hot spot even though it checked out good, so I changed out the heating element (DC47-00019A) and the bad thermostat and we were working again. Now 3 weeks later, it's not working again. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
