[totaltully]

Model Number: DC47-00018A
Brand: Samsung
Age: 1-5 years

Am trying to determine if its broken, getting a zero resistance right now.

Something seems to move inside when i shake the thermostat.

Appreciate the help

To check this part, you will need to unplug the dryer and remove and disconnect the wires from the thermostat. While the thermostat is at room temperature it should have continuity, if it has no continuity then it is bad and will need to be replaced.

Ryan,

Ive replaced the fuse and thermostat, but there is still no heat. The element checks ok with 10 0hms. What can one do? the control board next?

What is the model number of your dryer?

DV410AER, Samsung of course

What is the model number of your dryer?

Before working on the dryer make sure it is unplugged. Check the power coming into the dryer, make sure you have 240V. Check where the power cord connects to the dryer and make sure the connections are good. Check the three fuses/thermostats for continuity. If any of them have no continuity, they are bad. Check the thermistor using an ohm meter. The thermistor at room temperature should read approximately 10k ohms. Check the heating element for continuity and any shorts to ground. If all of those things check out, then you could have a bad control board.

Ryan - do you have instructions on changing the control board? DC92-00257A

Appreciate the help!

[Doc Ryan]

We do not have specific instructions for replacing that control board. Most control boards are pretty simple to replace. You will want to unplug the dryer and then either take a picture of the wires or transfer the connectors from the old part over to the new part one by one.
