Timed dryer cycle was stuck on 1 minute, dryer wouldn't stop running unless door was opened.
Issue was the heating element coil, which had broken in places and shorted itself out. I removed the top and front panels to expose the heating element's housing. Then unplugged, removed and disassembled the housing to expose the heating element (there are many videos online that explain the process). Once the heating element was replaced, the problem disappeared. Now the clothes are drying much faster than before. It is definitely worth getting the Samsung OEM part. Many reviews on generic equivalents were negative, despite how attractive the low price may look at first. PartSelect has never failed to impress with quick shipping and quality products.
Have to remove top panel (screws on upper back), then control panel (screws on front), then front panel and door (screws on front). Good Luck, watch for sharp edges.
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 =<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.
I originally called a repair person to come out but that was a total waste of time and money. He removed the front of the dryer claimed there was a dryer sheet causing the problem and put it back together. Never again! I watched a youtube video for step by step instructions on how to take the dryer apart. I took the front door of the dryer off, removed the filter cover and the dryer drum & belt. Removing this was simple and allowed me to see everything I was working on. With the new part in hand, I removed one wire at a time from the non working heat sensor and connected it to the new part. That way I was sure I had the right connections. I then removed the thermostat making sure to put the new one back in place exactly as the old one. I then put the drum back in place with the belt securely fastened. I put the cover back on the lint filter and placed the dryer door back on securing it in place. The dryer is now working perfectly. It takes longer to take the dryer apart than to replace the old parts.
Bulb worked for a couple days and has now burned out, filaments dangling
To replace the light bulb, I removed the screw and the cover, unscrewed the old bulb, replaced with the new bulb and replaced the cover, securing it with the small screw. It worked appropriately with normal use for a few days and then I noticed the light was not coming on when I opened the door.
I removed the cover and pulled out the bulb to find that the filaments inside are dangling and burned through. I need them replaced, please.
First I was told by the maytag repair man that the motor was shot and it would be 467 dollars to repair. Since I didn't have that kind of money I decided to take it apart to see if I could replace the motor myself. Once I had it apart I saw the part that held the motor in place was broken off and the motor was out of place causing it too shut itself off. Once I figured it all out it took about 2 minutes to replace the less than 6 dollar part! Thanks partSelect!!!
Unplugged the dryer for safety. Unattached top of dryer from door with putty tool. Took front of dryer off. Unplugged door. Took off bracket to heating element case. Pulled out case. Replaced the thermostat. Then put all back together and tested the dryer. Works like a charm.
removed the top cover, remove control panel,remove door, remove belt assy, and pull out old drum and installed new drum. Used only a phillips screw driver and took approx. 30 min. Dryer is quit and drying better.
Turn water off at the inlet valve of hose you are replacing. Disconnect inlet hose the washer and let water drain out in a bucket. Then remove old hose. Replace new hose to inlet valve then washer . Use pliers to tighten both ends. Turn on water to check leaks at both ends of hose.
