Well Mark saves the day again! Replaced the heating element couple months back and outta nowhere mom said dryer wasn’t heating again and unlike last time this time it was also randomly powering itself off! Disassembled it and realized there was a disgusting amount of dust and hair up inside the dryer and so much in the heating element u coild see some chunks that were singed black and almost went inferno on me! Tested the heating element which was fine but either the thermostat fuse or the thermal fuse (not sure which is which) blew and had no continuity so luckily i saved the old heating element unit just in case so was able to steal the fuse from that 1 and get everything back together! Turned dryer on and after only 2min i opened the door and u could feel the heat radiating out once again! Also luckily i was able to clean out the ridiculous amount of lint that was smooshed under the lint trap keeping it from sitting down in the groove properly which was letting dust fall out and collect on the inside below the drum so should be good to go now! I was worried when the reviews said these fuses can go quickly but $30 for the element off the Zon vs $250 for a Samsung replacement i will take the extra work! Was at least easy since i knew what i was doing this time!
