My Samsung dryer (model DVE50M7450W/A3) which was 5 years old stopped heating. This kit was a fit for it and was 5.5 times cheaper than a Samsung replacement ($35 vs over $200 from Samsung). And it included thermostats, thermistors, jumpers and other items the control the heat in your dryer, which the Samsung one didn't. Essentially 1 kit and you can replace all the components that electrically affect heating. If replacing all components, it's best to pull out the vent tube (1 screw) in the back of the dryer which allows much easier access to the back screws on the heating element box. Just unscrew it and pull out, super easy. I replaced all components (tested first and all were good). Took about an hour, but I'm handy. If your not take your time, it's not hard to do and you will prevail. Lots of videos online to help (regardless of model number, they're all basically the same).Reassembled and tested it, and sure enough it got hot again. I did notice a faint "burning" smell when I first tried it, but that's probably just the "new" burning off the coil. Didn't happen the second round (each was about 5 minutes). Then I did laundry. Before it completely failed and for years a standard load of laundry took about 1:15 hours to dry. My fist load since fixing it took ~40 minutes to fully dry. Very impressed and since I replaced all the heating components, should be good for a while now.If you have a few basic tools (screwdrivers, especially a short phillips one and a flashlight), this is actually quite easy and will save you a ton of cash over hiring an appliance tech to come out and do it! Just remember to unplug it before doing anything!I'm impressed with it, but I've only used it a couple times. The longevity will tell the real story, but it seems just like the original one, actually a bit more robust, so it should last quite a while. All of the included thermocouples, thermostats and thermistors work perfectly as well, but always check them with an ohm meter just in case (if you have one). Wear gloves too, some of the metal inside the dryer is sharp and will cut you easily.I'd give this 5 starts no problem since it works out of the box. Again longevity will tell the real story but I'm very confident it will outlast the original one. I tested it and it's better. Dryer gets a little hotter and dries faster (saving electricity). Essentially it will pay for itself in a couple months based on electricity savings alone. And for $35 versus a tech at a minimum of $450, for a simple job, it's a no brainer! Many Samsung, Kenmore, Maytag (and other) dryers use the same item, so just do it yourself and save the $$!

When our 8+ yr old dryer stopped heating in July last year I just knew I would have to replace. My husband watched a couple of videos and thought he could fix it. Found this part, got it next day and he went to it. Fixed in about 30 minutes. Dryer was working! So happy we didn't have to purchase a new one, especially since we were just getting back from vacay and broke. Fast forward to July, this year, I thought I kept forgetting to turn the dryer on. Nope. It stopped heating....again. I was sure it was RIP to the dryer since I knew the elements last longer. Because I have the "howhardcanitbe" gene, I ordered it again. Came next day again, watched a video on YT, and fixed it myself in about 45 minutes. So extremely happy this product was easy to install and a price was affordable vs. having to buy a brand new dryer....againNow,"A heating element shouldn't go out that fast" is what I know you're thinking, or "Why the Headline?" so, I will elaborate.Since I knew when something gets hot and is pushing air, it's probably clogged, and since I knew I had been paying people to do this, I decided to do some research. I normally have a dryer vent cleaning company (ies) come out once a year to clean the vent. In the past, I would just google and hire whoever was having a special or service was discounted heavily to their counterparts. Found a company (Homesafe) that was way more expensive but that's ALL they do, so hired them. Came out, showed me what he found, approved the job and went to work. It took him over an hour to clean it out. He said he could see where it had been cleaned out previously, but only went up about halfway. The top half was so clogged and jammed with lent and debris he mentioned (and showed me) the top half of this vent probably hasn't been cleaned out in 20 yrs. (OMG). Said there was about half an inch left before completely clogged. He said we were "lucky the house didn't burn down" The amount of lent that was clogging my vent could of easily started a fire. Had it not gone out the yr prior and then again a yr later, I would have never thought it was my vent since I thought I was doing my homeowner maintenance. (Cheaper isn't always better) This part saved us from 1; having to buy a new dryer (probably more since it would've probably gone out as well) and 2: our home, belongings, memories, fur babies and most of all...our lives due to a fire that could have been easily prevented.

Our Samsung dryer is nearing16 years but still going strong. I had replaced the belt last year and honestly, I should have replaced the heating element then, but alas, she finally gave up and stopped producing heat this past weekend. I knew immediately it had to be the heating element so I went ahead and ordered it. It arrived same day and I installed it within an hour. This product came with the exact part I needed along with all the necessary wiring and sensors, which I also replaced. Now it is working like new again and producing heat better than ever. Highly recommend.
