You might not know how important your dryer is till it breaks down. If you have your Samsung dryer not heating, it is the right time to check whether you use and clean it properly. The heating element in a Samsung clothes dryer heats up the air as the dryer pulls the air from the outside and into the dryer drum. The issue with drying consequently refers to the normal functioning of the heating element. The heating element is a large set of coils located inside a metal housing. To remove and replace the heating element, you must disassemble the Samsung dryer. Although the process involves many steps, it is relatively straightforward and can be completed by the average do-it-yourselfer. There is a troubleshooting booklet on the back panel that mentions how to verify this with a multi-meter so reference that as there are also two thermal switches in the circuit that can cause similar behavior. To verify the problem without massive disassembly first take off the rear duct work tube and slide it out the back to gain this access to the bottom of the dryer. The heating box is that silver metal box on the left with the (6) wires connected to it. The very FRONT connectors (furthest from you) (2 wires) are for the heating coil. Reach in there and pull off the connectors (you might need a pliers) and connect your multi-meter leads to the stab connectors. Measure the leads continuity for being open circuit. If you measure open resistance, open the coil is shot. So pull off the other wires for the two switches more towards you (towards the rear of the dryer.) The box has to come out, but it comes out the front. Avoid any DIY if you aren’t as handy as a professional appliance repair assistant.
