Additional Information

The DC97-14486A Dryer Heating Element Assembly is a complete and ready-to-install unit that includes the heating element, housing, ducts, and thermostats/thermal fuses pre-assembled. It is a common replacement part for Samsung dryers that no longer produce heat or produce insufficient heat. When installing, ensure the power to the dryer is disconnected to maintain safety. It's also advisable to clean the lint and debris from the dryer's ducts to prevent future heating issues or potential fire hazards. After installation, verify the proper operation by running a test cycle. If the dryer still does not heat up, there may be additional issues with the thermal fuse, wiring, or electronic control board.

Reviews

Easy DIY and saved the hassle of a repair man.
January 26, 2023

Our dryer stopped making heat. I have never touched or worked on an appliance before. After finding videos online I figured this was more than likely the cause of the no heat. Surprisingly it was not hard to take off the back/front panels to the dryer. Sure enough the heating element was broken. I ended up buying this entire assembly because I figured the two other parts associated with the element are 10+ years old so why not just completely replace the entire unit... (drop in). Overall this was an easy install and very manageable for someone at home. Be careful with the edges though, they are sharp and I did end up cutting up my hand in places.

Worked great, shipping was fast

One day my dryer stopped drying the clothes. So I opened it up and tested continuity on the heater assembly and sure enough the element went out. I could either replace the element for $145 or the sensor, fuse, and element for $150, so I bought this part. It fit perfectly, part worked right away and shipping was fast. Very happy to get the family dryer back up and running. Cheaper than a new dryer.

Back up and running with the old assembly sitting on top. Make sure to reconnect everything. I forgot the door, and had to take it most of the way apart again.
Broken coil, which was the problem.
Note the order of the wires. Take a picture.
Have to tear down most of the dryer

Perfect Part! I have replaced this part with non-OEM parts twice and they last about 3 months. We have four sons so we do a lot of laundry. Hope this OEM part lasts longer than 3 months. I put these in so often I can put them in 15 minutes. Make sure to line up the dryer drum belt.
