The drum wrapper on our dryer was coming apart in the back, causing the metal drum to tear apart and causing the drum to not roll properly.

I had to take the whole thing apart to replace the drum wrapper. I followed this very helpful YouTube video for the step-by-step instructions on disassembly.

Once the new drum was installed, I followed the steps in reverse to put everything back together.

Dryer would not spin

The design of my dryer is a bit different from the video on PartSelect - but it is very close. And if you watch the really good video on PartSelect plus a few others on Youtube you can figure out how Samsung in general designs the different components. You can fix this yourself definitely.

Cost of part to fix - about $50.
Repairman - didn't even ask. Would probably be $300-400.
Cost of replacement $1,000.

I rated the repair "A bit difficult" only because this is the first time I have ever repaired an appliance. If I were to repair this one again, I'd rate it as Easy.

I'm really thankful for the PartSelect video. This makes DIY repairs possible.

Thanks.

Original belt broke after nylon tension pulley bearing froze.

Thank you
partselect.com for a much better heavy duty belt than the original. Way over priced, but well worth it. After watching the video & following it step-by-step, I now have a perfectly running dryer. P.S. don't forget to plug back in the (3) wire harnesses. The entire experience was a great feeling of accomplishment. Thanks again partselect.com

high limit thermostat and heating element were bad.

I would like to direct the attention to PartSelect instead of my repair. They were awesome in helping me to get my parts. I had called, a few minutes after the deadline for overnight shipping, the gentleman helping me, pushed the order through and I got my parts the next day, allowing me to repair my dryer. I have ordered several parts, for several different appliances, (all Samsung) and PartSelect has always come through for me. Excellent Customer Service!!
P.S. Don't buy Samsung appliances unless you want to get good at repairing them!
