Review on πŸ”₯ High-quality Dryer Heating Element (DC47-00019A) and Repair Kit for Samsung - Compatible Model: Figure 6 by Dustin Gabrielle

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The overcurrent sensor burned out on first use.

Bought to fix a Samsung tumble dryer that had a blown over current sensor. Replaced the element, overheat and overcurrent sensors that were in the package. Collected (God bless YouTube!) and did a test run. Everything seemed fine including the load of laundry and after 2 hours wet clothes. Took it apart and used my ohmmeter to diagnose that the overcurrent sensor was open, electrically this means it's blown like a fuse. The element has been tested to specification and is not shorted to ground, so there is no reason for overcurrent. Contacted support and they sent another complete set. They didn't force me to return other parts due to Covid protocols and the replacement came very quickly so I gave it 3 stars. However, it is the same with replacement. Disassemble, swap parts, reassemble, run in test mode for a few minutes, believe all is fixed, start washing, wet clothes. Overcurrent sensor burned out. Bought from a local dealer for a lot more money but it works. Strange as the same part number and looks identical. The only thing I can think of is that the factory that makes them abroad sells those that don't pass the quality control required by the dealers.
