Samsung dryer was throwing an HE code. So that's the heating element. I replace the element and the 2 sensors. It's not running but no heat......

I'm at a loss. I checked for continuity and grounding and it was all good.

ETA: No I will never buy another Samsung appliance.

might be a manual reset trip sensor you have to push the button in on.

or you wired something wrong/ got the wrong parts

did all part numbers match the old parts exactly?

Go ahead and buy you a Maytag bravo. Lol

I can change my Maytag bravo heating element in like 15 minutes.

Of course ive done it 3 times, but you have to disassemble the thing from the front and take the whole drum out.

On the dryer? I don't see any mention of a reset trip in the manual. I checked the outlet and I'm getting 240volts.

Rechecked all the sensors all reading correct ohms, heating element has continuity and isn't grounded. I'm now thinking it is the control board. What is 120 bucks....looks like I'm gonna cruise Craigslist for a dryer tomorrow

Go to YouTube and google your model and someone will have posted a video of how to reset your model. Mine was located in The rear lower. I had to remove the rear cover

Also check for a fuse link. On my Maytag it’s mounted on the blower motor.

I changed the heating element, 2 thermal fuses, the thermostat, and the thermisitor. And checked for their proper Ohms.

I've done this repair for several people in the last couple of years, maybe not exact model, but a few Samsungs. Seems like all had a reset switch, down near the element. I'm picturing a small black square push button.

As mentioned earlier. Check the thermostat. I think there are two. It’s supposed to automatically kill power to the element due to safety.

My element went out. I replaced it and it still didn’t work. Thermostat was the issue.
