Hi Craig,

There are many different Samsung dryer models out there, and figuring out the problem with yours would require us to know which one you have.

Please edit your post to add the model number; that will tell us everything we need to know, but it would be helpful if you could start out by letting us know if this is a gas or electric dryer.

I have the same problem with my Samsung dryer model DV42H5000EW/A3.

Can you please help? How do I fix it?

@lionnely The three most common causes for a dryer that runs normally but does not heat are the thermal cut-off fuse, high-limit thermostat, and heating element. The first thing to do is to test all three for continuity. You'll need an ohmmeter (preferred) or continuity tester to ensure there's a path for electricity through each of those components. If any of them fail, that part would need to be replaced. Here's a video showing how to test them.

Here are a couple of videos showing you how to access and remove the heater for testing.

Note that both of these videos show you removing the drum to access the heater, but if you're okay with lying on the floor, it is actually possible to either test those parts without removing the heater at all, or take the heater out without taking out the entire drum. There's only one screw holding the heater in, so if you remove that and unplug it, in most cases you can pull the heater out with the drum still in place. This video shows you how to do that.

Every time I've run into a dryer that won't heat, it's been one of those three items, so those are definitely the place to start. If you check them and they do all have continuity and the heating element isn't shorted to the case, then come on back and let us know everything you did and we'll see if we can come up with the next steps for you to try.
