Samsung DV45H7000EW/A2-02 dryer Parts

The Samsung DV45H7000EW dryer has a 7.4 cu. ft. capacity, which is considered a large-capacity drum for handling bulkier loads like towels, bedding, and jeans. For cycle and load guidance specific to your unit, use the DV45H7000EW owner's manual.

What 7.4 cu. ft. means for everyday loads

A 7.4 cu. ft. dryer drum is designed to dry larger loads efficiently when airflow is strong and the load is not overpacked.

• 1 king or queen comforter typically fits (check the care label and cycle)
• Full towel loads dry best when you avoid packing the drum tight
• Mixed loads (shirts, jeans, towels) dry more evenly when sorted by fabric weight
• Overloading reduces tumbling and increases dry time

Quick capacity guide (typical load examples)

Load type	How it usually fits in a 7.4 cu. ft. drum	Best practice
Towels	Large load	Leave space for tumbling
Bedding	Bulky but manageable	Use a bedding cycle if available
Jeans/heavy cotton	Medium to large	Dry with similar-weight items
Delicates	Small to medium	Use low heat and shorter time

Why it matters

Capacity affects drying performance, energy use, and fabric care. Even with a large 7.4 cu. ft. drum, venting and lint control are what keep dry times short and temperatures stable.

If loads still take too long to dry

Long dry times are usually airflow or heat-control related. Check these first:

• Clean the lint screen before every load
• Confirm strong airflow at the outside vent hood
• Inspect the vent for kinks, crushing, or lint buildup
• If the dryer is not heating correctly, common heat-related parts for this model include the Samsung dryer heating element DC47-00019A and the dryer thermistor DC32-00007A

For the Samsung DV45H7000EW dryer, the heating element part number listed for this model is DC47-00019A. Use your DV45H7000EW owner's manual to confirm the correct heating circuit for your exact configuration before ordering.

Confirm you are ordering the right heating part

Samsung dryers can list a heating element as a single element or as a complete heater assembly. On this model’s parts list, we show both styles.

• Heating element (element only): Samsung dryer heating element DC47-00019A
• Heating element assembly (complete assembly): Dryer heating element assembly DC97-14486A
• If your dryer overheated, also check the safety devices listed below before replacing the heater.

Common related parts to check (no-heat or overheating)

A failed heater is common, but airflow and temperature sensing parts often cause repeat failures.

• Dryer high-limit thermostat DC47-00018A
• Dryer thermal cut-off fuse, 320-degree f DC47-00015A
• Dryer thermal cut-off fuse DC96-00887A
• Dryer thermistor DC32-00007A

Quick troubleshooting checklist (before you replace parts)

• Clean the lint screen and confirm strong airflow at the exhaust outlet.
• Inspect the vent duct for crushing, long runs, or lint blockage.
• Verify the dryer is on a heat cycle (not Air Fluff or No Heat).
• If the drum turns but there is no heat, test the heater and thermal cut-off for continuity.

Why it matters

Using the correct heating element part number for DV45H7000EW helps restore proper drying temperature and prevents nuisance shutdowns. Replacing a heater without fixing restricted venting often leads to blown thermal fuses and repeat no-heat symptoms.

Symptom	Most common checks	Parts often involved
Runs but no heat	Heater continuity, thermal cut-off, thermostat	DC47-00019A, DC47-00015A, DC47-00018A
Overheats or shuts off	Vent restriction, thermistor, high-limit	DC32-00007A, DC47-00018A

You can order the heating element and other DV45H7000EW replacement parts from the parts list for this model, or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

A bad heating element in your Samsung DV45H7000EW dryer shows up as no heat, weak heat, or very long dry times even when the drum tumbles normally. We confirm it by unplugging the dryer, then checking the heater for visible damage and correct meter readings.

Fast symptoms checklist

• Dryer runs but clothes stay damp or take much longer than normal
• Little to no heat in the drum on a timed dry cycle
• Burning smell or repeated overheating shutoffs
• Heat starts, then stops mid-cycle

How we test the heating element

1. Disconnect power: Unplug the dryer or switch off the breaker.
2. Visual check: Look for a broken coil, hot spots, or a coil touching metal.
3. Continuity/resistance: Remove the wires from the heater terminals and test across the terminals.
4. Ground check: Test from either heater terminal to the metal heater housing; any continuity indicates a short to ground.

Typical electric dryer heater readings:

Meter result	What it means	What to do next
OL or infinite resistance	Element is open	Replace the heater
Very low resistance (near 0)	Shorted coil	Replace the heater
Continuity to metal housing	Grounded element	Replace the heater

If the element fails these tests, the correct replacement is the Samsung dryer heating element DC47-00019A. For access steps and safety notes, follow the DV45H7000EW owner's manual.

Related checks that prevent repeat failures

• Clean the lint screen and lint housing
• Confirm strong airflow at the outside vent hood
• Inspect vent ducting for kinks, crushing, or heavy lint buildup
• If the element tests good but there is still no heat, check the dryer high-limit thermostat DC47-00018A and the dryer thermal cut-off fuse DC47-00015A

Why it matters

Restricted venting and failed safety thermostats can overheat the heater housing, causing repeated no-heat problems and longer dry times.

A bad (blown) thermal fuse in your Samsung DV45H7000EW dryer reads open (no continuity) on a multimeter. Depending on which safety device opened, the dryer may not start or it may run with no heat. Use the DV45H7000EW owner's manual for safe access steps.

How to test the thermal fuse

1. Unplug the dryer.
2. Access the fuse (often on the heater housing or blower housing area).
3. Remove at least one wire from the fuse terminal.
4. Set the meter to continuity or ohms (Ω).
5. Probe both fuse terminals.

• Good fuse: beeps or reads near 0 Ω
• Blown fuse: no beep, reads OL or very high resistance
• Intermittent issue: test when the dryer is cool and after it overheats

Symptoms that point to a blown fuse

• Dryer will not start
• Dryer runs but does not heat
• Cycle stops early and the dryer is very hot
• Burning smell or restricted airflow symptoms

Fix the overheating cause first

A thermal fuse usually blows because the dryer overheated.

• Clean the lint screen and lint screen housing
• Inspect the vent hose for kinks, crushing, or long runs
• Clear the wall duct and outside vent hood
• Check the blower area for lint buildup

Why it matters

The thermal fuse is a one-time safety device; replacing it without restoring airflow often leads to repeat failures and poor drying.
