PrysmDryer Element Replaces DC47-00019A

Bought this April 2022 and it has gone out. Need to replace it again.

Samsung Original at top of Photo, Replacement purchased at bottom.Longevity: Only time will tell on this grading of the part, however that is dependent on many factors, many out of the manufactures control.Quality: Original element wire diameter 0.042", Replacement element 0.042", Insulators different shape but provide adequate standoff and support, Mounting frame: Original has larger openings than Replacement. Original element reads 14 Ohm, Replacement element reads 10 Ohm, insignificant difference.Ease of Installation: Totally dependent on installer preforming task. Took care to ensure skin oils did not touch Replacement element, not necessary just how I work. Verified all element parts did not touch any of the mounting bracket or heater housing components visually and with Ohm meter. During this install the dryer was completely disassembled from the front and all lint components vacuumed, wiped and blown clean, vent hoses cleaned or replaced, regular maintenance preformed every 12-18 months in this dryer.Price: OEM from several locations ~ $80-120 This unit under $25.Initial Use: Element will have an odor during the first use, even in a completely cleaned heater housing. This time it lasted about 15 minutes during a test phase with no clothes in dryer and element heat set to medium.Shipment guarantee made by AMAZON - Not Met, Since shipping included in price with Prime, I have, nor desire any recourse.Overall: Considering the large price difference from OEM to this replacement and reasonable visual similarity of components, if life of element turns out to 12-24 months in an already 8 year old machine and this is the first heat element exchange, my experience says that is a fair exchange of $$$'s to function.

We bought this not even three years ago in the element went out in my dryer. It’s bad quality.

After more than ten years of use, the original factory heating element went out on my Samsung dryer. After a couple of quick YouTube videos for guidance, I was sure that I could replace this myself and save a lot of money on repair. There are, apparently, a lot of cheap dryer elements out there as well as a lot of ridiculously expensive ones (looking at you, Samsung). I decided to give one of the decently priced elements a try. After reading several awful reviews about replaced elements going bad instantly, I had the impression that someone might have touched the wire and left oil/dirt -- or, perhaps got in a hurry to reassemble and shorted the element to the chassis. With those thoughts in mind, I thoroughly cleaned all of the guts of the dryer with a vacuum, followed by a damp rag. I used gloves to handle the element, and I carefully checked electrical resistance of the element to the chassis with my multimeter several times. I'm not sure if that's the only difference between my review and others, but I can say that the replacement has been working perfectly for over two months.Be aware, there's always some smelly burn-off on new heating elements. Run the empty dryer for a few minutes to make sure the burn off is gone before you throw clothes in.

I bought this in April of 2019 and had to replace it tonight. I don’t know if you three years is long for this part but it certainly is cheaper than having someone else diagnose and fix it it worse, buying a new dryer. My Samsung dryer is probably somewhere around 8-10 years old.

I bought this to avoid paying a repair person to come out and fix my Samsung dryer or buying a new dryer. I looked up how to swap the old heating element for the new one and found a decent youtube video, but it was still difficult to install. It took me about 3 hours to do the repair. The new heating element worked great and lasted me about 2 years and 10 months. I just bought another one of these. The repair went much quicker this time, about 1 hour, since I remembered what to do from the last time. This replacement also worked great as soon as I installed it.

Worked great , looked like my original kenmore part. Dryer is back in business. Fast delivery.got it same day.

Purchased one of these heating elements in Nov 2018 and broke in April 2022, not too bad. Heating elements break for many reasons, but they all eventually break due to heating expansion and cooling contraction. It can be tested for continuity to check for breaks with a multimeter. If you get no reading, then there is a break in the coil. Not too hard to replace, just a lot of screws holding things together. Good to take pictures as you go along.

What a major disappointment. Thankfully I have experience installing these heater elements and I saved my self several hundreds of dollars not having to call in a service tech, but this element was made from 3rd grade material. It only lasted 4 days before it failed. I wouldn't buy this again!
