Described on samsung.com as Top Load Electric Dryer Steam Sanitize+ Sensor Dry | 7.4 cu.ft., the DVE52A5500 is a 7.4 cu. ft. electric dryer. On the DVE52A5500 the heating element sits in a housing behind the drum with a high-limit thermostat and a thermistor beside it, and when a thermal safety part has opened we find why – nearly always airflow – before it is replaced.
With the circuit to the DVE52A5500 isolated and the drum cool, the exhaust path is checked before any electrical part is measured, because restricted airflow gives the same complaint as a failed part; only then do the thermistor, thermostats, element or burner, motor, belt and rollers get tested in the order the sign suggests.
