These tutorials have saved me thousands of dollars in dryer repairs. I've used these videos to replace my heating element and now my belt. I highly recommend these step by step videos to anyone.
This video was GODSEND. It literally saved me on a 200 dollar service call. I would like to make one very important note on the repair however! In the video the drum is rotated counter-clockwise (if you are looking at it from the front) during the alignment. When I attempted this step, the belt kept popping off when I rotated it in the same manner. After TWO HOURS of trying to figure out what I was missing, I accidentally rotated the drum the opposite direction...the ACTUAL direction my dryer tumbles! Lo and behold there was never anything wrong. Turning the correct direction kept the belt on exactly where it needed to be! GREAT VIDEO!
Very well orchestrated tutorial. I took the dryer apart, (which is always the easy part!) replaced 4 different parts, vacuumed and cleaned everything I could see and re-assembled the dryer. All by myself and with this video- (and just a few swear words in between) Thank you very much for the help!!
My dryer is fixed, my wife is happy and I saved money on either a new dryer or expensive repair bill. Much appreciated. :-)
This video is a lifesaver. My son and I were able to go step-by-step and replace the drive belt. There was a ton of lint in my dryer which we also cleaned out. The most difficult part was getting the belt on the pulley but the close-up on the video was extremely helpful. It took about 1/2 hour to complete and the dryer works! Thank you for your step-by-step instructions. I subscribed and like your video and hope others will do so as well!
Great job!
This was a super helpful video. I was able to fix my dryer for $15 in parts and an hour of my time. Definitely recommend cleaning out the cabinet, wheels, and blower with a vacuum. It's definitely working better too.
You're welcome!
We are always happy to help. If you would like to give us a review on Google, we would much appreciate it: g.page/r/CcVUrahZNozMEBM/review
We hope that you have a great day!
Holy smokes I did it! My washer and dryer are stacked in a small closet. It wasn't easy but I couldn't have done it without you.
I had a broken belt. Thank you for this tutorial. Very good instructions.
Awesome tutorial. I was able to do this on my own. Saved me over $150 in parts & labor. The kids were impressed. And made it possible to show my kids that they can fix things themselves.
Great video....you saved me $90 for a diagnostic fee not including parts and labor. The belt cost me $20 and an hour of my time. Very good tutorial!
Great job!
I'm out of town working and my wife told me the dryer quit working. She descibed to me she heard a loud popping sound and she even thought it was the belt. She was correct in that assumption. I went to youtube and found a very informative video from RepairClinic that showed a step by step video on how to replace the belt. Between her brother and father I'm sure they can change the belt by following the instructions from the video.
Kenneth Myers That's great! We're glad we could help.
Appreciate this! A few minor differences in my machine but I was able to remove and replace my dryer belt thank to you. I also vacuumed the bottom out and made .52 cents 😀
This video is so awesome - even I was able to do the repair on my dryer! Thank you! We have been waiting for Samsung to service our washing machine (under warranty) for almost 3 weeks. It"s was so wonderful to be able to do this myself and not have to wait for a service person! This video is priceless!
+Cindy Allard Glad we could help.
I'm a mom of two kids and my husband and I were able to fix our dryer because of this tutorial! The only problem was our tension pulley's spring had come off, so there was no tension. Once we got that back on, no problem whatsoever!
Good work!
AWESOME.. simply Brilliant.. one of the best HOW TO VIDEOs I have ever seen. Right to the point, clear and concise.. thanks so much.. (Broke, watched, bought and repaired in under 6 hours)
Great tutorial. 15 minute fix which saved a lot of money.
This video helped a ton. Dryer wasn't starting; followed the steps to this video and saw that the belt fell off the pulley system. Hooked it back up and it's working fine. Thanks a lot!
No problem! We're happy to help!
Outstanding video! My belt was only off track, but the video made the repair straightforward. 20 minutes, done. Thanks!
"If your dryer panel turns on but won't spin first check if the belt is intact" - this was a great tip from our local appliance parts store guy. When our dryer won't spin I was planning on calling a technician who would have charged me nearly $200. Thanks to this video we replaced our belt with a $25 one and fixed our dryer. For whatever reason Samsung dryer belts are not of high quality - our dryer is just 3 years old and we already had problems. Previously we had Whirlpool basic dryer for over 12 years with no issues.
We're glad you were able to discover the problem!
Same problem. Had to replace two different parts in a 3 year old Samsung already. Samsung sold out and is using the cheapest parts they can find now. It’s to bad. They USED to be a quality company. Won’t ever buy Samsung again.
Outstanding video! Very straightforward and right on point. Total repair time was 35 minutes. Great job! Thank you.
Frederick Jordan Awesome!
Thank you so much for this video!!!!!!!!
It is simple & straight forward.
Very easy to follow.
We labeled the screws in separate containers as we removed them.
Our belt came loose and we were able to fix it.
It saved us a lot of money being able to repair the dryer ourselves.
Thank you Thank you Thank you
Thank you - this was straightforward and made it a simple job. Took a bit longer due to amount of lint that needed to be cleaned out, but probably added three years to the dryer's lifespan! Really appreciate the tutorial!
Stacey Reid Awesome! Lint buildup in dryer venting causes thousands of fires every year so in addition to fixing your dryer, your home is now safer, too! You should clean out your dryer venting at least once per year.
Thanks for the DIY tech post...Such an easy quick fix...Soon as you take the top panel off you will see if the belt is broken or worn or still ok/working...I ordered a new belt off amazon for $7.50 shipped and got here in under a week..a phillips head screw driver is all I used and it took about 10 minutes start to finish...after watching this video it was really easy to get in there and get it none without a lot of troubleshooting,thanks again
Amazing. This video alone is enough info to help me replace anything that breaks down on my dryer.
Wow. My husband and I were able to fix our own dryer because of this video. Thanks Repair Clinic.com!!!
After replacing my heater coil notice the belt was very frayed. Got scared, had no idea how to get the drum out. Great professional video. Will look into future repair parts and more videos from you.
We're happy to help! Thanks for the future business!
Thank you. I was able to fix mine with your help and saved all the money of buying a new dryer!!
thank you for this video. I suspected my belt broke when i heard a snap. Following this video i was able to do the repair start to finish in 40 minutes. My belt actually didn't break (even though it was shredded and about to, it was the tensioning spring that snapped off.) Quick and easy, thanks!
+mattman688 Thank you for sharing.
My Samsung was somewhat different than the one in the video. But this video certainly helped. Belt is replaced and everything works great. Thank you!
Thank you SO MUCH for this tutorial! I can’t afford a service call right now ( let alone a new dryer) so other than actually sourcing a new belt this was easy!
This video is excellent!
It helped us save $$ the belt was only $18 at a local appliance parts store. Thanks so much!
Thanks Pam! For future reference, we sell the parts on our website as well. We also offer a 365 day return policy with no questions asked.
Thank you for these clear and concise instructions. My dryer drum was not rotating. Upon opening the machine I sew that the drum had fallen off of the wheels. Easy fix just lifting it back on. Hopefully that's all.
Thank you for this! It took me about 20 minutes and probably saved me a bundle. I'm grateful.
Cool thanks!
Thank you! I was able to repair the dryer with my son's help. And my husband is smart enough to stay out of my way and let me do it. :)
+toodvs4u Awesome!
I love that!
Great tutorial, replaced my dryer's belt and up and running in no time thanks to this very well put together short demonstration.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I was able to replace the belt in about 30 minutes.
Thank you so much for this video, I fixed my dryer last night! It took about an hour and thirty minutes for me.
That's great! Congrats!
Thank you! Had a little trouble with my Samsung dryer (slightly different model), but the installation of the #6602-001655 Dryer Belt was pretty smooth, all things considered, thanks to this video!
I agree - fantastic video. In my case the entire idler pulley had come away from the housing but your video gave me the ability to remove and - more importantly - reassemble the unit and it's working like new. Thank you so much.
Johnny Fever Thank you for sharing.
Thank you. The video was perfect and everything was back together in 20 minutes.
Awesome!
The belt cost 21$. The video. ..priceless. Many thanks. I gave you a like.
Michael Morris what is description to buy it? Where did you get it ?
Great video! Everything went exactly like the video. Thank you very much. Would have been lost without seeing this.
Fantastic Steve!
Your part on how to put the pulley on the motor back was especially helpful
Went not as smooth as in the video the control panel was somewhat hooked differently but still manage to make the fix, thanks for the video very well explained !
Thank you so much for this detailed video . . .it was done so well visually and you explained it clear and detailed, we had absolutely no problem following it step by step. I hope you have others up here with other appliances in case we need them, you did such a wonderful job on this video. Thanks so much again, our dryer works wonderfully now !

Great instructional video. Helped me save a couple hundred dollars!
Helped save a bunch of money on a new dryer, thanks so much!
Great tutorial. Pay close attention at 2:51. This will cause unbelievable stress if you don't. Good luck!
BRINGTHETRUTH1 Thank you.
I was able to follow along and repair our dryer.
No problem! We're happy to help!
Awesome - Great video - It was all done and working back again - all under an hr!
Thanks.
This video made the job a heckuva lot easier.
Cool thanks!
Beautiful job on the video. It worked for me, just like the video. Fortunately the old belt was still it place, so I could visualize it more easily.
Fred Schumacher Thank you.
worked perfect. Not exactly the same dryer as mine, but the steps are essentially the same. I was surprised at the tension on the pully. I thought I was going to break it as I looped the belt around it. Other than that, easy fix and saved me a couple hundred I'm sure.
Fantastic thanks!
Thanks for the video. Removed broken belt and will get a new one and install asap. Subscribed also.
Nice, thanks!
Awesome video, It helped me and saved me money!
Gabriel Morales That's great!
Awesome video!! Thanks for being so detailed which made it easy.
+DWils81 You are welcome.
Very helpful! Thanks! I was able to replace the belt.
Thank you for such detailed video
thank you, thank you, thank you. this video saved me untold dollars. awesome
Woohoo!
So my dryer is stacked, is there a way to replace the belt without taking the dryer down? We have a cabinet that is about 5" of clearance above the dryer.
Real good video. Helped me out. Great job.
You saved me some serious money....THANK YOU KINDLY!!
This is very helpful for Replacing Drive Belt...,
Thanks for the video. Saved the day
Randy Cothren Thanks.
did all you said and belt is still not tight and drum does not spin. My model is somewhat different than yours as well.
Could there be a spring that is broken on the pully?
This was super helpful! Fixed my problem. Thank you!
awesome! saved me many dollars
Thanks you helped me change our belt! :)
We're happy to help!
DV4006 Dryer. The instructions are slightly different then the steps for my machine but the 1655 belt is not the correct part. The belt listed here is about 92" long, the belt the DV4006 needs is only 78". Have done a bunch of research and I'm hoping the part number for the belt I need is dc66-00121a. Hopefully my local shop has 1 and I can confirm correct installation tomorrow.
Thank you !! I did it ! ☺😃
so if the dryer does not spin, replacing the belt even if the old belt is still intact, will fix the no spin issue?
Awesome video thank you for uploading it. Saved me big time.
We're happy we could help!
Thank you - the instructions were perfect!
Great video, worked like a charm. Thanks!
+Flight Level Photography - Awesome thank you!
excellent video
Belva Polson Thanks!
Most helpful, thank you.
Great Video. Thanks.
were can i find this belt ?
THANK YOU!!!!!
What size is the belt
I have this exact dryer. The problem I am having is the drum will not turn unless I slide the top back and I give the drum some help turning it clock wise and it then begins to turn on its own and will run until time runs out or I turn it off. What do you think the problem is?
BarkeyBear It sounds like the drum supports are worn or the motor is defective. We would take it apart and ensure the drum support rollers turn freely. If so, the motor is the likely culprit.
Thank you so much I used this
many, many thanks!
No problem!
What are the pads of rubber stuck to the outside of the drum..one of mine melted
Melted?...that's not good...Dryer fires are a big cause of housefires all over the country...I would be seriously concerned if you see any signs of fire/extreme heat inside your machine...and anything melted is NOT GOOD...I would call the manufacturer and talk to them...The cost of a new dryer is ALOT less than a NEW house...after it burns down...we lost a house to a house fire 10 years ago,lucky we didn't die...It was due to a faulty appliance or wiring...they couldn't determine exact cause...Take things like this serious friend...GL
Thanks for posting ...
Fred Flintstone You're welcome.
my samsung dv218ae had a quarter stuck in one of the fins. I tried to manually turn the drum to dislodge it and heard a pop from within the dryer. I got the quarter but I then was scared that I broke something. Sure enough, I tried to turn it on and the panel works, the timer counts down but the drum won't turn. Also no sound from a motor or anything. Does this sound like a belt problem? Was the pop I heard the belt breaking? Is there a way to see if the belt is broken without taking all of the panels off? I'm just wanting to get an idea before I break open a 3 year old dryer.
The belt most likely came off the idler pulley. You can watch the belt video to see how to put it on. You probably have a belt switch that is keeping the motor from starting until the belt is put on.
Drive Belt Replacement (part #6602-001655) - Samsung Dryer Repair
Are all Samsung dryers the same?
Excellent!
I am having a similar problem. but I pulled it apart and changed the belt even though everything seemed to be exactly how it's supposed to. I put it back together and I still have the same problem. it'll power on press the start button. it'll hum like it's trying to turn but I have to turn the drum by hand to get it to start and slam the door really quickly. then it'll work fine and dries really well. Is there a Capacitor on this dryer that could not be functioning properly?
Any update? Probably just an easy fix to just replace the motor instead of just the capacitor.
You’ll need to replace the motor if it’s humming
Exactly what mine is doing. Did you find a fix.
Nice work...........
Thank you so much!
Ben Branum Glad you found the video helpful! Thank you for watching!
Can you please help me. What happened when your Samsung dryer is not spinning and have buzzing noise when turn on the start button? Help please
Does this repair apply to Samsung gas dryers too?
Yes. Your model might be slightly different but it will still mostly apply.
i agree with cindy 100%
Thank my kids are sooooo cool
Need some help. This looks like my Samsung dryer. When I push the button to start the dryer the drum won't turn, but I hear what sounds like the motor. I took the top off and I am able to get the drum turning by hand turning clockwise and it runs the entire cycle with no problem. What is the problem the drum won't begin to turn by its self?

Thank you!! We fixed our dryer in under 30 minutes!!
My dryer spins but as soon as I add cloths I won’t spin anymore.
Thank you for such detailed video
