The element is located inside of the dryer. In order to access it you will need to remove the top cover, the control panel, the front panel, the drum support, then finally the drum itself. If you have any mechanical aptitude and can stay organized you can do the repair. It is much easier to watch a video on how to access and test the components. If you have no heat, you stand a great chance of needing a new heat element. You can buy one that comes with the canister and is quite simple to change out or for less money you can buy just the element itself and take a few more screws out and change the element. I warn you while it is low on the skill meter it can become high on the frustration meter.

SOURCE: how do I remove a Samsung Dryer DV4006 heating element

You will NOT have to remove the drum, as the previous poster said. Unplug the dryer (VERY IMPORTANT). Undo the screws for the cover at the top right at the back of the dryer. Your element is here. Detach it from the cover plate. The undo the bottom cover plate so you can access the plug where the element attaches. You will need to reach in and manipulate the wire out of the clips (easy).
To put it back, just reverse what I've said.

SOURCE: Samsung gas dryer heats up and then stops. No

The key to your issue is the gas dryer. you need to know how it works to be able to diagnose it. A gas dryer will only fire up if the thermostat calls for heat and the hi limit thermostat is not tripped and the gas valves open and the igniter fires. Any of these not working will not lt dryer fire up the heat.
lets assume the running thermostat is ok since it fires up initially and they seldom are intermittent. A restricted vent would trip the high limit t-stat quickly and would not fire up again till it cools down and resets, since you have stated that the vent is clear and unrestricted we will again assume the hi limit stat is not the problem
(it still could be if it was faulty and opened up prematurely, but again that is not one of the more frequent issues). The flame detector needs to be satisfied to continue the burn after flame is ignited. The detector is a simple device that is located on the burner plenum and is a bi-metal with a clear window that lets light (flame) through to a bi-metal switch that will interrupt gas supply in case there is no flame. these again are not on the most frequent list of parts going bad.
The most likely cause of this problem is a bad igniter. they glow orange on start up and ignite the gas. even though they glow orange does not mean they are good, most develop cracks in the ceramic material and are very brittle. If a crack is present you seldom can see it and often will look normal in operation, but once heated the second cycle of heat fails to ignite. This can be measured cold by resistance check compared with standard value. I often just change them on a hunch , saves time and part cost is not high. Labor time is often higher checking it's value. Another possibility is an intermittent gas valve and that is harder to diagnose and it is an expensive part. Seldom is the valve intermittent though.
This should give you a good start, good luck

Troubleshooting heating element on samsung steam dryer

DRYER OVERHEATING:

Heating Element
A defective heating element can make a dryer too hot or not heat at all. . If the element partially shorts out, it can produce heat all the time, regardless of whether the dryer is calling for heat. Remove the heating element to inspect it. The coils should not be touching each other or anything else.

Other Causes and Conditions
Air Flow Problem
Dryers need good ventilation to work properly. If the vent is clogged it can make the dryer too hot. Clean all of the vent tubing thoroughly.

Cycling Thermostat
Although not common, a defective cycling thermostat can make the dryer too hot. The cycling thermostat is supposed to turn on and off the heat to maintain the proper temperature. If the thermostat is defective it may keep the heat on too long. The thermostat is not adjustable or repairable, it must be replaced.

Samsung Dryer dv203aes/xac will not heat. Drum is rotating and lint was cleared from exhaust.

Check the following:
1. Does it have 220 volts (yes it runs, but dryers run on 110 volts)?
2. Check the heating element and the safety thermostats located on the heat element canister. Low air flow from any restriction like lint build up or mashed ducting or blocked air exhaust vent cap can either trip the safety stats or burn out the element. Clean dryer and exhaust ducting thoroughly and replace bad parts before placing back in service. Poor air flow is the number one problem with "No Heat" dryer issues.

Change element in a samung dv665j

Usually, one takes the rear cover off revealing the element area. I doubt if the heating element is burned out. Typically the small thermostat or thermal fuse link blows before the heating element goes. You would have to see the diagram of your model online. Most sites have the exploded parts view of that section online. If you don't have a meter tester you may have to replace all 3. Some models have them all tied into 1 board. This site has video troubleshooting. http://www.repairclinic.com/RepairHelp/How-To-Fix-A-Dryer/8-160-1067262-/Samsung-Dryer-doesn-t-heat-DV665J Samsung Dryer Doesn Heat

Samsung aq12nsvm won't heat

I'd start with either the Hi Temp or Low Temp thermostats (90% of the no heat issues - Samsung Dryer Thermostat Part # 35001087) then then check the heating element coils for an obvious break in the coil (Samsung Dryer Heating Element Part # DC47-00019A). There should be a burn scar on heat shield near or next to break. NOT... 99% of ALL heating issues are caused by poor exhaust vents. Make SURE the vent tube is FREE of ANY lint clogs. Either way your fix is well below $100 in parts to fix. I'll include a link to a great parts supplier to help: Samsung Dryer Parts

Good Luck!

Samsung dryer not heating

Heating element Often a dryer heating element burns out, but doesn't trip the circuit breaker or blow a fuse. The heating element is simply a long coil of special wire. You can check it for continuity with an ohm meter. No continuity means the element is bad and you need to replace it--electric heating elements aren't repairable. To determine if the heating element is burned out, watch the part testing video at the bottom of this page. Thermal fuse On many dryers, there's a thermal fuse mounted to the exhaust duct inside the back cover panel. The fuse--which is about an inch long--is usually embedded in black resin and mounted in a white plastic housing. If the fuse has blown, you need to replace it. (You can't re-set it.) To determine if the thermal fuse has blown out, watch the part testing video at the bottom of this page.

If my Samsung dryer belt was loose but still turning, will it stop the heat element? Because I had a problem earlier in the week with it heating. I took the back off and noticed the belt was freyed

Yes if the air flow is reduced because of a slipping belt that could cause the heating element to turn off due the temperature sensor being a high input. Remember the motor runs a fan as well as the dryer drum.
