Samsung Samsung DVE45R6100W 7.5 cu. ft. Electric Dryer with Steam Sanitize+ THERMAL FUSE BLOWN Error Fix: Thermal Fuse Blown — No Heat

The thermal fuse has blown, cutting power to the heating element (electric) or gas valve (gas). The dryer runs and tumbles but produces no heat. This is the single most common Samsung dryer repair. The thermal fuse (Samsung part DC96-00887A on many models) is a one-time safety device that blows when the dryer overheats. Test with a multimeter — it should show continuity. If open (no continuity), replace it. CRITICAL: always clean the exhaust vent system before replacing the thermal fuse — a clogged vent is what caused the overheating that blew the fuse. Replacing the fuse without fixing the root cause will result in repeated failures.
