Problem
Samsung dryer wouldn't stop running unless the door was open.
Tools
Phillips head screwdriver.
Repair & Advice
Literally involves the removal of three screws and pulling a half dozen wired connections. Takes 15 minutes from beginning to end. Not yet giving the new board a 5 star rating because it's only been installed for one week.

Problem
Dryer would keep running and you could only stop it by opening the door, it also would not get warm.
Tools
Phillips screw driver, needle nose pliers
Repair & Advice
UN PLUG DRYER FIRST, the board will have power even if dryer is off, you may be electrocuted if you don’t. Remove 2 screws on back of control cover, rotate cover towards front of dryer and lift off. Remove 1 screw holding down control board. Slide tab out of slot and turn over. Remove connectors from board (I used needle nose pliers, my fingers couldn’t grip them enough) then install connectors back onto new board. Slide tab back into slot and replace single screw, replace tabs for control cover back into slots and rotate back down into place, install both screws. Plug back in and turn on.

Problem
Dryer would turn on even with the power button off and the door closed. Turns off if the door opens. Also turns on right after plugins it back into the wall without any button pressing.
Tools
Screwdriver and fingers.
Repair & Advice
Easy to do just annoying that it needed to be done after 3 years old.
