The DV231AGW is an older Samsung dryer, closely numbered to the DV231AEW. The two share a look and a family, but a letter difference in the code can mean a different heat source, so we read the label instead of assuming.
If your laundry room has a gas line, we also check the gas connection and burner behavior, while for an electric supply we check the element and the supply voltage. The checks that apply to every version come first: the vent, lint screen, drum rotation and door switch. A dryer that overheats or shuts off mid-cycle often has restricted airflow behind it.
We confirm the model and serial number before ordering parts. Pricing is written and agreed before the repair starts, and our workmanship warranty lasts 30 days.

Error codes this model can show
My dryer lights but does not heat. Does that point to gas or electric?
It can be either, depending on the label. We test the heat source with the right method for your supply, including checking gas flow where it applies.
Why does the dryer shut off when the vent is blocked?
A safety thermostat or fuse opens when the air gets too hot. After clearing the vent, we test those parts to see if they need replacing.
Will you check the gas line connection?
If the machine runs on gas, yes. We look at the shutoff valve, the flexible line and the burner as part of the service, and we check for leaks at the connection before we leave.
