279838 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer Heating Element The 279838 is a Genuine OEM Whirlpool replacement dryer heating element assembly compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, Roper, Crosley, Estate, Inglis, Admiral, and Magic Chef electric dryers. The heating element is the primary heat source in an electric dryer — a nickel-chromium resistance coil wound around a series of ceramic insulators inside a steel housing. When electricity passes through the coil during the drying cycle, it generates the heat needed to evaporate moisture from clothes. When the element coil burns through at a weak point, the circuit is broken and the dryer produces no heat. This Genuine OEM part is manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications and is rated at 5400W / 240V with two 5/16" male terminals. It includes the heating element coil with partial housing and ceramic insulators already mounted — the remaining outer housing from your old assembly is reused. Note: the heating element does not include the thermostat or thermal fuse — those are separate parts. It directly replaces WP279837, 279837, 279838A, 279838VP, 3398063, 3398064, 3403585, 8565582, W10724237, 2438, AP3094254, and several additional cross-reference numbers. Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools. Quick Answer The 279838 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer Heating Element fixes electric dryers that produce no heat, heat weakly, or take much longer than usual to dry clothes. 5400W / 240V, nickel-chromium coil, two 5/16" male terminals. Includes element coil with partial housing — reuses remaining outer housing from old assembly. Thermostat and thermal fuse not included.

Gas dryers use a gas burner assembly and do not have an electric heating element. Always verify your dryer type and model number before ordering. When replacing the heating element, it is strongly recommended to also replace the high-limit thermostat and thermal cut-off fuse (279973 kit) — a failed element is almost always associated with an overheating event that also stresses the thermal components.

Remove the back panel of the dryer by unscrewing the perimeter screws to access the heating element housing at the lower rear of the dryer. Photograph the wiring connections before disconnecting anything. Remove the two wire connections from the element terminals and the thermostat/thermal fuse wire connections from the housing. Unscrew the heating element housing from the dryer cabinet and slide the old assembly out. Remove the inner element frame from the outer housing — the outer housing is reused. Transfer the new 279838 element (which comes with a partial housing) into the existing outer housing. Reinstall the housing into the dryer, reconnect all wiring in the same positions as photographed, reinstall the back panel, restore power, and run a test heat cycle. Tip: while the element housing is removed, inspect the thermal fuse (3392519) and high-limit thermostat/cut-off kit (279973) and replace if needed. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver. Frequently Asked Questions How do I test if the heating element has failed? Unplug the dryer and remove the back panel to access the heating element housing. Disconnect the two wire terminals from the element and set your multimeter to continuity or resistance mode. Probe both terminals. A working heating element will show a resistance reading — typically between 8 and 15 ohms for a 5400W/240V element. An open circuit (no continuity / infinite resistance) confirms the element coil has burned through at a break point. You can also visually inspect the coil inside the housing for a visible gap, burn spot, or sag in the wire — any break in the coil indicates a failed element. Does this element include the thermostat and thermal fuse? No — the 279838 includes the heating element coil and partial housing only. The high-limit thermostat and thermal cut-off fuse are separate parts that mount on the element housing and are not included. When replacing the heating element, it is strongly recommended to also replace these thermal components using the 279973 thermostat kit, as a burned-out element is almost always the result of an overheating condition that also stresses the thermostat and thermal cut-off. Replacing them together ensures the heating system is fully restored and reduces the chance of a repeat failure. Why does the 279838 only come with partial housing? The 279838 heating element is designed as a replacement for the inner coil and frame assembly only — it installs inside the existing outer housing from your old assembly. The outer housing is a steel shell that does not wear out and does not need to be replaced under normal circumstances. By including only the partial housing (inner frame and coil), Whirlpool reduces part cost and simplifies installation — you simply swap the new element into your existing outer housing rather than replacing the entire assembly. Will replacing the heating element fix my dryer if the thermal fuse is also blown? Not by itself. If the thermal fuse (3392519) has also blown — which is common when the heating element fails — replacing only the element will not restore heat because the blown fuse permanently interrupts the circuit. You will need to replace both the heating element and the thermal fuse to restore normal operation. Since a thermal fuse blows due to overheating, also replacing the high-limit thermostat and thermal cut-off kit (279973) at the same time is recommended to ensure complete thermal protection is in place. Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part? This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications. It is the exact same heating element assembly installed in compatible Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, and related brand electric dryers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

The 8557403 thermostat/thermistor assembly is typically located on the heating element housing or duct inside the dryer — access it by removing the back panel. On Whirlpool Duet and Maytag front-load-style dryers, the component may be accessible by removing the lower front panel. Photograph all wire connections before disconnecting — the thermistor wires and thermostat wires must be reconnected to the correct terminals. Remove the two mounting screws and pull the old assembly off. Note the position and orientation before removing. Install the new 8557403 assembly in the same position and orientation, reconnect all wires, and reinstall the mounting screws and panel. Restore power and run a test heat cycle to confirm normal operation. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver. Frequently Asked Questions What makes this part unusual — why does it combine a thermostat and a thermistor? The WP8557403 is a combined assembly used on newer Whirlpool Duet and Maytag MED series dryers that use electronic temperature control rather than purely mechanical thermostats. The high-limit thermostat (L146-44C) provides the traditional safety function — it opens the circuit if dryer temperature exceeds 295°F. The integrated NTC thermistor continuously reports resistance-based temperature data to the electronic control board, which uses the data to regulate the heating element and control cycle timing. Both functions are built into a single compact housing, making this a unique part that replaces what older dryers used to handle with separate components. How do I test the thermostat and thermistor? Set your multimeter to continuity or resistance mode. For the thermostat portion: probe the thermostat terminals — at room temperature, a working thermostat shows closed continuity (near-zero resistance). An open circuit at room temperature confirms the thermostat has failed. For the thermistor portion: probe the thermistor terminals — at room temperature (approximately 25°C/77°F), a working 50-ohm NTC thermistor should read approximately 50 ohms. A reading of zero ohms (shorted) or open circuit (no continuity) confirms the thermistor has failed. Either failure mode warrants replacing the complete 8557403 assembly. What is the difference between 8557403 and WP8557403? These are the same part. WP8557403 is the updated Whirlpool OEM part number that superseded the original 8557403. The 1180102 is also a cross-reference for this same assembly. This aftermarket replacement is compatible with all of these numbers. Do I also need to replace the thermal fuse or cycling thermostat? The 8557403 replaces the high-limit thermostat and thermistor mounted on the heating element housing area. The exhaust duct thermal fuse (WP3392519 on most Whirlpool-family dryers) and cycling thermostat (WP3387134) are separate components located on the exhaust duct and are not included in or replaced by the 8557403. If your dryer has no heat, test all thermal components before ordering — check the 8557403 assembly, the thermal fuse, and the cycling thermostat, then order only what has failed. If an overheating event caused the high-limit to fail, the other thermal components may be stressed as well. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?

XPARTCO XP8767 Dryer Thermostat Set — DC47-00018A, DC96-00887C, DC47-00016A, DC32-00007A The XPARTCO XP8767 is an aftermarket dryer thermal component set containing four heat-sensing and safety parts for select Samsung and Kenmore dryers. The set includes the high-limit thermostat (DC47-00018A), thermal fuse with bracket (DC96-00887C), blower housing thermal fuse (DC47-00016A), and thermistor temperature sensor (DC32-00007A) — the complete set of thermal components that regulate temperature and prevent overheating in compatible Samsung dryers. When any one of these components fails, the dryer may produce no heat, run too hot, shut off too early, or fail to start. Because overheating events that blow a thermal fuse also stress the other thermal components, replacing all four together in a single repair is the recommended approach. The DC96-00887C replaces the DC96-00887A used in earlier models — both are included in this kit's cross-references. Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools. Quick Answer The XPARTCO XP8767 Dryer Thermostat Set fixes Samsung and Kenmore dryers with no heat, insufficient heat, overheating, early shutoff, or failure to start.

Remove the back panel of the dryer to access the heating element housing and exhaust duct. Take a photo of all wire connections before disconnecting anything — the thermistor and thermal fuses use similar small connectors and it is important to reconnect them to the correct terminals. The DC47-00018A high-limit thermostat is mounted on the heating element housing — unscrew and replace it. The DC96-00887C thermal fuse with bracket is mounted on the exhaust duct — unscrew, remove the bracket assembly, and install the new one. The DC47-00016A thermal fuse is on the blower housing — disconnect the wires and unscrew or unclip it. The DC32-00007A thermistor is clipped to the blower housing — pull the old one out and press the new one into the clip. Reconnect all wires, reassemble the back panel, restore power, and run a test cycle. Tip: Clean the full length of the exhaust duct before running the dryer after this repair. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers. Frequently Asked Questions What does each part in this set do? The DC47-00018A high-limit thermostat monitors the heating element temperature and cuts power to the element at 260°F if the dryer gets too hot — it resets automatically when cooled. The DC96-00887C thermal fuse is a one-time safety device on the exhaust duct that permanently cuts power to the heat source at 320°F if the dryer overheats. The DC47-00016A is a second one-time thermal fuse on the blower housing that cuts power to the motor if overheating occurs there. The DC32-00007A thermistor monitors real-time drum temperature and sends resistance-based readings to the control board, which uses them to regulate the drying cycle and control the heating element. What is the difference between DC96-00887A and DC96-00887C? The DC96-00887C is the updated current part number that superseded the DC96-00887A. Both are the same thermal fuse with bracket used on the exhaust duct — the C suffix denotes a minor revision. Either part number is covered by this kit and both are fully interchangeable. How do I test these parts with a multimeter? Set the multimeter to continuity or resistance mode. At room temperature, the DC47-00018A high-limit thermostat and both thermal fuses (DC96-00887C and DC47-00016A) should all show closed continuity (near-zero resistance). Any of these that reads open (no continuity) has failed. The DC32-00007A thermistor should show a resistance reading at room temperature — typically around 10,000–50,000 ohms depending on ambient temperature — rather than zero or open. A thermistor that reads open or zero at room temperature has failed. Why should I replace all four parts instead of just the one that failed? When a thermal fuse blows in a Samsung dryer, it almost always means the dryer overheated — and that overheating event stresses all four thermal components simultaneously. Replacing just the blown fuse without replacing the other parts risks a repeat failure if the thermistor is providing incorrect readings or the high-limit thermostat is no longer protecting accurately. Replacing all four parts at once renews the entire thermal circuit and reduces the chance of a repeat failure in the near future. Is this set for electric and gas Samsung dryers? Yes — the XP8767 set is compatible with both electric (DVE series) and gas (DVG series) Samsung dryers that use these four thermal components. Always verify your specific model number before ordering to confirm all four parts apply to your dryer.

XPARTCO 279973 Dryer Thermostat Kit The XPARTCO 279973 is an aftermarket replacement dryer thermostat and thermal cut-off kit compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool-family electric dryers including Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Inglis, Roper, and Admiral. The kit contains two components — the high-limit thermostat (L295-80F) and the thermal cut-off fuse — both located on the heating element housing. Together they protect the dryer's heating element from overheating: the high-limit thermostat monitors element temperature and cuts power if it exceeds safe levels, then resets when cooled. The thermal cut-off fuse is a backup one-time device that permanently opens the circuit if the thermostat fails to protect the element. Both parts are mounted on the side of the heating element housing and can be accessed through the dryer's back panel. The thermal cut-off fuse is a non-resettable one-time device — once it opens, it must be replaced. The 279973 kit includes both parts, an instruction sheet, and hardware. It directly replaces 3391913, 3404151, 3404152, 3977395, 8318314, 897710, 279973VP, AP3094323, and several additional cross-reference numbers. Note: this kit is for electric dryers only. Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools. Quick Answer The XPARTCO 279973 Dryer Thermostat Kit fixes Whirlpool-family electric dryers with no heat, overheating, or a dryer that shuts off too early. Kit includes the L295-80F high-limit thermostat (auto-reset, opens at 295°F) and the thermal cut-off fuse (352°F, one-time). Both mount on the heating element housing. Electric dryers only. Replaces 3391913, 3404151, 8318314, 897710, AP3094323. Compatible with Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Inglis, Roper, and Admiral. Common Problems This Kit Fixes Dryer produces no heat — thermal cut-off fuse or high-limit thermostat has failed Dryer overheats — clothes or drum too hot at the end of a cycle Dryer shuts off early before clothes are dry Dryer takes multiple cycles or very long time to dry clothes Repeated no-heat failures — underlying overheating condition affecting the element housing components Dryer tumbles normally but produces no heat at all What's in the Kit Part 1 of 2 High-Limit Thermostat (L295-80F) Opens at 295°F — cuts power to the heating element if temperature exceeds safe levels · Auto-resets when cooled · Located on the heating element housing · Should show closed continuity (near-zero resistance) at room temperature Part 2 of 2 Thermal Cut-Off Fuse (352°F) Opens at 352°F — one-time backup safety device on the heating element housing · Permanently interrupts power to the heating element if the high-limit thermostat fails to protect it · Cannot be reset — must be replaced if blown · Should show closed continuity at room temperature when working Replaces Part Numbers This thermostat kit directly replaces the following OEM and cross-reference part numbers: 279973, 279973VP, 3391913, 3404151, 3404152, 3977395, 8318314, 897710, ER279973, PD00002626, EAP334387, AWP39286, AH334387, AP3094323, EA334387, PS334387. If your part number is not listed above, contact our support team before ordering and we will verify compatibility. Compatibility This thermostat kit is compatible with select electric dryers only from the following brands: Whirlpool electric dryers (Duet, Cabrio, and standard series) Kenmore / Sears electric dryers (Whirlpool-built models) Maytag electric dryers KitchenAid electric dryers Amana electric dryers Inglis electric dryers Roper electric dryers Admiral electric dryers Important: This kit is for electric dryers only. Gas dryers use a different burner assembly and require a different thermostat kit (XP6974 for Whirlpool-family gas dryers). Always verify your dryer type and model number before ordering. Also: if the thermal cut-off fuse has blown, always check for a clogged exhaust vent before replacing — a blocked vent is the most common root cause of overheating and repeated fuse failures. Key Features 2-part kit — high-limit thermostat and thermal cut-off fuse, both on the heating element housing High-limit thermostat (L295-80F) — opens at 295°F to cut element power, auto-resets when cooled Thermal cut-off fuse (352°F) — one-time backup safety device; permanently opens if thermostat fails to protect the element Both parts located on the heating element housing — accessible from the dryer back panel Replacing both together ensures complete thermal protection is restored on the element housing Replaces 3391913, 3404151, 8318314, 897710, AP3094323, and over 10 additional cross-reference numbers Electric dryers only — not for gas dryer models Compatible with Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Inglis, Roper, and Admiral electric dryers Aftermarket replacement built to OEM-equivalent quality standards Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools Product Specifications Kit Part Number 279973 Condition Aftermarket Replacement Application Electric Dryers Only Kit Includes 1x High-Limit Thermostat (L295-80F), 1x Thermal Cut-Off Fuse (352°F), hardware, instruction sheet High-Limit Thermostat Rating L295-80F — opens at 295°F, resets at 215°F — auto-resets Thermal Cut-Off Fuse Trip Temp 352°F — one-time, non-resettable Location Heating element housing (both parts) Compatible Brands Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Inglis, Roper, Admiral Installation Notes ⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Electric Dryers Only Disconnect power before beginning. Remove the back panel of the dryer by unscrewing the perimeter screws to expose the heating element housing. Both the high-limit thermostat and thermal cut-off fuse are mounted on the side of the heating element housing — the thermostat is typically the larger component and the thermal cut-off fuse is smaller. Test each component with a multimeter before removing (both should show closed continuity at room temperature; the failed one will read open). Photograph the wiring before disconnecting. Disconnect the wires, remove the mounting screws, and install the new components in the same positions. Reconnect the wires and mounting screws, reinstall the back panel, restore power, and run a test cycle to confirm heat. Tip: Before running the dryer, clean the full length of the exhaust duct — a clogged vent is the most common cause of overheating and a blown thermal cut-off fuse. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, multimeter. Frequently Asked Questions What is the difference between the high-limit thermostat and the thermal cut-off fuse in this kit? The high-limit thermostat (L295-80F) is a resettable safety switch that opens at 295°F to cut power to the heating element and resets automatically when the temperature drops. It is the primary protection against overheating during normal operation. The thermal cut-off fuse is a one-time backup device rated at 352°F — it permanently opens the circuit if the heating element temperature climbs beyond the point the thermostat should have caught. Once the cut-off fuse opens, it must be replaced; it does not reset on its own. If the cut-off fuse has blown, it usually means the high-limit thermostat also failed to do its job and should be replaced at the same time — which is exactly what this kit provides. How do I test these parts with a multimeter? Unplug the dryer and remove the back panel to access the heating element housing. Disconnect each component from the wiring and probe both terminals with a multimeter set to continuity or resistance mode. At room temperature, both the high-limit thermostat and the thermal cut-off fuse should show closed continuity (near-zero resistance). Any component that reads open circuit (no continuity) has failed and needs to be replaced. The thermal cut-off fuse reads open even after it cools — it is non-resettable. The high-limit thermostat may read open at room temperature if it has failed internally rather than by an overheat trip. How is the 279973 kit different from the XP6974 thermostat kit? The 279973 is a 2-part kit — high-limit thermostat and thermal cut-off fuse — designed specifically for the heating element housing of Whirlpool-family electric dryers. The XP6974 is a 4-part kit — cycling thermostat, thermal fuse, high-limit thermostat, and thermal cut-off — designed for Whirlpool-family gas and electric dryers, covering both the exhaust duct components and the burner/element housing components. If your electric dryer is showing no-heat and you need only the heating element housing components, the 279973 kit covers exactly those two parts. If you want to replace all thermal components in one repair, the XP6974 covers a broader set. Why does the thermal cut-off fuse keep blowing? If the thermal cut-off fuse blows repeatedly after replacement, it almost always means there is an underlying overheating condition causing the heating element housing to run hotter than it should. The most common cause is a clogged or restricted exhaust vent — lint accumulation in the duct reduces airflow, trapping heat inside the dryer cabinet and around the element. Other causes include a failed cycling thermostat that is not regulating element temperature correctly, a stuck heating element relay, or a dryer in an enclosed space with inadequate ventilation. Always clean the full exhaust duct and check the cycling thermostat (WP3387134) before replacing the thermal cut-off fuse a second time. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement kit built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured to match the temperature ratings and specifications of the original 279973 high-limit thermostat and thermal cut-off fuse kit.
