XPARTCO DC93-00154A Dryer Heater Assembly
The XPARTCO DC93-00154A is an aftermarket replacement complete heater assembly for Samsung electric dryers, and also fits select Kenmore models. This is a fully assembled unit in a metal housing duct that combines the heating element itself with its high-limit thermostat and thermal fuse, all in one part, so replacing this assembly addresses the entire heat-generating and thermal-protection system together.
This is a dual coil, 3-wire/3-terminal heater. If your dryer's heating element connects with only 2 wires instead of 3, this is not the correct part — you'll need part number DC97-14486A instead. Rated 240V, 3700W, finished in gray/black, constructed of metal, plastic, and ceramic. Measures approximately 19-1/2"L x 5-1/8"W x 7-3/4"H, with a duct opening of about 5" diameter on one end and approximately 5-1/2"L x 3-3/4"W on the opposite end. Symptoms of a failing assembly include the dryer not heating, taking too long to dry, cycles stopping prematurely, error codes, or a burning smell. It directly replaces DC93-00154A, 3282568, AP5582094, ASM35158, EAP4216214, OEM16746291, PD00002235, PS4216214.

Cuts power to the element if temperature exceeds a safe limit; automatically resets once cooled. |
| Thermal Fuse |
One-time backup safety device that permanently opens the circuit if overheating continues. |
Common Problems This Assembly Fixes
- Dryer runs a full cycle but produces no heat
- Dryer produces insufficient heat, taking too long to dry

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Confirm 3-Wire Connection Before Ordering Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Remove the rear access panel to locate the heating element housing. Before disconnecting anything, confirm your old element connects with 3 wires — if it only has 2, stop and order DC97-14486A instead, since this assembly won't be a correct match. Photograph the wiring connections carefully before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the wiring harness from the old assembly, remove the mounting hardware securing it in the duct housing, and pull it free. Install the new DC93-00154A in the same position, reconnect the wiring harness exactly as photographed, and secure the mounting hardware. Reassemble the rear access panel. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm the dryer heats normally with no error codes. While you have the dryer open, this is also a good opportunity to check your exhaust venting for lint buildup or restrictions, since airflow problems are a common contributor to heating element failure. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver or nut driver (model-dependent), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer isn't heating. Is this the right part?
Yes, this is one of the most common symptoms this complete assembly addresses. Since it includes the heating element along with its hi-limit thermostat and thermal fuse, a fault in any of these related components can result in no heat, and replacing the full assembly resolves whichever part has actually failed.
How do I know if I need this assembly or the 2-wire version?
Check how many wires connect to your dryer's current heating element. This DC93-00154A assembly is built for a 3-wire, dual coil connection. If your dryer's element instead uses only 2 wires, you'll need part number DC97-14486A, which is designed for that different wiring configuration on other Samsung models.
Does this include the thermostat and fuse, or do I need to buy those separately?
They're included. This is a complete assembly with the heating element, metal housing duct, an L260-50F hi-limit thermostat, and a thermal fuse all in one part, so there's no need to source these separately.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Samsung OEM part, but is manufactured to match the element design, wattage, housing, and thermal protection configuration of the original DC93-00154A assembly used in compatible Samsung and Kenmore electric dryers.
