W10828351 Dryer Genuine OEM Lint Screen with Cover
Replaces Part Numbers: W10828351, 8531964, 8531967, W10812395, 348399, 348400, 4338557, 685273, ER8531964, TJDE964, W10828351VP, AP5985829, PS11726200.
Description: This Lint Screen Cover and Filter is a Genuine OEM part for specific whirlpool, Kenmore Laundry Center dryer models. It serves a dual purpose: the lint screen traps lint and debris from clothes during the drying process, preventing them from clogging the dryer vent, while the cover ensures the lint screen is securely positioned and contributes to optimal airflow within the dryer. Common causes of a bad part include tears or holes in the lint screen that allow lint to pass through and clog the vent, a cracked or broken cover that fails to secure the lint screen properly, or buildup of fabric softener and lint that reduces the effectiveness of the filter.
XPARTCO DC64-00828B Dryer Door Switch
The XPARTCO DC64-00828B is an aftermarket replacement dryer door switch (also called a door jamb switch) compatible with a wide range of Samsung and Kenmore Samsung-built electric and gas dryers — including the DV2, DV3, DV4, DV5, DVE, DVG, 592, 401, and 402 series. The door switch is a small safety component mounted near the dryer door frame that detects whether the door is closed. When the door closes, the switch is activated, signaling the control board that the dryer is safe to start or continue running. If the switch fails to detect the closed door, the dryer will not start, will stop mid-cycle, or in rare unsafe failure modes, may continue running with the door open.
This switch directly replaces DC64-00828A (the prior version), 2071595, AP4578931, EAP4210965, PS4210965, PS4210964, 2071594, and PD00028436. It is constructed from durable plastic and metal in white, with dimensions of approximately 1.73"L x 1.73"W x 0.47"H. Note: while this switch looks easy to remove, the front panel actually needs to come off to access it cleanly. Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO DC64-00828B Dryer Door Switch fixes Samsung and Kenmore Samsung-built dryers that won't start when the door is closed, stop mid-cycle, display error codes dC, dF, dE, or d0, or continue running with the door open. Approx. 1.73"L x 1.73"W x 0.47"H, white. Replaces DC64-00828A, 2071595, AP4578931, EAP4210965, PS4210965, PS4210964, 2071594, PD00028436. Compatible with Samsung DV2, DV3, DV4, DV5, DVE, DVG series and Kenmore 592/401/402-series dryers.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power and turn off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Although the door switch appears easy to access from the front, on most Samsung dryer models the front panel actually needs to be removed to install the new switch cleanly. Unscrew and lift off the front panel — be careful not to drop it during reinstallation. Locate the old door switch mounted near the door frame opening. Photograph the wire connections before disconnecting. Unplug the wire harness from the old switch, release the retaining tabs or remove the mounting screws holding the switch in place, and pull it free. Install the new DC64-00828B switch in the same position, reconnect the wire harness, and reinstall the front panel. Restore power, then close the dryer door and start a cycle to confirm the door is properly detected and the dryer runs normally. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do error codes dC, dF, dE, and d0 mean on Samsung dryers?
These door-related error codes on Samsung dryers all indicate the control board is not receiving the expected "door closed" signal from the door switch. dC and d0 commonly appear when the dryer cannot detect a closed door at the start of a cycle, while dF and dE appear when the door signal is lost during a cycle. The dryer's safety logic prevents operation under any of these conditions. Replacing a failed DC64-00828B door switch resolves these codes when the switch itself is the cause; if the codes persist after replacement, check the wiring harness between the switch and the control board for damage.
My dryer is running with the door open — what should I do?
A dryer that continues to run with the door open is a serious safety concern and should be addressed immediately. This usually indicates a failed door switch that is stuck in the "closed" position electrically, even though the door is physically open. Disconnect power to the dryer right away and avoid running it until the switch has been replaced. The DC64-00828B replacement restores normal safety behavior. Until the repair is complete, do not run the dryer.
What is the difference between DC64-00828B and DC64-00828A?
These are the same door switch across successive production revisions. DC64-00828A was the original part number and DC64-00828B is the current updated version. Both are fully interchangeable — if your dryer's parts diagram shows DC64-00828A, the DC64-00828B is the correct current replacement and is covered by this listing.
My dryer suddenly stops mid-cycle even though the door is closed — could this be the switch?
Yes — a door switch with intermittent contact failure is a common cause of unexplained mid-cycle shutdowns on Samsung dryers. The switch may be working correctly when first activated but losing its signal momentarily during operation due to vibration or worn internal contacts, causing the control board to interpret a momentary "door open" condition and stop the cycle. If this is happening repeatedly without any other identifiable cause, replacing the DC64-00828B door switch is the recommended fix.
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 from durable plastic and metal to match the dimensions, switch contacts, and function of the original DC64-00828B dryer door switch.

XPARTCO DC96-00887C Dryer Thermal Cut Off Fuse
The XPARTCO DC96-00887C is an aftermarket replacement thermal cut-off fuse for Samsung and select Kenmore electric dryers, mounted with its bracket on the blower housing. This fuse is a one-time safety device: as long as temperatures around the blower stay within normal range, it does nothing at all, but the instant they climb high enough — almost always from restricted airflow — the fuse permanently opens the circuit and cuts power to protect the dryer. That's why a blown fuse at this location produces such a specific symptom: the dryer won't start at all, with no lights, no tumble, and no response, even though the outlet has power.
Despite frequently being labeled a "thermostat" on third-party marketplaces, this is genuinely a fuse, not a thermostat — once it opens from excess heat, it stays open permanently and cannot reset itself. It ships complete with its mounting bracket for a direct plug-in fit. A blown thermal fuse is almost always a symptom rather than a random failure: restricted exhaust venting is the leading cause, since trapped heat is exactly what this fuse is designed to react to. It directly replaces DC96-00887A, AP5966894, 2074129, AP4207819, PS4216838, EAP4216838, WP35001193, 35001193, PS11741822, PS11741829, and AP6008689.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO DC96-00887C Dryer Thermal Cut Off Fuse fixes Samsung and select Kenmore electric dryers that won't start at all — no lights, no tumble, no response to any button. Mounted with bracket on the blower housing. Replaces DC96-00887A, AP5966894, 2074129, AP4207819, PS4216838, EAP4216838, WP35001193, 35001193, PS11741822, PS11741829, AP6008689. This is a different fuse from our DC47-00016A listing, which mounts on the heater can rather than the blower housing — always verify which fuse your dryer's parts diagram calls for.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer won't start at all — no lights, no tumble, no response to any button
Dryer that stopped working suddenly, especially after running unusually hot
Dryer runs a short time then shuts off completely and won't restart
Repeated blown fuses on a dryer with a known venting or airflow restriction
Clothes coming out extremely hot right before the dryer stopped working

Compatibility
This thermal cut-off fuse is compatible with select Samsung electric dryers, and also fits select Kenmore dryers built on the Samsung platform, including model numbers such as:
DV5471AEW/XAA
DV40J3000EW/A2, DV42H5000EW/A3, DV45H7000EW/A2, DV48H7400EW/A2
DV400EWHDWR/AA
DVE50M7450W/A3
Note — not the same as DC47-00016A: This fuse mounts on the blower housing. Our DC47-00016A listing is a separate thermal fuse that mounts on the heater can instead — the two guard different points in the same circuit and are not interchangeable. Always verify your full model number and check your parts diagram for the exact mounting location before ordering. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure which fuse your dryer needs.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Inspect And Clean The Venting Before Reassembling Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Access is typically through the rear panel: remove the screws securing the panel to reach the blower housing where the fuse is mounted. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting the old fuse's connectors. Remove the mounting screw holding the fuse and bracket in place, and pull it free, disconnecting both wire terminals. Before installing the new fuse, test it for continuity with a multimeter to confirm it's good out of the box, and test the old one to confirm it's actually blown (no continuity) rather than assuming. This is the most important step: fully inspect and clean the dryer's exhaust vent, from the lint trap housing all the way to the exterior vent hood, checking for lint buildup, crushed sections, or excessive length. A blown thermal fuse is a symptom of restricted airflow, and skipping this step means the new fuse is likely to blow again. Install the new DC96-00887C in the same mounting position, reconnect both wire terminals, and secure the mounting screw. Reinstall the rear panel, restore power, and run a test cycle to confirm normal heating and shutoff behavior. Tools needed: Phillips or nut driver (model-dependent), multimeter, vent brush or vacuum attachment for cleaning ductwork, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Some listings call this a "thermostat." Is it really a fuse?
Yes, genuinely a fuse. This is a common point of confusion across the marketplace — many third-party sellers label DC96-00887C a "thermostat," but it functions as a one-time thermal cut-off fuse. Once it opens from excess heat, it stays open permanently and cannot reset itself, unlike a true thermostat, which closes again automatically once temperatures drop. If your fuse has blown, replacement is the only option regardless of what a given listing calls it.
I replaced the fuse and it blew again. What's going on?
This is a strong sign that the underlying cause — almost always restricted airflow — was never addressed. Thermal fuses don't fail from age; they blow because the dryer overheated. If a new fuse keeps blowing, thoroughly inspect and clean the entire exhaust path from the lint trap housing to the outside vent hood, checking for lint buildup, crushed or kinked ductwork, or a vent run that's too long. If airflow checks out and the fuse still blows, have the high-limit thermostat and thermistor checked as well, since a struggling thermostat can push this fuse to blow as the last line of defense.
How is this different from your DC47-00016A listing?
Both are one-time thermal fuses in the same dryer, but they mount in different locations and protect different points in the heating circuit. This DC96-00887C fuse is mounted on the blower housing; the DC47-00016A fuse is mounted on the heater can. They are not interchangeable, so check your parts diagram or the physical mounting location on your dryer to confirm which one you need.
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 electrical specifications, bracket configuration, and mounting position of the original DC96-00887C thermal fuse used in compatible Samsung and Kenmore electric dryers.
