5303918214 Genuine OEM Frigidaire Refrigerator Defrost Thermostat The 5303918214 is a genuine Frigidaire OEM defrost thermostat kit for Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Crosley refrigerators — commonly used on side-by-side and French door models equipped with an ice maker. This thermostat monitors the temperature of the evaporator coils: when the coils drop below a set temperature, it allows power to reach the defrost heater so frost can be cleared; once the coils warm back up, it cuts power to the heater again, protecting the evaporator from being overheated during that process. The most common reasons this thermostat gets replaced are a classic pair of symptoms: the freezer stays cold while the fresh food refrigerator section runs warm, or the refrigerator simply isn't defrosting on its normal cycle. Because this thermostat sits behind the rear access panel near the ice maker on many compatible models, replacing it typically involves removing the ice maker and the back panel to reach it — a more involved repair than a thermostat mounted in an easily accessible spot. It directly replaces AP2150145, 892545, AH469522, EA469522, PS469522, and 75303918214. As a genuine OEM part, the 5303918214 is manufactured by Frigidaire to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

Key Features Genuine Frigidaire OEM part — factory-specified temperature threshold and mounting configuration Defrost thermostat kit for Frigidaire-platform refrigerators with an ice maker Monitors evaporator coil temperature and controls power to the defrost heater Resolves "freezer cold, fridge warm," "not defrosting on schedule," and "icy evaporator coils" symptoms caused by thermostat failure Ships with wiring diagram guidance for a correct connection Direct drop-in replacement — mounts to the original housing location Replaces AP2150145, 892545, AH469522, EA469522, PS469522, and 75303918214 Compatible with Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Crosley refrigerators Genuine OEM replacement — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance Product Specifications Part Number 5303918214 Part Type Refrigerator Defrost Thermostat Kit Condition Genuine OEM Function Monitors evaporator coil temperature and controls power to the defrost heater Typical Location Rear access panel area, near the ice maker on many compatible models Repair Difficulty Moderate — ice maker removal typically required for access Quantity 1 defrost thermostat kit Compatible Brands Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, Crosley Installation Notes ⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator And Shut Off Water Supply Before Starting Unplug the refrigerator from the wall outlet and turn off the water supply to the refrigerator before beginning. Wear work gloves. If your model has an ice maker, remove it first using a screwdriver to gain clearance for the next steps. Remove the back panel with a screwdriver to expose the defrost thermostat. Take out the existing thermostat and disconnect its wiring, labeling or photographing each connection first. Install the new 5303918214 thermostat by connecting the wires according to the wiring diagram provided with the kit, then secure the thermostat to the main housing using the small mounting screws. Reinstall the back panel, plug the refrigerator back in, turn the water supply back on, and reinstall the ice maker. Test the refrigerator over the following day to confirm both compartments are cooling evenly and the defrost cycle is running normally. Tools needed: screwdriver, wire cutters/strippers, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions Do I really need to remove the ice maker for this repair? On many compatible models, yes — the thermostat sits behind the rear access panel in an area that the ice maker partially blocks, so removing it first gives you the clearance needed to reach the panel and the thermostat behind it. It's an extra step compared to some simpler defrost thermostat replacements, but it's a standard part of this particular repair. My freezer is cold but the fridge is warm. Is this the thermostat? Yes, this is the classic symptom of a failed defrost thermostat. When it fails, the defrost heater can't run correctly to clear frost from the evaporator coil, and the resulting ice buildup blocks the airflow that's supposed to carry cold air to the fresh food compartment. The freezer, sitting closer to the coil, often stays reasonably cold, while the fresh food side runs warm since it depends on that circulated air. I replaced the thermostat but my freezer temperature is still fluctuating. What should I check next? Replacing this thermostat resolves the issue for most customers, but if fluctuation continues, it's worth checking the other components in the same defrost circuit — the defrost timer and defrost heater — since a failure in either of those can produce similar temperature instability even with a good thermostat installed. It's also worth confirming the door seals are sealing properly, since a poor seal lets warm air in and can cause temperature swings unrelated to the defrost system. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Frigidaire to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original temperature threshold, mounting configuration, and function of the defrost thermostat originally installed in your refrigerator.

XPARTCO 242046001 Refrigerator Defrost Thermostat The XPARTCO 242046001 is an aftermarket replacement defrost termination thermostat compatible with a wide range of Frigidaire, Electrolux, Crosley, Gibson, Kelvinator, Tappan, Westinghouse, White-Westinghouse, and Kenmore refrigerators — including French door, side-by-side, and bottom-freezer models across the CFD, DGHF, E23BC, and EI23BC series. The defrost thermostat is a bi-metal safety device clipped to the evaporator coil or defrost heater tube in the freezer compartment. During the defrost cycle, it monitors the coil temperature and opens its circuit once the coil warms to roughly 50–60°F (10–15°C), which cuts power to the defrost heater. This confirms all the ice has melted and prevents the heater from continuing to run and overheating the freezer. When the thermostat fails, one of two things happens: it can fail open (the defrost heater never runs, so ice builds up on the coils until airflow is blocked and cooling fails), or it can fail closed (the heater runs too long, overheating the compartment and often producing water pooling at the bottom of the freezer or leaking onto the floor). Features a cylindrical metallic body with two blue wires and white electrical connectors. Specification code L47-22F. Wire leads approximately 7.9". It directly replaces 242046001, 240386402, 240386403, AP4508400, 1564839, AH2378768, EA2378768, PS2378768, and L47-22F. Tip: the defrost thermostat, defrost heater, and defrost timer/control board form the defrost system and often fail together — replacing them as a set while the panel is off saves a repeat repair. Installs in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools. Quick Answer The XPARTCO 242046001 Refrigerator Defrost Thermostat fixes Frigidaire, Electrolux, Crosley, Gibson, Kelvinator, Kenmore, Tappan, and Westinghouse refrigerators with excessive frost or ice buildup on the evaporator coils, fridge or freezer too warm (or too cold), the defrost cycle not activating, the refrigerator running continuously, or water pooling/leaking in the freezer.

Wear work gloves to protect your hands. The defrost thermostat is located in the freezer compartment behind the rear evaporator access panel. Remove all freezer shelves, drawers, and the ice maker (if equipped) to clear access to the back wall. If there's heavy ice buildup covering the coils, allow the freezer to thaw completely before continuing — never chip or pry ice off the evaporator coils, as the aluminum fins damage easily and a damaged coil is a far more expensive repair. Remove the screws securing the rear evaporator access panel and carefully detach it to expose the evaporator coils, defrost heater, and defrost thermostat. Locate the thermostat — it's the small cylindrical metal component clipped onto the evaporator coil or the defrost heater tube, with two blue wires. Photograph the wiring connections and mounting position before disconnecting. Carefully disconnect the electrical connectors from the old thermostat, noting their orientation. Release the mounting clip and remove the old thermostat. Clip the new 242046001 thermostat onto the coil or heater tube in the exact same position — good thermal contact with the coil is essential for the thermostat to sense the temperature correctly. Reconnect the electrical connectors. While the panel is open, inspect the defrost heater and defrost timer/control board — if either is damaged or you're chasing a defrost problem, this is the ideal time to replace them too. Reinstall the rear access panel, shelves, drawers, and ice maker. Plug the refrigerator back in and allow several hours for the unit to return to its set temperature. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions What does a defrost thermostat actually do? It's the "off switch" for your refrigerator's defrost heater. Frost naturally accumulates on the evaporator coils during normal cooling. Periodically, the defrost timer/control board turns on the defrost heater to melt that frost. The defrost thermostat — a bi-metal switch clipped right to the coil — monitors the coil's temperature during this cycle. When the coil warms to approximately 47°F (its L47-22F rating — indicating all the ice has melted), the thermostat opens its circuit and cuts power to the heater. This stops the heater before it overheats the freezer compartment, and saves energy. Without a working thermostat, the defrost cycle either never runs (ice builds up) or runs too long (overheating and water pooling). I found water pooling in my freezer — is the defrost thermostat the cause? Quite possibly. A defrost thermostat that fails closed (stuck in the "on" position) lets the defrost heater run far longer than it should. The excess heat melts more than just the frost on the coils, producing more water than the drain can handle — which pools at the bottom of the freezer and can leak onto the floor. This is a commonly misdiagnosed symptom: many people assume they have a water line leak when the actual culprit is a failed defrost thermostat. If you're seeing unexplained water in the freezer or on the floor and there's no obvious water line issue, check the defrost thermostat. Also verify the defrost drain isn't clogged, which produces similar symptoms. How do I test the defrost thermostat? With the refrigerator unplugged, disconnect the thermostat's wire connectors and set your multimeter to continuity mode. A working defrost thermostat should show continuity when it's cold (below its opening temperature — which it will be if it's been in the freezer). If it reads open (no continuity) while cold, the thermostat has failed and needs replacement. For a more thorough test, place the thermostat in ice water (should show continuity), then warm it above its ~47°F opening point (should open — no continuity). If it doesn't switch at the correct temperatures, replace it. Another visual check: if the top of the thermostat has popped up or bulged, that's a sign it has failed. Should I replace the defrost heater and timer at the same time? Yes, it's strongly recommended. The defrost thermostat, defrost heater, and defrost timer/control board work together as a system — the timer initiates the defrost cycle, the heater melts the frost, and the thermostat terminates the cycle when the coil is clear. When one component fails, the others have typically experienced the same age and thermal stress, and a near-term failure of another defrost component is common. Since the rear access panel is already off and all three components are right there next to each other, replacing them together in a single session prevents a repeat repair down the road. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Frigidaire/Electrolux OEM part, but is manufactured to match the L47-22F specification (opening at approximately 47°F), bi-metal switching function, cylindrical body, two-blue-wire connector configuration, and tube-mount clip of the original 242046001 defrost termination thermostat used in compatible Frigidaire, Electrolux, Crosley, Gibson, Kelvinator, Tappan, Westinghouse, and Kenmore refrigerators.

215846604 Genuine OEM Frigidaire Refrigerator Defrost Timer The 215846604 is a genuine Frigidaire OEM defrost timer, mounted inside the refrigerator near the top of the back wall. This timer is the scheduler for the defrost circuit: on a set cycle, it switches the refrigerator out of normal cooling mode and into a defrost mode, energizing the defrost heater long enough to melt any frost that has accumulated on the evaporator coil, then switches back to cooling once defrost is complete. This cycle repeats automatically for as long as the refrigerator runs, which is why a healthy timer is essential to preventing frost buildup in the first place. Rated 120V with a 6 hour, 21 minute cycle, measuring approximately 1.5"H x 3.2"L x 2.3"W. When this timer fails, the defrost heater never gets the signal — and the electrical energy — it needs to run, so frost keeps accumulating on the coil unchecked. A failing timer typically shows up as heavy frost or ice buildup on the evaporator coil, a freezer that runs too cold or too warm, or a refrigerator section that isn't cooling properly because ice-caked coils can't transfer heat efficiently anymore. It directly replaces AP2592907, 08003824, 08011620, 1748201, 241809401, 241809402, 442754, 5300541134, 5300800692, 5308003824, AH423802, EA423802, PS423802, and CC304. Quick Answer The 215846604 Genuine OEM Frigidaire Refrigerator Defrost Timer fixes Frigidaire, Kenmore, Crosley, Kelvinator, Gibson, Tappan, and Westinghouse refrigerators and freezers with heavy frost or ice buildup on the evaporator coil, a freezer running too warm or too cold, or a refrigerator section not cooling properly. 120V, 6 hour 21 minute defrost cycle.

Repair Difficulty Easy — basic tools required Quantity 1 defrost timer Compatible Brands Frigidaire, Kenmore, Crosley, Kelvinator, Gibson, Tappan, Westinghouse Installation Notes ⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning, and move perishable food to a cooler for the duration of the repair. Wear work gloves. Locate the defrost timer control inside the refrigerator, typically near the top of the back wall — on some models it may be located behind a rear access panel or near the control housing instead, so check your specific model if it isn't immediately visible. Photograph the wiring harness connector before disconnecting anything. Use a screwdriver to remove the screws securing the timer in place, then carefully disconnect the wiring harness from the back of the old timer. Connect the wiring harness to the new 215846604 timer, matching the original connector orientation, and secure it in place with the mounting screws. Restore power and monitor the refrigerator over the next day to confirm the defrost cycle is running on schedule and frost is no longer accumulating excessively on the coil. Tools needed: screwdriver, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions How do I know if the timer is actually the problem and not the defrost heater or thermostat? The defrost timer, defrost heater, and defrost thermostat all work together in the same circuit, so it's worth testing the other two before assuming the timer has failed. Test the defrost thermostat and the defrost heater with a multimeter — if both test as functioning properly, it's very likely the timer is the faulty component causing the defrost cycle not to run. There's heavy frost or ice on the coil. Is that definitely the timer? It's one of the most common causes. If the timer fails to advance into the defrost portion of its cycle, the heater never gets the signal or the power it needs to run, so frost keeps accumulating on the evaporator coil with nothing to melt it off. This is exactly the scenario this timer is designed to prevent when it's working correctly. What's the difference between 215846604 and 215846602? These are different timers with different cycle lengths — this 215846604 runs a 6 hour, 21 minute cycle, while 215846602 runs a 6 hour, 40 minute cycle and replaces a separate group of part numbers. They are not interchangeable, so always confirm which specific number your refrigerator's parts diagram calls for before ordering. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Frigidaire to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original cycle timing, switch contacts, and wiring harness configuration of the defrost timer originally installed in your refrigerator.

XPARTCO DA61-14306A Refrigerator Drain Tube Clip The XPARTCO DA61-14306A is an aftermarket replacement drain tube clip (also called a drain clip or defrost drain heater plate) compatible with select Samsung French door and side-by-side refrigerators. This clip solves one of the most common and frustrating Samsung refrigerator problems: water and ice collecting under the crisper or deli drawer. The clip attaches to the defrost heater in the evaporator compartment and extends a metal tab down into the defrost drain opening — conducting heat directly into the drain line during each defrost cycle. That heat keeps the drain from freezing shut, so meltwater can flow freely down to the drain pan instead of backing up and refreezing inside the refrigerator. When the defrost drain freezes over, meltwater from the defrost cycle has nowhere to go. It backs up, spills over into the fresh food compartment, and forms a sheet of ice under the crisper drawers — the signature Samsung symptom. The DA61-14306A is the improved design that supersedes the earlier DA61-06796A, with a longer heat-transfer tab that reaches further into the drain line. Metal construction, heat-resistant, designed for the freezer environment. It directly replaces DA61-14306A, DA61-06796A, AP7020625, PS16622001, EAP16622001, and PD00076719. Important: the clip alone won't fix a drain that is already frozen or clogged — see the installation notes below. Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools. Quick Answer The XPARTCO DA61-14306A Refrigerator Drain Tube Clip fixes Samsung French door and side-by-side refrigerators with water pooling or ice sheets forming under the crisper/deli drawer, a frozen defrost drain, or water leaking onto the floor. The clip extends the defrost heater's warmth into the drain line so it can't freeze shut. Improved design superseding DA61-06796A. Metal, heat-resistant. Replaces DA61-06796A, AP7020625, PS16622001, EAP16622001, PD00076719. Important: you must also thaw and clear the existing drain line — the clip prevents future freezing but won't clear an existing blockage. Common Problems This Part Fixes Water collecting under the crisper or deli drawer — the classic Samsung frozen-drain symptom Sheet of ice forming under the crisper drawers or on the floor of the fresh food compartment Water leaking out of the refrigerator onto the kitchen floor Defrost drain frozen shut — meltwater can't reach the drain pan Ice buildup in the evaporator drain trough Repeated re-freezing of the drain line after manual thawing Food at the back of the fresh food compartment freezing (a related airflow/defrost symptom) Drain clip missing, broken, or the original DA61-06796A not reaching far enough into the drain Cross Reference Information Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models. For your convenience, we've included any known superseded, alternate, or cross-reference part numbers that match this item. Replaces Part Numbers This drain tube clip directly replaces the following OEM and cross-reference part numbers: DA61-14306A, DA61-06796A, AP7020625, ASM30895, PD00076719, EAP16622001, PS16622001. DA61-14306A is the improved design that supersedes DA61-06796A. If your refrigerator originally used the DA61-06796A, the DA61-14306A is a direct upgrade. Contact our support team with your model number if you need confirmation before ordering. Compatibility This drain tube clip is compatible with select Samsung refrigerators, including: Samsung French door refrigerators — RF-series models experiencing defrost drain freezing (including RF266ABRS/XAA and related) Samsung French door refrigerators — RFG-series models (including RFG298HDBP/XAA and related) Samsung side-by-side refrigerators — select models with the same evaporator drain design Samsung bottom-freezer refrigerators — select models Note: This clip fits a broad range of Samsung refrigerators with the common evaporator drain design. Because it's an improved replacement for the DA61-06796A, it may fit models where the original clip is listed even if the DA61-14306A isn't shown in the parts diagram. Always verify your refrigerator's model number before ordering. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure. Key Features Drain tube clip (drain clip / defrost drain heater plate) — extends the defrost heater's warmth into the drain line to prevent it from freezing shut Solves the notorious Samsung "water and ice under the crisper drawer" problem at its root cause Improved design with a longer heat-transfer tab that reaches further into the drain than the original DA61-06796A Keeps the defrost drain open so meltwater flows freely to the drain pan instead of backing up into the fresh food compartment Durable, heat-resistant metal construction designed for the freezer environment Direct supersession of DA61-06796A — a drop-in upgrade for models that originally used the older clip Replaces AP7020625, PS16622001, EAP16622001, and PD00076719 Compatible with Samsung French door, side-by-side, and bottom-freezer refrigerators Inexpensive fix for a problem that otherwise leads to repeated manual defrosting Aftermarket replacement built to OEM-equivalent quality standards DIY repair — installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools Product Specifications Part Number XPDA61-14306A Supersedes DA61-06796A Part Type Refrigerator Drain Tube Clip (Defrost Drain Heater Plate) Condition Aftermarket Replacement Application French Door, Side-by-Side & Bottom-Freezer Refrigerators (Samsung) Function Conducts defrost heater warmth into the drain line to prevent freezing Material Heat-resistant metal Location Evaporator compartment — clips to defrost heater, extends into drain opening Also Known As Drain clip, defrost drain clip, drain heater plate Often Paired With Drain Tube (DA97-04049D, sold separately) Compatible Brands Samsung Installation Notes ⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator First — CRITICAL: Thaw and Clear the Drain Line, or the Repair Won't Work Unplug the refrigerator and safely store any food that could spoil. Wear work gloves. This is the most important thing to understand about this repair: installing the clip alone will NOT fix a drain that is already frozen or clogged. The clip prevents the drain from freezing in the future — it does not clear an existing blockage. You must first thaw and clear the drain line completely, or water will continue to back up. Remove the shelves, drawers, and the rear evaporator access panel in the freezer to expose the evaporator coils, defrost heater, and drain trough. If there's ice buildup, let it thaw fully — never chip or pry ice off the evaporator coils, as the aluminum fins damage easily. Thaw the drain line: hot water in a pump sprayer or garden sprayer works well to flush the drain passage from the evaporator down to the compressor compartment. Keep flushing until water flows freely all the way through to the drain pan. Also inspect the drain tube itself (Samsung DA97-04049D, sold separately) — lint and debris commonly build up inside it, and a clogged tube will re-block the drain no matter what clip you install. If the tube is dirty or restricted, replace it. Once the drain is confirmed clear and flowing, remove any old drain clip that's present. Install the new DA61-14306A by clipping it securely onto the defrost heater element and seating the heat-transfer tab down into the drain opening — good metal-to-metal contact with the heater is essential, since the clip works by conducting heat. Confirm the tab reaches into the drain passage. Reinstall the evaporator panel, shelves, and drawers, plug the refrigerator back in, and monitor over the next few defrost cycles to confirm water is reaching the drain pan and no ice is re-forming under the crisper. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, pump sprayer or garden sprayer (for hot water), towels, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions Why is water and ice collecting under my crisper drawer? This is the classic symptom of a frozen defrost drain, and it's extremely common on Samsung refrigerators. Here's the chain of events: your refrigerator periodically runs a defrost cycle to melt frost off the evaporator coils. That meltwater is supposed to run down a drain trough, through a drain tube, and into a pan near the compressor where it evaporates. But if the drain opening freezes shut, the meltwater has nowhere to go — it backs up, overflows the trough, and runs forward into the fresh food compartment, where it pools and refreezes under the crisper drawers. Each defrost cycle adds more water, building a thicker sheet of ice. The DA61-14306A clip fixes the root cause by extending heat from the defrost heater into the drain, keeping it thawed so water can always escape. Will installing this clip fix my problem by itself? Not by itself — and this is critical to understand before you start. The clip prevents the drain from freezing going forward, but it does not clear a drain that's already blocked. If your drain line is currently frozen or clogged with debris, you must thaw and flush it clear first, or water will keep backing up regardless of the new clip. Use hot water in a pump sprayer to flush the drain passage from the evaporator down to the compressor compartment until water flows freely. Additionally, the drain tube running to the compressor compartment (Samsung DA97-04049D) often accumulates lint and debris — appliance technicians routinely recommend replacing it as part of this repair. Skipping these steps is the number one reason people install the clip and see no improvement. What's the difference between DA61-14306A and DA61-06796A? They serve the same function, but the DA61-14306A is the improved, later design. Its heat-transfer tab is longer and reaches further into the drain line, so it delivers heat more effectively deep into the passage where freezing typically starts. The DA61-06796A was the earlier version. If your refrigerator's parts diagram shows DA61-06796A, the DA61-14306A is a direct drop-in upgrade — many customers specifically seek out the newer clip for this reason. Both mount to the defrost heater the same way. My model isn't listed as compatible — can I still use this? Possibly. Because the DA61-14306A is an improved replacement for the widely-used DA61-06796A, it fits a broad range of Samsung refrigerators with the common evaporator drain design — sometimes including models where the parts lookup doesn't list it explicitly. Appliance technicians have confirmed it can be used on models beyond its official listing. That said, the effectiveness of the repair still depends entirely on the drain line being thoroughly cleared. If your model isn't listed and you're unsure, contact our support team with your model number and we'll help confirm fit. Should I also replace the drain tube? In most cases, yes — appliance technicians routinely recommend it. The drain tube (Samsung DA97-04049D, sold separately) runs from the evaporator section down to the compressor compartment, and over years of use it accumulates lint, dust, and debris that restrict flow. Even with a working drain clip keeping the upper drain thawed, a clogged tube downstream will still cause water to back up. Since you'll already have the refrigerator open for the clip installation, inspecting and replacing the tube at the same time is the efficient move — and it's a common reason the repair fails when people skip it. 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 heat-resistant metal to match the fit, heat-transfer function, defrost heater mounting, and drain-tab geometry of the original DA61-14306A drain tube clip used in compatible Samsung French door, side-by-side, and bottom-freezer refrigerators.

WP3387747 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer Heating Element The WP3387747 is a Genuine OEM Whirlpool replacement dryer heating element assembly compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, Roper, Estate, Crosley, Inglis, Admiral, Jenn-Air, and Magic Chef electric dryers — particularly higher-capacity and newer-generation Duet, Cabrio, HE, and GEW/GEQ series models. The heating element is the primary heat source in an electric dryer — a nickel-chromium resistance coil wound on ceramic insulators inside a steel housing. When the coil burns through, the circuit opens and the dryer produces no heat. When the coil shorts to the housing, the dryer runs too hot or heats continuously after the cycle ends — which is a fire hazard requiring immediate repair. This Genuine OEM part is manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications and is rated at 5200W / 240V with two 5/16" male terminals. Note: Whirlpool updated the wattage of this element from the original 5400W down to 5200W — the WP3387747 at 5200W is the correct current OEM replacement for all compatible models. The thermostat and thermal fuse are not included and should be inspected and replaced separately if needed. It directly replaces 3387747, W11344457, W11045584, 80003, 525502, AP6008281, PS11741416, and additional cross-reference numbers. Installs in 20–45 minutes with basic hand tools.

The heating element housing is accessible from the lower front panel of the dryer on most Duet/Cabrio HE models — remove the front kick panel to access the heater housing without fully disassembling the dryer. For other models, remove the back panel. Before touching the new element, review the wiring layout of the old element so you can reconnect wires to the correct terminals. Do not touch the nickel-chromium coil wire with bare hands at any point — skin oils on the wire cause hot spots that will prematurely burn the element. Handle only by the frame, terminals, and housing. Photograph the existing wiring before disconnecting. Disconnect the element terminal wires and the thermostat and thermal fuse wires. Unscrew the housing and remove the old element. Install the new WP3387747 element, reconnect all wiring in the same positions, reinstall the housing and panels, restore power, and run a test heat cycle. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver. Frequently Asked Questions My original element was 5400W but this one is 5200W — is that correct? Yes — Whirlpool intentionally updated the wattage of this heating element from 5400W to 5200W during a design revision. The WP3387747 at 5200W is the current correct OEM replacement for all compatible models that previously used the higher-wattage element. While the wattage is slightly lower, the element is designed to provide equivalent drying performance within the thermal control system of compatible dryers. The updated wattage is by manufacturer design and does not indicate a defect or an incorrect part. How do I test if the heating element has failed? Unplug the dryer and disconnect the element terminals. Set your multimeter to continuity or resistance mode. A working element shows resistance — typically around 9–12 ohms for a 5200W/240V element. An open circuit confirms the coil has burned through. Also test each terminal individually against the metal housing frame — a working element shows no continuity between either terminal and the housing. If continuity exists between a terminal and the housing, the element coil is shorted to ground and must be replaced immediately — do not operate the dryer in this condition. What is the difference between WP3387747 and 279838? Both are Genuine OEM Whirlpool dryer heating elements, but they are for different model generations and are not interchangeable. The 279838 (5400W, 240V) is for standard-capacity Whirlpool-family dryers — many WTW/NED series and standard front-load models. The WP3387747 (5200W, 240V) is for higher-capacity and newer-generation models including Whirlpool Duet, Cabrio, HE, and GEW/GEQ series. Always verify your exact model number to confirm which heating element is correct for your dryer before ordering. Why is it important not to touch the element coil wire? The heating element coil is made of nickel-chromium wire that reaches very high temperatures during operation. Oils from skin contact leave microscopic residue on the wire that creates hot spots when the element heats up — these hot spots cause premature burnout at the contaminated area, often within a few months of installation. Handle the new element by its steel frame, ceramic insulators, and terminals only. If the coil wire is accidentally touched, wipe the contact area with a dry cloth or isopropyl alcohol before installation. 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.

DA32-00029X Genuine OEM Samsung Refrigerator Temperature Sensor The DA32-00029X is a Genuine OEM Samsung replacement refrigerator temperature sensor compatible with select Samsung side-by-side and French door refrigerators, as well as related Kenmore Samsung-built models. This NTC (negative temperature coefficient) thermistor continuously monitors the temperature inside the refrigerator and sends resistance-based readings to the electronic control board, which uses this data to cycle the compressor, fans, and defrost heaters to maintain accurate, consistent temperatures throughout the appliance. As the thermistor heats up or cools down, its electrical resistance changes predictably, allowing the control board to calculate the exact temperature in real time. When this sensor fails — whether shorted, open, or providing drifted/inaccurate readings — the refrigerator may run too cold or too warm, cycle excessively, fail to maintain set temperatures, run continuously, ice up the evaporator, or display temperature-related fault codes. As a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Samsung to factory specifications, the DA32-00029X is rated approximately 13.2 kΩ at 20°C (68°F) when functioning correctly. It is one of the variants in the DA32-00029 sensor family — Samsung uses different production-run variants (M, N, Q, U, X) across model generations, all functionally similar but with different wire harness connectors. Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools. Quick Answer The DA32-00029X Genuine OEM Samsung Refrigerator Temperature Sensor fixes Samsung side-by-side and French door refrigerators that run too cold or warm, cycle excessively, freeze up the evaporator, fail to maintain set temperatures, or display temperature-related fault codes.

Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Samsung refrigerators typically have multiple temperature sensors — fresh food compartment, freezer compartment, and evaporator/defrost sensors — confirm which sensor location matches your symptom and parts diagram before starting. The fresh food and freezer sensors are typically clipped to a wall or shelf bracket inside each compartment, while evaporator/defrost sensors are mounted near the evaporator coils behind a rear access panel. Take a photo of the sensor mounting and wire routing before removing. Disconnect the sensor's wire connector (gently — the molex connectors can be fragile) and release the sensor from its mounting clip. Inspect the connector for corrosion or heat discoloration on the wires — discoloration indicates prior overheating in that area. Install the new DA32-00029X sensor in the same position, reseat the connector firmly, and secure the mounting clip. Restore power, allow several hours for the refrigerator to return to its set temperature, and confirm stable temperature operation before reloading with food. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, multimeter (for testing), work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions How do I know if the temperature sensor has failed? Unplug the refrigerator, disconnect the sensor's connector, and set your multimeter to resistance mode. At room temperature (around 20°C/68°F), a working NTC thermistor should read approximately 13.2 kΩ. If the sensor reads 0 ohms, it has shorted internally. If it reads infinite resistance (open circuit, often shown as "OL" on the multimeter), the sensor has failed open. Either reading confirms the sensor needs replacement. If the sensor reads close to 13.2 kΩ at room temperature but the refrigerator still has temperature problems, the control board or another sensor in the system may be the actual cause. My Samsung refrigerator has multiple temperature sensors — which one do I replace? Samsung refrigerators typically use multiple temperature sensors: one in the fresh food compartment, one in the freezer compartment, and one near the evaporator coils (often called the defrost sensor). The DA32-00029X is used as the fresh food or freezer compartment temperature sensor on select Samsung models. Confirm the exact mounting location for your specific symptom (e.g., fresh food too warm vs. freezer too cold) and your refrigerator's parts diagram before ordering. The evaporator/defrost sensor is typically a different part number, so don't assume the DA32-00029X covers all sensor positions. What is the difference between DA32-00029X and DA32-00029M, N, Q, or U? These are all variants of the same Samsung refrigerator temperature sensor family. They share the same NTC thermistor design and resistance characteristics (approximately 13.2 kΩ at 20°C), but use different wire harness connector configurations to match different refrigerator generations and wiring designs. The X variant is used on select Samsung side-by-side and French door models, while M, N, Q, and U variants appear on other model groups. They are not automatically interchangeable — match the variant to your refrigerator's exact part diagram, or visually compare connector styles before ordering. My Samsung fridge is icing up the back wall — could this be the sensor? Possibly, yes. If the temperature sensor near the evaporator (the defrost sensor) is misreporting temperature, the control board may not trigger the defrost cycle when needed, allowing ice to build up on the evaporator coils. Eventually this ice migrates to the rear interior wall as a frozen sheet. If your symptom is back-wall icing combined with poor cooling, the evaporator sensor is a likely cause — but confirm whether the DA32-00029X is the evaporator sensor on your specific model, or whether your model uses a different part number for that position. Always verify against your model's parts diagram. Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part? This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Samsung to factory specifications. It is the exact same temperature sensor installed in compatible Samsung side-by-side and French door refrigerators (and Kenmore Samsung-built models) from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.
