XPARTCO DC47-00016A Dryer Thermal Fuse The XPARTCO DC47-00016A is an aftermarket replacement thermal fuse for Samsung dryers. Mounted on the blower housing near the heat source, this fuse is a one-time safety device: as long as the dryer stays within its normal operating temperature, it does nothing at all, but the instant internal temperatures climb dangerously high — almost always from restricted airflow — the fuse permanently opens the circuit and cuts power to the dryer. That's why a blown thermal fuse 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. This fuse terminates in 1/4" male spade connectors for a direct plug-in fit. Unlike a thermostat, a thermal fuse cannot be reset once it blows — it must be replaced. Critically, 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 the fuse is designed to react to. A failing thermistor can also cause repeated fuse blows, since the two work together to regulate temperature.

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, usually alongside the thermistor. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting the spade terminals from the old fuse. Remove the mounting screw holding the fuse in place and pull it free, disconnecting both spade terminal wires. 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 DC47-00016A in the same mounting position, reconnect both spade 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 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 thermistor and thermostat checked as well, since a failing thermistor can also trigger repeated fuse blows. Can I just reset the thermal fuse instead of replacing it? No. Unlike a thermostat, a thermal fuse is a one-time safety device — once it blows, its internal circuit is permanently broken and it cannot be reset or repaired. Replacement is the only option. Should I replace the thermistor at the same time as the fuse? It's worth strongly considering, and it's a common manufacturer recommendation. The thermistor and thermal fuse work together to manage temperature, and a failing thermistor can cause the dryer to run hotter than it should, leading directly to repeated fuse blows. Replacing both together, especially if your dryer has blown this fuse more than once, addresses the more likely root cause rather than just the symptom. My clothes came out extremely hot right before the dryer died. Is that related? Yes, this is a classic warning sign. Clothes coming out unusually hot indicates the dryer was already running hotter than normal, which is exactly the condition that leads to a blown thermal fuse. If you noticed this before the dryer stopped working, it strongly points to a ventilation or airflow problem that should be fully addressed before running the dryer again. 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, spade terminal connections, and mounting configuration of the original DC47-00016A thermal fuse used in compatible Samsung, LG, and Kenmore dryers.

XPARTCO WE1M1002 Dryer Fuse, 30 AMP 120V The XPARTCO WE1M1002 is an aftermarket replacement power fuse for GE and Hotpoint dryers, commonly used on GE's commercial and stacked laundry center dryer models. This is a CCMR-class fuse — a current-limiting, fast-acting power fuse — and it plays a fundamentally different protective role than a thermal cut-off fuse. Rather than reacting to excess heat from restricted airflow, this fuse reacts to electrical faults: if the dryer experiences a short circuit or a current overload beyond what the wiring is rated to handle, this fuse opens the circuit immediately to prevent damage to the dryer's electrical components. Rated 30A, 120V, measuring approximately 3/8"H x 3/8"W x 1-1/2"D. Because this fuse protects against electrical faults rather than heat buildup, a blown WE1M1002 points toward a different diagnostic path than a thermal fuse would: rather than checking the exhaust venting, the more relevant checks are the dryer's wiring, connections, and any component that may have shorted internally. A blown fuse produces a complete loss of power to the dryer — no lights, no display, no response to any control. It directly replaces WE01M1002, 1974262, AP5270172, PS3496852, and EAP3496852. Quick Answer The XPARTCO WE1M1002 Dryer Fuse fixes GE and Hotpoint dryers, including commercial and stacked laundry center models, that have completely lost power — no lights, no display, no response to any control.

This is a power/overcurrent fuse, not a thermal cut-off fuse — if it's blown, check the dryer's wiring and electrical connections for a short or fault rather than the exhaust venting. Common Problems This Part Fixes Dryer has completely lost power — no lights, no display, no response to any control Dryer that stopped working suddenly, especially after an electrical fault or short Dryer that trips repeatedly after a wiring or component issue elsewhere in the unit Continuity test shows an open circuit across the old fuse Complete electrical dead-out on a commercial or stacked laundry center dryer Cross Reference Information Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models.

Wear work gloves. Locate the fuse holder inside the dryer's electrical panel or control housing — access varies by model, so consult your unit's service diagram. Before removing the old fuse, visually inspect nearby wiring and connections for signs of a short, such as scorching, melted insulation, or a loose connection, since this fuse type responds to electrical faults rather than heat buildup from airflow issues. Test the old fuse with a multimeter to confirm it's open (no continuity) before assuming it needs replacement. Remove the old fuse from its holder and install the new WE1M1002 in the same position, making sure it seats fully and securely. Restore power and test the dryer to confirm normal operation. If the new fuse blows again shortly after installation, stop and have a qualified technician diagnose the underlying electrical fault before continuing, since repeatedly replacing this fuse without addressing the root cause can be a sign of a more serious wiring or component issue. Tools needed: fuse puller or needle-nose pliers, multimeter, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions How is this different from a thermal cut-off fuse? They protect against completely different problems. A thermal cut-off fuse reacts to excess heat, usually from restricted exhaust airflow, and its diagnosis typically starts with checking the venting. This WE1M1002 is a CCMR-class power fuse that reacts to electrical faults — a short circuit or current overload — and its diagnosis should focus on the dryer's wiring and electrical connections rather than the exhaust system. My dryer has completely no power at all. Is this the fuse? It's a strong possibility, especially if this occurred suddenly or followed any unusual electrical event. Since this fuse protects the dryer's power circuit broadly, a blown fuse can result in a total loss of power — no lights, no display, nothing. Test it with a multimeter for continuity before replacing to confirm. I replaced the fuse and it blew again right away. What should I do? This is a sign that the underlying electrical fault that blew the original fuse hasn't been addressed. Unlike a thermal fuse blowing from airflow restriction, a repeat blow on this type of fuse points to an ongoing short circuit or wiring problem elsewhere in the dryer. Stop and have a qualified technician trace and repair the fault rather than continuing to replace fuses, since the underlying issue could pose a safety risk if left unresolved. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine GE OEM part, but is manufactured to match the electrical rating and fuse class of the original WE1M1002 power fuse used in compatible GE, Hotpoint, and RCA dryers.

XPARTCO DC96-00887C - DC47-00018A Dryer Thermostat Set The XPARTCO DC96-00887C / DC47-00018A is an aftermarket replacement 2-piece thermal protection set for Samsung and select Kenmore electric dryers. These two components sit in different locations along the same heating circuit and guard against overheating in different ways. The DC47-00018A is a true cycling high-limit thermostat — it opens at approximately 260°F to cut power to the heating element, then automatically closes again once the temperature drops to around 210°F, letting the dryer resume heating without any part replacement needed. The DC96-00887C, despite frequently being labeled a "thermostat" by third-party sellers, is actually a one-time thermal fuse mounted with its bracket on the blower housing — once it opens from excess heat, it stays open permanently and must be physically replaced. Because these two parts monitor different points in the same circuit, they tend to be replaced together when a dryer has been running hot: if the high-limit thermostat has been cycling excessively or failed to catch a temperature spike, the downstream thermal fuse can end up blowing as the last line of defense. Symptoms of failure in this circuit include no heat or insufficient heat, drying that takes too long, the dryer shutting off too soon, or the timer failing to advance.

Wear work gloves. Access is typically through the rear panel, near the blower housing and heater duct assembly where both components are mounted. Photograph the wiring connections before disconnecting anything, since the thermal fuse and thermostat can look similar at a glance and are easy to install in the wrong position. Test each old component with a multimeter for continuity if you want to confirm which has actually failed before replacing both — the DC47-00018A thermostat and DC96-00887C fuse can each be checked this way. Remove each old component from its mounting position, noting orientation and location, and disconnect its wiring. Install the DC47-00018A thermostat and the DC96-00887C fuse (with its bracket) from this set in the same positions as the parts they replace, reconnecting wiring exactly as photographed. Reassemble the panel, restore power, and run a full test cycle to confirm normal, consistent heating with no premature shutoffs. Tools needed: Phillips or nut driver (model-dependent), multimeter (recommended), work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions Is DC96-00887C really a thermostat, or something else? Different sellers call it different things. This is a genuinely common point of confusion in the marketplace, and it's worth clearing up: DC96-00887C is actually a one-time thermal fuse mounted with its bracket on the blower housing, even though many third-party listings label it a "thermostat." The distinction matters for how you diagnose and handle it — once this fuse blows from excess heat, it stays open permanently and must be physically replaced, unlike a true thermostat (like the DC47-00018A in this same set) which resets itself automatically once things cool down. Why replace both parts together instead of just the one that failed? These two components sit at different points in the same overheat-protection circuit, and a problem with one often puts stress on the other. If the high-limit thermostat has been cycling excessively or didn't catch a temperature spike in time, the downstream thermal fuse can end up blowing as the last line of defense. Replacing both together addresses the full circuit rather than risking a second failure and a second repair shortly after. My dryer shuts off before the load is fully dry. Is that this set? It's a strong possibility. If the high-limit thermostat is tripping prematurely — opening at a lower temperature than it should, or failing to reset properly — the dryer can cut heat and end the cycle early even though the load isn't actually dry yet. This is one of the more common symptoms this thermostat set addresses. Is this an OEM or aftermarket set? This is an aftermarket replacement set built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Samsung OEM set, but each component is manufactured to match the electrical specifications, opening/reset temperatures, and mounting configuration of the original DC96-00887C thermal fuse and DC47-00018A high-limit thermostat used in compatible Samsung and Kenmore electric dryers.

XPARTCO XP6974 Dryer Thermostat Kit Replaces WP3387134, WP3392519, W10900067, 279816 The XPARTCO XP6974 is an aftermarket dryer thermostat kit containing four thermal components for Whirlpool-family electric and gas dryers including Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, Roper, Admiral, Estate, Crosley, Inglis, and Magic Chef. The kit includes the cycling thermostat (WP3387134), thermal fuse (WP3392519), high-limit thermostat and thermal cut-off kit (279816 / W10900067) — the complete set of heat-sensing and safety components that regulate dryer temperature and prevent dangerous overheating. These four components work together to control and protect the dryer's heating system. When any one of them fails, the dryer may produce no heat, overheat, run too long, or stop mid-cycle. Because a failed thermal fuse is almost always caused by an underlying overheating condition that also stresses the other components, replacing all four together in a single repair is the recommended approach. Includes all wiring hardware needed for installation. Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools. Quick Answer The XPARTCO XP6974 Dryer Thermostat Kit fixes Whirlpool-family dryers that produce no heat, overheat, take too long to dry, or stop mid-cycle. Includes all four thermal components: cycling thermostat (L155-25), thermal fuse (196°F), high-limit thermostat (L250-80), and thermal cut-off (309°F). Compatible with Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, Roper, Admiral, Estate, Crosley, Inglis, and Magic Chef electric and gas dryers. Common Problems This Kit Fixes Dryer produces no heat — thermal fuse or high-limit thermostat has blown Dryer takes multiple cycles or very long time to dry clothes Dryer overheats — clothes or drum too hot to touch after a cycle Dryer shuts off mid-cycle and will not restart Dryer tumbles normally but generates no heat at all Dryer runs too long because cycling thermostat is not regulating temperature Repeated thermal fuse failures — underlying thermostat fault causing recurring overheating What's in the Kit Part 1 of 4 WP3387134 Cycling Thermostat Rated L155-25 · Monitors drum air temperature and cycles the heating element on and off to maintain the set drying temperature · Located on the exhaust duct or blower housing · Should show closed continuity at room temperature Part 2 of 4 WP3392519 Thermal Fuse Opens at 196°F (91°C) · One-time safety device located on the exhaust duct · Permanently interrupts power to the heating element if the dryer overheats · Cannot be reset — must be replaced if blown · Most common cause of no-heat in Whirlpool-family dryers Part 3 of 4 High-Limit Thermostat (279816 / W10900067) Rated L250-80 · Mounted on the heating element housing · Opens at approximately 250°F to cut power to the heating element if temperature exceeds safe limits · Resets automatically when it cools · Should show closed continuity at room temperature Part 4 of 4 Thermal Cut-Off Fuse (3977393 / 279816 kit) Opens at 309°F · Backup one-time safety device on the heating element housing · Permanently interrupts power to the heating element if the high-limit thermostat fails to open · Cannot be reset — must be replaced if blown Replaces Part Numbers WP3387134 Cycling Thermostat cross-references: WP3387134, WP3387134VP, 3387134, 3387135, 3387139, 306910, 3-6910, ET187, AP6008270, PS11741405 WP3392519 Thermal Fuse cross-references: WP3392519, WP3392519VP, 3392519, 3388651, 694511, 80005, ET401, G4AP0500, AP6008325, PS11741460 279816 High-Limit Thermostat and Thermal Cut-Off Kit cross-references: 279816, 279816VP, W10900067, 3977393, 3977767, WP3977767, WP3977767VP, 3399848, 3399693, 2651, AP3094244, AH334299, EA334299, EAP334299, PS334299 If your part number is not listed above, contact our support team before ordering and we will verify compatibility.

Clean the full length of the exhaust duct before or after this repair. If the vent is clear, a failed cycling thermostat or high-limit thermostat is likely the root cause. Key Features Complete 4-part thermal kit — covers the cycling thermostat, thermal fuse, high-limit thermostat, and thermal cut-off in a single repair Cycling thermostat (L155-25) — regulates drum temperature to maintain consistent, efficient drying Thermal fuse (196°F) — one-time safety device that permanently interrupts heat if the dryer overheats High-limit thermostat (L250-80, ~250°F) — cuts power to the heating element when temperature exceeds safe limits; auto-resets Thermal cut-off (309°F) — backup one-time safety device protecting against heating element runaway Replacing all four parts together ensures the complete thermal circuit is renewed — prevents recurrence if a failing thermostat caused the fuse to blow Includes all wiring hardware for installation Compatible with 11 major appliance brands on the Whirlpool platform Aftermarket replacement built to OEM-equivalent quality standards DIY repair — installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools Product Specifications Kit Part Number XP6974 Condition Aftermarket Replacement Application Gas and Electric Dryers Kit Includes 1x WP3387134 Cycling Thermostat, 1x WP3392519 Thermal Fuse, 1x High-Limit Thermostat (L250-80), 1x Thermal Cut-Off Fuse (309°F), wiring hardware Cycling Thermostat Rating L155-25 (closes at 155°F, opens at 25°F differential) Thermal Fuse Trip Temp 196°F (91°C) — one-time, non-resettable High-Limit Thermostat Rating L250-80 (opens at ~250°F) — auto-resets Thermal Cut-Off Trip Temp 309°F — one-time, non-resettable Compatible Brands Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, Roper, Admiral, Estate, Crosley, Inglis, Magic Chef Installation Notes ⚠️ Unplug Dryer and Shut Off Gas Before Starting Disconnect power (and shut off gas for gas dryers) before beginning. Remove the back panel of the dryer to access the heating element housing and exhaust duct. The thermal fuse (WP3392519) and cycling thermostat (WP3387134) are located on the exhaust duct or blower housing — disconnect the wires, unscrew the mounting screws, and install the new parts in the same positions. The high-limit thermostat and thermal cut-off (279816 kit) are located on the heating element housing — disconnect the wires and unscrew the mounting screws to remove the old parts and install the new ones. Reconnect all wires to the correct terminals — take a photo before disconnecting to reference during reinstallation. Reassemble the back panel, restore power, and run a test cycle to verify heat. Tip: Before running the dryer, also clean the full length of the exhaust duct — a clogged vent is the most common root cause of dryer overheating and repeated thermal fuse failures. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers. Frequently Asked Questions What does each part in this kit do? The cycling thermostat (WP3387134) monitors the air temperature in the exhaust duct and cycles the heating element on and off to maintain the correct drying temperature — it is the part that controls how hot the dryer gets during normal operation. The thermal fuse (WP3392519) is a one-time safety device that permanently cuts power to the heating element if the dryer overheats above 196°F — it is the most common cause of no-heat in Whirlpool-family dryers. The high-limit thermostat opens at approximately 250°F to cut heating element power if temperature gets too high, and resets automatically when it cools. The thermal cut-off is a backup one-time fuse on the heating element that opens at 309°F if the high-limit thermostat fails to protect the heater. Why should I replace all four parts instead of just the one that failed? When a thermal fuse blows, it almost always blew because the dryer overheated — and that overheating event put significant stress on all the other thermal components as well. A failing cycling thermostat is the most common cause of repeated thermal fuse failures: if the cycling thermostat stops regulating temperature correctly, the dryer runs too hot, the high-limit thermostat is repeatedly stressed, and the thermal fuse eventually blows. Replacing just the fuse without replacing the cycling thermostat means the same overheating will blow the new fuse. Replacing all four parts at once eliminates that risk in a single repair. How do I test these parts with a multimeter? Set the multimeter to continuity or resistance mode. The thermal fuse (WP3392519), cycling thermostat (WP3387134), and high-limit thermostat should all show closed continuity (near-zero resistance) at room temperature. The thermal cut-off should also show closed continuity at room temperature. Any part that reads open (no continuity / infinite resistance) at room temperature has failed and needs to be replaced. A blown thermal fuse or cut-off will always read open — they are one-time devices and cannot reset. What causes the thermal fuse to blow repeatedly? The most common cause by far is a clogged exhaust vent — lint accumulation inside the dryer duct restricts airflow, causing heat to build up inside the dryer cabinet until the thermal fuse trips. Always clean the full length of the exhaust duct before and after replacing these parts. Other causes include a failing cycling thermostat that is not regulating temperature correctly, a stuck heating element relay, or a dryer placed in an enclosed space without adequate ventilation. Is this kit compatible with both electric and gas dryers? Yes — the XP6974 kit is compatible with both electric and gas Whirlpool-family dryers. Both types use the same cycling thermostat (WP3387134) and thermal fuse (WP3392519). The high-limit thermostat and thermal cut-off (279816 kit) are located on the heating element in electric models and on the burner assembly area in gas models. Always verify your specific model number before ordering to confirm all four parts apply to your dryer.

XPARTCO 279769 Dryer Thermostat Kit The XPARTCO 279769 is an aftermarket replacement thermal cut-off and high-limit thermostat kit for Whirlpool, Kenmore, Roper, KitchenAid, Maytag, Amana, Estate, Crosley, and Admiral electric dryers. This kit bundles two components that guard against overheating at different thresholds: the 3390291 high-limit thermostat (rated L250-80F) monitors internal temperature and interrupts power at approximately 250°F to prevent overheating, then resets itself automatically once the dryer cools — no replacement needed after each trip. The 3977394 thermal cut-off fuse is the backup: rated at 352°F, it's a one-time safety device that permanently opens the circuit if temperatures climb high enough that the thermostat alone didn't prevent an overheat. These two parts are sold together and should be replaced together as a set, since they protect the same circuit and tend to be stressed by the same underlying problem. Whirlpool's own guidance is direct: when the thermal cut-off fails, it usually indicates a venting problem, and failing to correct that airflow issue will cause repetitive failures even with new parts installed. Symptoms include the dryer not heating, clothes coming out extremely hot, or the dryer not running at all. This kit is commonly used alongside heating element 4391960. It directly replaces 279769, 279548, 2796769, 279769VP, 2821, 2004, 3387812, 3389946, 3398671, 3977394, 695563, 80001, SET184, SET198, TJSET198, ET184, AP3094224, AH334278, EA334278, EAP334278, PD00002485, PS334278, WP3390291, AP6008306, 3390291, 696397, and PS11741441. As an aftermarket replacement, the 279769 kit is built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. Quick Answer The XPARTCO 279769 Dryer Thermostat Kit fixes Whirlpool, Kenmore, Roper, KitchenAid, Maytag, Amana, Estate, Crosley, and Admiral electric dryers with no heat, no power at all, or clothes coming out dangerously hot. Includes the 3390291 high-limit thermostat (250°F, auto-resetting) and the 3977394 thermal cut-off fuse (352°F, one-time). Replaces 279548, 2796769, 279769VP, 3387812, 3389946, 3398671, 3977394, 695563, 80001, AP3094224, PS334278, WP3390291, AP6008306, 3390291, 696397, PS11741441. Always inspect and clean the exhaust venting when replacing this kit — a blown thermal fuse is a symptom of restricted airflow, and skipping the vent check leads to repeat failures.

Wear work gloves. Access is typically through the rear panel, near the heating element and blower housing where both components are mounted. Photograph the wiring connections before disconnecting anything, since the thermostat and fuse can be easy to swap positions by mistake. Remove each old component from its mounting position, noting orientation, and disconnect its wiring. Before reassembling, 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. When the thermal cut-off fails, it usually indicates a venting problem, and failing to correct that airflow issue will cause repetitive failures even with these new parts installed. Install the new 3390291 thermostat and 3977394 thermal fuse from this kit in the same positions as the parts they replace, reconnecting wiring exactly as photographed. Reassemble the panel, restore power, and run a full test cycle to confirm normal, consistent heating with no premature shutoffs. Tools needed: Phillips or nut driver (model-dependent), work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions My clothes are coming out extremely hot, hot enough to burn my hands. Is this the right kit? Yes, this is a documented symptom this kit addresses. If the high-limit thermostat fails to regulate temperature correctly, the dryer can run far hotter than it should, producing dangerously hot clothing at the end of a cycle. Whirlpool's own parts support has specifically pointed customers with this exact complaint toward this kit. Stop using the dryer if you notice this symptom and replace both components promptly. Why do I need to replace both the thermostat and the fuse together? These two parts protect the same circuit at different thresholds and tend to fail from the same underlying cause. If the high-limit thermostat isn't regulating temperature correctly, the thermal fuse often ends up blowing as the backup safety measure. Replacing only one risks the other failing again shortly after, so they're sold and serviced together as a set. I replaced this kit and the dryer failed again. What should I check? This is a strong sign the underlying cause — almost always restricted airflow — was never addressed. 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. Failing to correct a venting issue will cause repetitive failures of this kit even when it's brand new. Should I replace the heating element at the same time? It's worth considering if your dryer's heating element (commonly 4391960 on compatible models) is original and has been running alongside a failing thermostat, since sustained overheating can stress the element as well. It's not required, but since you'll already have the panel open for this repair, it's a reasonable time to inspect the element for visible damage. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured to match the temperature thresholds and mounting configuration of the original 279769 high-limit thermostat and thermal cut-off fuse kit used in compatible Whirlpool, Kenmore, Roper, KitchenAid, Maytag, Amana, Estate, Crosley, and Admiral electric dryers.

XPARTCO XP311 Dryer Thermostat Kit for LG The XPARTCO XP311 is an aftermarket replacement 3-piece thermostat kit for LG electric dryers, bundling the thermal fuse, thermistor, and high-limit thermostat that work together to regulate and protect the dryer's heating system. These three components monitor heat continuously during normal operation and step in at different thresholds if something goes wrong, which is why they're commonly replaced as a set — a single overheating event or a slow age-related drift in one part can put stress on the others, and buying them together also saves a second teardown if one of the remaining parts fails soon after. This kit includes: the 6931EL3003D thermal fuse, a one-time safety device that permanently cuts power to the dryer if internal temperatures climb dangerously high; the 6323EL2001B thermistor, a temperature sensor assembly with wire harness that continuously reports drum temperature to the control board so it can regulate heat output during the cycle; and the 6931EL3001E high-limit thermostat, which automatically shuts off the heating element if the dryer's temperature exceeds safe operating limits, without needing to be replaced like the thermal fuse does. Symptoms of failure in this circuit include incomplete drying, insufficient heating time, overheating that damages clothing, and the dryer shutting down prematurely or failing to start at all. It directly replaces AP4440975, 1268366, 6931EL3003E, AH3530485, EA3530485, PS3530485 (thermal fuse); AP4441539, 1268206, 6323EL2001H, AH3529026, EA3529026, PS3529026 (thermistor); and AP4440977, 1268363, 6931EL3001B, 6931EL3001C, AH3530481, EA3530481, PS3530481, 6931EL3001F (high-limit thermostat). Quick Answer The XPARTCO XP311 Dryer Thermostat Kit fixes LG (and select Kenmore) electric dryers with incomplete drying, insufficient heat, overheating that damages clothes, or a dryer that shuts down prematurely or won't start. 3-piece kit: thermal fuse (6931EL3003D), thermistor (6323EL2001B), and high-limit thermostat (6931EL3001E). Replaces 6323EL2001B, 6931EL3001E, 6931EL3003D, and their full cross-reference sets listed below. These three parts share the same circuit and commonly fail together — replacing all three at once is standard practice when one has failed. What's In The Kit Component Part Number Function Thermal Fuse 6931EL3003D One-time safety device — permanently cuts power if the dryer overheats. Cannot be reset once blown. Thermistor 6323EL2001B Continuously senses drum temperature and reports it to the control board to regulate heat output. High-Limit Thermostat 6931EL3001E Automatically shuts off the heating element if temperature exceeds safe limits. Resets automatically, unlike the thermal fuse. Common Problems This Kit Fixes Dryer runs but clothes come out only partially dry Insufficient heating time or reduced heat output Overheating that scorches or damages clothing Dryer shuts down prematurely mid-cycle Dryer won't start at all Inconsistent drying results from cycle to cycle Dryer that recently blew a thermal fuse and needs the related components checked Cross Reference Information Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models.

Wear work gloves. Access is typically through the rear panel or the front, depending on your model — these components are commonly mounted on or near the blower housing and heater duct assembly. Photograph the wiring connections before disconnecting anything, since the thermal fuse, thermistor, and high-limit thermostat can look similar and are easy to swap positions by mistake. Before installing the full kit, it's reasonable to test each old component with a multimeter to confirm which have actually failed — the thermal fuse and high-limit thermostat can each be checked for continuity, though replacing all three together is still standard practice given how this circuit tends to fail. Remove each old component from its mounting position, noting orientation, and disconnect its wiring. Install each new component from the kit in the same position and orientation as the part it replaces, reconnecting wiring exactly as photographed. Reassemble the panel, restore power, and run a full test cycle to confirm normal heating, consistent drying, and no premature shutoffs. Tools needed: Phillips or nut driver (model-dependent), multimeter (recommended), work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions Do I really need to replace all three parts, or can I just replace the one that failed? You can test each component individually with a multimeter and replace only the ones that fail, but there's a good reason these are commonly sold and replaced together: they share the same heating circuit and tend to age or fail around the same time, especially if an overheating event caused the original failure. Replacing all three at once avoids a second teardown if one of the remaining original parts fails again soon after. What's the difference between the thermal fuse and the high-limit thermostat? They sound similar. Both protect against overheating, but they behave very differently. The high-limit thermostat is the first line of defense — it shuts off the heating element automatically if temperature climbs too high, then resets itself once things cool down, letting the dryer resume normal operation. The thermal fuse is the backup: if temperatures climb high enough that the thermostat alone doesn't prevent a dangerous overheat, the fuse permanently opens the circuit and cuts all power. Unlike the thermostat, the fuse cannot reset itself and must be physically replaced once it blows. What does the thermistor actually do, and why does it matter if it's a sensor rather than a switch? The thermistor doesn't switch anything on or off directly — it's a variable resistor whose resistance changes with temperature, and the control board reads that resistance continuously to know exactly how hot the drum is running. That ongoing feedback is what lets the control board fine-tune heat output throughout the cycle rather than just running hot or cold. A failing thermistor can cause the control to misjudge temperature, leading to insufficient heat, inconsistent drying, or the control cutting the cycle short. My dryer blew a thermal fuse. Should I get this whole kit instead of just the fuse? It's worth considering, especially since a blown thermal fuse usually means the dryer actually overheated at some point — and that same overheating event can stress the thermistor and high-limit thermostat even if they haven't failed outright yet. Also worth checking regardless of which parts you replace: restricted exhaust venting is the most common root cause of dryer overheating, so inspect and clean the vent ducting when you do this repair, or the new parts may face the same stress that damaged the originals. Is this an OEM or aftermarket kit? This is an aftermarket replacement kit built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine LG OEM kit, but each component is manufactured to match the electrical specifications, resistance values, and mounting configuration of the original 6931EL3003D thermal fuse, 6323EL2001B thermistor, and 6931EL3001E high-limit thermostat used in compatible LG electric dryers.
