XPARTCO XP8767 Dryer Thermostat Set — DC47-00018A, DC96-00887C, DC47-00016A, DC32-00007A
The XPARTCO XP8767 is an aftermarket dryer thermal component set containing four heat-sensing and safety parts for select Samsung and Kenmore dryers. The set includes the high-limit thermostat (DC47-00018A), thermal fuse with bracket (DC96-00887C), blower housing thermal fuse (DC47-00016A), and thermistor temperature sensor (DC32-00007A) — the complete set of thermal components that regulate temperature and prevent overheating in compatible Samsung dryers.
When any one of these components fails, the dryer may produce no heat, run too hot, shut off too early, or fail to start. Because overheating events that blow a thermal fuse also stress the other thermal components, replacing all four together in a single repair is the recommended approach. The DC96-00887C replaces the DC96-00887A used in earlier models — both are included in this kit's cross-references. Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO XP8767 Dryer Thermostat Set fixes Samsung and Kenmore dryers with no heat, insufficient heat, overheating, early shutoff, or failure to start. Includes all four thermal components: DC47-00018A high-limit thermostat (L260-50), DC96-00887C thermal fuse with bracket (320°F), DC47-00016A blower housing thermal fuse, and DC32-00007A thermistor. Compatible with Samsung and Kenmore (Samsung-built) dryers.

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

When cooled, the thermostat resets automatically — but if it fails internally, it may remain open permanently, causing the dryer to produce no heat despite the thermal fuse and other components being intact.
Rated L125-31C, 250V, 25A, this 3-terminal thermostat measures 2"L x 1-3/4"W x 1-1/4"H with approximately 1-5/8" between mounting holes (center to center). It is constructed from metal and plastic in gray/black and mounts directly on the heater housing. It directly replaces 1377779, AP5072172, AH3530482, EA3530482, EAP3530482, PS3530482, and PD00023316. Often replaced together with the 6931EL3003D thermal fuse — both mount on the heater housing and work as a system to protect the dryer from overheating. Installs in 15–20 minutes with basic hand tools.

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 by unscrewing the perimeter screws to access the heater housing. The 6931EL3001F thermostat is mounted on the heater housing — it is the 3-terminal component with gray/black housing. Before removing it, test it with a multimeter: disconnect the wires and probe the terminals. At room temperature a working thermostat shows closed continuity. An open reading confirms failure. Photograph the 3-wire connections before disconnecting — reconnecting in the correct positions is important. Remove the 2 mounting screws and lift the old thermostat off. Install the new thermostat in the same position with the 2 mounting screws and reconnect the wires in the same positions. While the heater housing is accessible, also test and replace the 6931EL3003D thermal fuse if needed. Reinstall the back panel, restore power, and run a test heat cycle. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, multimeter.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the 6931EL3001F thermostat and the 6931EL3003D thermal fuse?
Both are mounted on the heater housing and protect the dryer from overheating, but they work differently. The 6931EL3001F is a resettable hi-limit thermostat rated L125-31C — it opens when the heater temperature gets too high and resets automatically when cooled. The 6931EL3003D is a one-time thermal fuse that permanently interrupts the circuit if the temperature exceeds its rated limit — once blown, it cannot reset and must be replaced. Both should show closed continuity at room temperature when working. Because both are on the heater housing and experience the same thermal stress, replacing both at the same time is recommended.
How do I test the 6931EL3001F thermostat with a multimeter?
Unplug the dryer and disconnect all three wires from the thermostat terminals. Set your multimeter to continuity or resistance mode. At room temperature, a working 6931EL3001F thermostat should show closed continuity (near-zero resistance) across its contacts. If your multimeter reads open circuit (no continuity / OL), the thermostat has failed and needs replacement. Since this thermostat auto-resets when cooled, always test at room temperature — testing while the dryer is still warm may give a false open reading if the thermostat has legitimately opened due to heat.
My LG dryer has no heat but the thermal fuse is good — could it be the thermostat?
Yes — when the thermal fuse tests good but there is still no heat, the hi-limit thermostat (6931EL3001F) is the next most common culprit. A thermostat that has failed internally may remain permanently open even at room temperature, cutting power to the heating element exactly as a blown thermal fuse would. Test the thermostat with a multimeter for continuity. Also check the cycling thermostat (6931EL3002M) and the thermistor (6323EL2001B) — all three are part of the LG dryer thermal control system and any one of them can cause a no-heat condition.
What does the "L125-31C" rating mean?
The L125-31C rating describes the thermostat's operating parameters. L125 means the thermostat opens (trips) when the temperature reaches approximately 125°C (257°F). The 31 indicates the reset differential — the thermostat resets when the temperature drops approximately 31°C below the trip point, around 94°C (201°F). This rating ensures the thermostat allows the heater to operate at normal drying temperatures while protecting against dangerous overheating.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine LG OEM part, but is manufactured from metal and plastic to match the L125-31C rating, dimensions, and 3-terminal configuration of the original 6931EL3001F hi-limit heater thermostat.
