XPARTCO DC47-00018A Dryer Hi Limit Thermostat
The XPARTCO DC47-00018A is an aftermarket replacement cycling high-limit thermostat for Samsung and select Kenmore electric dryers. This is a genuine, automatically resetting thermostat — not a one-time fuse. It monitors temperature in the heating circuit and opens to cut power to the heating element at approximately 260°F, protecting the dryer from overheating. Once the temperature drops to around 210°F, it closes again on its own, letting the dryer resume heating without any part replacement needed.
This thermostat works alongside a downstream thermal fuse (such as our DC96-00887C listing) in the same overheat-protection circuit. If this thermostat is cycling excessively, tripping prematurely, or failing to regulate temperature correctly, it can put stress on that thermal fuse, sometimes causing it to blow as a last-resort safety measure. Symptoms of a failing high-limit thermostat include no heat or insufficient heat, drying that takes too long, or the dryer shutting off too soon before a load is fully dry. It directly replaces 35001092, WP35001092, 1122485, AP4201898, PS4205217, EAP2430930, PS2430930, and AP6008682.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO DC47-00018A Dryer Hi Limit Thermostat fixes Samsung and select Kenmore electric dryers with no heat or insufficient heat, drying that takes too long, or premature shutoff before a load is fully dry. Opens at approximately 260°F, resets automatically around 210°F. Replaces 35001092, WP35001092, 1122485, AP4201898, PS4205217, EAP2430930, PS2430930, AP6008682. This is a resettable thermostat, not a fuse — it does not need replacement after each trip. It's a different component from our DC96-00887C thermal fuse listing, though the two are often checked together.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer has no heat or insufficient heat
Drying takes too long to complete a cycle
Dryer shuts off too soon, before clothes are fully dry
Timer will not advance through the cycle
Dryer that stopped working suddenly after running unusually hot
Dryer with a history of repeated downstream thermal fuse failures

DV400EWHDWR/AA
DVE50M7450W/A3
Note — resettable thermostat, not a fuse: This DC47-00018A is a true cycling thermostat that resets itself automatically. Our DC96-00887C listing, despite frequently being labeled a "thermostat" on other marketplaces, is actually a one-time thermal fuse mounted separately on the blower housing — it cannot reset and must be replaced once blown. The two are different device types serving the same circuit. Always verify your full model number before ordering. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Access is typically through the rear panel, near the heater duct and blower housing area where this thermostat is mounted. Photograph the wiring connections before disconnecting anything, since this thermostat can be positioned close to other similar-looking components in the same circuit. Remove the old thermostat from its mounting position, noting orientation, and disconnect its wiring. Install the new DC47-00018A in the same position, 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
Do I need to reset this thermostat after it trips, or replace it?
Neither, in normal operation — this is a genuine cycling thermostat that resets itself automatically once the dryer cools to around 210°F. You should only need to replace it if it has failed outright (stuck open, stuck closed, or no longer switching at the correct temperatures), not simply because it tripped once during normal operation.
My dryer shuts off before the load is fully dry. Is that this part?
It's a strong possibility. If this high-limit thermostat is tripping prematurely — opening at a lower temperature than it should — 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 addresses.
My thermal fuse keeps blowing. Could this thermostat be the underlying cause?
Yes, this is worth investigating. This thermostat and the downstream thermal fuse (our DC96-00887C listing) protect the same circuit at different points. If this thermostat isn't regulating temperature correctly — cycling excessively or failing to catch a temperature spike — the thermal fuse can end up blowing repeatedly as the last line of defense. If you've replaced the fuse more than once, checking or replacing this thermostat at the same time is a reasonable next step.
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 and opening/reset temperatures of the original DC47-00018A high-limit thermostat used in compatible Samsung and Kenmore electric dryers.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting (Shut Off Gas First on Gas Models) — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power before beginning (and shut off the gas supply first if you have a gas dryer model). Wear work gloves — there are sharp metal edges inside the dryer cabinet. Remove the lint filter housing screws, release the top panel locking clips with a putty knife, and lift the top panel. Remove the front panel to access the drum, drive belt, and tensioner pulley assembly. Locate the belt safety switch in this area — refer to your model's parts diagram to confirm its exact mounting position, as it is positioned near the belt and tensioner pulley support. Photograph the wire connections before disconnecting. Disconnect the wires from the old switch, remove the mounting screw or clip, and pull the switch free. Install the new 17438000001584 switch in the same position, secure the mounting hardware, and reconnect the wires. While this area is open, it's a good time to inspect the drive belt and tensioner pulley for wear, since this switch is related to belt operation. Reassemble the front panel and top panel in reverse order. Restore gas and power, and run a test cycle to confirm the dryer starts and runs normally. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the belt safety switch do?
The belt safety switch monitors belt-related conditions near the drive belt and tensioner pulley assembly and interrupts electrical flow to the motor or heating circuit if it detects a fault or unsafe condition — such as a broken or badly slipped drive belt. This is a protective measure: if the belt has failed and the drum can no longer be driven normally, the switch helps prevent continued unsafe operation of the motor or heater. It works alongside other safety components in the dryer (like the door/cover switch and thermal limiters) as part of an overall safety system.
My dryer just had a belt replacement and now isn't working right — could this switch be involved?
It's possible. Since this switch is positioned near the belt and tensioner pulley assembly, it can be disturbed, dislodged, or its connector improperly reseated during a belt replacement. If your dryer is behaving erratically after a recent belt repair — failing to start, shutting off, or not heating — check that this switch's connector is fully seated and that the switch itself wasn't damaged during the repair. If the connector is good and the switch tests as an open circuit with a multimeter, it has failed and needs replacement.
How do I test if this safety switch has failed?
Unplug the dryer, disconnect the switch's wire connector, and set your multimeter to continuity mode. With the belt and tensioner mechanism in their normal operating position, the switch should show closed continuity (allowing current to flow). If the switch shows an open circuit when it should be closed, it has failed and needs replacement. Always refer to your specific model's wiring diagram to confirm the expected switch state, since exact behavior can vary by dryer model.
Does this switch fit Insignia and Criterion dryers as well as Midea?
Yes — Insignia (Best Buy) and Criterion (Sears/Kmart) are house brands whose dryers in certain configurations are manufactured by Midea and use the same internal components, including this belt safety switch. Confirmed Criterion models include the CDG41N1AW and CDG45N1AW gas dryers. Always verify your specific model number before ordering to confirm compatibility.
Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Midea to factory specifications. It is the exact same belt safety switch installed in compatible Midea, Criterion, and Insignia dryers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

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
Continuity test shows an open circuit across the old fuse

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.

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. It directly replaces DC96-00887A, AP5966894, 2074129, AP4207819, PS4216838, EAP4216838, WP35001193, 35001193, PS11741822, PS11741829, AP6008689 (DC96-00887C); and 35001092, 1122485, AP4201898, PS4205217, EAP2430930, PS2430930, AP6008682, WP35001092 (DC47-00018A).
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO DC96-00887C - DC47-00018A Dryer Thermostat Set fixes Samsung and select Kenmore electric dryers with no heat or insufficient heat, drying that takes too long, premature shutoff, or a timer that won't advance. Set includes the DC47-00018A cycling high-limit thermostat (260°F open / 210°F reset) and the DC96-00887C thermal fuse with bracket. Replaces the full cross-reference sets listed below for both parts. Despite common marketplace labeling, the DC96-00887C is a one-time thermal fuse, not a resettable thermostat — it must be replaced once it blows, while the DC47-00018A resets itself automatically.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Note Which Component Goes Where Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. 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.
