XPARTCO 279973 Dryer Thermostat Kit
The XPARTCO 279973 is an aftermarket replacement dryer thermostat and thermal cut-off kit compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool-family electric dryers including Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Inglis, Roper, and Admiral. The kit contains two components — the high-limit thermostat (L295-80F) and the thermal cut-off fuse — both located on the heating element housing. Together they protect the dryer's heating element from overheating: the high-limit thermostat monitors element temperature and cuts power if it exceeds safe levels, then resets when cooled. The thermal cut-off fuse is a backup one-time device that permanently opens the circuit if the thermostat fails to protect the element.
Both parts are mounted on the side of the heating element housing and can be accessed through the dryer's back panel. The thermal cut-off fuse is a non-resettable one-time device — once it opens, it must be replaced. The 279973 kit includes both parts, an instruction sheet, and hardware. It directly replaces 3391913, 3404151, 3404152, 3977395, 8318314, 897710, 279973VP, AP3094323, and several additional cross-reference numbers. Note: this kit is for electric dryers only. Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 279973 Dryer Thermostat Kit fixes Whirlpool-family electric dryers with no heat, overheating, or a dryer that shuts off too early. Kit includes the L295-80F high-limit thermostat (auto-reset, opens at 295°F) and the thermal cut-off fuse (352°F, one-time). Both mount on the heating element housing. Electric dryers only. Replaces 3391913, 3404151, 8318314, 897710, AP3094323. Compatible with Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Inglis, Roper, and Admiral.
Common Problems This Kit Fixes

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Electric Dryers Only Disconnect power before beginning. Remove the back panel of the dryer by unscrewing the perimeter screws to expose the heating element housing. Both the high-limit thermostat and thermal cut-off fuse are mounted on the side of the heating element housing — the thermostat is typically the larger component and the thermal cut-off fuse is smaller. Test each component with a multimeter before removing (both should show closed continuity at room temperature; the failed one will read open). Photograph the wiring before disconnecting. Disconnect the wires, remove the mounting screws, and install the new components in the same positions. Reconnect the wires and mounting screws, reinstall the back panel, restore power, and run a test cycle to confirm heat. Tip: Before running the dryer, clean the full length of the exhaust duct — a clogged vent is the most common cause of overheating and a blown thermal cut-off fuse. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, multimeter.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the high-limit thermostat and the thermal cut-off fuse in this kit?
The high-limit thermostat (L295-80F) is a resettable safety switch that opens at 295°F to cut power to the heating element and resets automatically when the temperature drops. It is the primary protection against overheating during normal operation. The thermal cut-off fuse is a one-time backup device rated at 352°F — it permanently opens the circuit if the heating element temperature climbs beyond the point the thermostat should have caught. Once the cut-off fuse opens, it must be replaced; it does not reset on its own. If the cut-off fuse has blown, it usually means the high-limit thermostat also failed to do its job and should be replaced at the same time — which is exactly what this kit provides.
How do I test these parts with a multimeter?
Unplug the dryer and remove the back panel to access the heating element housing. Disconnect each component from the wiring and probe both terminals with a multimeter set to continuity or resistance mode. At room temperature, both the high-limit thermostat and the thermal cut-off fuse should show closed continuity (near-zero resistance). Any component that reads open circuit (no continuity) has failed and needs to be replaced. The thermal cut-off fuse reads open even after it cools — it is non-resettable. The high-limit thermostat may read open at room temperature if it has failed internally rather than by an overheat trip.
How is the 279973 kit different from the XP6974 thermostat kit?
The 279973 is a 2-part kit — high-limit thermostat and thermal cut-off fuse — designed specifically for the heating element housing of Whirlpool-family electric dryers. The XP6974 is a 4-part kit — cycling thermostat, thermal fuse, high-limit thermostat, and thermal cut-off — designed for Whirlpool-family gas and electric dryers, covering both the exhaust duct components and the burner/element housing components. If your electric dryer is showing no-heat and you need only the heating element housing components, the 279973 kit covers exactly those two parts. If you want to replace all thermal components in one repair, the XP6974 covers a broader set.
Why does the thermal cut-off fuse keep blowing?
If the thermal cut-off fuse blows repeatedly after replacement, it almost always means there is an underlying overheating condition causing the heating element housing to run hotter than it should. The most common cause is a clogged or restricted exhaust vent — lint accumulation in the duct reduces airflow, trapping heat inside the dryer cabinet and around the element. Other causes include a failed cycling thermostat that is not regulating element temperature correctly, a stuck heating element relay, or a dryer in an enclosed space with inadequate ventilation. Always clean the full exhaust duct and check the cycling thermostat (WP3387134) before replacing the thermal cut-off fuse a second time.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement kit built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured to match the temperature ratings and specifications of the original 279973 high-limit thermostat and thermal cut-off fuse kit.

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.

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.
