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

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.

XPARTCO 279838 Dryer Heating Element
The XPARTCO 279838 is an aftermarket replacement heating element for Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, Roper, Estate, Crosley, Admiral, Inglis, KitchenAid, and Jenn-Air electric dryers. This element is the source of virtually all the heat in the dryer: current flows through a nickel-chromium coil, which glows and radiates heat as the blower pushes air across it and into the drum. This part is often nicknamed the "shorty" because of its compact size compared to the larger, older Whirlpool element it replaced, part number 4391960 — the shorty design is used on dryers with the lint filter positioned on the top right near the control housing.
Over years of use, the coil typically fails with a visible break somewhere along its length — a section simply burns through and the circuit opens, cutting off heat entirely. A quick way to check: a healthy element reads approximately 9 to 10 ohms across its terminals with a multimeter; a reading of no resistance (open circuit) confirms the element has failed. This element shares the same dryer platform as our WP3392519 thermal fuse and works alongside a cycling thermostat and high-limit thermostat in the same heating circuit — all commonly checked or replaced together when a dryer stops heating. It directly replaces 279837, WP279837, 2438, 279838VP, 279838A, 3398063, 3398064, 3403585, 8565582, W10724237, AP3094254, AH334313, EA334313, PS334313, and PS3343130.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 279838 Dryer Heating Element fixes Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, Roper, Estate, Crosley, Admiral, Inglis, KitchenAid, and Jenn-Air electric dryers with no heat, insufficient heat, or drying times that have gotten noticeably longer. Also called the "shorty" element. Replaces 279837, WP279837, 2438, 279838VP, 279838A, 3398063, 3398064, 3403585, 8565582, W10724237, AP3094254, AH334313, EA334313, PS334313, PS3343130. A healthy element reads approximately 9-10 ohms with a multimeter; if the dryer has no heat at all, also check the thermal fuse (such as our WP3392519 listing) before assuming the element is at fault — a blown fuse produces the identical symptom.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer runs a full cycle but produces no heat at all
Dryer produces some heat, but not enough to dry clothes properly
Drying times that have gotten noticeably longer than they used to
Clothes coming out cold or barely warm at the end of a cycle
Visible break or burned-through section in the heating coil
Element that reads no resistance (open circuit) on a multimeter continuity or ohms test
Dryer that heats inconsistently, cycling on and off unexpectedly

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Test Resistance Before Assuming It's The Element Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Access is typically through the rear panel or the front, depending on your model, to reach the heater duct/blower housing area where the element is mounted. Before removing anything, inspect the old element visually for a break in the coil — sometimes you can see it directly, or feel it by gently wiggling each section of the coil. If nothing is visibly broken, test with a multimeter: place one probe on each terminal and look for a reading of approximately 9-10 ohms on a good element; no resistance at all confirms the element has failed. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the wire terminals from the old element, remove the mounting screws or clips holding it in the duct housing, and pull it free. Install the new 279838 assembly in the same position, reconnect the wire terminals, and secure the mounting hardware — if the original connection wire shows burning or damage, replace it as well rather than reusing a damaged connector. Reassemble the panel, restore power, and run a test cycle to confirm the dryer is heating normally. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, 5/16" wrench, Phillips screwdriver, multimeter, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I test whether the element is actually bad?
Start with a visual inspection — often you can see a break directly in the coil, or find it by gently wiggling each section to check for a loose or separated point. If nothing is visible, use a multimeter set to ohms and place one probe on each terminal. A good element typically reads approximately 9 to 10 ohms; a reading of no resistance at all (open circuit) confirms the element has failed and needs replacing.
My dryer has no heat at all. Should I replace the element first, or check something else?
Check the thermal fuse first, since a blown fuse produces the exact same "no heat at all" symptom as a failed heating element and is a cheaper, faster part to test and replace — our WP3392519 listing covers the thermal fuse used on this same dryer platform. If the fuse tests good and the dryer still has no heat, the element itself is the next thing to test.
What's the difference between this "shorty" element and the older 4391960?
Both are Whirlpool dryer heating elements, but this 279838 is a more compact design used on dryers with the lint filter positioned on the top right near the control housing, while 4391960 is the larger, older element used on earlier Whirlpool dryer platforms. They are not interchangeable, so confirm which style your dryer uses — checking your model number or comparing the physical size of your old element — before ordering.
Should I check the connection wire while I'm replacing the element?
Yes, it's worth a look. The wire connecting to the element terminals can occasionally show burning or damage if the element was arcing or overheating before it failed. If you notice any discoloration, melting, or damage on the connection wire, replace it along with the element rather than reusing a compromised connector.
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 nickel-chromium coil composition, resistance rating, compact "shorty" form factor, and terminal configuration of the original 279838 heating element used in compatible Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, Roper, and related dryers.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug or Switch Off Breaker Before Starting Unplug the dishwasher or turn off the circuit breaker before beginning any repair. The thermal fuse is located inside the dishwasher door panel near the control board. Open the dishwasher door and remove all screws from the inner door panel — a Torx bit is typically required on Whirlpool-family models. Carefully lift the inner door panel to expose the control board housing. Remove the black plastic cover over the control board to access the thermal fuse — it is typically on the right side of the board with one wire connected to each terminal. Test the old fuse with a multimeter for continuity (no continuity confirms the fuse has blown). Disconnect the old fuse and its harness. Connect the new 675813 fuse using the new 2-wire harness included in the kit — do not reuse the old harness. Secure the harness with the included zip tie. Reinstall the control board cover, inner door panel, and all screws. Restore power and run a test cycle. Note: If the fuse blows again after replacement, an underlying cause such as a blocked vent, failed heating element, or faulty control board should be diagnosed before replacing the fuse a second time. Tools needed: Torx screwdriver (T15 or T20), Phillips screwdriver, multimeter, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the dishwasher thermal fuse do?
The thermal fuse is a one-time safety device that monitors the internal temperature of the dishwasher. If the temperature rises above the safe operating limit — 98°C in this case — the fuse permanently interrupts the electrical circuit, cutting all power to the dishwasher. This protects both the appliance and your home from fire hazard caused by overheating. Unlike a resettable thermostat, a blown thermal fuse cannot be reset and must be physically replaced.
How do I know if my thermal fuse has blown?
The most obvious sign is a completely dead dishwasher — no lights, no sounds, and no response when you press any buttons, even though the outlet has power. You can confirm a blown fuse with a multimeter: disconnect the fuse from the harness and test for continuity across its two terminals. A working fuse will show continuity (near-zero resistance); a blown fuse will show no continuity (open circuit). If the fuse tests bad, replace it with the 675813 kit.
Why did my thermal fuse blow, and will it happen again?
Thermal fuses blow when the dishwasher overheats. Common causes include a blocked air vent, a malfunctioning or shorted heating element, a failed thermostat, or an electrical fault in the control board. If you simply replace the fuse without addressing the root cause, it may blow again. After replacing the fuse, run the dishwasher and monitor for any unusual heat, steam, or burning smell. If the fuse blows again, have the underlying fault diagnosed before ordering another replacement.
Why must I use the new harness and not the old one?
When a thermal fuse blows, the wiring harness connected to it may have been exposed to the same overheating event that tripped the fuse. The wires or connectors may have degraded or partially melted even if they appear intact. Using the old harness risks a poor connection or a recurring fault. Always install the new 2-wire harness included in the kit to ensure a reliable, safe connection.
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 from metal and plastic to match the dimensions, trip temperature, and performance of the original 675813 thermal fuse.

WP8577891 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer High-Limit Thermostat
The WP8577891 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM high-limit thermostat for Whirlpool, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, and Roper dryers. This part combines two functions in a single component: it acts as a safety mechanism that shuts off the heating element when the dryer overheats, and it includes an inlet thermistor that monitors the temperature of the inlet air feeding into the dryer.
Rated L260-68F: the heating element cuts out once internal temperature reaches 260°F, and kicks back in once temperature drops to 192°F, a 68°F differential built into the design. Weighing approximately 0.08 lbs, with package dimensions of 4.33" x 3.43" x 0.79". Because this is a safety-critical component, a malfunctioning thermostat can shut off the dryer even when it isn't actually overheating, in addition to producing the more expected overheating symptom if it fails to trip when it should. Symptoms include the dryer overheating, blown thermal fuses, or the dryer shutting off unexpectedly during a cycle. It directly replaces 8577891, 314654, AP6013527, AWP48573, EAP11746753, OEM18040590, L260-68F, L126.7-37.7C, PD00003286, PS11746753.
Quick Answer
The WP8577891 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer High-Limit Thermostat fixes Whirlpool, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, and Roper dryers with overheating, blown thermal fuses, or unexpected shutoffs during a cycle.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Test With A Multimeter Before Assuming It's This Part Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Unscrew and remove the dryer's exhaust vent hose, then use a nut driver to remove the back panel. Locate the high-limit thermostat, typically mounted near the heating element housing. Before removing the old part, test it with a multimeter set to continuity — a healthy thermostat shows continuity; one that doesn't should be replaced. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the wire terminals from the old thermostat, remove its mounting screw, and pull it free. Install the new WP8577891 in the same position, reconnect the wire terminals, and secure the mounting screw. Reattach the back panel and exhaust vent hose. Restore power and run a full test cycle to confirm normal, consistent heating with no premature shutoffs. Tools needed: nut driver, flat-head screwdriver, multimeter, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if this thermostat has actually failed before I order one?
Test the old thermostat with a multimeter set to continuity before ordering — it's a simple, quick check. One customer specifically noted they wished they had tested the part first: they ordered a replacement, then discovered testing the old one with a multimeter was easy to do and would have confirmed whether they actually needed the new part before buying it.
My dryer shuts off even though it doesn't feel like it's overheating. Could this still be the thermostat?
Yes. A malfunctioning high-limit thermostat can shut off the dryer even when actual temperatures are normal, not just when the dryer is genuinely running too hot. If your dryer stops mid-cycle without an obvious overheating cause, this thermostat is worth testing.
Should I replace other parts at the same time as this thermostat?
If your dryer has also blown a thermal fuse, it's worth replacing the fuse and any related thermal cutoff components together with this thermostat, since they often fail from the same underlying overheating cause. Also check your exhaust venting for restrictions while you have the dryer open, since blocked airflow is a common root cause of repeated thermal component failures.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original opening and reset temperatures and mounting configuration of the high-limit thermostat originally installed in your dryer.
