17438200000109 Genuine OEM Midea Dryer Heating Element Assembly
The 17438200000109 is a Genuine OEM Midea replacement dryer heating element assembly compatible with a wide range of Midea and Insignia electric dryers, including the MLE41N1AWW, MLE43A3AWW, MLE47A3AGG, MLE47C3AWW, MLE47C4AWW, MLE47R5BWW, MLTE37N1BWW, CDE41N1AW, CLADE67W, LE43A3AWW, MDD160A2301E1305, and Insignia NS-FDRE67WH8A-C series. The heating element uses electrical resistance to generate the heat that warms air as it circulates through the dryer drum, evaporating moisture from wet clothes. Without a functioning heating element, the dryer will tumble and run normally but produce no heat, leaving clothes damp at the end of a cycle.
As a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Midea to factory specifications, the 17438200000109 is the complete heater assembly housing. It directly replaces 302461060002 and MDA17438200000109 (alternate catalog references for the same assembly). Note: when an electric dryer heating element fails due to overheating, the paired high-limit thermostat (Midea 17400513000460) is often stressed as well — inspecting or replacing it at the same time is recommended. Installs in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting Disconnect power before beginning. Pull the dryer away from the wall and remove the rear service panel to expose the heating element housing. Take a photo of the wiring before disconnecting anything — this is important since the high-limit thermostat and thermal cut-off wiring are both in the same area as the element leads and it's easy to mix up terminals. Disconnect the high-limit thermostat/thermal cut-off wiring and the element leads from the old heating element assembly. Remove the mounting screws securing the element housing and slide the old assembly out. Install the new 17438200000109 assembly in the same orientation, reconnect all wires snugly to the correct terminals as documented in your photo, and reinstall the mounting screws. Reassemble the rear service panel, restore power, and run a test heat cycle to confirm the dryer is heating properly. Tip: while the rear panel is open, inspect the high-limit thermostat (Midea 17400513000460) — if the original element failed due to overheating, the thermostat may also need replacement. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my dryer's heating element has failed?
The clearest sign is a dryer that tumbles and runs through a complete cycle normally but produces little or no heat, leaving clothes damp or only partially dried. You may also notice the dryer taking significantly longer than usual to dry a load as it tries to compensate with extended tumbling time. Visually inspecting the element after removing the rear panel can reveal burn marks, breaks in the coil, or visible arcing damage. A multimeter continuity test on the disconnected element will also confirm failure — a working element shows continuity, while a failed element reads an open circuit.
Should I replace the thermostat at the same time as the heating element?
It's a good idea to inspect it. When a heating element fails due to overheating — rather than simple end-of-life wear — the paired high-limit thermostat (Midea 17400513000460) located in the same area can also be stressed by the same heat event. Since the rear panel must already be open to replace the element, checking the thermostat's continuity at the same time is a quick step that can prevent a repeat repair if the thermostat is also on the verge of failing.
What is the difference between 17438200000109 and 302461060002?
These are the same heating element assembly. 302461060002 and MDA17438200000109 are alternate catalog reference numbers used by some parts suppliers for the identical Midea heater assembly. If your dryer's parts diagram or supplier listing shows either of these numbers, the 17438200000109 is the correct part and this listing covers all three references.
Does this element fit my Insignia dryer?
Yes — Insignia is a Best Buy house brand, and several Insignia electric dryer models (including the NS-FDRE67WH8A-C and NS-TDRE67W1) are manufactured by Midea and use the same internal components, including this heating element assembly. Always verify your specific Insignia 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 heating element assembly installed in compatible Midea and Insignia electric dryers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

XPARTCO EXP570 Dryer Door Latch Kit
The XPARTCO EXP570 is an aftermarket replacement door catch and strike kit for dryers from Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, Roper, Estate, Frigidaire, GE, Hotpoint, Inglis, LG, and other comparable brands. The catch and strike work as a pair: the strike on the dryer door engages the catch on the cabinet to hold the door shut for the whole cycle. When either part wears, cracks, or gets knocked out of alignment, the door stops latching reliably. It may not stay closed, it may pop open mid-cycle and let heat escape, or the dryer may refuse to start because it doesn't register the door as closed.
Each kit includes 1 door catch and 1 strike, so you can replace the full latch set in one repair rather than guessing which half is worn. Because this latch design was used across several appliance families, the kit carries a long cross-reference list covering Whirlpool, Frigidaire, GE, LG, and Alliance-built part numbers; see the Replaces list below.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO EXP570 Dryer Door Latch Kit fixes a dryer door that won't stay closed, opens mid-cycle, or an open-door condition that keeps the dryer from starting, caused by a worn or damaged catch and strike. Each kit includes 1 door catch and 1 strike. Fits Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, Roper, Estate, Frigidaire, GE, Hotpoint, Inglis, and LG dryers. Classic symptom: the door swings open on its own, or you have to hold it shut to get the dryer to run.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer door won't stay closed
Door pops open in the middle of a cycle
Dryer won't start because the open-door condition isn't clearing
Worn, cracked, or damaged catch or strike
Heat escaping around the door, leaving clothes damp
Door that no longer latches with a firm, positive click

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Power Before Installing Unplug the dryer or switch off its circuit breaker before beginning. Open the door and inspect the old catch on the cabinet and the strike on the door for cracks, wear, or loose mounting. Remove the old catch and strike, keeping track of how each one is oriented and mounted. Fit the new catch and strike in the same positions and fasten them securely. Close the door and confirm it latches with a firm click, stays shut, and lines up evenly with the cabinet. If the door still won't seat properly after the swap, check the door hinges and alignment, since a misaligned door can wear out new latch parts quickly.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer door won't stay shut — is this the part I need?
Very likely. A worn or damaged catch or strike is a common reason a dryer door won't latch or pops open mid-cycle. Inspect both parts for cracks or wear. Because the two work as a pair, replacing both at once is the surest fix.
My dryer won't start and seems to think the door is open. Could this be the cause?
It can be. If the door isn't latching fully, the dryer may not register it as closed. If the latch looks fine and the door closes firmly but the dryer still won't start, the door switch may be the problem instead.
What's included in the kit?
Each kit includes 1 door catch and 1 strike. If you only need the catch, we also offer it separately as the EXP571 Dryer Door Catch.
Will this fit my Whirlpool, Frigidaire, GE, or LG dryer?
This kit is cross-referenced to part numbers from all of those brands, but it fits specific models rather than every dryer. Match the number on your old latch parts or parts diagram against the Replaces list, or contact our support team with your model number and we'll confirm before you order.

XPARTCO 5300622034 Dryer Heating Element Coil (Restring)
The XPARTCO 5300622034 is an aftermarket replacement heating coil, sold as a restring, for Frigidaire-built electric dryers. A restring replaces the burned-out coil inside your dryer's existing heater housing, so you do not need to replace the whole heater assembly. It is a cost-saving repair for a dryer that runs but no longer makes heat.
This is a direct-fit aftermarket replacement for the original Frigidaire coil. It has 5/16" terminals. A version with 1/4" terminals has a different part number, so check the terminals on your old coil before ordering.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 5300622034 Heating Element Coil fixes a Frigidaire, Tappan, White-Westinghouse, Gibson, or Kelvinator electric dryer that tumbles but doesn't heat, or heats weakly. It restrings the existing element housing with 5/16" terminals. Classic symptom: the drum spins and the timer runs, but clothes come out cold and damp.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer runs but produces no heat
Clothes come out damp after a full cycle
Dryer heats weakly or takes very long to dry
Visible break or burn in the heating coil
Coil failure confirmed by a continuity test
Cross Reference Information
Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models. For your convenience, we've included any known superseded, alternate, or cross-reference part numbers that match this item.

No other Frigidaire part numbers were confirmed for this coil. A similar restring with 1/4" terminals is sold under a different number and is not interchangeable. Confirm against your dryer's parts diagram, or contact our support team, if your model calls out a different number.
Compatibility
This coil is listed for Frigidaire, Tappan, White-Westinghouse, Gibson, Kelvinator, and GE electric dryers, including these examples:

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Power Before Installing Unplug the dryer or switch off its circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves, as the cabinet and heater housing edges are sharp. Remove the panel that gives access to the heater housing per your model's service guide, and disconnect the wires, noting their positions. Remove the old coil and install the new one following the original coil's path through the insulators, then reassemble. Before testing, make sure no part of the coil touches the metal housing. Clean the lint trap and check the exhaust vent for restrictions, since poor airflow shortens element life.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer spins but won't heat. Is this the part I need?
A burned-out heating coil is a common cause. Unplug the dryer and test the element for continuity first. If there is no continuity, the coil has failed. A tripped thermal fuse or a failed thermostat can cause the same symptom, so check those too.
What is a restring?
A restring is a replacement coil that you install in your dryer's existing heater housing, instead of replacing the entire heater assembly. It is usually the lower-cost repair if the housing is in good condition.
What are the terminal sizes?
This coil has 5/16" terminals. A similar coil with 1/4" terminals has a different part number, so compare the terminals on your old element before ordering.
Will this fit my dryer?
It is listed for many Frigidaire-built electric dryers, but the model list above is only a sample. Check your model number against your parts diagram, or contact our support team and we'll verify it before you order.

5303918214 Genuine OEM Frigidaire Refrigerator Defrost Thermostat
The 5303918214 is a genuine Frigidaire OEM defrost thermostat kit for Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Crosley refrigerators — commonly used on side-by-side and French door models equipped with an ice maker. This thermostat monitors the temperature of the evaporator coils: when the coils drop below a set temperature, it allows power to reach the defrost heater so frost can be cleared; once the coils warm back up, it cuts power to the heater again, protecting the evaporator from being overheated during that process.
The most common reasons this thermostat gets replaced are a classic pair of symptoms: the freezer stays cold while the fresh food refrigerator section runs warm, or the refrigerator simply isn't defrosting on its normal cycle. Because this thermostat sits behind the rear access panel near the ice maker on many compatible models, replacing it typically involves removing the ice maker and the back panel to reach it — a more involved repair than a thermostat mounted in an easily accessible spot. It directly replaces AP2150145, 892545, AH469522, EA469522, PS469522, and 75303918214. As a genuine OEM part, the 5303918214 is manufactured by Frigidaire to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.
Quick Answer
The 5303918214 Genuine OEM Frigidaire Refrigerator Defrost Thermostat fixes Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Crosley refrigerators where the freezer stays cold but the fresh food section runs warm, or the refrigerator isn't defrosting on its normal cycle. Replaces AP2150145, 892545, AH469522, EA469522, PS469522, 75303918214. This is a separate part from our 5303918202 defrost thermostat listing — the two fit different model groups and are not interchangeable. Installation on many compatible models requires removing the ice maker to access the thermostat.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator And Shut Off Water Supply Before Starting Unplug the refrigerator from the wall outlet and turn off the water supply to the refrigerator before beginning. Wear work gloves. If your model has an ice maker, remove it first using a screwdriver to gain clearance for the next steps. Remove the back panel with a screwdriver to expose the defrost thermostat. Take out the existing thermostat and disconnect its wiring, labeling or photographing each connection first. Install the new 5303918214 thermostat by connecting the wires according to the wiring diagram provided with the kit, then secure the thermostat to the main housing using the small mounting screws. Reinstall the back panel, plug the refrigerator back in, turn the water supply back on, and reinstall the ice maker. Test the refrigerator over the following day to confirm both compartments are cooling evenly and the defrost cycle is running normally. Tools needed: screwdriver, wire cutters/strippers, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need to remove the ice maker for this repair?
On many compatible models, yes — the thermostat sits behind the rear access panel in an area that the ice maker partially blocks, so removing it first gives you the clearance needed to reach the panel and the thermostat behind it. It's an extra step compared to some simpler defrost thermostat replacements, but it's a standard part of this particular repair.
My freezer is cold but the fridge is warm. Is this the thermostat?
Yes, this is the classic symptom of a failed defrost thermostat. When it fails, the defrost heater can't run correctly to clear frost from the evaporator coil, and the resulting ice buildup blocks the airflow that's supposed to carry cold air to the fresh food compartment. The freezer, sitting closer to the coil, often stays reasonably cold, while the fresh food side runs warm since it depends on that circulated air.
I replaced the thermostat but my freezer temperature is still fluctuating. What should I check next?
Replacing this thermostat resolves the issue for most customers, but if fluctuation continues, it's worth checking the other components in the same defrost circuit — the defrost timer and defrost heater — since a failure in either of those can produce similar temperature instability even with a good thermostat installed. It's also worth confirming the door seals are sealing properly, since a poor seal lets warm air in and can cause temperature swings unrelated to the defrost system.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Frigidaire to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original temperature threshold, mounting configuration, and function of the defrost thermostat originally installed in your refrigerator.

XPARTCO 3387747 Dryer Heating Element Replaces WP3387747
The XPARTCO 3387747 is an aftermarket replacement heating element assembly for Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, and Roper 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. Everything downstream — the drum temperature, the drying time, the final dampness of your clothes — depends on this coil working correctly.
Rated 5400W at 240V, with two 5/16" terminals for a direct connection. The nickel-chromium coil is rated at roughly 85% nickel-chromium content for effective, heat-and-abrasion-resistant heating, and it's mounted in high-temperature ceramic insulators that hold it firmly in the frame so it won't loosen or shift under the vibration of a running dryer. Over years of use, the coil itself typically fails with a visible break somewhere along its length — a section simply burns through and the circuit opens, cutting off heat entirely. It directly replaces WP3387747, WP3387747VP, W11045584, W11344457, 80003, 525502, AP6008281, AP2947033, PS344597, PS11741416, EAP11741416, FIX11741416, AWP47520, and PD00002365.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 3387747 Dryer Heating Element fixes Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, and Roper electric dryers with no heat, insufficient heat, or drying times that have gotten noticeably longer. 5400W, 240V, two 5/16" terminals.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Test Continuity 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, test the old element with a multimeter set to continuity — a healthy element reads continuous end to end, while a failed one (with a visible break in the coil) reads open. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the two 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 3387747 assembly in the same position, reconnect the two wire terminals, and secure the mounting hardware. While the dryer is open, this is a good time to fully clean the exhaust vent ducting from the lint trap to the outside vent hood — restricted airflow is a major cause of heating element failure, and a fresh element installed into a clogged system will likely fail again prematurely. 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
My dryer has no heat at all. Should I replace the element first, or check something else?
Check the thermal fuse first. A blown thermal fuse produces the exact same "no heat at all" symptom as a failed heating element, and it's a much cheaper, faster part to test and replace. Whirlpool's own service guidance recommends checking the thermal fuse before replacing the element. If the fuse tests good and the dryer still has no heat, the element itself is the next thing to test and likely replace.
How can I tell if the element has actually failed?
The most reliable way is a continuity test with a multimeter — set it to continuity mode, disconnect the element's wires, and touch a probe to each terminal. A healthy element shows continuity (a complete circuit); a failed one shows open (no continuity), which usually corresponds to a visible break or burned-through section somewhere in the coil if you inspect it closely.
Why does the listing recommend cleaning the vent duct during this repair?
Restricted airflow from a lint-clogged exhaust duct is one of the most common root causes of heating element failure — when air can't move through the system properly, heat builds up around the element well beyond its designed operating range, accelerating wear and often leading directly to a burned-through coil. Since you'll already have the dryer open for this repair, cleaning the full duct run from the lint trap to the outside vent hood is a good use of the same trip and helps the new element last.
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 5400W/240V electrical rating, nickel-chromium coil composition, ceramic insulator mounting, and terminal configuration of the original WP3387747 heating element used in compatible Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, and Roper dryers.

XPARTCO WE1X21975 Dryer Fuse, 30 Amp
The XPARTCO WE1X21975 is a 30 Amp, 250 Volt ceramic thermal fuse used in GE dryers as a safety cutoff component. It's wired into the heating circuit and monitors the dryer's operating temperature — if the unit overheats due to restricted airflow, a failing thermostat, or a clogged exhaust vent, this fuse blows and cuts power to the heating circuit (or the entire unit, depending on the model's wiring) to prevent overheating damage or a fire hazard. Unlike a resettable thermostat, this is a one-time safety device: once it blows, it must be replaced — it cannot be reset.
A blown thermal fuse is one of the most common reasons a GE dryer runs but produces no heat, or in some wiring configurations won't start at all and clicks when the start button is pressed. Because this fuse is a safety-critical protection device, it's worth also checking and clearing the cause of the overheating (lint buildup, a crushed or clogged exhaust duct, or a failed cycling thermostat) at the same time you replace it — otherwise the new fuse is likely to blow again.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WE1X21975 Dryer Fuse fixes a GE dryer that runs with no heat, or shuts off mid-cycle after getting hot. 30 Amp / 250 Volt ceramic thermal fuse, direct OEM fit and function. Classic symptom: dryer tumbles fine but clothes come out cold, or the dryer clicks and won't start. Always clear the cause of overheating (lint, vent restriction, or a failed thermostat) when replacing this fuse.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer runs and tumbles but produces no heat
Dryer starts, heats briefly, then shuts off mid-cycle
Dryer won't start at all — clicking sound when the start button is pressed
Dryer stops running entirely after the unit has overheated
Clothes come out damp or cold after a full cycle
Dryer previously showed signs of overheating (hot exterior, burning smell) before losing heat
Cross Reference Information
Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models. For your convenience, we've included any known superseded, alternate, or cross-reference part numbers that match this item.
Replaces Part Numbers
This thermal fuse directly replaces the following part numbers:
WE1X21975, 4248223, AGE25250, AP5957584, EAP10065161, PD00030077, PS10065161, 14QBP30CFB, 3AB, 6AB, SP, RABC, 314, ABC, CES-2, CES-4
Some listings also reference the earlier GE part number 4248223, which appears to correspond to the same fuse design. We were not able to fully confirm the exact supersession relationship between 4248223 and WE1X21975, so if your dryer's parts diagram shows 4248223, contact our support team with your model number and we'll verify fit before you order.
Compatibility
This thermal fuse is compatible with a wide range of GE dryer models, including:
GTD42EASJ0WW, GTD42EASJ1WW, GTD42EASJ2WW, GTD42EASJ3WW
GTD45EASJ0WS, GTD45EASJ1WS
Many additional GTD-, DBXR-, and similar GE dryer model series
Note: GE used this same thermal fuse across dozens of dryer model and sub-model variants over several production years. The list above is only a sample. Check your dryer's model/serial tag (typically on the door frame or cabinet edge) and compare against your unit's parts diagram, or contact our support team with your exact model number to confirm fit before ordering.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Power Before Installing Unplug the dryer or switch off its circuit breaker before beginning. On most GE dryers, this fuse is mounted on or near the heater housing/blower duct at the rear of the dryer, which typically requires removing the rear panel or top panel to access. It can be easy to overlook on the parts diagram, so compare the physical part against your model's diagram carefully before ordering or installing. Disconnect the wire terminals from the old fuse, note their positions, and transfer them to the same terminals on the new fuse. Before closing the dryer back up, inspect and clean the lint trap, exhaust duct, and vent hood for blockages, and check that the cycling thermostat is functioning — a fuse that blew due to an uncleared overheating cause will often blow again shortly after replacement.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer runs but doesn't heat — is this the part I need?
A blown thermal fuse is one of the most common causes of a GE dryer that tumbles normally but produces no heat. It's worth testing the fuse for continuity with a multimeter before replacing it, since a few other components (the cycling thermostat, igniter on gas models, or heating element) can cause similar symptoms.
Can this fuse be reset instead of replaced?
No. This is a one-time thermal fuse, not a resettable thermostat or breaker. Once it blows, it's permanently open and must be replaced — there's no reset button or procedure.
Why did my thermal fuse blow in the first place?
This fuse blows in response to excessive heat, usually caused by restricted airflow — a clogged lint trap, a crushed or blocked exhaust duct, or a bird's nest or lint buildup in the outside vent hood — or by a failed cycling thermostat that no longer regulates temperature correctly. Clear the airflow path and check the thermostat when you replace the fuse, or the new one is likely to blow again.
Where is this fuse located on my dryer?
On most GE dryers it's mounted on or near the heater box/blower housing at the rear of the unit. Some installers find it tucked in a spot that isn't obvious even with the parts diagram in hand, so take your time locating it and confirm it visually matches before removing the old one.

XPARTCO DA47-00243K Refrigerator Defrost Thermostat
The XPARTCO DA47-00243K is an aftermarket replacement defrost bi-metal thermostat compatible with select Samsung French door and bottom freezer refrigerators. This thermostat is a critical component in the automatic defrost system, functioning as a thermal safety device that monitors the temperature of the evaporator coils during the defrost cycle.
When the evaporator reaches the preset maximum temperature of 140°F (60°C), the bi-metal thermostat opens the circuit and cuts power to the defrost heater — preventing overheating and damage to the evaporator. It resets and closes again at 104°F (40°C), allowing the next defrost cycle to begin normally. When the thermostat fails, it can cause excessive frost buildup on the evaporator coils, poor cooling performance, or a heater that won't shut off — all resulting in the refrigerator failing to maintain proper temperatures.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO DA47-00243K Refrigerator Defrost Thermostat fixes refrigerators with excessive frost buildup, a freezer that is too cold while the fridge is too warm, a heater that won't shut off, or a refrigerator that stops cooling.

⚠️ Safety First — Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting Unplug the refrigerator from the power source before beginning any repair. Safely remove and store any food that could deteriorate while the power is off. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Access the evaporator coils by removing the rear panel inside the freezer compartment. Disconnect the wiring harness from the old thermostat and clip the new DA47-00243K thermostat onto the evaporator coil in the same position. Reconnect the wiring harness and reassemble the freezer panel. Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to return to normal operating temperature. Consult your refrigerator's service manual for model-specific instructions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the DA47-00243K fit my Samsung refrigerator?
This thermostat is compatible with select Samsung French door and bottom freezer refrigerators. Use the model search above to verify your model, or contact our support team before ordering.
What does a defrost thermostat do?
The defrost bi-metal thermostat monitors the temperature of the evaporator coils during the defrost cycle. It opens the circuit and cuts power to the defrost heater when the evaporator reaches 140°F (60°C), preventing overheating. It automatically resets and closes again at 104°F (40°C) to allow the next cycle.
What are signs that my defrost thermostat needs replacement?
Common signs include: excessive frost or ice buildup on the evaporator coils, the freezer running too cold while the refrigerator section is too warm, the defrost heater failing to shut off, or the refrigerator not maintaining proper temperatures and food spoiling faster than normal.
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 designed to deliver reliable, long-lasting performance at a more affordable price point.
At what temperatures does the DA47-00243K open and close?
The thermostat opens (cuts power to the heater) at 140°F (60°C) and closes (resets) at 104°F (40°C).
