341241 Dryer Genuine OEM Drum Belt
The 341241 is a Genuine OEM dryer drum belt compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool-family dryers including Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Roper, Admiral, Jenn-Air, Estate, Magic Chef, Crosley, Inglis, Norge, Modern Maid, Hardwick, Caloric, and Ikea. The drum belt wraps around the outside of the dryer drum, loops around the motor pulley and idler pulley, and drives the drum to rotate during every drying cycle. Without a functioning belt, the drum cannot spin and clothes will not tumble or dry.
Made from high-strength rubber with reinforced ribs, this belt measures 92-1/4 inches long x 1/4 inch wide and features 4 ribs and 3 grooves. It is flat on one side and ribbed on the other, and is built to resist cracking, stretching, and wear under the high heat and repeated tension cycles of daily dryer use. It also replaces some 5-rib, 4-groove belts. Installs in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Safety First — Unplug Dryer Before Starting Unplug the dryer from the power source (and shut off the gas supply for gas dryers) before beginning any repair. Remove the lint screen, then unscrew the two Phillips screws inside the lint filter housing. Use a putty knife 2 inches from each front corner to release the top panel clips and lift the top panel. Remove the front panel to access the drum. Release belt tension at the idler pulley, lift the drum slightly, and slide the old belt off. Loop the new 341241 belt around the drum with the ribbed side facing down (toward the drum). Route the belt around the idler pulley and motor pulley — consult your model's service manual or a model-specific video for the correct belt path. Reassemble and run a test cycle. Tip: While the drum is out, inspect and replace the idler pulley (691366) and drum rollers (349241T) if worn. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife or flat pry tool.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the 341241 differ from the W10205415 and 6602-001655 belts?
All three are 92-inch dryer drum belts, but they differ in width and rib count. The 341241 is 1/4" wide with 4 ribs and 3 grooves. The W10205415 is 3/8" wide with 5 ribs and 4 grooves. The 6602-001655 is 5/16" wide with 5 ribs and 4 grooves designed for Samsung dryers. Always match the part number to your specific model — do not substitute based on appearance alone.
Will this belt fit my Kenmore dryer?
Many Kenmore dryers — especially the popular 110-series — are manufactured by Whirlpool and use the 341241 belt. Check your model number against the compatibility list and contact our support team if you need help confirming the fit before ordering.
How do I know if my drum belt needs to be replaced?
The most obvious sign is that the dryer motor hums but the drum does not spin. You may also notice a thumping or slapping sound during operation, a burning rubber smell, or clothes that are damp after a full cycle. Open the dryer cabinet to visually confirm if the belt is broken, frayed, or stretched.
Should I also replace the idler pulley and drum rollers?
Yes — since the dryer is already disassembled, it is highly recommended to inspect and replace the idler pulley (691366) and drum support rollers (349241T) at the same time. These parts wear at a similar rate and replacing all three together — often sold as a repair kit — prevents having to disassemble the dryer again in the near future.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications. It is the exact same belt that came installed in your dryer from the factory — same materials, dimensions, 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 691366 Dryer Idler Pulley Assembly Replaces WP691366
The XPARTCO 691366 is an aftermarket replacement dryer idler pulley assembly compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool-family dryers — particularly models with the lint filter on top — including Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, Roper, Crosley, Estate, Inglis, Admiral, Magic Chef, and Norge. The idler pulley assembly is a spring-tensioned arm and wheel that presses against the drum drive belt to maintain correct belt tension as it wraps around the drum and motor pulley. Without proper tension, the belt slips off the motor pulley, causing the drum to stop spinning. A worn idler pulley bearing also causes squealing, squeaking, or thumping noises during operation.
This is a complete idler arm and pulley assembly — it includes both the spring arm and the wheel, and mounts directly to the existing bracket in the dryer. Overall dimensions are 6"L x 1-5/8"W x 3-7/8"H with a 1-7/8" diameter pulley wheel. It replaces older Teflon friction-style idler pulleys and provides a smoother, longer-lasting ball-bearing wheel. It directly replaces WP691366, 691366, 239477, 337116, 337407, 3394332, 347034, 347226, 4319391, 688166, W10612905, AP6010582, PS11743765, and over 20 additional cross-reference numbers. Often replaced together with the drum belt (341241) and drum support rollers (349241T) as the 4392065 maintenance kit. Installs in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting Disconnect power (and shut off gas for gas dryers) before beginning. Remove the lint screen and unscrew the screws inside the lint screen housing. Use a putty knife to release the top panel spring clips and lift the top panel. Remove the front panel to fully access the drum drive components. Release belt tension by pushing the idler pulley arm toward the motor and sliding the belt off. Note how the belt is routed before removing — take a photo. Unclip or unscrew the old idler pulley assembly from its mounting bracket. Install the new 691366 idler pulley in the same position. Re-route the belt around the drum (ribbed side in), under the idler pulley, and around the motor pulley, then release the idler arm to create tension. Reassemble the front and top panels, restore power, and run a test cycle. Tip: while the dryer is open, inspect and replace the drum belt (341241) and drum support rollers (349241T) if worn. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" or 5/16" nut driver, putty knife.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the idler pulley do?
The idler pulley is a spring-loaded arm and wheel assembly that presses against the drive belt between the drum and the motor pulley, keeping the belt under constant tension. This tension is what allows the belt to grip both the drum and the motor pulley without slipping as the motor spins. Without proper tension — or with a pulley bearing that has failed — the belt slips, the drum stops spinning, and the dryer produces heat but does not tumble clothes. A worn bearing also creates the high-pitched squealing sound that is the most common sign of idler pulley failure.
What is the difference between 691366 and WP691366?
These are the same idler pulley assembly. WP691366 is the updated Whirlpool OEM part number that superseded the original 691366. The W10612905 is also a cross-reference for the same assembly. This aftermarket replacement is compatible with all three numbers.
What is the difference between 691366 and W10837240?
Both are Whirlpool dryer idler pulley assemblies, but for different dryer generations. The 691366 (WP691366) is used on older Whirlpool-family dryers with the lint filter on top of the dryer. The W10837240 is a larger, redesigned idler arm and bracket assembly used on newer Whirlpool-family dryers with the lint screen inside the door. They are not interchangeable. Always verify your model number to confirm which idler pulley is correct for your dryer.
Should I also replace the belt and drum rollers at the same time?
Yes — since the dryer must be disassembled to replace the idler pulley, this is the ideal time to also inspect and replace the drum belt (341241) and rear drum support rollers (349241T). All three parts are part of the same drum drive system and wear at similar rates. The 4392065 maintenance kit includes all three together and is the recommended approach for a complete drum drive repair — one teardown covers everything.
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 durable plastic and metal with a ball-bearing pulley wheel to match the dimensions and performance of the original WP691366 idler pulley assembly.

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

Compatibility
This high-limit thermostat is compatible with select Samsung electric dryers, and also fits select Kenmore dryers built on the Samsung platform, including model numbers such as:

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.

XPARTCO DC64-00828B Dryer Door Switch
The XPARTCO DC64-00828B is an aftermarket replacement dryer door switch (also called a door jamb switch) compatible with a wide range of Samsung and Kenmore Samsung-built electric and gas dryers — including the DV2, DV3, DV4, DV5, DVE, DVG, 592, 401, and 402 series. The door switch is a small safety component mounted near the dryer door frame that detects whether the door is closed. When the door closes, the switch is activated, signaling the control board that the dryer is safe to start or continue running. If the switch fails to detect the closed door, the dryer will not start, will stop mid-cycle, or in rare unsafe failure modes, may continue running with the door open.
This switch directly replaces DC64-00828A (the prior version), 2071595, AP4578931, EAP4210965, PS4210965, PS4210964, 2071594, and PD00028436. It is constructed from durable plastic and metal in white, with dimensions of approximately 1.73"L x 1.73"W x 0.47"H. Note: while this switch looks easy to remove, the front panel actually needs to come off to access it cleanly. Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO DC64-00828B Dryer Door Switch fixes Samsung and Kenmore Samsung-built dryers that won't start when the door is closed, stop mid-cycle, display error codes dC, dF, dE, or d0, or continue running with the door open. Approx. 1.73"L x 1.73"W x 0.47"H, white. Replaces DC64-00828A, 2071595, AP4578931, EAP4210965, PS4210965, PS4210964, 2071594, PD00028436.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power and turn off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Although the door switch appears easy to access from the front, on most Samsung dryer models the front panel actually needs to be removed to install the new switch cleanly. Unscrew and lift off the front panel — be careful not to drop it during reinstallation. Locate the old door switch mounted near the door frame opening. Photograph the wire connections before disconnecting. Unplug the wire harness from the old switch, release the retaining tabs or remove the mounting screws holding the switch in place, and pull it free. Install the new DC64-00828B switch in the same position, reconnect the wire harness, and reinstall the front panel. Restore power, then close the dryer door and start a cycle to confirm the door is properly detected and the dryer runs normally. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do error codes dC, dF, dE, and d0 mean on Samsung dryers?
These door-related error codes on Samsung dryers all indicate the control board is not receiving the expected "door closed" signal from the door switch. dC and d0 commonly appear when the dryer cannot detect a closed door at the start of a cycle, while dF and dE appear when the door signal is lost during a cycle. The dryer's safety logic prevents operation under any of these conditions. Replacing a failed DC64-00828B door switch resolves these codes when the switch itself is the cause; if the codes persist after replacement, check the wiring harness between the switch and the control board for damage.
My dryer is running with the door open — what should I do?
A dryer that continues to run with the door open is a serious safety concern and should be addressed immediately. This usually indicates a failed door switch that is stuck in the "closed" position electrically, even though the door is physically open. Disconnect power to the dryer right away and avoid running it until the switch has been replaced. The DC64-00828B replacement restores normal safety behavior. Until the repair is complete, do not run the dryer.
What is the difference between DC64-00828B and DC64-00828A?
These are the same door switch across successive production revisions. DC64-00828A was the original part number and DC64-00828B is the current updated version. Both are fully interchangeable — if your dryer's parts diagram shows DC64-00828A, the DC64-00828B is the correct current replacement and is covered by this listing.
My dryer suddenly stops mid-cycle even though the door is closed — could this be the switch?
Yes — a door switch with intermittent contact failure is a common cause of unexplained mid-cycle shutdowns on Samsung dryers. The switch may be working correctly when first activated but losing its signal momentarily during operation due to vibration or worn internal contacts, causing the control board to interpret a momentary "door open" condition and stop the cycle. If this is happening repeatedly without any other identifiable cause, replacing the DC64-00828B door switch is the recommended fix.
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 from durable plastic and metal to match the dimensions, switch contacts, and function of the original DC64-00828B dryer door switch.
