XPARTCO AGM30045804 Dryer Thermostat Kit
The XPARTCO AGM30045804 is an aftermarket replacement high-limit thermostat and thermistor kit for LG dryers. These two components work together in the same temperature-regulation circuit: the thermistor is a temperature sensor, mounted in the blower housing with its wire harness included, that continuously reports drum temperature to the control board so it can fine-tune heat output throughout the cycle. The high-limit thermostat is a safety switch that automatically shuts off the heating element if temperatures climb past a safe threshold, then resets itself once the dryer cools, without needing to be replaced the way a thermal fuse does.
Because these two parts share the same circuit and tend to wear or fail around a similar timeline, LG sells and services them together as one kit rather than as separate individual parts. Symptoms of failure in this circuit include the dryer overheating (which can scorch clothing or, left unaddressed, pose a fire risk), the dryer running with little or no heat, drying times that have become inconsistent, an error code related to temperature control on the display, or clothes coming out damp after a full cycle. It directly replaces 6931EL3003C, 6323EL2001B, 6931EL3003F, 6931EL3004B, AP7206815, EAP16732335, and PS16732335. As an aftermarket replacement, the AGM30045804 kit is built to OEM-equivalent quality standards.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO AGM30045804 Dryer Thermostat Kit fixes LG (and select Kenmore, GE-branded LG-built) dryers with overheating, little or no heat, inconsistent drying times, a temperature-related error code, or clothes coming out damp after a full cycle. High-limit thermostat + thermistor with wire harness. Replaces 6931EL3003C, 6323EL2001B, 6931EL3003F, 6931EL3004B, AP7206815, EAP16732335, PS16732335. If you've already replaced the high-limit thermostat alone and the problem returns, this combined kit — which also addresses the thermistor — is the next step.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Let It Cool Fully First Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning, and allow the dryer to cool completely if it was recently run. Wear work gloves. Access on many LG models follows this general sequence: remove the lint screen, then remove the two front panel screws underneath it, the two screws on the face of the panel, and the two screws holding the blower cover in place. Disconnect the door switch connector and remove the front panel. With the front open, release the drive belt from the tensioner and remove the drum to access the blower housing where the thermistor is located. Photograph the wiring connections before disconnecting anything, since the thermistor and high-limit thermostat can be easy to confuse with other similar-looking components nearby. Disconnect and remove the old thermistor and high-limit thermostat, noting their exact mounting positions. Install the new components from this kit in the same positions, reconnecting wiring exactly as photographed. Reinstall the drum, re-tension the belt over the tensioner, and reassemble the front panel, blower cover, and lint screen area in reverse order. Restore power and run a full test cycle to confirm normal, consistent heating with no premature shutoffs. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
I already replaced the high-limit thermostat, but it keeps tripping. Why would I need this kit instead?
This is a well-documented pattern. If the thermistor — the sensor that reports temperature to the control board — is misreading heat, the control can keep driving the heating element past the point where the high-limit thermostat has to trip repeatedly to protect the dryer, even with a brand-new thermostat installed. Replacing the thermistor alongside the thermostat addresses the root cause rather than just the symptom, which is exactly why LG packages them together as one kit.
What's the difference between the thermistor and the high-limit thermostat?
The thermistor is a sensor, not a switch — it's a variable resistor whose resistance changes with temperature, and the control board reads that value continuously to regulate heat output throughout the cycle. The high-limit thermostat is a safety switch that does one job: it shuts off the heating element automatically if temperature exceeds a safe limit, then resets itself once things cool down. A failing thermistor causes inconsistent or inaccurate heat regulation; a failing high-limit thermostat causes the dryer to shut off unexpectedly or fail to protect against overheating.
My parts diagram shows more thermostat-like parts than what's in this kit. Did I order the wrong thing?
Not necessarily — some LG dryer models have additional related components, such as a separate blower thermostat, that are not part of this specific kit. This kit covers the high-limit thermostat and thermistor. If your repair calls for additional related parts, or if you're not sure exactly which components your model needs, contact our support team with your model number and we'll help you confirm the complete parts list before you order.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine LG OEM part, but is manufactured to match the resistance values, switch threshold, and wire harness configuration of the original AGM30045804 high-limit thermostat and thermistor kit used in compatible LG, Kenmore, and GE-branded LG-built 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.

XPARTCO XP6974 Dryer Thermostat Kit Replaces WP3387134, WP3392519, W10900067, 279816
The XPARTCO XP6974 is an aftermarket dryer thermostat kit containing four thermal components for Whirlpool-family electric and gas dryers including Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, Roper, Admiral, Estate, Crosley, Inglis, and Magic Chef. The kit includes the cycling thermostat (WP3387134), thermal fuse (WP3392519), high-limit thermostat and thermal cut-off kit (279816 / W10900067) — the complete set of heat-sensing and safety components that regulate dryer temperature and prevent dangerous overheating.
These four components work together to control and protect the dryer's heating system. When any one of them fails, the dryer may produce no heat, overheat, run too long, or stop mid-cycle. Because a failed thermal fuse is almost always caused by an underlying overheating condition that also stresses the other components, replacing all four together in a single repair is the recommended approach. Includes all wiring hardware needed for installation. Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO XP6974 Dryer Thermostat Kit fixes Whirlpool-family dryers that produce no heat, overheat, take too long to dry, or stop mid-cycle. Includes all four thermal components: cycling thermostat (L155-25), thermal fuse (196°F), high-limit thermostat (L250-80), and thermal cut-off (309°F). Compatible with Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, Roper, Admiral, Estate, Crosley, Inglis, and Magic Chef electric and gas dryers.
Common Problems This Kit Fixes
Dryer produces no heat — thermal fuse or high-limit thermostat has blown
Dryer takes multiple cycles or very long time to dry clothes
Dryer overheats — clothes or drum too hot to touch after a cycle
Dryer shuts off mid-cycle and will not restart
Dryer tumbles normally but generates no heat at all
Dryer runs too long because cycling thermostat is not regulating temperature
Repeated thermal fuse failures — underlying thermostat fault causing recurring overheating

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. The thermal fuse (WP3392519) and cycling thermostat (WP3387134) are located on the exhaust duct or blower housing — disconnect the wires, unscrew the mounting screws, and install the new parts in the same positions. The high-limit thermostat and thermal cut-off (279816 kit) are located on the heating element housing — disconnect the wires and unscrew the mounting screws to remove the old parts and install the new ones. Reconnect all wires to the correct terminals — take a photo before disconnecting to reference during reinstallation. Reassemble the back panel, restore power, and run a test cycle to verify heat. Tip: Before running the dryer, also clean the full length of the exhaust duct — a clogged vent is the most common root cause of dryer overheating and repeated thermal fuse failures. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does each part in this kit do?
The cycling thermostat (WP3387134) monitors the air temperature in the exhaust duct and cycles the heating element on and off to maintain the correct drying temperature — it is the part that controls how hot the dryer gets during normal operation. The thermal fuse (WP3392519) is a one-time safety device that permanently cuts power to the heating element if the dryer overheats above 196°F — it is the most common cause of no-heat in Whirlpool-family dryers. The high-limit thermostat opens at approximately 250°F to cut heating element power if temperature gets too high, and resets automatically when it cools. The thermal cut-off is a backup one-time fuse on the heating element that opens at 309°F if the high-limit thermostat fails to protect the heater.
Why should I replace all four parts instead of just the one that failed?
When a thermal fuse blows, it almost always blew because the dryer overheated — and that overheating event put significant stress on all the other thermal components as well. A failing cycling thermostat is the most common cause of repeated thermal fuse failures: if the cycling thermostat stops regulating temperature correctly, the dryer runs too hot, the high-limit thermostat is repeatedly stressed, and the thermal fuse eventually blows. Replacing just the fuse without replacing the cycling thermostat means the same overheating will blow the new fuse. Replacing all four parts at once eliminates that risk in a single repair.
How do I test these parts with a multimeter?
Set the multimeter to continuity or resistance mode. The thermal fuse (WP3392519), cycling thermostat (WP3387134), and high-limit thermostat should all show closed continuity (near-zero resistance) at room temperature. The thermal cut-off should also show closed continuity at room temperature. Any part that reads open (no continuity / infinite resistance) at room temperature has failed and needs to be replaced. A blown thermal fuse or cut-off will always read open — they are one-time devices and cannot reset.
What causes the thermal fuse to blow repeatedly?
The most common cause by far is a clogged exhaust vent — lint accumulation inside the dryer duct restricts airflow, causing heat to build up inside the dryer cabinet until the thermal fuse trips. Always clean the full length of the exhaust duct before and after replacing these parts. Other causes include a failing cycling thermostat that is not regulating temperature correctly, a stuck heating element relay, or a dryer placed in an enclosed space without adequate ventilation.
Is this kit compatible with both electric and gas dryers?
Yes — the XP6974 kit is compatible with both electric and gas Whirlpool-family dryers. Both types use the same cycling thermostat (WP3387134) and thermal fuse (WP3392519). The high-limit thermostat and thermal cut-off (279816 kit) are located on the heating element in electric models and on the burner assembly area in gas models. Always verify your specific model number before ordering to confirm all four parts apply to your dryer.

Fits Specific GE Dryer Models.
Replaces Part Numbers: WE01X21167, WH11X23474, 4392876, AP5986370, PS11725223.
Description: This Knob is a Genuine OEM part for specific GE dryer models. This component allows you to select various dryer settings and cycles by turning the control mechanism. It ensures that users can easily adjust and operate the dryer according to their laundry needs. Causes of a bad knob can include wear and tear from frequent use, accidental damage from dropping or mishandling, or internal cracking and splitting that compromise its functionality.
XPARTCO WE01X30638 Laundry Center Control Knob
The XPARTCO WE01X30638 is an aftermarket replacement control knob compatible with select GE, Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore GE-built laundry centers (stacked washer/dryer combination units). The control knob mounts on the timer or cycle selector shaft on the laundry center's control panel — it's what you grip and turn to choose wash cycles, dry cycles, and timer settings on both the washer and dryer sections of the unit. Because a stacked laundry center's knobs get twice the daily use of a standalone appliance (one control panel serving both washer and dryer functions), cracked and stripped knobs are one of the most common repairs on these units.
Constructed from durable black ABS plastic with a polished silver edge ring and an internal metal plate insert that grips the D-shaped control shaft — allowing precise detent positioning so you land exactly on your desired cycle setting. Approximately 2" in diameter with thick inner walls to resist the cracking that plagues aging original knobs. Snap-on installation — pulls straight off, pushes back on, no tools required. This is the current production version, directly superseding WE01X24776. It also replaces 4961358, AP6996856, PS16226089, and EAP16226089. Installs in under 1 minute — no tools required.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Laundry Center Before Starting — Quick Toolless Replacement Disconnect power before beginning as a general safety precaution. Locate the old control knob on the laundry center's control panel. Grip the knob firmly and pull it straight off the control shaft — it should come off with a moderate pull (no tools required). If the knob is cracked and spinning without releasing, wrap a soft cloth around it for extra grip, or gently pry it off with a plastic tool (avoid metal tools that could scratch the control panel). Once the old knob is off, inspect the metal control shaft — note the D-shape (flat side) of the shaft. If the shaft itself is damaged, worn round, or the timer behind it feels loose, the underlying timer or switch may also need attention. Align the new WE01X30638 knob's internal D-shaped receiver with the flat side of the shaft and push it firmly straight on until it seats fully. Rotate the knob through its full range to confirm it clicks into each detent position cleanly and the indicator lines up with the panel markings. Restore power and run a quick test cycle. If replacing multiple knobs, repeat for each position — they're all identical on compatible GUD27-series units. Tools needed: None (soft cloth optional).
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do the knobs on my GE laundry center keep cracking?
The original knobs on GUD27-series laundry centers are subject to constant rotational stress concentrated at the D-shaped shaft opening — and on a stacked laundry center, one control panel serves both the washer and dryer, so the knobs see roughly double the daily turning of a standalone appliance's controls. Over years of use, hairline cracks form at the shaft opening and gradually spread until the knob's grip strips and it spins freely. The replacement knob's thick inner walls and internal metal plate insert are designed to resist this failure pattern. If one of your knobs has cracked, check the others — knobs from the same production era typically crack around the same time, and replacing them together saves a repeat order.
What's the difference between WE01X30638 and WE01X24776?
These are the same control knob across production revisions. WE01X24776 was the earlier GE part number, and WE01X30638 is the current production version that GE issued as its direct replacement. Both are physically and functionally interchangeable — if your laundry center's parts diagram shows WE01X24776, the WE01X30638 is the correct current replacement, and this listing covers both numbers. There may be a very slight color variation between the new knob and your aged originals, but the fit and function are identical.
How do I remove the old knob if it's cracked and just spins?
When the internal grip has stripped, the knob spins on the shaft instead of pulling off cleanly. Wrap a soft cloth around the knob for extra grip and pull firmly straight out while wiggling slightly. If that doesn't work, gently work a plastic pry tool (a plastic putty knife or old credit card) behind the knob's base and lever it outward evenly around its circumference. Avoid metal tools, which can scratch the control panel. If the knob is badly cracked, you can also carefully break away the remaining plastic to free it from the shaft. Once removed, the new knob pushes straight on.
Does this knob work for both the washer and dryer controls on my laundry center?
Yes — on compatible GUD27-series laundry centers, the control knobs across the panel are the same part, whether they operate washer cycle selection, dryer timer, or other rotary controls that use the same D-shaped shaft. If you're replacing more than one knob, a single part number covers all matching positions. Just confirm each position's knob is the same ~2" diameter style before ordering multiples — if your unit has a visibly different-sized knob at any position, verify against the parts diagram first.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine GE OEM part, but is manufactured from durable ABS plastic with an internal metal plate insert to match the dimensions (~2" diameter), D-shaped shaft receiver, snap-on installation, and appearance of the original WE01X30638/WE01X24776 control knob used in compatible GE, Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore GE-built laundry centers.

XPARTCO XP311 Dryer Thermostat Kit for LG
The XPARTCO XP311 is an aftermarket replacement 3-piece thermostat kit for LG electric dryers, bundling the thermal fuse, thermistor, and high-limit thermostat that work together to regulate and protect the dryer's heating system. These three components monitor heat continuously during normal operation and step in at different thresholds if something goes wrong, which is why they're commonly replaced as a set — a single overheating event or a slow age-related drift in one part can put stress on the others, and buying them together also saves a second teardown if one of the remaining parts fails soon after.
This kit includes: the 6931EL3003D thermal fuse, a one-time safety device that permanently cuts power to the dryer if internal temperatures climb dangerously high; the 6323EL2001B thermistor, a temperature sensor assembly with wire harness that continuously reports drum temperature to the control board so it can regulate heat output during the cycle; and the 6931EL3001E high-limit thermostat, which automatically shuts off the heating element if the dryer's temperature exceeds safe operating limits, without needing to be replaced like the thermal fuse does. Symptoms of failure in this circuit include incomplete drying, insufficient heating time, overheating that damages clothing, and the dryer shutting down prematurely or failing to start at all. It directly replaces AP4440975, 1268366, 6931EL3003E, AH3530485, EA3530485, PS3530485 (thermal fuse); AP4441539, 1268206, 6323EL2001H, AH3529026, EA3529026, PS3529026 (thermistor); and AP4440977, 1268363, 6931EL3001B, 6931EL3001C, AH3530481, EA3530481, PS3530481, 6931EL3001F (high-limit thermostat).

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Test Before Assuming All Three Have Failed 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 — these components are commonly mounted on or near the blower housing and heater duct assembly. Photograph the wiring connections before disconnecting anything, since the thermal fuse, thermistor, and high-limit thermostat can look similar and are easy to swap positions by mistake. Before installing the full kit, it's reasonable to test each old component with a multimeter to confirm which have actually failed — the thermal fuse and high-limit thermostat can each be checked for continuity, though replacing all three together is still standard practice given how this circuit tends to fail. Remove each old component from its mounting position, noting orientation, and disconnect its wiring. Install each new component from the kit in the same position and orientation as the part it replaces, reconnecting wiring exactly as photographed. Reassemble the panel, restore power, and run a full test cycle to confirm normal heating, consistent drying, and no premature shutoffs. Tools needed: Phillips or nut driver (model-dependent), multimeter (recommended), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need to replace all three parts, or can I just replace the one that failed?
You can test each component individually with a multimeter and replace only the ones that fail, but there's a good reason these are commonly sold and replaced together: they share the same heating circuit and tend to age or fail around the same time, especially if an overheating event caused the original failure. Replacing all three at once avoids a second teardown if one of the remaining original parts fails again soon after.
What's the difference between the thermal fuse and the high-limit thermostat? They sound similar.
Both protect against overheating, but they behave very differently. The high-limit thermostat is the first line of defense — it shuts off the heating element automatically if temperature climbs too high, then resets itself once things cool down, letting the dryer resume normal operation. The thermal fuse is the backup: if temperatures climb high enough that the thermostat alone doesn't prevent a dangerous overheat, the fuse permanently opens the circuit and cuts all power. Unlike the thermostat, the fuse cannot reset itself and must be physically replaced once it blows.
What does the thermistor actually do, and why does it matter if it's a sensor rather than a switch?
The thermistor doesn't switch anything on or off directly — it's a variable resistor whose resistance changes with temperature, and the control board reads that resistance continuously to know exactly how hot the drum is running. That ongoing feedback is what lets the control board fine-tune heat output throughout the cycle rather than just running hot or cold. A failing thermistor can cause the control to misjudge temperature, leading to insufficient heat, inconsistent drying, or the control cutting the cycle short.
My dryer blew a thermal fuse. Should I get this whole kit instead of just the fuse?
It's worth considering, especially since a blown thermal fuse usually means the dryer actually overheated at some point — and that same overheating event can stress the thermistor and high-limit thermostat even if they haven't failed outright yet. Also worth checking regardless of which parts you replace: restricted exhaust venting is the most common root cause of dryer overheating, so inspect and clean the vent ducting when you do this repair, or the new parts may face the same stress that damaged the originals.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket kit?
This is an aftermarket replacement kit built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine LG OEM kit, but each component is manufactured to match the electrical specifications, resistance values, and mounting configuration of the original 6931EL3003D thermal fuse, 6323EL2001B thermistor, and 6931EL3001E high-limit thermostat used in compatible LG electric dryers.
