Description
Ensure your Samsung or Kenmore electric dryer operates safely with the DC47-00018A High-Limit Thermostat. This essential OEM component monitors the heat in the blower housing and will cut power to the heating element if the temperature gets too high, protecting your appliance from potential fire hazards.
Features & Benefits:
- Critical non-resettable safety control that protects the dryer from overheating.
- Genuine Samsung OEM part ensures accurate temperature calibration and fit.
- Features a metallic mounting plate for secure attachment to the heat duct assembly.
- Resolves issues where the dryer runs excessively hot or prematurely blows the thermal fuse.
Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement:
- Dryer stops heating entirely after running for a while.
- The dryer overheats, sometimes leaving clothes excessively hot or scorched.
- The thermostat tests as permanently open (no continuity) when cool.

Compatibility Note: If this thermostat fails, always inspect the dryer's exhaust vent for lint clogs and check the primary thermal fuse, as poor venting is the leading cause of high-limit trips.
