Joseph for Model Number Samsung DV42H5600EP/A3 Electric Front-Load Dryer I am getting conflicting information regarding the correct Thermal Cut-Off Fuse or thermostat or whatever the correct name is for the one that is located on the housing that houses the heating element, NOT the one for the blower. Two part numbers come up: DC47-00015A and DC47-00016A. Some say 15A is for the blower and 16A is for the element housing while others say the opposite. I did replace 6 months ago with a 16A and it has blown again. The original was a PTS17S which indicates it came from the factory with the 16A. Is it possible that the incorrect one was installed at the factory and that it should have been a 15A or is it correct and the 16A is indeed for the heating element housing and 15A is for the blower? I also see online no temperature rating for the 16A but see that the 15A says " 320-degree Fahrenheit cut-off temperature". So which should have the 320 cut off temp, the blower or the heating element?
Answer Joseph, The 16A would be more likely for the heater element since it will have a higher amp draw. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Tuesday, January 23, 2024
