Samsung DC47-00018A Dryer High Limit Thermostat OEM Part

Replaced heating element and thermostat, took me about 2 hours but that's because i had to vacuum out the dryer inside and I also checked the fan before I closed the dryer back up. I have a Samsung DV448AAEP. Works great and saved my family money!

Yes. Since I was replacing the heating element I decided to replace the fuses and thermostat. I ordered and installed the parts I purchased from Appliance Parts Pros and the dryer works great.

Replace thermostat. Replaced all sensors just to update all components in the dryer.

A month ago I replaced the heating element in a Samsung Dryer, everything was working great, then it stopped heating again. I disassembled the dryer again thinking g the heating element had quit working again. After takining it apart again I found the element be still intact and okay. On the side of the elheating element housing are two other parts (1) the thermostat and (2) fuse assembly. I noticed the fuse assembly had a melted spot on it. I used a multimeter to check the contunity found it to be open. I replace the fuse assembly and went ahead a replaced the thermostat. I also replace the vent hose due possible airflow restriction. Put everything back together and dryer is working great. I am going to check the vent hose monthly, and keep it clean and free of any debris which will help with airflow and keep the parts working properly. Hope this helps.

After watching several videos on You tube, I decided to diy repair. Originally, I ordered a complete heater assembly from the Samsung support parts system. After 10 days, they could not deliver, so I cancelled and ordered from Appliancepartspro.com. They did not have the complete assembly either, but did have the heater element and the two thermostats available and I reused the original housing. I also ordered a new drive belt since I was going to be tearing down anyway. I received the parts in about 5 days. Tear-down and assembly went pretty much as shown in the videos. There were a couple things I did a little different. First, at tear-down I marked the 6 wires connected to heater and thermostats with numbered tape tabs. I don't know how important their exact location is, but this way I was sure. Secondly, I am old and working on the floor is not so easy. So after moving the upper panel and removing the front panel, I replaced the 2 screws at the rear of the upper panel and secured the front of the upper panel to the side panels using Guerrilla Tape. Then I tipped the machine on its back using a piece of lumber or rug to protect the back. This made access to the remaining components a snap. Whether lucky or good, it fired up first try. Now wife's hero again!
