Troubleshooting Guide

- Never permanently bypass the thermal fuse or substitute an unapproved temperature control.
Safety warning: Electric dryers use hazardous line voltage. Disconnect power and use a qualified appliance technician when you are not trained in electrical diagnosis.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a Genuine Samsung OEM part?
No. It is a quality XPARTCO aftermarket replacement for compatible Samsung dryer applications.
Can the thermal fuse be reset?
No. An open safety control should be replaced after the overheating cause has been diagnosed and corrected.
Can I bypass the fuse to test the dryer?
Do not operate the dryer with the safety control bypassed. Bypassing an overheat device can create a fire and electrical hazard.
Why did the replacement fuse fail again?
Repeated failure usually indicates restricted airflow, a blocked vent, blower problem, heater fault, wiring issue, or another temperature-control problem.
