XPARTCO DC96-00887C Dryer Thermal Cut-Off Fuse
320°F thermal cut-off fuse and bracket assembly for select Samsung-built electric dryers.
Product Overview
The XPARTCO DC96-00887C Dryer Thermal Cut-Off Fuse is a safety component mounted in the dryer heating system. If excessive temperature is detected, the thermal cut-off opens the heating circuit to help protect the dryer from unsafe overheating.
This is a quality XPARTCO aftermarket replacement part supplied as a thermal cut-off fuse with mounting bracket for compatible Samsung-built dryers.
Quick Answer
DC96-00887C is a 320°F (approximately 160°C) dryer thermal cut-off fuse and bracket assembly. It replaces DC96-00887A on compatible models. A blown cut-off can cause a no-heat condition and should prompt inspection of airflow, venting, the heating element, thermistor, and related temperature controls before the dryer is returned to service.
Common Problems This Part May Fix
- Dryer runs but does not heat
- Heating element does not energize
- Thermal cut-off tests open with a meter
- Dryer stopped heating after an overheating event
- Previous thermal cut-off has failed or opened

Installation & Diagnostic Notes
- Disconnect the dryer from electrical power before service.
- Confirm the failed thermal cut-off tests open before replacement.
- Inspect the exhaust vent, lint system, blower wheel, and ducting for restricted airflow.
- Inspect the heating element for a short-to-ground or element coil contacting the heater housing.
- Check the thermistor and related temperature-control components if the dryer has been overheating.
- Install the new cut-off in the original mounting position and reconnect the two terminals securely.
- Reassemble all guards and panels before restoring power.
Do not bypass this safety device. A thermal cut-off that opens repeatedly is usually a symptom of an overheating condition. Replacing the fuse without correcting the root cause can result in another failure or an unsafe dryer.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is DC96-00887C the replacement for DC96-00887A?
Yes. DC96-00887A was superseded by DC96-00887C for compatible dryer models.
What temperature is this thermal cut-off rated for?
It is rated at 320°F, approximately 160°C.
Can a blown thermal cut-off cause no heat?
Yes. When the cut-off opens, the heating circuit can no longer operate normally, resulting in a no-heat condition.
Should I replace only the fuse?
Replace the failed part, but also diagnose why it opened. Restricted venting, poor airflow, a grounded heating element, or a temperature-control problem can cause repeated failure.
Is this a Genuine Samsung OEM part?
No. This is a quality XPARTCO aftermarket replacement part for compatible Samsung-built dryers.
