Samsung DC47-00017A Washer/Dryer High Limit Thermostat

The Samsung DC47-00017A is a high-limit thermostat that controls temperature and prevents overheating in your Samsung dryer. It protects your clothes and the dryer at the same time as a safety precaution. The DC47-00017A is a device that is placed close to the exhaust duct or heating element and is used to continuously check the dryer drum's air temperature. The thermostat continuously monitors the air temperature during the drying cycle. The thermostat initiates an important safety feature if the temperature rises above a predetermined safety limit, which is usually set at about 195 degrees Fahrenheit. To stop the heating element from producing more heat and perhaps causing harm, the thermostat automatically turns off the electricity to it. By keeping the dryer operating within a safe temperature range, the thermostat guards against over-drying or damaging clothing.
