Dryer Overheating, No Heat, or tE Error Code? Thermistor DC32-00007A – Fix Temperature Sensor Failure Fast
A failed thermistor is the #1 cause of tE error codes, overheating, and no-heat conditions in Samsung dryers. In most Samsung dryers, the DC32-00007A thermistor is mounted on the blower housing and continuously monitors exhaust temperature. When it fails, the control board loses its temperature reference — triggering safety shutoffs, error codes, or uncontrolled overheating. ⚡ Common failure point in Samsung-platform dryers across hundreds of models. Part DC32-00007A is the genuine OEM thermistor that restores accurate temperature sensing and normal drying operation.
❓ Is This the Right Part?
This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:
- ✔ Dryer powers on and drum turns normally
- ✔ Heating element and thermal fuse test OK (or have already been replaced)
- ✔ Venting is clear — no blockage or restriction
- ✔ Problem is tE error code, overheating, no heat, or inconsistent drying temperatures

🔧 Common Symptoms
- tE, tE1, tE2, or tE3 error code on display
- Dryer overheats or shuts off mid-cycle
- Dryer runs but produces no heat
- Clothes still damp after a full cycle
- Dryer takes multiple cycles to dry a normal load
- Intermittent heating — works sometimes, fails others
✔ If these symptoms match, the thermistor is the most likely failed component.
✔ In most cases, replacing this thermistor restores normal temperature control immediately.
📦 Part Details
- Part Number: DC32-00007A
- Type: Dryer Control Thermistor / Temperature Sensor — blower housing mount
- Replaces: 35001191
- Cross-Reference: WP35001191 (Whirlpool-family equivalent)
- Brands: Samsung OEM; compatible aftermarket also available
If your dryer threw a tE code, also test the thermal fuse and heating element before reassembling. A failed thermistor can mask secondary heat-circuit issues — catching them now avoids a second service call.
⚙️ Installation
Skill Level: EASY — 15–30 minutes. Disconnect power before servicing. Access the blower housing by removing the dryer's rear or front panel depending on model. Unplug the thermistor connector, remove the mounting screw, and swap the sensor. Reconnect, restore power, and run a test cycle to confirm the error code is cleared.

💡 Pro Tip
A working DC32-00007A thermistor reads approximately 10,000 ohms (10kΩ) at room temperature. Use a multimeter on the resistance setting — if you read open (OL) or significantly outside that range, the thermistor has failed. This confirms the part before you order and rules out a wiring harness issue.
