Samsung Dryer Not Heating? The Thermal Cut-Off Fuse DC47-00015A Is Likely Blown
When a Samsung dryer's thermal cut-off fuse blows, the dryer loses all heat — or stops running entirely. This is a one-time safety device: once it trips at 320°F, it cannot reset and must be replaced. The DC47-00015A Thermal Cut-Off Fuse is the direct replacement that restores heat and protects your dryer's heating circuit from runaway temperatures.
Symptoms of a Blown Thermal Cut-Off Fuse
- Dryer runs but produces no heat
- Dryer won’t start at all
- Clothes come out damp after a full cycle
- Dryer shuts off mid-cycle
- No error code displayed — dryer just stops heating
- Multimeter shows no continuity across the fuse

Thermal cut-off fuses don’t fail randomly — they blow because the dryer overheated. The most common cause is a clogged exhaust vent or lint trap restricting airflow. Before installing the new fuse, clean the full exhaust duct from dryer to exterior vent. Also test the cycling thermostat (DC47-00018A) — a failed thermostat allows temperatures to climb unchecked and will blow the new fuse within a few cycles.
Installation Notes
- Skill Level: Intermediate — rear panel removal required on most Samsung models
- Always disconnect power before beginning any repair
- Test the old fuse with a multimeter (no continuity = confirmed blown)
- The thermal cut-off fuse is located on the exhaust duct near the heating element
- Clean the exhaust duct thoroughly before reassembly
- Also inspect and test the cycling thermostat DC47-00018A while the panel is open
