DE47-20196C - Samsung Microwave Thermostat

This Samsung Microwave Thermostat (DE47-20196C) is a genuine part designed for Samsung microwaves. Microwave thermostats, also known as thermal protectors, measure internal air temperatures to regulate cooking power, preventing overheating or component damage. They operate through bimetallic flexing contacts which open or close as temperatures cross set thresholds. Simple thermostats provide overheat protection only, while smart thermostats dynamically control magnetron outputs during microwave operation. When defective, thermostats need replacement as they play a crucial role in providing thermal protection and regulation for your appliance.

If your microwave begins to overheat frequently or if you notice erratic cooking power, it may indicate the thermostat is failing. Replacing it can help safeguard against further damage. Before purchasing this part, double-check your device's model number for compatibility to ensure you've selected the right component for your microwave.
