Understanding the Problem
DC97-19755A appears to be an OEM Samsung part number, but without the appliance model or a photo it’s not possible to identify the exact component with 100% certainty. Many Samsung part numbers beginning with DC97 are used across washers and dryers for items such as sensors, switches, harnesses, and small mechanical assemblies. That means the same number could represent a door component, sensor, or electrical subassembly depending on the model and year. To properly diagnose, you should first confirm the appliance model number (usually on a sticker inside the door opening or on the back panel), compare the part number and image in the official Samsung parts diagram for that model, and then test the component with basic tools (visual inspection, continuity/multimeter checks, and swapping with a known-good part if available). Following a methodical identification and testing process avoids unnecessary replacements and ensures the correct repair path.
Common Symptoms
Symptoms vary by the component but commonly include door-not-locking errors, machine not starting, intermittent operation, unusual noises, or specific error codes. If the part is electrical, you may see no continuity or voltage where expected; if mechanical, you may see broken plastic, wear, or misalignment.
Common Causes
- Aging/plastic fatigue or physical damage from use (cracks, broken tabs, worn teeth)
- Electrical failure such as an open circuit, short, or intermittent connector
- Corrosion or bent pins in the harness/connector causing intermittent signals

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I confirm DC97-19755A is the correct part for my appliance?
Locate your appliance's model number (usually on the door frame, inside the washer door, or on the back panel). Enter that model number into an official Samsung parts lookup or reputable parts seller and compare the part number and the exploded diagram image. If the image and mounting location match the component in your machine, DC97-19755A is the correct part.
Can I test DC97-19755A myself before buying a replacement?
Yes — after removing power to the appliance, visually inspect the part and connectors for damage. Use a multimeter to check continuity or resistance according to the function (switches should open/close, sensors will have expected resistance ranges). If you don’t have the specification, compare readings to the same component on another identical machine or consult the service manual. Always disconnect power and follow safety precautions when testing electrical components.
