XPARTCO DC47-00016A Dryer Thermal Fuse The XPARTCO DC47-00016A is an aftermarket replacement thermal fuse for Samsung dryers. Mounted on the blower housing near the heat source, this fuse is a one-time safety device: as long as the dryer stays within its normal operating temperature, it does nothing at all, but the instant internal temperatures climb dangerously high — almost always from restricted airflow — the fuse permanently opens the circuit and cuts power to the dryer. That's why a blown thermal fuse produces such a specific symptom: the dryer won't start at all, with no lights, no tumble, and no response, even though the outlet has power. This fuse terminates in 1/4" male spade connectors for a direct plug-in fit. Unlike a thermostat, a thermal fuse cannot be reset once it blows — it must be replaced. Critically, a blown thermal fuse is almost always a symptom rather than a random failure: restricted exhaust venting is the leading cause, since trapped heat is exactly what the fuse is designed to react to. A failing thermistor can also cause repeated fuse blows, since the two work together to regulate temperature. It directly replaces 2068545, AP4201894, AP4201899, PS4205213, EAP4205213, PS2038378, PS2038533, and 35001087. Quick Answer The XPARTCO DC47-00016A Dryer Thermal Fuse fixes Samsung dryers that won't start at all — no lights, no tumble, no response to any button — after overheating from restricted airflow. 1/4" male spade terminals.

Always inspect and clean the dryer venting when replacing this fuse — a blown fuse is a symptom of restricted airflow, and installing a new fuse without fixing the vent will likely blow it again. Common Problems This Part Fixes Dryer won't start at all — no lights, no tumble, no response to any button Dryer that stopped working suddenly, especially after a load felt unusually hot Dryer runs a short time then shuts off completely and won't restart Repeated blown fuses on a dryer with a known venting or airflow restriction Clothes coming out extremely hot right before the dryer stopped working Dryer that recently smelled like burning or overheating before failing Continuity test shows an open circuit across the old fuse Cross Reference Information Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models.

Wear work gloves. Access is typically through the rear panel: remove the screws securing the panel to reach the blower housing where the fuse is mounted, usually alongside the thermistor. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting the spade terminals from the old fuse. Remove the mounting screw holding the fuse in place and pull it free, disconnecting both spade terminal wires. Before installing the new fuse, test it for continuity with a multimeter to confirm it's good out of the box, and test the old one to confirm it's actually blown (no continuity) rather than assuming. This is the most important step: fully inspect and clean the dryer's exhaust vent, from the lint trap housing all the way to the exterior vent hood, checking for lint buildup, crushed sections, or excessive length. A blown thermal fuse is a symptom of restricted airflow, and skipping this step means the new fuse is likely to blow again. Install the new DC47-00016A in the same mounting position, reconnect both spade terminals, and secure the mounting screw. Reinstall the rear panel, restore power, and run a test cycle to confirm normal heating and shutoff behavior. Tools needed: Phillips or nut driver (model-dependent), multimeter, vent brush or vacuum attachment for cleaning ductwork, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions I replaced the fuse and it blew again. What's going on? This is a strong sign that the underlying cause — almost always restricted airflow — was never addressed. Thermal fuses don't fail from age; they blow because the dryer overheated. If a new fuse keeps blowing, thoroughly inspect and clean the entire exhaust path from the lint trap housing to the outside vent hood, checking for lint buildup, crushed or kinked ductwork, or a vent run that's too long. If airflow checks out and the fuse still blows, have the thermistor and thermostat checked as well, since a failing thermistor can also trigger repeated fuse blows. Can I just reset the thermal fuse instead of replacing it? No. Unlike a thermostat, a thermal fuse is a one-time safety device — once it blows, its internal circuit is permanently broken and it cannot be reset or repaired. Replacement is the only option. Should I replace the thermistor at the same time as the fuse? It's worth strongly considering, and it's a common manufacturer recommendation. The thermistor and thermal fuse work together to manage temperature, and a failing thermistor can cause the dryer to run hotter than it should, leading directly to repeated fuse blows. Replacing both together, especially if your dryer has blown this fuse more than once, addresses the more likely root cause rather than just the symptom. My clothes came out extremely hot right before the dryer died. Is that related? Yes, this is a classic warning sign. Clothes coming out unusually hot indicates the dryer was already running hotter than normal, which is exactly the condition that leads to a blown thermal fuse. If you noticed this before the dryer stopped working, it strongly points to a ventilation or airflow problem that should be fully addressed before running the dryer again. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Samsung OEM part, but is manufactured to match the electrical specifications, spade terminal connections, and mounting configuration of the original DC47-00016A thermal fuse used in compatible Samsung, LG, and Kenmore dryers.

WP40111201 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer Drum Belt The WP40111201 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM drum belt for full-size Whirlpool-built dryers. The belt is a long, slender loop that wraps all the way around the outside of the drum, passes around the tension (idler) pulley, and loops around the drive motor pulley. This belt is the sole mechanical connection between the motor and the drum — there is no gear or direct coupling — so when it breaks or slips off, the dryer behaves in a very specific way: the console lights up, the motor runs, the blower moves air, but the drum sits still. Open the door and spin the drum by hand and it will turn freely with no resistance. This belt measures 93-3/8 inches long and 3/8 inch wide, with a 5-rib multi-groove profile. Belts fail from age and heat: the rubber hardens over years of thermal cycling, the ribs glaze over and begin slipping under a wet load, and eventually the belt cracks through or snaps outright. A screeching or squealing noise, a rhythmic thump timed to drum rotation, fraying at the edges, or black rubber dust in the cabinet are all signs a belt is near the end of its life. As a genuine OEM part, the WP40111201 is manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It directly replaces 40111201, WP40111201VP, 14218936, 40051501, 40051502, 59174, 821089, AP6009126, PS11742271, and R0606549. Quick Answer The WP40111201 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer Drum Belt fixes full-size Whirlpool-built dryers where the motor runs but the drum won't turn, the drum spins freely by hand, or the dryer screeches, squeals, or thumps during operation. 93-3/8" long, 3/8" wide, 5-rib profile. Replaces 40111201, WP40111201VP, 14218936, 40051501, 40051502, 59174, 821089, AP6009126, PS11742271, R0606549. Grooves face against the motor pulley on this platform — same orientation as our Y312959 belt. Common Problems This Part Fixes Dryer runs and hums but the drum does not turn — the classic broken belt symptom Drum spins freely by hand with no resistance when the door is open Loud screeching or squealing that begins as soon as the cycle starts Rhythmic thumping or slapping noise timed to drum rotation — cracked or split belt Grinding or rumbling from inside the cabinet as a frayed belt drags Drum turns slowly, intermittently, or stalls under a heavy wet load — glazed belt slipping Dryer won't start, or inadequate heating reported alongside a belt-related noise Black rubber dust or belt fragments found in the bottom of the cabinet Visible cracking, fraying, glazing, or stretching on the old belt Cross Reference Information Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models. For your convenience, we've included any known superseded, alternate, or cross-reference part numbers that match this item. Replaces Part Numbers This dryer drum belt directly replaces the following OEM and cross-reference part numbers: WP40111201, 40111201, 14218936, 40051501, 40051502, 59174, PD00002505, EAP11742271, AP6009126, AWP47792, PS11742271, R0606549, WP40111201VP, 661570V, 661570, 3387610, 3389728, 3393999, 339728, 661570VP, AP5983729, PS11722115. 40111201 is the long-running legacy Whirlpool number and WP40111201 is the current part number carrying the "WP" prefix. If your part number is not listed above, contact our support team before ordering and we will verify compatibility. Compatibility This drum belt is compatible with select full-size Whirlpool-built dryers across the Whirlpool family of brands, including: Whirlpool electric and gas dryers Maytag dryers (select Whirlpool-built models) KitchenAid dryers (select models) Amana dryers (select models) JennAir dryers (select models) Kenmore dryers (select Whirlpool-built models, including SDG3606AWW) Roper, Estate, Admiral, Crosley, Inglis, Magic Chef, and Norge dryers (select models) This belt fits a large number of standard full-size front-load dryers used across North America. Because the compatible model list spans many years and revisions, always verify your full model number against your dryer's data label before ordering. Note: Whirlpool and Maytag use more than one length of drum belt across their dryer lineups, and belts of a similar rib count and width are not automatically interchangeable. This belt is 93-3/8" long — it is NOT the same belt as our 100"-long Y312959 belt used on other Maytag/Whirlpool platforms. A belt that's too long or too short for your drum will slip, walk off the pulley, or fail to seat properly. Measure your old belt or verify your model number before ordering. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure.

On a gas model, also close the gas shutoff valve before moving the cabinet. Wear work gloves — sheet metal edges inside the cabinet are sharp. Pull off the lint trap and remove the screws securing the top panel, then raise the panel and support it with a block of wood. Remove the rear access panel to locate the motor, blower wheel, and belt. Photograph how the old belt routes around the drum, the tension pulley, and the motor pulley before removing anything — if the belt is already broken, note that the grooved side of this belt rides against the motor pulley, with the smooth back facing the drum. Loosen and remove the motor mount, lift the motor slightly, and slide the old belt free. The front panel typically needs to come off as well to fully access the drum. Vacuum out accumulated lint while the cabinet is open — lint buildup around the motor and idler is what cooks belts prematurely. Place the new belt around the drum, seat it in the polished wear track left by the old belt, then route it around the tension pulley and around the motor pulley. Useful trick: tape the belt loosely to the drum with a strip of masking tape before repositioning the motor, so it doesn't slide off while you work. Re-secure the motor mount, then rotate the drum by hand several full turns and confirm the belt tracks straight and stays centered without walking toward an edge. While you're in there, spin the tension pulley and each drum roller by hand — if any is noisy, gritty, or has play, replace it now, since a seized pulley or worn roller will destroy the new belt quickly. Reassemble the front and rear panels and the top panel, restore power, and run a short empty cycle listening for squeal or thump before loading it. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 5/16" nut driver, flat-blade screwdriver, putty knife, masking tape, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions How do I confirm the belt is broken and not the motor? With the dryer unplugged, open the door and try to spin the drum by hand. An intact belt gives firm resistance, because you're turning the motor and idler through the belt. If the drum coasts freely like a bicycle wheel, the belt is broken or has jumped off its pulleys. Sound is the other tell: with a broken belt the motor hums and the blower whooshes normally, so the dryer sounds like it's running perfectly while the drum sits still. A failed motor usually buzzes and does nothing, or trips the breaker outright. What's the difference between WP40111201 and 40111201? They are the same belt across production revisions. 40111201 was the long-running legacy Whirlpool number and WP40111201 is the current number carrying the "WP" prefix Whirlpool adopted. WP40111201VP is a variant packaging code for the same belt. If your dryer's parts diagram or the old belt itself shows any of these numbers, this listing is the correct replacement. The remaining cross-references (14218936, 40051501, 40051502, 59174, 821089, AP6009126, PS11742271, R0606549) are catalog identifiers used by various parts distributors for the same belt. Is this the same belt as your Y312959 listing? No. This belt is 93-3/8" long, while the Y312959 belt in our catalog is 100" long — the two are used on different Maytag/Whirlpool dryer platforms and are not interchangeable. Both share a similar 5-rib profile and grooves-against-motor-pulley orientation, which is exactly why they're easy to confuse. Always check your model number or measure your old belt's length before ordering either one. Which way do the grooves face on this belt? On this Whirlpool platform, the grooved (ribbed) side of the belt rides against the motor pulley, with the smooth back of the belt facing the drum. This is the same orientation as our Y312959 belt, but it is the opposite of some other manufacturers' platforms — for example, Frigidaire's 134719300 belt runs with the grooves facing down against the drum instead. Always confirm orientation for your specific brand and platform, and photograph the old belt before removing it whenever possible. The dryer squeals but the drum still turns. Belt or something else? Could be either, and it's worth diagnosing before you order. A glazed or hardening belt squeals as it slips on the motor pulley, usually loudest at startup and under a heavy wet load. But a dry tension pulley bearing makes a very similar squeal, and worn drum rollers add a low rumble underneath. With the cabinet open, spin the tension pulley and each roller by hand — they should turn smoothly and silently. If they're gritty, noisy, or have play, replace them along with the belt, since they share the same teardown and you'd otherwise be opening the dryer twice. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original 93-3/8" length, 3/8" width, and 5-rib profile of the drum belt originally installed in your Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, or related dryer.

279838 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer Heating Element The 279838 is a Genuine OEM Whirlpool replacement dryer heating element assembly compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, Roper, Crosley, Estate, Inglis, Admiral, and Magic Chef electric dryers. The heating element is the primary heat source in an electric dryer — a nickel-chromium resistance coil wound around a series of ceramic insulators inside a steel housing. When electricity passes through the coil during the drying cycle, it generates the heat needed to evaporate moisture from clothes. When the element coil burns through at a weak point, the circuit is broken and the dryer produces no heat. This Genuine OEM part is manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications and is rated at 5400W / 240V with two 5/16" male terminals. It includes the heating element coil with partial housing and ceramic insulators already mounted — the remaining outer housing from your old assembly is reused. Note: the heating element does not include the thermostat or thermal fuse — those are separate parts. It directly replaces WP279837, 279837, 279838A, 279838VP, 3398063, 3398064, 3403585, 8565582, W10724237, 2438, AP3094254, and several additional cross-reference numbers. Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools.

Remove the back panel of the dryer by unscrewing the perimeter screws to access the heating element housing at the lower rear of the dryer. Photograph the wiring connections before disconnecting anything. Remove the two wire connections from the element terminals and the thermostat/thermal fuse wire connections from the housing. Unscrew the heating element housing from the dryer cabinet and slide the old assembly out. Remove the inner element frame from the outer housing — the outer housing is reused. Transfer the new 279838 element (which comes with a partial housing) into the existing outer housing. Reinstall the housing into the dryer, reconnect all wiring in the same positions as photographed, reinstall the back panel, restore power, and run a test heat cycle. Tip: while the element housing is removed, inspect the thermal fuse (3392519) and high-limit thermostat/cut-off kit (279973) and replace if needed. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver. Frequently Asked Questions How do I test if the heating element has failed? Unplug the dryer and remove the back panel to access the heating element housing. Disconnect the two wire terminals from the element and set your multimeter to continuity or resistance mode. Probe both terminals. A working heating element will show a resistance reading — typically between 8 and 15 ohms for a 5400W/240V element. An open circuit (no continuity / infinite resistance) confirms the element coil has burned through at a break point. You can also visually inspect the coil inside the housing for a visible gap, burn spot, or sag in the wire — any break in the coil indicates a failed element. Does this element include the thermostat and thermal fuse? No — the 279838 includes the heating element coil and partial housing only. The high-limit thermostat and thermal cut-off fuse are separate parts that mount on the element housing and are not included. When replacing the heating element, it is strongly recommended to also replace these thermal components using the 279973 thermostat kit, as a burned-out element is almost always the result of an overheating condition that also stresses the thermostat and thermal cut-off. Replacing them together ensures the heating system is fully restored and reduces the chance of a repeat failure. Why does the 279838 only come with partial housing? The 279838 heating element is designed as a replacement for the inner coil and frame assembly only — it installs inside the existing outer housing from your old assembly. The outer housing is a steel shell that does not wear out and does not need to be replaced under normal circumstances. By including only the partial housing (inner frame and coil), Whirlpool reduces part cost and simplifies installation — you simply swap the new element into your existing outer housing rather than replacing the entire assembly. Will replacing the heating element fix my dryer if the thermal fuse is also blown? Not by itself. If the thermal fuse (3392519) has also blown — which is common when the heating element fails — replacing only the element will not restore heat because the blown fuse permanently interrupts the circuit. You will need to replace both the heating element and the thermal fuse to restore normal operation. Since a thermal fuse blows due to overheating, also replacing the high-limit thermostat and thermal cut-off kit (279973) at the same time is recommended to ensure complete thermal protection is in place. Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part? This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications. It is the exact same heating element assembly installed in compatible Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, and related brand electric dryers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

Remove the lint screen and unscrew the Phillips screws inside the lint screen housing. Use a putty knife to release the top panel clips and lift the top panel. Remove the front panel to access the drum and drive components. Release the drive belt tension by pushing the idler arm, then slide the belt off the idler pulley. Remove the mounting screw securing the old idler arm assembly and lift it out. Install the new W10837240 idler assembly, secure with the mounting screw, then re-route the drive belt around the new pulley and motor pulley. Reassemble the front panel, top panel, and restore power before running a test cycle. Tip: While the dryer is open, inspect the drum belt (WPW10112954) and drum support rollers for wear and replace if needed. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife or flat pry tool. Frequently Asked Questions What does the idler pulley do? The idler pulley is a spring-tensioned wheel mounted on an arm and bracket inside the dryer. It presses against the drive belt to maintain the correct tension needed to keep the belt gripping the drum and motor pulley. Without proper tension, the belt slips, loses contact, or causes the drum to stop spinning. A worn or seized idler pulley is one of the most common causes of dryer squeaking and drum spin failure. Does W10837240 replace W10547287 and W10547290? Yes. The W10837240 is the updated part number that directly supersedes both the W10547287 and W10547290 idler pulley assemblies. If your dryer originally used either of those older part numbers, the W10837240 is the correct current replacement. How do I know if my lint screen is inside the door? Open the dryer door and look for a slot or housing just inside the door opening — typically at the top or bottom of the door opening — where you pull out the lint filter. If the filter pulls out from inside the door frame, the W10837240 is designed for your dryer style. If the lint screen pulls out from the top of the dryer cabinet, contact our support team with your model number to identify the correct idler pulley for your machine. Should I replace the drive belt at the same time? Yes — since the dryer is already disassembled to replace the idler pulley, it is highly recommended to also inspect and replace the drum belt (WPW10112954) at the same time. The belt and idler pulley wear together, and a worn belt on a new pulley — or vice versa — significantly shortens the life of the new part. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured from durable plastic and metal to match the dimensions and performance of the original W10837240 idler pulley assembly.

XPARTCO 8557403 Dryer High-Limit Thermostat with Thermistor Replaces WP8557403 The XPARTCO 8557403 is an aftermarket replacement dryer high-limit thermostat and thermistor sensor assembly compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Amana, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Roper, Admiral, Norge, and Magic Chef electric dryers — including the Whirlpool Duet and Maytag MED series. This single component combines two functions: the high-limit thermostat (rated L146-44C, opens at 295°F) acts as a resettable safety switch that cuts power to the heating element if the dryer air temperature exceeds safe limits, and the integrated 50-ohm thermistor continuously monitors air temperature and sends resistance-based readings to the control board to regulate the drying cycle. When this part fails — whether the thermostat opens permanently or the thermistor provides incorrect temperature data — the dryer may produce no heat, run too hot, take too long to dry, overheat, or display temperature-related error codes. It measures 1-5/8"L x 1-5/8"W x 2"H with approximately 1-5/8" between mounting holes and is constructed from black/gray plastic and metal. It directly replaces WP8557403, 1180102, AP6013164, EAP11746386, PD00003588, and PS11746386.

The 8557403 thermostat/thermistor assembly is typically located on the heating element housing or duct inside the dryer — access it by removing the back panel. On Whirlpool Duet and Maytag front-load-style dryers, the component may be accessible by removing the lower front panel. Photograph all wire connections before disconnecting — the thermistor wires and thermostat wires must be reconnected to the correct terminals. Remove the two mounting screws and pull the old assembly off. Note the position and orientation before removing. Install the new 8557403 assembly in the same position and orientation, reconnect all wires, and reinstall the mounting screws and panel. Restore power and run a test heat cycle to confirm normal operation. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver. Frequently Asked Questions What makes this part unusual — why does it combine a thermostat and a thermistor? The WP8557403 is a combined assembly used on newer Whirlpool Duet and Maytag MED series dryers that use electronic temperature control rather than purely mechanical thermostats. The high-limit thermostat (L146-44C) provides the traditional safety function — it opens the circuit if dryer temperature exceeds 295°F. The integrated NTC thermistor continuously reports resistance-based temperature data to the electronic control board, which uses the data to regulate the heating element and control cycle timing. Both functions are built into a single compact housing, making this a unique part that replaces what older dryers used to handle with separate components. How do I test the thermostat and thermistor? Set your multimeter to continuity or resistance mode. For the thermostat portion: probe the thermostat terminals — at room temperature, a working thermostat shows closed continuity (near-zero resistance). An open circuit at room temperature confirms the thermostat has failed. For the thermistor portion: probe the thermistor terminals — at room temperature (approximately 25°C/77°F), a working 50-ohm NTC thermistor should read approximately 50 ohms. A reading of zero ohms (shorted) or open circuit (no continuity) confirms the thermistor has failed. Either failure mode warrants replacing the complete 8557403 assembly. What is the difference between 8557403 and WP8557403? These are the same part. WP8557403 is the updated Whirlpool OEM part number that superseded the original 8557403. The 1180102 is also a cross-reference for this same assembly. This aftermarket replacement is compatible with all of these numbers. Do I also need to replace the thermal fuse or cycling thermostat? The 8557403 replaces the high-limit thermostat and thermistor mounted on the heating element housing area. The exhaust duct thermal fuse (WP3392519 on most Whirlpool-family dryers) and cycling thermostat (WP3387134) are separate components located on the exhaust duct and are not included in or replaced by the 8557403. If your dryer has no heat, test all thermal components before ordering — check the 8557403 assembly, the thermal fuse, and the cycling thermostat, then order only what has failed. If an overheating event caused the high-limit to fail, the other thermal components may be stressed as well. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured from plastic and metal with an L146-44C thermostat and 50-ohm NTC thermistor to match the specifications and performance of the original WP8557403 assembly.

XPARTCO WE03X37317 - WE03X37318 Dryer Drum Glide Set The XPARTCO WE03X37317 - WE03X37318 is an aftermarket replacement drum glide set for GE and Hotpoint dryers, also used on select Whirlpool and Kenmore dryers and washer-dryer combos. These plastic bearing slides are the wear pads at the front of the dryer that the drum rides on as it turns. As they wear down, the drum no longer sits and rolls smoothly, and the dryer starts to squeak, squeal, or rumble. In worse cases the drum catches or drags, and clothes can get snagged or marked between the drum and the front frame. This set pairs both glide types used on these dryers: the WE03X37317 and the WE03X37318 front bearing slides. Because the slides wear at the same rate, replacing them together restores smooth, quiet drum rotation and avoids a repeat repair. Easy to install, typically 30–60 minutes.

Remove the top and front panels per your model's service guide to expose the front of the drum, and disconnect any wiring that's in the way. Lift or support the drum enough to reach the worn glides, which are held in place at the front bearing support. Pull out the old glides, noting the position and orientation of each, and fit the new ones in the same positions. Reassemble the dryer and spin the drum by hand to confirm it turns smoothly before restoring power. Replace the glides as a set, since they wear at the same rate. Frequently Asked Questions My dryer squeals or rumbles loudly while tumbling — is this the part I need? Worn drum glides are a very common cause of squeaking and scraping from the drum area. If the plastic glides look thin, grooved, or chewed up, replacing them should quiet the dryer and restore smooth rotation. Also check the drum rollers and idler pulley, which can cause similar noises. Why are there two different part numbers? GE uses two glide types at the front of the drum: glide (WE03X37317) and  glide (WE03X37318). This set covers both, so you can replace the full set in one go. Should I replace all the glides or just the worn ones? Replace them together. The glides wear at about the same rate, so if one is worn the others are usually close behind. Will this fit my Whirlpool or Kenmore dryer? These glides are cross-listed for select Whirlpool and Kenmore dryers and washer-dryer combos as well as GE and Hotpoint.

XPARTCO 12138200000320 Dryer Door Catch The XPARTCO 12138200000320 is an aftermarket replacement dryer door catch compatible with select Midea and Insignia dryers. The door catch is a small plastic spring-clip mechanism mounted on the dryer door that snaps over the door strike o12138200000320 n the cabinet opening to hold the door firmly closed during operation. When the door is closed and latched, the door switch is activated — signaling the control board that it is safe to run. When the catch breaks, cracks, or loses its spring tension, the door will not stay closed, the door switch will not activate properly, and the dryer will either not start or will stop mid-cycle. This is a snap-in replacement catch — the color or exact finish may vary by production run. It directly replaces AP7152622 and PS18161385. Sold individually. Installs in under 5 minutes — no tools required in most cases. Quick Answer The XPARTCO 12138200000320 Dryer Door Catch fixes Midea and Insignia dryers where the door won't stay closed, pops open during a cycle, or where the dryer won't start because the door switch isn't being activated. Snap-in installation — no tools required, installs in under 5 minutes. Sold individually. Replaces AP7152622, PS18161385. Common Problems This Part Fixes Dryer door will not stay closed during the drying cycle Door pops open mid-cycle, stopping the dryer Dryer will not start — door switch not being activated by a worn or broken catch Door feels loose or does not click shut firmly when closed Door catch visibly cracked, broken, or missing Dryer requires the door to be held or pushed to stay running Replaces Part Numbers This door catch directly replaces the following part numbers: 12138200000320, AP7152622, PS18161385. Contact our support team with your model number if you need confirmation before ordering. Compatibility This door catch is compatible with select dryers from the following brands: Midea dryers (gas and electric — select models) Insignia dryers (select models) Always verify your appliance model number before ordering. Contact our support team if you're unsure. Key Features Holds the dryer door closed and activates the door switch so the dryer can run safely Snap-in installation — no tools required in most cases; installs in under 5 minutes Durable plastic construction — designed to withstand repeated opening and closing Sold individually — one door catch per order Replaces AP7152622 and PS18161385 Aftermarket replacement built to OEM-equivalent quality standards Product Specifications Part Number 12138200000320 Part Type Dryer Door Catch (Door Latch Clip) Condition Aftermarket Replacement Application Gas and Electric Dryers Material Plastic Installation Snap-in — no tools required Sold As Single door catch Compatible Brands Midea, Insignia Installation Notes ⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting Disconnect power before beginning. Open the dryer door and locate the old door catch — it is a small plastic clip mounted on the inside of the door or on the cabinet opening around the door. Press the tabs on the old catch to release it from its mounting slot and pull it free. Note the orientation before removing. Insert the new 12138200000320 catch into the slot in the same orientation and press firmly until it snaps into place. Close the door to confirm it latches securely. Restore power and run a short cycle to verify the door stays closed and the dryer operates normally. Tools needed: None in most cases; a small flat-head screwdriver may help with removal. Frequently Asked Questions What dryers is the 12138200000320 compatible with? The 12138200000320 door catch is used on select Midea and Insignia dryer models. Insignia is a Best Buy house brand whose appliances are manufactured by Midea. Always verify your exact model number before ordering to confirm this catch fits your dryer's door latch assembly. Why won't my dryer start even though I'm closing the door? If the door catch is broken or worn, the door may not be engaging the door switch firmly enough to signal the control board that the door is closed. Most dryers will not run unless the door switch is fully activated. Replacing the 12138200000320 catch restores the firm snap needed to trigger the switch. If replacing the catch does not resolve the start issue, the door switch itself may also need to be checked. Do I need to replace the door strike as well? Not necessarily. In most cases only the door catch (the spring-clip on the door) needs replacement. The door strike (the post or tab on the cabinet that the catch snaps onto) is typically more durable. Inspect the strike for cracks or breakage before ordering — if it is intact, just the 12138200000320 catch is all you need. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Midea OEM part, but is manufactured from durable plastic to match the dimensions and function of the original 12138200000320 door catch.

Wear work gloves. This repair is best approached from the top down: remove the top of the unit first, which gives more room to get the dryer tub out. Remove the two screws from the vented plate on the back of the machine to access and undo the old belt. Since this is a stackable washer/dryer combo, also remove the white plate on the front between the washer and dryer sections for full access. Locate the old belt connecting the motor pulley to the drum and remove it. Fit the new 137292700 belt around the drum and motor pulley in the same path as the old one, making sure it seats correctly and is properly tensioned. Reassemble the front plate, vented back plate, and top of the unit. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm the drum tumbles smoothly with no banging or unusual noise. Tools needed: putty knife, screwdriver set, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions The motor is running but the drum won't turn. Is this the belt I need? Yes, this is the classic and most reliable sign of a broken drum belt. If you can hear the motor running normally but the drum itself stays still, the belt has likely dried out and broken, no longer connecting the motor's rotation to the drum. Is this the same as a standalone Frigidaire dryer belt? No, this belt is specifically sized and profiled for Frigidaire-style stacked laundry center units, where the washer and dryer are combined into one appliance. It's a different part from standalone Frigidaire dryer belts used on separate dryers. Confirm your unit type and model number before ordering. Is this a difficult repair? It's a moderate repair since it involves removing the top of the laundry center unit, the vented back plate, and the front plate between the washer and dryer sections to get full access to the belt. One customer described working from the top down as the easiest approach, since it gives more room to remove the dryer tub. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Frigidaire to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original length, width, and rib pattern of the multi-rib drum belt originally installed in your laundry center.
