Genuine OEM WP3387134 Dryer Cycling Thermostat The Genuine OEM Whirlpool WP3387134 is a dryer cycling thermostat, the operating thermostat that controls drying temperature. It switches the heating element off when the dryer reaches its set temperature and back on after it cools, keeping the inside of the dryer at a steady temperature throughout the cycle. This one is rated L155-25: it cuts out at approximately 155°F and cycles back on once the temperature drops about 25°F. When a cycling thermostat fails, the dryer may stop heating, run too hot, or keep heating after the drum has stopped. This is the original Whirlpool part, and it fits a wide range of Whirlpool-built dryers sold under the Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Roper, Crosley, Estate, Amana, and other brand names. Quick Answer The Genuine OEM WP3387134 Cycling Thermostat fixes a Whirlpool-built dryer that isn't heating, runs too hot, or has inconsistent drying temperatures. Rated L155-25, it cycles the heating element off at about 155°F and back on after a 25°F drop. Classic symptom: clothes come out damp or the dryer runs excessively hot, with no sign of a clogged vent. Common Problems This Part Fixes Dryer not heating Dryer running too hot Inconsistent drying temperatures Heat staying on after the drum has stopped Dryer won't start or the timer doesn't advance, if the thermostat has failed 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 For your convenience, we've included any known superseded, alternate, or cross-reference part numbers that match this item.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 cycling thermostat directly replaces the following part numbers: WP3387134, 3387134, 2011, 2893, 3-6910, 306910, 3387135, 3387139, ET187,  EAP11741405, WP3387134VP, AP6008270, AWP47432, EAP11741405, PD00002313, PS11741405, L155-25F These numbers span several generations of Whirlpool's own part numbering for this thermostat as model lines were updated. All are the correct replacement regardless of which number appears on your dryer's parts diagram. Compatibility This thermostat fits a wide range of Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Roper, Crosley, Estate, Amana and related dryers, including these examples: Kenmore 11060012000, 11060012001, 11060022010, 11060172000, 11060232000, 11060602990 Numerous additional Whirlpool-built dryer models Note: This is the cycling (operating) thermostat, not the high limit thermostat or the thermal fuse, which are separate safety parts. The models above are a sample, not a full list. Confirm your model number against your dryer's parts diagram, or contact our support team to verify fit before ordering. Key Features Genuine OEM Whirlpool cycling thermostat Rated L155-25: cuts out at about 155°F and cycles back on after a 25°F drop Keeps dryer temperature steady by cycling the heating element on and off Resolves no-heat, overheating, and inconsistent-temperature symptoms Fits Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, and other Whirlpool-built dryers Medium-difficulty repair with basic hand tools Product Specifications Part Number WP3387134 OEM Part Number WP3387134 Part Type Dryer Cycling Thermostat Condition Genuine OEM Temperature Rating L155-25 (Cuts Out ~155°F, 25°F Differential) Application Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid & Related Dryers Installation Notes ⚠️ Unplug Power Before Installing Unplug the dryer or switch off its circuit breaker before beginning, and shut off the gas supply first on gas models. Wear work gloves, as the cabinet edges are sharp. Remove the panel that gives access to the heater housing per your model's service guide, note the wire terminal positions, and disconnect them from the old thermostat. Remove the thermostat, install the new one in the same position, and reconnect the wires. A screwdriver and needle-nose pliers are typically all you need. Before closing the dryer, clean the lint trap and check the exhaust vent for restrictions, since poor airflow is a common cause of overheating. Frequently Asked Questions My dryer isn't heating or runs too hot. Is this the part I need? A failed cycling thermostat can cause either symptom. It may stay open and prevent heat, or stay closed and let the dryer overheat. Check for a clogged vent and test the thermostat for continuity before replacing it. What's the difference between the cycling thermostat and the high limit thermostat? The cycling thermostat controls normal drying temperature by switching the heating element on and off. The high limit thermostat and thermal fuse are separate safety devices that cut power if the dryer overheats. This listing is for the cycling thermostat only. How do I test this thermostat? With the dryer unplugged and the wires removed, check for continuity across the terminals with a multimeter at room temperature. A properly working cycling thermostat should show continuity when cool. No continuity means it has failed. Will this fit my dryer? It fits many Whirlpool-built dryers, but the model list above is only a sample. Check your model number against your parts diagram, or contact our support team and we'll verify it before you order.

279570 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer Door Catch Kit The 279570 is a Genuine OEM Whirlpool dryer door catch and strike kit compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool, Kenmore, Roper, Estate, Amana, Crosley, Inglis, KitchenAid, Maytag, and Admiral dryers. The door catch is the spring-clip mechanism on the dryer door that snaps over the door strike to hold the door firmly closed during operation, activating the door switch so the dryer can run. When the catch breaks, wears out, or loses tension, the door will not stay closed, the door switch will not be activated, and the dryer will either not start or will stop mid-cycle. The strike is the corresponding post or tab on the dryer cabinet that the catch engages. This Genuine OEM kit includes three color-coded door catches of different tensions and two metal door strikes, plus one screw. Because the tension of the catch must match the original, Whirlpool includes three options in the kit — each is color-coded and numbered on the back. Refer to identify which catch is correct for your model. The kit directly replaces a very large list of older cross-reference numbers including 279570VP, 3493, 2003, 8208, 279280, 279337, 696144, 693717, AP3094183, PS334230, and dozens more.

Open the dryer door and locate the old door catch on the inside of the door panel and the strike on the dryer cabinet opening. To remove the old catch: press the retaining tabs and pull the catch free from its slot, or unscrew the mounting screw. Install the correct new catch into the same position. To replace the strike: remove the old strike (typically held by a single screw) and install the new strike in the same position. Close the dryer door to confirm it latches firmly with a satisfying click. Restore power and run a short test cycle to confirm the door stays closed and the dryer operates normally. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver; needle-nose pliers may help with catch removal on some models. Frequently Asked Questions Why does the kit include three different catches? Whirlpool used door catches with different spring tensions across its dryer lineup — a lighter catch on some models and a stiffer catch on others. To cover all compatible models in a single kit, Whirlpool includes three catches of different tensions, each color-coded and numbered on the back. It is important to use the correct one — using a catch with too little tension may allow the door to pop open, while a catch with too much tension may make the door difficult to open. Do I need to replace both the catch and the strike, or just one? It depends on which component has failed. The catch (the spring-clip on the door) is the more commonly replaced part — it wears out from repeated use faster than the strike. Inspect both: if the catch is cracked or has lost its spring tension, replace the catch. If the strike is bent, cracked, or missing, replace the strike. Since the kit includes both catches and strikes, you have everything needed for a complete repair. When in doubt, replacing both ensures the full latch system is renewed. My dryer will not start even after replacing the door catch — what else could it be? If the dryer still will not start after the catch is replaced, the door switch may also need to be tested. The door switch is the electrical component that the door catch activates when the door closes — if the switch itself is failed, replacing the catch alone will not restore function. Test the door switch (3406107 for most Whirlpool-family models) with a multimeter for continuity in both the open and closed positions. If the switch reads open in both positions or closed in both positions, it has failed and needs replacement. How is the 279570 different from the W11429587 dryer door catch? The 279570 is the door catch kit for older Whirlpool-family dryers — it includes multiple catches of different tensions and metal strikes because it covers a wide range of older models. The W11429587 is a single snap-in door catch for newer Whirlpool-family dryers (Cabrio and newer platform models). If your dryer is a newer model with a snap-in catch slot rather than a screw-mounted catch and strike, you likely need the W11429587. Verify your model number to confirm which part is correct. Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part? This is a Genuine OEM kit manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications. It is the exact same door catch and strike kit supplied by Whirlpool for compatible dryer service repairs — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

XPARTCO XP6974 Dryer Thermostat Kit Replaces WP3387134, WP3392519, W10900067, 279816 The XPARTCO XP6974 is an aftermarket dryer thermostat kit containing four thermal components for Whirlpool-family electric and gas dryers including Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, Roper, Admiral, Estate, Crosley, Inglis, and Magic Chef. The kit includes the cycling thermostat (WP3387134), thermal fuse (WP3392519), high-limit thermostat and thermal cut-off kit (279816 / W10900067) — the complete set of heat-sensing and safety components that regulate dryer temperature and prevent dangerous overheating. These four components work together to control and protect the dryer's heating system. When any one of them fails, the dryer may produce no heat, overheat, run too long, or stop mid-cycle. Because a failed thermal fuse is almost always caused by an underlying overheating condition that also stresses the other components, replacing all four together in a single repair is the recommended approach. Includes all wiring hardware needed for installation. Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools. Quick Answer The XPARTCO XP6974 Dryer Thermostat Kit fixes Whirlpool-family dryers that produce no heat, overheat, take too long to dry, or stop mid-cycle. Includes all four thermal components: cycling thermostat (L155-25), thermal fuse (196°F), high-limit thermostat (L250-80), and thermal cut-off (309°F). Compatible with Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, Roper, Admiral, Estate, Crosley, Inglis, and Magic Chef electric and gas dryers. Common Problems This Kit Fixes Dryer produces no heat — thermal fuse or high-limit thermostat has blown Dryer takes multiple cycles or very long time to dry clothes Dryer overheats — clothes or drum too hot to touch after a cycle Dryer shuts off mid-cycle and will not restart Dryer tumbles normally but generates no heat at all Dryer runs too long because cycling thermostat is not regulating temperature Repeated thermal fuse failures — underlying thermostat fault causing recurring overheating What's in the Kit Part 1 of 4 WP3387134 Cycling Thermostat Rated L155-25 · Monitors drum air temperature and cycles the heating element on and off to maintain the set drying temperature · Located on the exhaust duct or blower housing · Should show closed continuity at room temperature Part 2 of 4 WP3392519 Thermal Fuse Opens at 196°F (91°C) · One-time safety device located on the exhaust duct · Permanently interrupts power to the heating element if the dryer overheats · Cannot be reset — must be replaced if blown · Most common cause of no-heat in Whirlpool-family dryers Part 3 of 4 High-Limit Thermostat (279816 / W10900067) Rated L250-80 · Mounted on the heating element housing · Opens at approximately 250°F to cut power to the heating element if temperature exceeds safe limits · Resets automatically when it cools · Should show closed continuity at room temperature Part 4 of 4 Thermal Cut-Off Fuse (3977393 / 279816 kit) Opens at 309°F · Backup one-time safety device on the heating element housing · Permanently interrupts power to the heating element if the high-limit thermostat fails to open · Cannot be reset — must be replaced if blown Replaces Part Numbers WP3387134 Cycling Thermostat cross-references: WP3387134, WP3387134VP, 3387134, 3387135, 3387139, 306910, 3-6910, ET187, AP6008270, PS11741405 WP3392519 Thermal Fuse cross-references: WP3392519, WP3392519VP, 3392519, 3388651, 694511, 80005, ET401, G4AP0500, AP6008325, PS11741460 279816 High-Limit Thermostat and Thermal Cut-Off Kit cross-references: 279816, 279816VP, W10900067, 3977393, 3977767, WP3977767, WP3977767VP, 3399848, 3399693, 2651, AP3094244, AH334299, EA334299, EAP334299, PS334299 If your part number is not listed above, contact our support team before ordering and we will verify compatibility.

Clean the full length of the exhaust duct before or after this repair. If the vent is clear, a failed cycling thermostat or high-limit thermostat is likely the root cause. Key Features Complete 4-part thermal kit — covers the cycling thermostat, thermal fuse, high-limit thermostat, and thermal cut-off in a single repair Cycling thermostat (L155-25) — regulates drum temperature to maintain consistent, efficient drying Thermal fuse (196°F) — one-time safety device that permanently interrupts heat if the dryer overheats High-limit thermostat (L250-80, ~250°F) — cuts power to the heating element when temperature exceeds safe limits; auto-resets Thermal cut-off (309°F) — backup one-time safety device protecting against heating element runaway Replacing all four parts together ensures the complete thermal circuit is renewed — prevents recurrence if a failing thermostat caused the fuse to blow Includes all wiring hardware for installation Compatible with 11 major appliance brands on the Whirlpool platform Aftermarket replacement built to OEM-equivalent quality standards DIY repair — installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools Product Specifications Kit Part Number XP6974 Condition Aftermarket Replacement Application Gas and Electric Dryers Kit Includes 1x WP3387134 Cycling Thermostat, 1x WP3392519 Thermal Fuse, 1x High-Limit Thermostat (L250-80), 1x Thermal Cut-Off Fuse (309°F), wiring hardware Cycling Thermostat Rating L155-25 (closes at 155°F, opens at 25°F differential) Thermal Fuse Trip Temp 196°F (91°C) — one-time, non-resettable High-Limit Thermostat Rating L250-80 (opens at ~250°F) — auto-resets Thermal Cut-Off Trip Temp 309°F — one-time, non-resettable Compatible Brands Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, Roper, Admiral, Estate, Crosley, Inglis, Magic Chef Installation Notes ⚠️ Unplug Dryer and Shut Off Gas Before Starting Disconnect power (and shut off gas for gas dryers) before beginning. Remove the back panel of the dryer to access the heating element housing and exhaust duct. The thermal fuse (WP3392519) and cycling thermostat (WP3387134) are located on the exhaust duct or blower housing — disconnect the wires, unscrew the mounting screws, and install the new parts in the same positions. The high-limit thermostat and thermal cut-off (279816 kit) are located on the heating element housing — disconnect the wires and unscrew the mounting screws to remove the old parts and install the new ones. Reconnect all wires to the correct terminals — take a photo before disconnecting to reference during reinstallation. Reassemble the back panel, restore power, and run a test cycle to verify heat. Tip: Before running the dryer, also clean the full length of the exhaust duct — a clogged vent is the most common root cause of dryer overheating and repeated thermal fuse failures. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers. Frequently Asked Questions What does each part in this kit do? The cycling thermostat (WP3387134) monitors the air temperature in the exhaust duct and cycles the heating element on and off to maintain the correct drying temperature — it is the part that controls how hot the dryer gets during normal operation. The thermal fuse (WP3392519) is a one-time safety device that permanently cuts power to the heating element if the dryer overheats above 196°F — it is the most common cause of no-heat in Whirlpool-family dryers. The high-limit thermostat opens at approximately 250°F to cut heating element power if temperature gets too high, and resets automatically when it cools. The thermal cut-off is a backup one-time fuse on the heating element that opens at 309°F if the high-limit thermostat fails to protect the heater. Why should I replace all four parts instead of just the one that failed? When a thermal fuse blows, it almost always blew because the dryer overheated — and that overheating event put significant stress on all the other thermal components as well. A failing cycling thermostat is the most common cause of repeated thermal fuse failures: if the cycling thermostat stops regulating temperature correctly, the dryer runs too hot, the high-limit thermostat is repeatedly stressed, and the thermal fuse eventually blows. Replacing just the fuse without replacing the cycling thermostat means the same overheating will blow the new fuse. Replacing all four parts at once eliminates that risk in a single repair. How do I test these parts with a multimeter? Set the multimeter to continuity or resistance mode. The thermal fuse (WP3392519), cycling thermostat (WP3387134), and high-limit thermostat should all show closed continuity (near-zero resistance) at room temperature. The thermal cut-off should also show closed continuity at room temperature. Any part that reads open (no continuity / infinite resistance) at room temperature has failed and needs to be replaced. A blown thermal fuse or cut-off will always read open — they are one-time devices and cannot reset. What causes the thermal fuse to blow repeatedly? The most common cause by far is a clogged exhaust vent — lint accumulation inside the dryer duct restricts airflow, causing heat to build up inside the dryer cabinet until the thermal fuse trips. Always clean the full length of the exhaust duct before and after replacing these parts. Other causes include a failing cycling thermostat that is not regulating temperature correctly, a stuck heating element relay, or a dryer placed in an enclosed space without adequate ventilation. Is this kit compatible with both electric and gas dryers? Yes — the XP6974 kit is compatible with both electric and gas Whirlpool-family dryers. Both types use the same cycling thermostat (WP3387134) and thermal fuse (WP3392519). The high-limit thermostat and thermal cut-off (279816 kit) are located on the heating element in electric models and on the burner assembly area in gas models. Always verify your specific model number before ordering to confirm all four parts apply to your dryer.

279827 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer Drive Motor The 279827 is a Genuine OEM Whirlpool replacement dryer drive motor with pre-attached pulley, compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, Estate, and Kenmore dryers. The drive motor is the component that powers everything that moves in your dryer — it turns the drum belt (which rotates the drum to tumble clothes) and simultaneously drives the blower wheel (which pushes heated air through the drum and out the exhaust vent). When the motor fails, the dryer either won't start, won't tumble, stops mid-cycle, or makes loud humming, buzzing, or grinding noises. This is a dual-shaft motor: the drive shaft (1-3/4" long) connects to the drum belt via the pre-attached pulley, and the blower shaft (1-3/4" long) drives the blower wheel. The pulley is pre-attached and is not available separately — if your old motor's pulley is worn, this replacement includes a new one. As a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications, the 279827 is one of the most widely used dryer motors across the Whirlpool platform, replacing over 70 legacy part numbers spanning decades of production. Key cross-references include W10448892, W10396029, W10194250, 8066206, 3395654, 3398046, 3391888, 3395652, AP3094245, PS334304, and EAP334304. Includes the motor assembly, two 1/8" insulated female terminals, and instructions. Before replacing the motor, check the thermal fuse (electric dryers) and door switch first — a blown fuse or failed switch produces identical no-start symptoms and is a far cheaper fix. Installs in 45–90 minutes with basic hand tools. Quick Answer The 279827 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer Drive Motor fixes Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Roper, Estate, and Kenmore dryers that won't start, won't tumble, stop mid-cycle, or make loud humming/buzzing/grinding noises.

This is one of the most extensively cross-referenced parts in the Whirlpool catalog. If your old motor shows a part number not listed here, contact our support team with your dryer model number and we will verify compatibility. Compatibility This drive motor is compatible with select dryers from the following brands: Whirlpool dryers — electric and gas models across many generations (WED, WGD, LER, LGR, LEQ, LGQ series and many more) Maytag dryers — select Whirlpool-built models (MED, MGD, MEDC, MEDX series) KitchenAid dryers (select models) Jenn-Air dryers (select models) Amana dryers — select models (NED, NGD series) Magic Chef dryers (select models) Admiral dryers (select models) Norge dryers (select models) Roper dryers (select models) Estate dryers (select models) Kenmore / Sears dryers — select Whirlpool-built models (110-series) Important — Before Replacing the Motor: A dryer that won't start can be caused by several components that are far cheaper and easier to replace than the motor. Before ordering, check the thermal fuse (electric dryers — test for continuity with a multimeter), the door switch (test for continuity when pressed), and the start switch. All three produce identical no-start symptoms. Only replace the motor after ruling out these common causes — a motor replacement is a significant repair, and it's far cheaper to replace a $10 thermal fuse than a $150+ motor. Always verify your dryer model number before ordering.

For gas dryers, also shut off the gas supply at the shutoff valve. Wear work gloves and safety glasses. Pull the dryer away from the wall. Remove the lint screen and the screws beneath it. For most Whirlpool-platform dryers, remove the top panel by releasing the spring clips at the front, then detach the front panel by removing the screws at the top corners. Disconnect the door switch wires and set the front panel aside. Support the drum and slide it forward to access the motor at the bottom rear. Remove the drum belt from the motor pulley and idler pulley. Photograph the motor's wiring connections before disconnecting. Disconnect the electrical connections from the motor. Remove the blower wheel from the old motor's blower shaft — this typically requires a clamp or clip removal (the blower wheel threads off counterclockwise on many models). Remove the motor mounting clip/bracket and lift out the old motor. Install the new 279827 motor in the same position. Transfer the blower wheel onto the new motor's blower shaft and secure it. Reinstall the motor mounting clip/bracket. Reconnect the electrical connections using the included insulated female terminals if needed (match your photos). Re-route the drum belt around the drum, through the idler pulley, and onto the motor pulley. Reassemble the front panel, top panel, and lint screen. Restore power (and gas for gas dryers) and run a test cycle — confirm the drum spins smoothly and heated air flows through the drum. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, socket/ratchet set, putty knife (for spring clips), needle-nose pliers, work gloves, safety glasses. Frequently Asked Questions My dryer won't start — is the motor definitely the problem? Not necessarily — and this is important because a motor replacement is a significant repair. A dryer that won't start can be caused by several components that are far cheaper and easier to replace. Before ordering the motor, check these first: 1) Thermal fuse (electric dryers) — a blown thermal fuse is the single most common cause of a no-start condition. Test for continuity with a multimeter; if it reads open, replace the fuse (~$10). 2) Door switch — test for continuity when pressed; if it's failed, the dryer won't start as a safety measure. 3) Start switch — if pressing the start button produces no response at all, the start switch itself may have failed. Only replace the motor after ruling these out. Signs that point specifically to the motor: a loud humming or buzzing when you press start (motor trying but can't turn), grinding or squealing from the motor area, or a motor that runs intermittently and cuts out. Why does the motor hum but the drum doesn't turn? A humming motor that won't turn is a classic sign of a seized or failing motor — the windings are energized (hence the hum) but the shaft can't rotate because the bearings have failed or the motor is mechanically stuck. This can also be caused by the blower wheel being jammed with lint or debris, preventing the shaft from turning — so before condemning the motor, check the blower wheel for obstructions. If the blower wheel spins freely and the motor still hums without turning, the motor has failed and needs replacement. Note: a humming motor that won't start will eventually trip the thermal fuse as a safety measure, so you may need to replace both the motor and the thermal fuse. Why are there so many cross-reference part numbers for this motor? The 279827 is one of the most extensively cross-referenced parts in the Whirlpool catalog because it's been the standard dryer drive motor across the Whirlpool platform for decades — spanning Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Roper, Estate, Kenmore, and many other brands that Whirlpool manufactures for. Over the years, the motor has been assigned different part numbers by different brands, distributors, and catalog systems (W10448892, W10396029, 8066206, 3395654, 3398046, etc.), but they all point to the same motor. If your old motor shows ANY of those numbers, the 279827 is the correct replacement. Does this motor come with the pulley? Yes — the pulley is pre-attached to the motor and is not available separately. The pulley is what the drum belt rides on, transferring the motor's rotation to the drum. If your old motor's pulley was worn or grooved (a common cause of belt slipping and squealing), the new 279827 includes a fresh pulley. You will need to transfer the blower wheel from your old motor to the new one — the blower wheel is not included. Should I replace the belt and idler pulley while changing the motor? It's strongly recommended. When you replace the motor, the dryer is already apart and both the drum belt and idler pulley are right there in your hands. All three components wear from the same friction and heat cycles, and installing a new motor with a worn belt or a seized idler pulley puts unnecessary stress on the new motor from day one. Many technicians replace the belt, idler pulley, and drum support rollers as standard maintenance whenever the dryer is opened for a motor replacement — the combined cost of these parts is modest compared to the labor of disassembling the dryer again later. 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 drive motor with pulley installed in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, Estate, and Kenmore dryers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.
