Dryer Fuses, Thermostats, Heaters & Igniters

XPARTCO 8318314 Dryer Thermal Cutoff Fuse (352°F) The XPARTCO 8318314 is an aftermarket replacement 352°F thermal cutoff fuse compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Kenmore, Amana, Crosley, Roper, Inglis, and Estate dryers. The thermal cutoff fuse is a critical safety device mounted near the heating element housing — it acts as a backup safety in case the high-limit thermostat fails to open. When the air temperature inside the heating element area reaches 352°F, the fuse permanently opens and cuts power to the heater circuit, preventing the dryer from continuing to overheat and creating a fire risk. This is a one-time fuse — once it has tripped, it cannot be reset and must be replaced. White and gray metal/ceramic construction. Dimensions: 1-1/4"L x 1-1/4"W x 2-3/16"H, with approximately 1-5/8" between mounting holes (center to center). It directly replaces 8318314. Important: when the thermal cutoff blows, the high-limit thermostat (8557403 — sold separately) is often also stressed and should be tested or replaced at the same time. Installs in 15–20 minutes with basic hand tools. Quick Answer The XPARTCO 8318314 Dryer Thermal Cutoff Fuse (352°F) fixes Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Kenmore, Amana, Crosley, Roper, Inglis, and Estate dryers that suddenly stopped heating after an overheat event. One-time fuse — 352°F open, must be replaced once blown. 1-1/4"L x 1-1/4"W x 2-3/16"H, ~1-5/8" between mounting holes. Metal/ceramic. Often replaced alongside the high-limit thermostat (8557403, sold separately). Common Problems This Part Fixes Dryer suddenly stopped heating with no warning — thermal cutoff has blown after an overheat event Dryer runs and tumbles normally but produces no heat No-heat fault following a partially blocked exhaust vent or restricted airflow event Multimeter continuity test shows the cutoff has an open circuit (no continuity) Visible damage or discoloration around the thermal cutoff housing from a prior overheat event Repeated no-heat problems where the thermal cutoff has tripped more than once Replaces Part Numbers This thermal cutoff fuse directly replaces the following OEM and cross-reference part numbers: 8318314 If your part number is not listed above, contact our support team before ordering and we will verify compatibility. Compatibility This 352°F thermal cutoff fuse is compatible with select dryers from the following brands: Whirlpool dryers (Elite, Cabrio, Duet, and WED series — select models including WED9200, WED7300, WED7400, WED7600 and related) Maytag dryers (Maxima and MED series — select models including MED3500, MED6000XW, MEDE900VW and related) KitchenAid dryers (select models) Kenmore / Sears dryers — Elite 110-series and related Whirlpool-built models Amana dryers — NED and YNED series (select models including NED7500VW1 and related) Crosley dryers (CED series and related models) Roper dryers (select models) Inglis dryers (select models) Estate dryers (select models) Important — Check Vent Before Restarting: A blown thermal cutoff is almost always the result of restricted dryer airflow. Before replacing this fuse and restoring service, thoroughly clean the dryer's exhaust vent line all the way to the exterior wall outlet, the lint screen, and any internal lint buildup. Installing a new thermal cutoff without fixing the underlying airflow problem will cause the new fuse to blow within a short time, repeating the failure. Key Features 352°F one-time safety fuse — permanently opens to cut power to the heater circuit if the dryer overheats Backup safety device — protects against overheating in case the high-limit thermostat fails to open Cannot be reset — must be replaced once blown Dimensions: 1-1/4"L x 1-1/4"W x 2-3/16"H; approximately 1-5/8" between mounting holes (center to center) Metal and ceramic construction in white/gray Often replaced together with the high-limit thermostat (8557403, sold separately) as a paired safety repair Compatible with Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Kenmore, Amana, Crosley, Roper, Inglis, and Estate dryers Aftermarket replacement built to OEM-equivalent quality standards Quick DIY repair — installs in 15–20 minutes with basic hand tools Product Specifications Part Number 8318314 Part Type Dryer Thermal Cutoff Fuse (Safety Fuse) Condition Aftermarket Replacement Application Electric and Gas Dryers (Whirlpool platform) Trip Temperature 352°F Fuse Type One-Time (must be replaced once blown — cannot be reset) Dimensions 1-1/4"L x 1-1/4"W x 2-3/16"H Mounting Hole Spacing Approx. 1-5/8" center to center Color White / Gray Material Metal / Ceramic Often Replaced With High-Limit Thermostat (8557403, sold separately) Compatible Brands Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Kenmore, Amana, Crosley, Roper, Inglis, Estate Installation Notes ⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Clean Vent System First Disconnect power before beginning. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Before installing the new thermal cutoff, thoroughly clean the dryer's vent line — from the lint screen through the duct to the exterior wall outlet, plus any internal lint buildup around the heater housing. A blown thermal cutoff is virtually always caused by restricted airflow; if you don't fix the underlying cause, the new fuse will trip again soon. Access the thermal cutoff by removing the rear (or front, depending on model) access panel of the dryer to expose the heating element housing. The 8318314 thermal cutoff is mounted on or near the heater housing. Photograph the wire connections before disconnecting. Disconnect the wires from the old cutoff and remove the mounting screw(s). Install the new 8318314 cutoff in the same position and reconnect the wires. While the panel is open, this is also the ideal time to test or replace the high-limit thermostat (8557403) — overheat events that blow this fuse often damage that component too. Reassemble the panel, restore power, and run a test heat cycle to confirm normal heat operation. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, multimeter, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions What's the difference between a thermal cutoff, a thermal fuse, and a high-limit thermostat? All three are safety components in a dryer's heating circuit but they serve different roles. The high-limit thermostat (such as 8557403 or 3391914) is a resettable safety switch — it opens when the air gets too hot, then closes again automatically once it cools. The thermal cutoff (8318314, 352°F) is a one-time fuse on the heating element circuit — it blows permanently if the temperature exceeds 352°F, meaning the high-limit thermostat failed to do its job. The thermal fuse (often 3392519) is a separate one-time fuse mounted on the exhaust duct — it blows if exhaust airflow temperature exceeds its rating. Each protects against a different failure mode and is replaced individually when it blows. Why did my thermal cutoff blow in the first place? A blown thermal cutoff is almost always the result of restricted airflow through the dryer. The most common causes are: a clogged or kinked exhaust vent line, a clogged lint screen, lint buildup inside the dryer cabinet near the heater housing, or a failed blower wheel/motor that's not moving enough air. Less commonly, a failed high-limit thermostat (stuck closed) can let the dryer overheat until the thermal cutoff blows as a last-resort safety. Before replacing this part, identify and fix the underlying airflow issue — otherwise the new fuse will blow within a short time. Should I replace the high-limit thermostat at the same time? Yes, it's highly recommended. The thermal cutoff is the second line of defense against overheating — for it to trip, the high-limit thermostat ahead of it likely failed to open at its normal cycling temperature, was stressed by the overheat event, or was already weakened. Replacing the high-limit thermostat (8557403 on many compatible Whirlpool-platform dryers) at the same time is standard practice and ensures both safety components work correctly together. The 279973 kit even bundles a thermal cutoff with a high-limit thermostat for this reason. Can the thermal cutoff be reset like a circuit breaker? No — the 8318314 is a one-time thermal fuse. Once it opens at 352°F, it permanently breaks the electrical circuit and cannot be reset. Some appliance components (like a high-limit thermostat) can reset automatically as they cool, but a thermal cutoff fuse is a single-use safety device by design. If your dryer suddenly stopped heating and a continuity test on this fuse shows an open circuit, it must be replaced. 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 metal and ceramic with the same 352°F trip temperature, dimensions (1-1/4"L x 1-1/4"W x 2-3/16"H), and mounting hole spacing (1-5/8" center to center) as the original 8318314 thermal cutoff fuse.

17438200000404 Genuine OEM Midea Dryer Temperature Sensor (Thermistor) The 17438200000404 is a Genuine OEM Midea replacement dryer temperature sensor (thermistor) compatible with an extensive range of Midea, Criterion, and Insignia electric and gas dryers. This NTC (negative temperature coefficient) thermistor continuously monitors air temperature inside the dryer and sends resistance-based readings to the control board, which uses this data to regulate heating element cycling, prevent overheating, and maintain consistent drying temperatures throughout the cycle. As the thermistor heats up, its electrical resistance decreases in a predictable way, allowing the control board to calculate the exact temperature in real time. When this sensor fails — whether shorted, open, or providing drifted/inaccurate readings — the dryer may overheat, may not heat at all, may dry clothes unevenly, may take much longer than normal to complete a cycle, or may trigger a not-heating fault on models with digital displays. As a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Midea to factory specifications, the 17438200000404 directly replaces WF-123X2060 (an alternate catalog cross-reference used by some suppliers, including for compatible Maytag-branded Midea-built units). Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools. Quick Answer The 17438200000404 Genuine OEM Midea Dryer Temperature Sensor (Thermistor) fixes Midea, Criterion, and Insignia dryers that are overheating, not heating, drying unevenly, or taking too long to dry.

Midea dryers typically have 2–3 temperature sensors: an exhaust thermistor on the blower housing or exhaust duct, a drum thermistor inside the drum cavity, and on heat pump models, an evaporator thermistor — confirm which sensor location matches your symptom and part diagram before starting. Access the sensors by removing the back panel on vented models, or the side/bottom panels on heat pump models. Photograph the connector position before disconnecting. Unplug the old sensor's connector and inspect it for corrosion or heat discoloration on the wires — discoloration indicates prior overheating in that area. Remove the mounting clip or screw securing the old sensor and pull it free. Install the new 17438200000404 sensor in the same position, reseat the connector firmly, and secure the mounting hardware. Reassemble the panel, restore power, and run a test heat cycle to confirm normal temperature regulation. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, multimeter (for testing). Frequently Asked Questions How do I test if the temperature sensor (thermistor) has failed? Unplug the dryer, disconnect the sensor's connector, and set your multimeter to resistance mode. At room temperature (around 70°F), a working NTC thermistor should read approximately 10,000 to 12,000 ohms. If the sensor reads 0 ohms, it has shorted internally. If it reads infinite resistance (open circuit, often shown as "OL" on the multimeter), the sensor has failed open. Either reading confirms the sensor needs replacement. If you have multiple sensors testing bad at the same time, check the shared ground wire — a broken ground connection can cause all sensors on that circuit to read as open even if the individual sensors are fine. My Midea dryer has more than one temperature sensor — how do I know which one to replace? Midea dryers typically use 2–3 temperature sensors depending on the model: an exhaust thermistor mounted on the blower housing or exhaust duct, a drum thermistor inside the drum cavity, and — on heat pump/ventless models — an evaporator thermistor in the refrigerant circuit area. The 17438200000404 is used across this Midea/Criterion/Insignia platform, but confirming the exact mounting location for your specific symptom (e.g., overheating vs. uneven drying) and model number before ordering will help ensure you're replacing the correct sensor. What is the difference between 17438200000404 and WF-123X2060? These are the same temperature sensor. WF-123X2060 is an alternate catalog cross-reference number used by some parts suppliers for the identical Midea-manufactured thermistor — it appears in listings for compatible Maytag-branded Midea-built units as well as the standard Midea, Criterion, and Insignia models. If your dryer's parts diagram shows either number, the 17438200000404 is the correct part. Does this sensor fit my Insignia or Criterion dryer? Yes — Insignia (Best Buy) and Criterion (Sears/Kmart) are house brands whose dryers in this size and configuration are manufactured by Midea and use the same internal components, including this temperature sensor. Confirmed compatible models include Insignia NSDRE67WH8A, NSFDRE67WH8A, NSFDRE77WH8B, NSTDRE67W1, NSTDRE75W1 (electric) and NSFDRG67WH8A, NSTDRG67W1, NSTDRG75W1 (gas), as well as Criterion CDE41N1AW (electric) and CDG41N1AW (gas). Always verify your specific model number before ordering. Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part? This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Midea to factory specifications. It is the exact same NTC thermistor temperature sensor installed in compatible Midea, Criterion, and Insignia dryers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

Pull the dryer away from the wall and remove the rear service panel to expose the heating element housing. Take a photo of the wiring before disconnecting anything — this is important since the high-limit thermostat and thermal cut-off wiring are both in the same area as the element leads and it's easy to mix up terminals. Disconnect the high-limit thermostat/thermal cut-off wiring and the element leads from the old heating element assembly. Remove the mounting screws securing the element housing and slide the old assembly out. Install the new 17438200000109 assembly in the same orientation, reconnect all wires snugly to the correct terminals as documented in your photo, and reinstall the mounting screws. Reassemble the rear service panel, restore power, and run a test heat cycle to confirm the dryer is heating properly. Tip: while the rear panel is open, inspect the high-limit thermostat (Midea 17400513000460) — if the original element failed due to overheating, the thermostat may also need replacement. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver. Frequently Asked Questions How do I know if my dryer's heating element has failed? The clearest sign is a dryer that tumbles and runs through a complete cycle normally but produces little or no heat, leaving clothes damp or only partially dried. You may also notice the dryer taking significantly longer than usual to dry a load as it tries to compensate with extended tumbling time. Visually inspecting the element after removing the rear panel can reveal burn marks, breaks in the coil, or visible arcing damage. A multimeter continuity test on the disconnected element will also confirm failure — a working element shows continuity, while a failed element reads an open circuit. Should I replace the thermostat at the same time as the heating element? It's a good idea to inspect it. When a heating element fails due to overheating — rather than simple end-of-life wear — the paired high-limit thermostat (Midea 17400513000460) located in the same area can also be stressed by the same heat event. Since the rear panel must already be open to replace the element, checking the thermostat's continuity at the same time is a quick step that can prevent a repeat repair if the thermostat is also on the verge of failing. What is the difference between 17438200000109 and 302461060002? These are the same heating element assembly. 302461060002 and MDA17438200000109 are alternate catalog reference numbers used by some parts suppliers for the identical Midea heater assembly. If your dryer's parts diagram or supplier listing shows either of these numbers, the 17438200000109 is the correct part and this listing covers all three references. Does this element fit my Insignia dryer? Yes — Insignia is a Best Buy house brand, and several Insignia electric dryer models (including the NS-FDRE67WH8A-C and NS-TDRE67W1) are manufactured by Midea and use the same internal components, including this heating element assembly. Always verify your specific Insignia model number before ordering to confirm compatibility. Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part? This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Midea to factory specifications. It is the exact same heating element assembly installed in compatible Midea and Insignia electric dryers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

XPARTCO 17438200000160 Gas Dryer Flame Switch The XPARTCO 17438200000160 is an aftermarket replacement gas dryer flame switch compatible with select Midea, Insignia gas dryers, including the MLG45N1BWW, MLG45N3BMG, MLG45N3BWW, MLG52S7AWW, CDG41N1AW/CDG45N1AW series, NSDRE67WH8A, NSFDRG67WH8A, NSDRE67WH8AC, NSTDRG75W1. The flame switch is a safety component mounted on the burner assembly that confirms a flame is actually present after the gas valve opens and the igniter lights the burner. If the switch does not detect a flame within the expected window, it signals the control board to shut off the gas valve, preventing unburned gas from continuing to flow into the dryer cabinet. When the flame switch fails, the dryer may not heat at all, may shut off the burner shortly after ignition (short-cycling the flame), may trip a no-heat fault code on models with digital displays, or — in rarer failure modes — may fail to shut off gas flow appropriately, which is a safety-relevant failure. It directly replaces 17438200000160 (Midea OEM). Installs in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools. Quick Answer The XPARTCO 17438200000160 Gas Dryer Flame Switch fixes Midea gas dryers that won't heat, where the burner lights and then shuts off shortly after ignition, or where a no-heat fault is displayed.

Always unplug the dryer and shut off the gas supply at the shutoff valve before beginning any repair. If you smell gas at any point during or after installation, leave the area immediately and contact your gas utility provider. Do not restore power or gas until the repair is fully complete and all connections are confirmed secure. If you are not comfortable working on gas appliances or safety-relevant flame-detection components, have this part installed by a qualified technician. ⚠️ Wear Work Gloves — Access Requires Cabinet Disassembly Disconnect power and shut off gas before beginning. Wear work gloves throughout — there are sharp metal edges inside the dryer cabinet. Remove the lint filter and the screws securing the lint filter housing. Release the top panel locking clips with a putty knife and lift the top panel. Disconnect the door switch harness and remove the front panel to access the drum and burner assembly. Locate the flame switch mounted on the burner assembly — it is positioned to detect the flame produced once the igniter lights the gas. Photograph the wire connections before disconnecting. Disconnect the wires from the old flame switch, remove the mounting screw, and pull the switch free. Install the new 17438200000160 flame switch in the same position, secure the mounting screw, and reconnect the wires. Reassemble the front panel, drum, and top panel in reverse order. Restore gas and power, and run a test heat cycle to confirm the burner ignites and stays lit normally. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions What does the flame switch do, and how is it different from an igniter? The igniter is the component that heats up and ignites the gas at the burner. The flame switch is a separate safety component that confirms a flame is actually present after the igniter has done its job and the gas valve has opened. If the flame switch does not detect the expected flame condition, it signals the control system to close the gas valve, stopping gas flow. This two-part system — ignition plus flame confirmation — is a standard safety design in gas dryers and gas appliances generally, ensuring gas does not continue flowing if combustion isn't actually occurring. My burner lights and then shuts off after a few seconds — is this the flame switch? Yes, this is a common symptom of a failing flame switch. If the switch is not reliably maintaining its "flame detected" signal to the control board even though the burner is genuinely lit, the system may interpret this as a flame failure and shut the gas valve as a safety precaution — causing the burner to repeatedly light and then extinguish. This short-cycling pattern during what should be a continuous heat cycle is a strong indicator that the flame switch needs replacement. Why is this called a "flame switch" rather than a "flame sensor"? Different manufacturers use different terminology for similar flame-detection safety components. On Whirlpool-family gas dryers, this type of part is typically called a "flame sensor" — a bimetal-style sensor near the igniter that closes a circuit when it senses sufficient heat. Midea's parts catalog labels this specific component the "flame switch," and it serves an analogous safety role within the Midea gas burner system: confirming the presence of a flame after ignition. The terminology differs by manufacturer, but the safety function is similar in concept. Why does this repair require opening the whole dryer cabinet? On Midea gas dryers, the flame switch is mounted directly on the burner assembly inside the dryer cabinet, which is only accessible after removing the lint filter housing, releasing the top panel, and removing the front panel. This is a more involved repair than swapping an externally accessible part, but it follows the same general gas dryer disassembly procedure used for replacing igniters, thermal fuses, and other burner-area components. Since the cabinet must be opened, it can be a good opportunity to inspect other burner components (igniter, gas valve coils) for wear at the same time. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is manufactured to match the dimensions, mounting configuration, and function of the original 17438200000160 Midea flame switch.
