XPARTCO 338906 Gas Dryer Flame Sensor Replaces WP338906
The XPARTCO 338906 is an aftermarket replacement gas dryer flame sensor compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool-family gas dryers including Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Admiral, Roper, Inglis, Crosley, Estate, Caloric, Magic Chef, Norge, and Speed Queen. The flame sensor is a radiant sensor located in the burner assembly directly across from the gas igniter. It monitors heat output from the igniter and signals the gas valve to open once the igniter reaches ignition temperature. This is a critical safety mechanism — the gas valve will not open until the sensor confirms the igniter is hot enough to light the gas, preventing dangerous unburned gas buildup inside the dryer.
When the flame sensor fails, the igniter may glow but the gas valve will never open — resulting in a dryer that tumbles but produces no heat. The sensor should show closed continuity (near-zero resistance) at room temperature when tested with a multimeter — an open reading confirms the sensor has failed. This part directly replaces WP338906 and a large number of older cross-reference numbers including DC32-00008A, Y303377, 14205529, and 3-3377. Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 338906 Gas Dryer Flame Sensor fixes gas dryers that tumble but produce no heat, where the igniter glows but the burner never lights. Located in the burner assembly across from the igniter. Should show closed continuity at room temperature — test with a multimeter before replacing. Compatible with Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, and many more. Replaces WP338906, DC32-00008A, Y303377, 14205529, and more.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Gas Appliance Safety Warning This part is used in gas dryers. 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. If you are not comfortable working on gas appliances, have this part installed by a qualified appliance technician.
⚠️ Test Before Replacing — Verify the Sensor Has Failed Before replacing the flame sensor, test it with a multimeter. Set the multimeter to the continuity or resistance setting, disconnect the sensor from the wiring harness, and probe both terminals. A working sensor reads near-zero resistance (closed) at room temperature. An open circuit (infinite resistance) confirms the sensor has failed. If the sensor tests good, check the igniter, gas valve coils (279834), and thermal fuse before replacing this part. To install: unplug the dryer and shut off the gas. Remove the top panel and front panel to access the burner assembly. The flame sensor is a small bracket-mounted component located directly across from the igniter. Disconnect the sensor leads, unscrew the mounting screw, and install the new 338906 sensor in the same orientation. Reconnect the leads, reassemble the panels, restore gas and power, and run a test cycle to confirm heat. Tip: While the burner assembly is accessible, inspect and replace the gas valve coils (279834) and igniter (279311) if worn. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, multimeter.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the dryer flame sensor do?
The flame sensor is a radiant sensor located in the burner assembly across from the igniter. It monitors the heat being generated by the igniter and sends a signal to open the gas valve once the igniter is hot enough to safely ignite the gas. This is a critical safety mechanism — if the sensor does not confirm that the igniter is at ignition temperature, the gas valve will remain closed, preventing unburned gas from building up inside the dryer. A failed sensor means the gas valve never opens, so the igniter glows but the burner never fires.
How do I test the 338906 flame sensor with a multimeter?
Unplug the dryer and disconnect the flame sensor from the wiring harness. Set your multimeter to the continuity or ohms setting and probe both sensor terminals. At room temperature, a working 338906 flame sensor should show closed continuity — near-zero resistance. If your multimeter reads OL (open loop) or infinite resistance, the sensor has failed and needs to be replaced. Note: heat exposure can temporarily change the sensor reading, so always test at room temperature.
My igniter glows but the burner never lights — is the flame sensor the cause?
It often is. When the igniter glows repeatedly but the burner never fires, the most common causes are a failed flame sensor, failed gas valve coils (279834), or — less commonly — a failed gas valve. The flame sensor is the first part to test because it is inexpensive and easy to access. If the sensor tests open (no continuity), replace it. If it tests good, test the gas valve coils next. The igniter itself is less likely to be the cause if it is visibly glowing, but it can also weaken over time.
Should I also replace the gas valve coils and igniter at the same time?
It is highly recommended — especially if your dryer is older. The flame sensor, gas valve coils (279834), and igniter (279311) all work together in the burner system and wear at similar rates. Since the dryer is already disassembled, replacing all three together in a single repair (often sold as a gas dryer repair kit) is more cost-effective than replacing them one at a time over successive repair sessions.
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 to match the specifications and performance of the original WP338906 flame sensor.

EXP651 Dryer Belt and Idler Pulley Kit Replaces WPW10112954, W10837240
The EXP651 is an aftermarket dryer repair kit containing two essential drum drive components for select Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Crosley, Admiral, Inglis, and Roper dryers. The kit includes one drum belt (replaces WPW10112954) and one idler pulley assembly with bracket (replaces W10837240) — the two parts most commonly worn together when a dryer drum stops spinning or becomes noisy.
Replacing both the belt and idler pulley at the same time is the smart repair choice. Since the dryer must be disassembled to access either part, doing both in one repair saves you from having to take the machine apart again if the second part fails shortly after.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Safety First — Unplug Dryer Before Starting Unplug the dryer from the power source (and shut off the gas supply for gas dryers) before beginning any repair. Remove the lint screen, then 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 belt tension at the old idler pulley, lift the drum slightly, and slide the old belt off. Remove the old idler arm assembly by unscrewing the mounting screw, then install the new W10837240 idler pulley assembly and secure with the screw. Loop the new WPW10112954 belt around the drum with the ribbed side facing inward, then route it around the new idler pulley and motor pulley. Consult your model's service manual or a model-specific repair video for the correct belt path. Reassemble and run a test cycle. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife or flat pry tool.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I replace the belt and idler pulley at the same time?
The belt and idler pulley wear together — when one fails, the other is usually close behind. Since the dryer must be fully disassembled to access either part, replacing both in a single repair saves you from having to take the machine apart again soon after. It also protects the new belt from being damaged by a worn pulley, and vice versa.
How does the W10837240 differ from other Whirlpool idler pulleys?
The W10837240 is the updated idler pulley arm and bracket assembly designed for Whirlpool-family dryers that have the lint screen inside the door. It replaces the older W10547287 and W10547290 assemblies. Some older or different Whirlpool models use a different idler pulley style — if you're unsure which one your dryer needs, contact our support team with your model number before ordering.
What is the difference between WPW10112954 and W10112954?
These are the same belt. WPW10112954 is the updated Whirlpool OEM part number that superseded the original W10112954. Both refer to the identical drum belt included in this kit.
Should I also replace the drum rollers at the same time?
It depends on the condition of your rollers. Since the dryer is already fully disassembled, it is a good opportunity to inspect the drum support rollers for flat spots, cracks, or wobbling. If they show any wear, replacing them at the same time is recommended to avoid a third disassembly. Check your model's roller part number before ordering.
Are these OEM or aftermarket parts?
Both parts in this kit are aftermarket replacements built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. They are not genuine Whirlpool OEM parts, but are manufactured to match the dimensions and performance of the original WPW10112954 belt and W10837240 idler pulley assembly.

XPARTCO 279393 Dryer Terminal Block Screw Kit
The XPARTCO 279393 is an aftermarket replacement terminal block screw kit compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool-family electric dryers including Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Roper, Admiral, Estate, Crosley, Inglis, Magic Chef, and Norge. The terminal block screws secure the dryer power cord wires to the terminal block — the connection point where 240V power enters the dryer. Loose, corroded, or damaged screws at this connection can cause intermittent power loss, blown fuses, tripped breakers, or dangerous arcing.
This kit includes 3 chrome-plated screws and 3 nuts — everything needed to restore a secure, conductive connection at the terminal block. The chrome plating improves electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance. Screws measure 7/16" L x 7/16" W x 11/16" H; nuts measure 1/2" L x 1/2" W x 1/8" H. Installs in under 15 minutes with basic hand tools.

⚠️ Electrical Safety Warning This kit connects the power cord to the dryer's terminal block — a high-voltage connection carrying 240V. Always unplug the dryer and shut off the circuit breaker before beginning installation. Loose or improperly tightened terminal screws can cause arcing, overheating, blown fuses, or fire. If you are not comfortable working with high-voltage electrical connections, have this part installed by a qualified appliance technician.
Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug and Switch Off Breaker Before Starting Unplug the dryer from the wall outlet and turn off the circuit breaker for the dryer before beginning any work on the terminal block. Locate the terminal block cover plate on the back of the dryer and remove it by unscrewing the retaining screw. Use needle-nose pliers to carefully disconnect the power cord wires from the terminal block. Remove the old screws and nuts using a Phillips or flat-head screwdriver. Install the new 279393 screws and nuts into the terminal block. Reconnect the power cord wires to the correct terminals — refer to the label inside the terminal block cover or your dryer's wiring diagram to confirm wire positions. Tighten all screws firmly but do not overtighten. Replace the terminal block cover plate. Restore power and run a test cycle to verify correct operation. Tip: While the cover is off, inspect the terminal block itself (part 694431) for burn marks or damage. If the block is damaged, replace it before reinstalling. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, flat-head screwdriver, needle-nose pliers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the terminal block screw kit used for?
The terminal block screw kit secures the three wires of the dryer's power cord (two hots and a neutral, or two hots and a ground depending on cord type) to the terminal block at the back of the dryer. This is the point where 240V power enters the machine. The screws must be firmly tightened to maintain a safe, low-resistance electrical connection. If they loosen or corrode over time, resistance increases at the connection — causing heat, arcing, blown fuses, or power loss.
Can I also use this kit when installing a new dryer power cord?
Yes — this kit is commonly needed when installing a new 3-wire or 4-wire dryer power cord. When switching from a 3-wire to 4-wire cord (or vice versa), the terminal block screws and nuts often need to be loosened and retightened, and replacing them with a fresh set ensures a secure, corrosion-free connection from the start.
Should I also inspect the terminal block itself?
Yes. While the terminal block cover is off, inspect the block itself (part 694431) for burn marks, melted plastic, or damaged terminals. If the block shows any of these signs, it should be replaced before reinstalling — new screws alone cannot fix a damaged terminal block. Contact our support team to find the correct terminal block for your model.
Does this kit work for gas dryers?
No. Gas dryers use a standard 120V three-prong household plug and do not have a terminal block for power cord connections. The 279393 kit is for electric dryers only, which use a 240V outlet and require a hard-wired terminal block connection for the power cord.
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 made from chrome-plated metal to match the dimensions and electrical performance of the original 279393 screw kit.
