XPARTCO 3387134 Dryer Cycling Thermostat
The XPARTCO 3387134 is an aftermarket replacement 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 a direct-fit aftermarket replacement for the original Whirlpool WP3387134, 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.

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.

WP4449751 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Oven High Limit Thermostat
The WP4449751 is a Genuine OEM Whirlpool replacement oven high limit thermostat compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore ovens, wall ovens, microwave-oven combinations, and ranges. The high limit thermostat is a critical safety device mounted near the oven cavity — it continuously monitors the oven's temperature and cuts off electrical power to the heating element if the oven exceeds its safe operating temperature. When the oven temperature drops back to normal, the thermostat closes and allows normal operation to resume. This backup safety layer protects against fires, damage to the oven, and unsafe cooking conditions when the main temperature control fails.
Rated to trip at approximately 335°F (170°C). Common causes for the high limit thermostat to trip include a faulty control board, cooling fan failure, blocked ventilation, poor door sealing, disrupted air circulation, or an abnormal self-cleaning cycle. As a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications, the WP4449751 directly replaces 4449751, 1550872, AP6009390, AH2375382, EA2375382, PS2375382, PS11742549, EAP11742549, and AH11742549.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Turn Off Power at Breaker Before Starting — This Is a 240V Oven Circuit — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power at the household breaker before beginning — this is a 240V circuit and there is a serious risk of electrical shock if power is not fully disconnected. Verify power is off with a voltage tester before touching any wiring. Wear work gloves and safety glasses. Allow the oven to cool completely before beginning (several hours after any recent cooking). The high limit thermostat is typically mounted on the rear or side of the oven cavity, accessed by removing the back panel of the appliance (for freestanding ranges) or the front trim/service panel (for wall ovens). The exact location varies by model — consult your appliance's service diagram before starting. Photograph all wire connections and mounting details before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the wire terminals from the old thermostat (typically two spade-terminal wires). Remove the mounting screws or clips holding the thermostat to the oven cavity, and lift it out. Install the new WP4449751 in the exact same position and orientation — the thermostat must be in good thermal contact with the oven cavity to function correctly. Secure the mounting hardware and reconnect the wires to their correct terminals. Reinstall the access panels. Restore power at the breaker and test the oven — start with a low-temperature bake cycle to confirm normal heating operation before running a high-temperature or self-clean cycle. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, voltage tester (essential), work gloves, safety glasses.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did my high limit thermostat trip in the first place?
A high limit thermostat trips because the oven exceeded its safe operating temperature — meaning something upstream in the temperature control chain failed to shut off the heating element when it should have. Common causes are: a failed oven control board (relay stuck closed), a failed cooling fan (allowing the oven cavity or electronics to overheat), blocked or restricted ventilation, poor door sealing (letting the cavity overheat), disrupted air circulation, or an abnormal self-cleaning cycle. Before installing the new thermostat, investigate and address the underlying cause — otherwise the new thermostat will trip again in short order. Also inspect the ventilation, oven door gasket, and cooling fan while you have the appliance open.
What's the difference between a high limit thermostat and the operating thermostat?
These are two different components serving two different roles. The operating thermostat (or the oven control board with its temperature sensor) is the primary component that maintains the oven at your set temperature by cycling the heating element on and off during normal operation — it opens and closes at your selected temperature (e.g., 350°F). The high limit thermostat (WP4449751) is a backup safety device that only trips when the oven temperature far exceeds normal operation (335°F over the cavity's safe threshold), typically because the operating thermostat or control has failed. If the high limit thermostat trips, both need to be checked — the operating thermostat may also need replacement.
Does the high limit thermostat reset itself, or does it need to be replaced after tripping?
The WP4449751 is an auto-reset thermostat — it closes automatically once the oven cools back to a safe temperature, allowing normal operation to resume. If your oven is heating normally again after cooling, the thermostat is likely still functional (the underlying overheating cause needs investigation). However, if the thermostat has failed permanently open — often the result of repeated overheat events or age — it will need replacement. Test with a multimeter set to continuity: a working thermostat shows continuity at room temperature. If it reads open (infinite resistance) when cold, it has failed and needs replacement.
Why does my self-cleaning cycle leave the oven door locked and the oven won't heat?
This is a classic symptom of a high limit thermostat that tripped during the self-clean cycle. Self-cleaning cycles run at extreme temperatures (800–1000°F) and stress every component in the oven — if the ventilation, door gasket, or cooling fan can't keep up, the high limit thermostat will trip open. Once tripped, the oven can't heat OR unlock the self-clean door lock mechanism, leaving the door stuck closed. Once the thermostat cools and closes (or is replaced), the door lock releases and normal operation resumes. If self-clean cycles routinely trip the thermostat, investigate whether the ventilation, cooling fan, or door gasket are causing the problem.
Can I do this repair myself, or should I hire a technician?
Replacing an oven high limit thermostat is a manageable DIY repair for someone comfortable with mechanical work and electrical connections, but this is a 240V circuit and the thermostat is a safety component — any error can create a serious safety risk. If you have experience with appliance repair, follow the safety precautions carefully (breaker off, voltage tester, correct thermostat orientation), and can confirm the wiring connections are secure, this is a feasible DIY. If you've never worked with 240V appliance circuits before, hiring a qualified appliance technician is the safer option. Also identify and address whatever caused the original overheat event — otherwise the new thermostat will trip again.
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 high limit thermostat installed in compatible Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore ovens from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. Backed by Whirlpool's one-year warranty on Genuine OEM parts.

AGM30045804 Genuine OEM LG Dryer Thermistor and Thermostat Kit
The AGM30045804 is a genuine LG OEM high-limit thermostat and thermistor kit for LG dryers. These two components work together in the same temperature-regulation circuit: the thermistor is a temperature sensor, mounted in the blower housing with its wire harness included, that continuously reports drum temperature to the control board so it can fine-tune heat output throughout the cycle. The high-limit thermostat is a safety switch that automatically shuts off the heating element if temperatures climb past a safe threshold, then resets itself once the dryer cools, without needing to be replaced the way a thermal fuse does.
Because these two parts share the same circuit and tend to wear or fail around a similar timeline, LG sells and services them together as one kit rather than as separate individual parts. Symptoms of failure in this circuit include the dryer overheating (which can scorch clothing or, left unaddressed, pose a fire risk), the dryer running with little or no heat, drying times that have become inconsistent, an error code related to temperature control on the display, or clothes coming out damp after a full cycle. It directly replaces 6931EL3003C, 6323EL2001B, 6931EL3003F, 6931EL3004B, AP7206815, EAP16732335, and PS16732335.
Quick Answer
The AGM30045804 Genuine OEM LG Dryer Thermistor and Thermostat Kit fixes LG (and select Kenmore, GE-branded LG-built) dryers with overheating, little or no heat, inconsistent drying times, a temperature-related error code, or clothes coming out damp after a full cycle. High-limit thermostat + thermistor with wire harness. Replaces 6931EL3003C, 6323EL2001B, 6931EL3003F, 6931EL3004B, AP7206815, EAP16732335, PS16732335. If you've already replaced the high-limit thermostat alone and the problem returns, this combined kit — which also addresses the thermistor — is the next step.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Let It Cool Fully First Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning, and allow the dryer to cool completely if it was recently run. Wear work gloves. Access on many LG models follows this general sequence: remove the lint screen, then remove the two front panel screws underneath it, the two screws on the face of the panel, and the two screws holding the blower cover in place. Disconnect the door switch connector and remove the front panel. With the front open, release the drive belt from the tensioner and remove the drum to access the blower housing where the thermistor is located. Photograph the wiring connections before disconnecting anything, since the thermistor and high-limit thermostat can be easy to confuse with other similar-looking components nearby. Disconnect and remove the old thermistor and high-limit thermostat, noting their exact mounting positions. Install the new components from this kit in the same positions, reconnecting wiring exactly as photographed. Reinstall the drum, re-tension the belt over the tensioner, and reassemble the front panel, blower cover, and lint screen area in reverse order. Restore power and run a full test cycle to confirm normal, consistent heating with no premature shutoffs. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
I already replaced the high-limit thermostat, but it keeps tripping. Why would I need this kit instead?
This is a well-documented pattern. If the thermistor — the sensor that reports temperature to the control board — is misreading heat, the control can keep driving the heating element past the point where the high-limit thermostat has to trip repeatedly to protect the dryer, even with a brand-new thermostat installed. Replacing the thermistor alongside the thermostat addresses the root cause rather than just the symptom, which is exactly why LG packages them together as one kit.
What's the difference between the thermistor and the high-limit thermostat?
The thermistor is a sensor, not a switch — it's a variable resistor whose resistance changes with temperature, and the control board reads that value continuously to regulate heat output throughout the cycle. The high-limit thermostat is a safety switch that does one job: it shuts off the heating element automatically if temperature exceeds a safe limit, then resets itself once things cool down. A failing thermistor causes inconsistent or inaccurate heat regulation; a failing high-limit thermostat causes the dryer to shut off unexpectedly or fail to protect against overheating.
My parts diagram shows more thermostat-like parts than what's in this kit. Did I order the wrong thing?
Not necessarily — some LG dryer models have additional related components, such as a separate blower thermostat, that are not part of this specific kit. This kit covers the high-limit thermostat and thermistor. If your repair calls for additional related parts, or if you're not sure exactly which components your model needs, contact our support team with your model number and we'll help you confirm the complete parts list before you order.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by LG to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It includes the same resistance values, switch threshold, and wire harness configuration as the high-limit thermostat and thermistor originally installed in your dryer.

XPARTCO D111-25GR Refrigerator Universal Directional Spun Copper Drier
The XPARTCO D111-25GR is a universal spun copper filter drier for domestic and commercial refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioners. Installed in the sealed refrigerant line, this drier filters the refrigerant as it circulates through the system, removing moisture and contaminants that would otherwise damage internal components or restrict refrigerant flow over time.
This directional drier is suitable for both refrigeration and air conditioning systems, compatible with R12, R22, R502, and R134A refrigerants. It features a 1" diameter body, approximately 8-1/8" in length, with a 1/4" O.D. copper tubing inlet paired with a 1/4" Schrader valve, and a 1/4" O.D. outlet. Equipped with a molecular sieve filter element and a 25g silica gel particle fill, this drier's higher desiccant content is more suitable for large refrigerators, freezers, and commercial refrigeration equipment. Filter driers are typically replaced whenever the sealed system is opened for service — such as after a compressor replacement or a refrigerant leak repair — since a used drier that has already absorbed moisture won't provide adequate protection for a newly serviced system. This is a universal cross-brand part, fitting any refrigeration system conforming to this filter drier's type and size specifications, and directly replaces ERD111, SUD111, PD111, TJ90SUD111, and WR86X25269.

Large refrigerators, freezers, commercial refrigeration equipment
Installation
Professional/certified technician required — refrigerant recovery and brazing involved
Compatibility
Universal — multiple refrigeration and A/C brands
Installation Requirements
⚠️ Professional Installation Required Installing a filter drier requires opening the sealed refrigerant system: recovering the existing refrigerant, brazing the new drier into the liquid line, evacuating the system to remove air and moisture, and recharging it with the correct refrigerant type and amount. This work involves pressurized refrigerant, an open flame or torch for brazing, and — in the United States — legally requires EPA Section 608 certification to purchase, handle, or recover most refrigerants. This is not a DIY repair. Have this part installed by a qualified, licensed refrigeration or appliance technician.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does a refrigerator need a filter drier?
A filter drier removes moisture and contaminants from the refrigerant as it circulates through the sealed system. Moisture inside a refrigeration system can cause internal corrosion, ice formation at restriction points, and acid formation that damages the compressor over time, so keeping the refrigerant clean and dry is essential to the system's long-term reliability.
When does this part typically get replaced?
A filter drier is normally replaced any time a technician opens the sealed system for service, such as during a compressor replacement or after repairing a refrigerant leak. Reusing an old drier after the system has been opened is not recommended, since a saturated drier no longer effectively removes moisture from the newly serviced system.
Can I install this myself?
No, this is not a DIY-appropriate repair. Installing a filter drier requires recovering refrigerant, brazing the new drier into the line, evacuating the system, and recharging it with refrigerant — all of which require specialized tools and training. In the United States, purchasing, handling, and recovering most refrigerants legally requires EPA Section 608 certification. This part should be installed by a qualified, licensed refrigeration or appliance technician.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a universal XPARTCO replacement part, manufactured to match the size, connection type, and desiccant specification of the original D111-family filter drier used across a wide range of refrigeration and air conditioning systems.

XPARTCO W10810403 Washer Lid Switch Assembly
The XPARTCO W10810403 is an aftermarket replacement lid lock assembly for Whirlpool Cabrio and Maytag Bravos XL top-load washers. Positioned on the underside of the washer lid, this assembly detects whether the lid is open or closed and locks it shut during the wash cycle, preventing the washer from spinning or agitating — and preventing the lid from being opened — while the cycle is running. This is a safety mechanism as much as a functional one, keeping users from contacting moving parts or being splashed by water or detergent mid-cycle.
This assembly includes the lid lock mechanism and its wiring harness, and ships with a white bezel. Many of these lid locks also contain an internal fuse as part of the switch circuit — if that fuse blows, the symptom isn't limited to lid-related errors; it can prevent the entire control board from powering up at all, since the switch sits in the same circuit path. A failing lid lock typically shows up as the lid not closing or locking properly, the washer failing to start, the cycle stopping mid-way, or in more severe cases, a completely unresponsive control panel with no lights at all. It directly replaces AP5984435, PS11722981, W10648012, W10787878, W10697793, W10787880, AP5999414, and PS11731620.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO W10810403 Washer Lid Switch Assembly fixes Whirlpool Cabrio, Maytag Bravos XL, and select Kenmore 600/700 Series top-load washers where the lid won't lock, the washer won't start, the cycle stops mid-way, or the control panel is completely unresponsive with no lights. White bezel. Replaces AP5984435, PS11722981, W10648012, W10787878, W10697793, W10787880, AP5999414, PS11731620. If your original lock has a grey bezel, you need part number W10861642 instead — same mechanism, different bezel color, so match the color of your existing lock before ordering.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Lid won't lock or lock reliably during the cycle
Lid won't open after a cycle finishes
Washer won't start
Washer won't agitate or spin because the lid isn't sensed as locked
Cycle stops partway through
Washer pumps but won't spin
Control panel completely unresponsive with no lights, potentially from an internal fuse in the switch circuit

Note — bezel color and lid lock platform both matter: This assembly has a white bezel. If your original lock has a grey bezel, order W10861642 instead — same lock mechanism, different bezel color. Separately, Whirlpool has used several distinct lid lock designs across its Cabrio-era washer lineup, including a different 3-wire electronic lock (our W11670519 listing) used on other Cabrio/MVW models. These are not the same part despite both serving Cabrio-platform washers. Always verify your full model number and match your original lock's exact part number before ordering. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Open the washer lid and locate the lid lock assembly mounted on its underside, typically secured with a couple of screws. Photograph the wiring harness connection before disconnecting anything. Remove the mounting screws, disconnect the wiring harness connector from the old assembly, and pull it free. Install the new W10810403 in the same position, reconnect the wiring harness connector fully, and secure the mounting screws. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm the lid locks securely, the washer starts and completes a full cycle, and the lid unlocks normally once finished. Tools needed: multi-screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My control panel has no lights at all. Could the lid lock really cause that?
Yes, and this is a less obvious but documented cause. Some of these lid lock assemblies include an internal fuse as part of the switch circuit. If that fuse blows, it can prevent the control board from powering up entirely, producing a completely dark, unresponsive panel rather than a symptom that's obviously tied to the lid. If your washer has no lights and no response at all, this lock assembly is worth checking alongside the more obvious suspects.
My old lock has a grey bezel. Can I still use this part?
This specific listing has a white bezel. If your original lock is grey, order part number W10861642 instead — it's the same lock mechanism, just finished with a grey bezel to match certain washer trim colors. Using the wrong bezel color won't affect function, but it will look mismatched against your washer's lid.
Is this the same lock used on all Cabrio washers?
No — Whirlpool has used more than one lid lock design across its Cabrio-era lineup. This W10810403 is a distinct assembly from other Cabrio/MVW-platform locks, such as our W11670519 listing, which uses a different 3-wire electronic locking design. Always match your exact original part number rather than assuming any "Cabrio lock" will fit, since the mounting and electrical interface can differ between designs.
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 locking mechanism, wiring harness, and bezel design of the original W10810403 lid lock assembly used in compatible Whirlpool Cabrio, Maytag Bravos XL, and related top-load washers.

Genuine OEM W11517331 Electric Range Surface Burner Control Knob
The Genuine OEM Whirlpool W11517331 is the surface burner control knob for select Whirlpool electric ranges. It mounts on the front panel and turns the burner on and off and adjusts the heat setting. Knobs wear out with age or get damaged, and a cracked, broken, loose or stripped knob, or one with the markings worn off, is the usual reason to replace it.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Turn Off The Burner And Let It Cool Make sure all burners are off and cool. Pull the old knob straight off its spindle. Line up the new knob with the spindle and push it straight on until it is fully seated, then check that the off-position marking lines up and the burner responds. If the knob spins freely on a good spindle or the burner still doesn't respond, the burner switch may need replacing instead.
Frequently Asked Questions
My burner won't heat or start. Is a new knob the fix?
Sometimes. If the old knob is stripped, broken or loose, a new knob can fix it. If the knob is in good condition, the burner switch or element is more likely the cause, so check those before replacing the knob.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part from Whirlpool, not an aftermarket equivalent.
Do I get one knob or a set?
One knob. If you need more than one burner knob replaced, order the quantity you need.
Will this fit my range?
It is listed for many Whirlpool electric ranges, but the model list above is only a sample and some models use a different knob. Check your full model number against your parts diagram, or contact our support team and we'll verify it before you order.

XPARTCO WH08X37938 Washer Lid Switch Assembly
The XPARTCO WH08X37938 is an aftermarket replacement lid switch (lid lock) assembly for GE and Hotpoint top-load washers, also used on select Kenmore models. The assembly locks the lid while the washer is running and releases it when the cycle ends, and it tells the control board the lid is closed and it's safe to run. When it wears out, cracks, or fails electrically, the washer may refuse to start, stop in the middle of a cycle, show a lid or door lock error, or fail to lock the lid at all.
This assembly replaces the original lock and switch as a unit, so you do not have to diagnose which internal contact has failed. It mounts on the washer cabinet with an electrical connector and is a straightforward repair, usually done in under an hour.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WH08X37938 Lid Switch Assembly fixes a GE or Hotpoint top-load washer that won't start, stops mid-cycle, won't lock the lid, or shows a lid or door lock error because the lid lock is worn or has failed. Complete replacement lock and switch assembly, aftermarket. Classic symptom: you close the lid and nothing happens, or the washer starts then stops and signals a lid or lock fault.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Washer won't start when the lid is closed
Washer stops partway through the wash, rinse, or spin
Lid will not lock, or stays locked after the cycle ends
Lid or door lock error codes
Loose, cracked, or visibly damaged lid lock

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Power and Shut Off Water Unplug the washer and turn off the water supply before starting. Work gloves are recommended. Open the lid and, following your model's service guide, remove the top panel or cabinet section to reach the lid lock mounted on the cabinet. Note the position of the old assembly, disconnect its wiring connector, and remove the screws holding it in place. Fit the new assembly in the same position, secure it, and reconnect the connector. Reassemble the washer, restore power and water, and run a short cycle to confirm the lid locks, the washer starts, and the lid releases at the end.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer won't start with the lid closed. Is this the part I need?
A failed lid lock is a common cause. The control board won't start a cycle unless it sees the lid is closed and locked. Check that the lid closes fully and that nothing is blocking it. If it still won't start, the lid lock is a likely cause.
Is a lid switch the same as a lid lock?
On these washers, the lid switch and lock are combined in one assembly, which this part replaces.
My old part is marked WH08X32697 or WH08X31577. Will this work?
Those numbers are on the Replaces list. Compare the connector and mounting against your old part, or contact our support team with your model number and we'll confirm.
Will this fit my front-load washer?
No. This is for top-load washers.
Is this an OEM part?

XPARTCO WR51X10055 Refrigerator Defrost Heater Assembly
The XPARTCO WR51X10055 is an aftermarket replacement refrigerator defrost heater and bracket assembly compatible with a wide range of GE, Hotpoint, Kenmore, Haier, Americana, Monogram, and Café refrigerators. The defrost heater is a glass quartz tube heater mounted on a bracket below the evaporator coils in the freezer compartment. During each automatic defrost cycle, the heater energizes and melts any frost that has accumulated on the evaporator coils — maintaining unobstructed airflow through the coils so the refrigerator can cool efficiently. When the heater fails, frost accumulates on the coils unchecked, blocking airflow and causing both the freezer and fresh food sections to gradually warm up.
Rated at 120V, 725W, this single quartz tube heater assembly measures 12-1/8" L x 3-3/8" W x 2-1/8" H and includes the heater element and mounting bracket. It directly replaces WR51X10030, AP3183311, 914088, AH303781, EA303781, PS303781, SH323, and EAP303781. Often replaced together with the defrost thermostat (WR50X10068) and temperature sensor (WR55X10025) for a complete defrost system repair. Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WR51X10055 Refrigerator Defrost Heater Assembly fixes GE and Hotpoint refrigerators where frost is building up on the evaporator coils, the freezer is too warm, the fresh food section is warming up, or the refrigerator is running continuously without cooling properly. Single quartz tube heater, 120V / 725W. Assembly measures 12-1/8" L x 3-3/8" W x 2-1/8" H. Includes heater and bracket. Replaces WR51X10030, AP3183311, 914088, SH323, and more. Compatible with GE, Hotpoint, Kenmore, Haier, Americana, Monogram, and Café.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Frost or ice buildup covering the evaporator coils in the freezer compartment
Freezer section warming up or not maintaining set temperature
Fresh food section warming up even though the freezer is running
Refrigerator running continuously but not cooling properly
Visible frost accumulation on the freezer back wall behind the panel
Defrost heater element visibly burned out, broken, or dark/charred at the ends
Both compartments gradually warming up after working normally for years
Replaces Part Numbers
This defrost heater assembly directly replaces the following OEM and cross-reference part numbers:
WR51X10055, WR51X10030, 914088, AGE29323, AH303781, AP3183311, EA303781, EAP303781, PD00001004, PS303781.
If your part number is not listed above, contact our support team before ordering and we will verify compatibility.
Compatibility
This defrost heater is compatible with select refrigerators from the following brands:

Café refrigerators
Tip: When replacing the defrost heater, it is highly recommended to also replace the defrost thermostat (WR50X10068) and temperature sensor (WR55X10025) at the same time. These three parts form the defrost system and are commonly replaced together — replacing all three prevents a second disassembly if another component fails soon after.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Unplug the refrigerator before beginning. Remove all food and shelving from the freezer compartment. Remove the freezer bottom drawer and the back panel screws (typically 2 hex-head screws). Slide out the back panel to expose the evaporator coils and defrost heater assembly. If the coils are covered in frost or ice, use a hair dryer to melt the ice before removing the heater — do not chip or force the heater free while iced over, as the glass element is fragile and will break. Disconnect the heater wires from the wiring harness — note the orientation before disconnecting. Remove the 2 Phillips screws securing the heater bracket and lift the heater assembly out. Install the new WR51X10055 heater assembly in the same position, reconnect the wires, and reinstall the bracket screws. Reinstall the back panel, shelving, and food. Restore power and verify the defrost cycle operates normally. Wear work gloves throughout — the evaporator area has sharp edges. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, hair dryer (if coils are iced over), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the refrigerator defrost heater do?
Modern refrigerators use an automatic defrost system that periodically runs a defrost cycle — typically once or twice a day — to melt frost that accumulates on the evaporator coils during normal operation. The defrost heater is a glass quartz heating element that energizes during this cycle and melts the frost off the coils. This keeps the coils clear so air can flow freely through them to cool the refrigerator. When the heater fails, frost builds up unchecked on the coils over days or weeks — eventually blocking airflow completely and causing both compartments to warm up, even though the compressor is still running.
How do I know if my defrost heater has failed?
Remove the freezer back panel to expose the evaporator coils. If the coils are heavily coated in frost or solid ice — especially if both the freezer and refrigerator sections have been warming up — a failed defrost heater is the most likely cause. You can confirm with a multimeter: disconnect the heater and probe both wire ends. A working heater shows continuity (resistance between approximately 10–200 ohms at room temperature depending on wattage). No continuity confirms the heater element has burned out. Also visually inspect the glass tube — a burned, blackened, or broken tube is a clear sign of failure.
Should I also replace the defrost thermostat and temperature sensor?
Yes — since the freezer must be fully emptied and the back panel removed to replace the heater, it is highly recommended to also replace the defrost thermostat (WR50X10068) and temperature sensor (WR55X10025) at the same time. All three components form the defrost system and wear at similar rates. A failed thermostat or sensor can cause the heater to run too long or not at all — replacing all three in a single repair eliminates that risk and saves you from another complete freezer teardown in the near future.
My freezer is warming up but the compressor is running — is it the defrost heater?
It often is — but not always. A compressor that is running but not cooling can be caused by a failed defrost heater (frost blocking airflow), a faulty evaporator fan motor (air not circulating), a defrost thermostat or timer failure, or a sealed system problem (refrigerant leak or compressor issue). The easiest way to distinguish a defrost system failure from other causes is to open the freezer and check whether frost has built up on the back panel or coils. If yes, the defrost heater is the most likely culprit. If the coils are clear and the compressor is running, look at the evaporator fan or sealed system next.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine GE OEM part, but is manufactured as a single quartz tube glass heater rated at 120V/725W to match the dimensions and performance of the original WR51X10055 defrost heater assembly.
