XPARTCO EXP445 Dryer Repair Kit Replaces 4581EL2002C, 4400EL2001F, 4561EL3002A
The XPARTCO EXP445 is a complete aftermarket dryer maintenance kit for LG-built dryers sold under the LG and Kenmore brands, bundling the three components that most commonly wear out together as a dryer ages: the drum support rollers, the drive belt, and the idler pulley. Rather than ordering these parts one at a time as each fails, this kit lets you service the whole drum support and drive system in a single repair — the recommended approach once any one of these parts shows wear, since they all take similar stress and tend to fail in the same general time frame.
This kit includes 4 drum support rollers with metal shafts and high-strength bearings, 1 reinforced rubber drive belt, and 1 idler pulley assembly. It directly replaces roller numbers 4581EL2002L, 4581EL2002H, 4581EL2002C, 4581EL2002A, 4581EL2002D, 4581EL2002E, 4581EL3001A, 4581EL3001C, 4581EL3001F, AGM75510755, AP7220429, PS17269866; belt numbers 4400EL2001F, 4400EL2001A, 4400EL2001C, 4400EL2001E, 4115028, AP5972814, PS11705916; and idler pulley numbers 4561EL3002A, 4561EL3002B, AH3523033, EA3523033, AP4438243, PS3523033. Installs in 60–90 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO EXP445 Dryer Repair Kit fixes LG and Kenmore (LG-built) dryers with a loud rumbling/squeaking noise, a slipping or squealing belt, or a drum that won't turn — the classic signs that the drum support and drive system need a complete service. Includes 4 drum rollers, 1 drive belt, and 1 idler pulley. Replaces 4581EL2002L/H/C/A/D/E, 4581EL3001A/C/F, AGM75510755, AP7220429, PS17269866, 4400EL2001F/A/C/E, 4115028, AP5972814, PS11705916, 4561EL3002A/B, AH3523033, EA3523033, AP4438243, PS3523033. Classic symptom: loud rumbling that progresses to a squealing belt and, eventually, a drum that stops turning.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting Disconnect power before beginning. Remove the front panel (typically held by spring clips or screws behind the door frame) and carefully lift the drum out, supporting it so it doesn't drop or scratch the cabinet. With the drum removed, replace all 4 drum support rollers on their shafts, securing each with its retaining nut/washer. Slip the old belt off the motor pulley and remove the old idler pulley from its mounting bracket. Install the new idler pulley, then route the new belt around the drum and motor pulley exactly as the old one was routed (photograph the belt routing before removal) — the belt typically threads under the idler pulley with the ribbed side against the drum. Reinstall the drum onto the new rollers, verify the belt sits centered and properly tensioned, and reinstall the front panel. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm quiet, smooth operation. Tools needed: nut driver or socket set, putty knife (for spring clips, if applicable), and a camera or phone to document belt routing before disassembly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why buy a full kit instead of just the failed part?
The rollers, belt, and idler pulley all experience similar wear over the dryer's life and tend to fail within a similar timeframe of each other. Since the drum has to come out to access any one of these parts, most technicians and experienced DIYers replace all three at once — it costs less in total labor and time than doing three separate repairs as each part fails one after another.
My dryer runs but the drum doesn't turn — is this the kit I need?
Yes, in most cases. A drum that doesn't turn while the motor runs is almost always caused by a broken drive belt or a seized idler pulley. Since this kit includes both, along with the rollers that are commonly worn by the time the belt fails, it addresses the full drive system in one repair.
Will this fit my Whirlpool, GE, or Samsung dryer?
No — this kit is specific to the LG-built roller/belt/pulley platform used in LG and select Kenmore dryers. Other brands use different roller, belt, and pulley designs that this kit will not fit. Confirm your appliance model number before ordering.
Do I need to photograph the belt routing before removing the old one?
Yes, strongly recommended. LG dryer belts route around the drum and motor pulley in a specific path, often threading under the idler pulley in a particular orientation. Photographing the routing before removal makes reinstallation straightforward and avoids a belt that runs off-track or slips after reassembly.

XPARTCO DC47-00018A Dryer Hi Limit Thermostat
The XPARTCO DC47-00018A is an aftermarket replacement cycling high-limit thermostat for Samsung and select Kenmore electric dryers. This is a genuine, automatically resetting thermostat — not a one-time fuse. It monitors temperature in the heating circuit and opens to cut power to the heating element at approximately 260°F, protecting the dryer from overheating. Once the temperature drops to around 210°F, it closes again on its own, letting the dryer resume heating without any part replacement needed.
This thermostat works alongside a downstream thermal fuse (such as our DC96-00887C listing) in the same overheat-protection circuit. If this thermostat is cycling excessively, tripping prematurely, or failing to regulate temperature correctly, it can put stress on that thermal fuse, sometimes causing it to blow as a last-resort safety measure. Symptoms of a failing high-limit thermostat include no heat or insufficient heat, drying that takes too long, or the dryer shutting off too soon before a load is fully dry. It directly replaces 35001092, WP35001092, 1122485, AP4201898, PS4205217, EAP2430930, PS2430930, and AP6008682.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO DC47-00018A Dryer Hi Limit Thermostat fixes Samsung and select Kenmore electric dryers with no heat or insufficient heat, drying that takes too long, or premature shutoff before a load is fully dry. Opens at approximately 260°F, resets automatically around 210°F. Replaces 35001092, WP35001092, 1122485, AP4201898, PS4205217, EAP2430930, PS2430930, AP6008682. This is a resettable thermostat, not a fuse — it does not need replacement after each trip. It's a different component from our DC96-00887C thermal fuse listing, though the two are often checked together.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer has no heat or insufficient heat
Drying takes too long to complete a cycle
Dryer shuts off too soon, before clothes are fully dry
Timer will not advance through the cycle
Dryer that stopped working suddenly after running unusually hot
Dryer with a history of repeated downstream thermal fuse failures

DVE50M7450W/A3
Note — resettable thermostat, not a fuse: This DC47-00018A is a true cycling thermostat that resets itself automatically. Our DC96-00887C listing, despite frequently being labeled a "thermostat" on other marketplaces, is actually a one-time thermal fuse mounted separately on the blower housing — it cannot reset and must be replaced once blown. The two are different device types serving the same circuit. Always verify your full model number before ordering. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Access is typically through the rear panel, near the heater duct and blower housing area where this thermostat is mounted. Photograph the wiring connections before disconnecting anything, since this thermostat can be positioned close to other similar-looking components in the same circuit. Remove the old thermostat from its mounting position, noting orientation, and disconnect its wiring. Install the new DC47-00018A in the same position, reconnecting wiring exactly as photographed. Reassemble the panel, restore power, and run a full test cycle to confirm normal, consistent heating with no premature shutoffs. Tools needed: Phillips or nut driver (model-dependent), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to reset this thermostat after it trips, or replace it?
Neither, in normal operation — this is a genuine cycling thermostat that resets itself automatically once the dryer cools to around 210°F. You should only need to replace it if it has failed outright (stuck open, stuck closed, or no longer switching at the correct temperatures), not simply because it tripped once during normal operation.
My dryer shuts off before the load is fully dry. Is that this part?
It's a strong possibility. If this high-limit thermostat is tripping prematurely — opening at a lower temperature than it should — the dryer can cut heat and end the cycle early even though the load isn't actually dry yet. This is one of the more common symptoms this thermostat addresses.
My thermal fuse keeps blowing. Could this thermostat be the underlying cause?
Yes, this is worth investigating. This thermostat and the downstream thermal fuse (our DC96-00887C listing) protect the same circuit at different points. If this thermostat isn't regulating temperature correctly — cycling excessively or failing to catch a temperature spike — the thermal fuse can end up blowing repeatedly as the last line of defense. If you've replaced the fuse more than once, checking or replacing this thermostat at the same time is a reasonable next step.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Samsung OEM part, but is manufactured to match the electrical specifications and opening/reset temperatures of the original DC47-00018A high-limit thermostat used in compatible Samsung and Kenmore electric dryers.

Y54414 Dryer Idler Pulley Replaces WPY54414
The Y54414 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM idler pulley wheel and bearing assembly for Whirlpool dryers, and also fits select Maytag, Amana, Caloric, Crosley, Kenmore, and Speed Queen models. This pulley puts tension on the drive belt as it rides against it, and correct tension is what allows the belt to grip properly and spin the drum smoothly throughout the drying cycle.
Available in beige or black, this pulley wheel is 2" wide with a metallic bearing at its center, and mounts beneath the drum using two 5/16" screws. Over time, the bearing wears out or the wheel becomes damaged, and once that happens, the pulley can no longer maintain proper belt tension. Symptoms of a failing idler pulley include the dryer making noise during operation, failing to start, or failing to tumble, even though other parts of the drying cycle — like heating — may continue working normally. It directly replaces WPY54414, WPY54414VP, 14218926, 54414, 54414-REPL, 54414-2, R0609504, R0609504-REPL, AP6024203, AP6329060, PS11757553, EAP11757553, PS17001032, D510142P, 510142P, and 510142.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Remove The Blower Housing And Motor First For Easier Access Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. This pulley is located beneath the drum, so the drum will need to be removed to access it. Per official guidance, it's also recommended to remove the blower housing and motor from the dryer for easier access to the idler pulley. With the drum out and access clear, locate the idler pulley and remove the two 5/16" screws securing it in place. Take out the old pulley. Install the new Y54414 in the same position, making sure it's seated correctly against where the belt will ride, and secure it with the two 5/16" screws. Reinstall the motor and blower housing if removed, then reinstall the drum. Reroute the drive belt around the drum, motor pulley, and this idler pulley, matching the original path. Reassemble any panels removed for access. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm quiet, smooth tumbling with proper belt tension. Tools needed: 5/16" nut driver or socket, Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer dries clothes fine but makes a terrible noise. Is this the part I need?
Yes, this is a documented symptom of a worn idler pulley. One customer described exactly this: "The dryer would dry clothes but made a terrible noise" — after watching a repair video to identify the correct part, they confirmed this idler pulley was the cause, since a worn or damaged pulley can still allow the dryer to function while producing noticeable noise as it rubs or wobbles against the belt.
Is there an easier way to access this pulley than pulling out the whole drum?
The drum does need to come out since this pulley sits beneath it, but official guidance recommends also removing the blower housing and motor from the dryer, which makes reaching and working with the idler pulley considerably easier than trying to access it with those components still in place.
My dryer won't start at all. Could this pulley really be the cause?
Yes, on some models. If the idler pulley fails to put proper tension on the belt, some dryers won't allow the cycle to start at all rather than simply running without tumbling, since certain safety interlocks depend on normal belt tension and drum movement.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original pulley wheel size, bearing type, and mounting configuration of the idler pulley originally installed in your dryer.

XPARTCO MWC21105 Microwave High Voltage Capacitor, 2100 VAC 1.05 µF
The XPARTCO MWC21105 is an aftermarket replacement high-voltage capacitor for microwave ovens. It stores and releases electrical energy in the high-voltage circuit that powers the magnetron, the part that actually generates the heat. When the capacitor weakens or fails, the microwave can stop heating while the display, turntable, and light still work normally. It can also hum, trip the breaker, or blow the fuse.
Rated 2100 VAC and 1.05 µF, this oval, bracket-mounted capacitor has 1/4" male terminals and fits a wide range of microwaves from GE, Whirlpool, Samsung, LG, Frigidaire, Panasonic, Sharp, Kenmore, and other brands. Because the same capacitor was used under many manufacturers' part numbers, it carries a long cross-reference list; see the Replaces list below. Each order includes 1 capacitor.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Danger: Lethal Charge — Qualified Technician Installation Only A microwave high-voltage capacitor can hold a lethal electrical charge even after the microwave is unplugged. Installation should be done by a qualified service technician who knows how to safely discharge and test the high-voltage circuit. Do not touch the capacitor or its terminals, and do not open the microwave cabinet, unless you are trained to do so. Unplugging the microwave does not make this circuit safe. A technician will normally unplug the unit, safely discharge the capacitor, and note the wiring before removal. Match the replacement's capacitance, voltage rating, and terminal layout to the original, mount it securely in the same bracket position, reconnect the wiring as it was, and confirm all covers are back in place before powering the microwave.
Frequently Asked Questions
My microwave runs but doesn't heat — is the capacitor the problem?
A failed high-voltage capacitor is one common cause of a microwave that runs but doesn't heat. Other high-voltage parts, such as the diode and the magnetron, can cause the same symptom, so a technician will usually test them together before replacing parts.
Is it safe to replace this myself?
We recommend a qualified service technician install this part. A microwave capacitor can retain a lethal electrical charge even when the microwave is unplugged, and the high-voltage circuit is dangerous to work around without the right training and tools.
Can I use a capacitor with a different capacitance or voltage?
No. Use the same rating as your original. This listing is a 1.05 µF, 2100 VAC capacitor. A 1.0 µF capacitor (13QBP21100) is a different part and is not a substitute.
What's included in the order?
1 high-voltage capacitor. It does not include a diode, fuse, or other components.

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

279769 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer Thermostat Kit
The 279769 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM thermal cut-off and high-limit thermostat kit for Whirlpool, Kenmore, Roper, KitchenAid, Maytag, Amana, Estate, Crosley, and Admiral electric dryers. This kit bundles two components that guard against overheating at different thresholds: the 3390291 high-limit thermostat (rated L250-80F) monitors internal temperature and interrupts power at approximately 250°F to prevent overheating, then resets itself automatically once the dryer cools — no replacement needed after each trip. The 3977394 thermal cut-off fuse is the backup: rated at 352°F, it's a one-time safety device that permanently opens the circuit if temperatures climb high enough that the thermostat alone didn't prevent an overheat.
These two parts are sold together and should be replaced together as a set, since they protect the same circuit and tend to be stressed by the same underlying problem. Whirlpool's own guidance is direct: when the thermal cut-off fails, it usually indicates a venting problem, and failing to correct that airflow issue will cause repetitive failures even with new parts installed. Symptoms include the dryer not heating, clothes coming out extremely hot, or the dryer not running at all. This kit is commonly used alongside heating element 4391960. It directly replaces 279548, 2796769, 279769VP, 2821, 2004, 3387812, 3389946, 3398671, 3977394, 695563, 80001, SET184, SET198, TJSET198, ET184, AP3094224, AH334278, EA334278, EAP334278, PD00002485, PS334278, WP3390291, AP6008306, 3390291, 696397, and PS11741441.
Quick Answer
The 279769 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer Thermostat Kit fixes Whirlpool, Kenmore, Roper, KitchenAid, Maytag, Amana, Estate, Crosley, and Admiral electric dryers with no heat, no power at all, or clothes coming out dangerously hot. Includes the 3390291 high-limit thermostat (250°F, auto-resetting) and the 3977394 thermal cut-off fuse (352°F, one-time). Replaces 279548, 2796769, 279769VP, 3387812, 3389946, 3398671, 3977394, 695563, 80001, AP3094224, PS334278, WP3390291, AP6008306, 3390291, 696397, PS11741441. Always inspect and clean the exhaust venting when replacing this kit — a blown thermal fuse is a symptom of restricted airflow, and skipping the vent check leads to repeat failures.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Inspect And Clean The Venting Before Reassembling Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Access is typically through the rear panel, near the heating element and blower housing where both components are mounted. Photograph the wiring connections before disconnecting anything, since the thermostat and fuse can be easy to swap positions by mistake. Remove each old component from its mounting position, noting orientation, and disconnect its wiring. Before reassembling, fully inspect and clean the dryer's exhaust vent, from the lint trap housing all the way to the exterior vent hood, checking for lint buildup, crushed sections, or excessive length. When the thermal cut-off fails, it usually indicates a venting problem, and failing to correct that airflow issue will cause repetitive failures even with these new parts installed. Install the new 3390291 thermostat and 3977394 thermal fuse from this kit in the same positions as the parts they replace, reconnecting wiring exactly as photographed. Reassemble the panel, restore power, and run a full test cycle to confirm normal, consistent heating with no premature shutoffs. Tools needed: Phillips or nut driver (model-dependent), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My clothes are coming out extremely hot, hot enough to burn my hands. Is this the right kit?
Yes, this is a documented symptom this kit addresses. If the high-limit thermostat fails to regulate temperature correctly, the dryer can run far hotter than it should, producing dangerously hot clothing at the end of a cycle. Whirlpool's own parts support has specifically pointed customers with this exact complaint toward this kit. Stop using the dryer if you notice this symptom and replace both components promptly.
Why do I need to replace both the thermostat and the fuse together?
These two parts protect the same circuit at different thresholds and tend to fail from the same underlying cause. If the high-limit thermostat isn't regulating temperature correctly, the thermal fuse often ends up blowing as the backup safety measure. Replacing only one risks the other failing again shortly after, so they're sold and serviced together as a set.
I replaced this kit and the dryer failed again. What should I check?
This is a strong sign the underlying cause — almost always restricted airflow — was never addressed. Thoroughly inspect and clean the entire exhaust path from the lint trap housing to the outside vent hood, checking for lint buildup, crushed or kinked ductwork, or a vent run that's too long. Failing to correct a venting issue will cause repetitive failures of this kit even when it's brand new.
Should I replace the heating element at the same time?
It's worth considering if your dryer's heating element (commonly 4391960 on compatible models) is original and has been running alongside a failing thermostat, since sustained overheating can stress the element as well. It's not required, but since you'll already have the panel open for this repair, it's a reasonable time to inspect the element for visible damage.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It includes the same temperature thresholds and mounting configuration as the high-limit thermostat and thermal cut-off fuse originally installed in your dryer.

XPARTCO WR17X11653 Refrigerator Dispenser Ice Door Flapper
The XPARTCO WR17X11653 is an aftermarket replacement ice door flapper, also sold as the dispenser door assembly, ice chute door or door recess assembly, for GE, Hotpoint and Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators, replacing GE part WR17X11653. It sits in the ice chute opening, seals the freezer against warm room air, and opens when the dispenser lever is pressed so ice can reach your glass.
If the door is cracked, warped, or its gasket no longer seals, warm air gets into the chute and the dispenser suffers. Check your model number before ordering, as the kit may include more than one piece.

The XPARTCO WR17X11653 Ice Door Flapper replaces the ice chute door on a compatible GE, Hotpoint or Kenmore refrigerator when it is cracked, warped, or no longer seals. Classic symptoms: door sweating, frost buildup at the chute, or ice not dispensing.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Power Before Installing Unplug the refrigerator and move perishable food to a cooler before you begin. Wear work gloves. A Phillips screwdriver and a small flat-blade screwdriver are typically needed. No installation instructions are included with the part, so keep your model's parts diagram handy and note how the old door and any springs or pieces come apart before removing them. Install the new door the same way, then restore power and test the dispenser.
