XPARTCO WE04X20415 Dryer Timer
The XPARTCO WE04X20415 is an aftermarket replacement electromechanical timer for GE electric and gas dryers, and also fits select Hotpoint and Kenmore models. This timer manages the duration of the drying cycle, running the dryer for the correct amount of time based on your selected setting and automatically shutting the machine off once the cycle is complete — that automatic shutoff is what prevents over-drying, which can damage fabrics and waste energy.
Rated with manufacturer designation 212D1233P005, measuring approximately 2-1/8"H x 3"W x 4-1/4"D. Over time, the timer's internal mechanical components can wear out, be damaged by power surges, or simply age past their reliable service life. A failing timer typically shows up as the dryer not shutting off at the end of a cycle, not running for the correct length of time, or the control knob feeling loose or failing to turn the mechanism properly. It directly replaces AP5805477, WE4M357, 3276788, PS9491767, WE04X20415-20PK, and WE4M355.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WE04X20415 Dryer Timer fixes GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore electric and gas dryers that won't shut off at the end of a cycle, don't run for the correct length of time, or have a knob that's stripped or won't turn properly. Replaces AP5805477, WE4M357, 3276788, PS9491767, WE04X20415-20PK, WE4M355. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting the old timer, and transfer each wire one at a time to the new timer to make sure everything ends up in the correct position.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Transfer Wires One At A Time Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Remove the screws from the back panel and set the panel aside. Remove the control knob from the front panel. Pull the old timer out and photograph the wiring connections before disconnecting anything. Transfer each wire one at a time from the old timer to the new WE04X20415, matching each connection exactly as photographed — moving them one at a time rather than all at once helps avoid mixing up positions. Secure the new timer in its mounting position, reconnect the knob to the front panel, and reattach the back panel. Restore power and test the timer by setting it for a few minutes and starting a cycle to confirm the dryer runs for the correct duration and shuts off with the buzzer at the end. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer won't shut off at the end of the cycle. Is this the timer?
Yes, this is one of the most direct symptoms of a failing timer. The timer is responsible for automatically shutting the dryer off once the selected cycle duration is complete, so if that mechanism has worn out or jammed, the dryer can continue running well past when it should have stopped.
My control knob feels loose and won't turn the timer properly. Is that this same part?
It could be related. One customer found the knob stem had worn smooth and would no longer turn the timer mechanism at all — in that case, replacing the timer resolves the issue since the knob attaches directly to the timer's internal shaft.
Is this a hard repair to do myself?
No, several customers describe this as a straightforward repair. One account details removing the back panel screws, disconnecting the dryer, removing the front knob, photographing the wiring, and transferring each wire one at a time to the new timer — the whole process, including testing, took well under an hour, and even helped one customer celebrate an 80th birthday with a successful father-son repair.
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 to match the timing mechanism, terminal layout, and dimensions of the original WE04X20415 timer used in compatible GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore electric and gas dryers.

XPARTCO WE1M652 Dryer Timer Knob
The XPARTCO WE1M652 is an aftermarket replacement timer control knob for GE dryers, and also fits select Hotpoint and Kenmore models. This knob mounts onto the timer's D-shaped shaft and is what you turn to select and adjust the dryer's cycle setting — it's the direct physical interface between you and the timer mechanism inside the control panel.
Finished in white, this knob measures 3" in diameter and accepts a D-shaped shaft. Over time, the knob can crack, break, or simply be lost, or the shaft opening can wear enough that the knob spins freely without actually turning the timer setting. A worn or damaged knob typically shows up as a cracked or broken knob, a knob that won't stay seated on the shaft, a knob that spins without adjusting the cycle, or cycle markings that have become worn and unreadable. It directly replaces 1264289, AH1482196, EA1482196, AP3995164, AGE25175, EAP1482196, PD00024388, PS1482196.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WE1M652 Dryer Timer Knob fixes GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore dryers with a cracked, broken, or missing timer knob, a knob that spins without adjusting the cycle, or worn cycle markings. White, 3" diameter, D-shaped shaft. Replaces 1264289, AH1482196, EA1482196, AP3995164, AGE25175, EAP1482196, PD00024388, PS1482196. Not the same as the similarly-numbered WE1M654 — using the wrong knob can throw off your dryer's cycle timing even though it may physically fit.

Knob spins freely without adjusting the timer setting

Note — not the same as WE1M654: A similarly-numbered knob, WE1M654, is a separate part used on different models. GE's own support has confirmed that installing the wrong knob can throw off your dryer's cycle timing, causing the cycle to cut off before reaching the correct "off" position, even if the wrong knob appears to fit. Always confirm your exact model number before ordering. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure which knob your dryer needs.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — The Fit Can Be Snug Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning. Remove the old knob by pulling it straight off the control shaft — no tools are typically required, though some customers have found the fit quite snug and needed a firm, steady pull with some leverage to remove the old knob or seat the new one fully. Align the D-shaped socket on the new WE1M652 with the flat side of the timer shaft, then press the new knob firmly onto the shaft until it's fully seated. Restore power and test that the knob turns the timer setting correctly through its full range, confirming the dryer starts and progresses through the cycle as expected. Tools needed: none typically required.
Frequently Asked Questions
My old knob cracked and I replaced it with a similar-looking one, but now my drying time seems off. What happened?
This is a documented issue when the wrong knob is installed. GE's own support has confirmed that a similarly-numbered knob, WE1M654, is not correct for all models and, if installed on the wrong dryer, causes the cycle to cut off before reaching the true "off" position, throwing off drying time even though the knob may physically fit onto the shaft. If your timing seems off after a knob replacement, double-check that WE1M652 (not WE1M654) is the correct part for your specific model.
My knob spins freely without changing the cycle. Is this the right part?
Yes, this is one of the most common symptoms this knob resolves. If the knob's D-shaped socket has worn out or become stripped, it can no longer grip the timer's shaft properly, letting the knob spin without actually turning the internal timer mechanism.
Is this hard to install?
No, it's one of the simplest dryer repairs — the old knob pulls straight off the shaft and the new one presses straight on, with no tools needed. Some customers have noted the fit is quite snug and takes a bit of extra force to fully seat, but no special skills or hardware are required.
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 to match the size, D-shaped shaft fit, and white finish of the original WE1M652 timer knob used in compatible GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore dryers.

137292700 Dryer Genuine OEM Drum Belt
The 137292700 is a genuine Frigidaire OEM multi-rib drum belt for Frigidaire stacked laundry center (combination washer/dryer) units, and also fits select Crosley, Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, Kenmore, Tappan, and White Westinghouse combo models. This belt attaches to the motor pulley and spins the drum as the motor rotates, keeping clothes tumbling evenly throughout the drying cycle.
Measures approximately 89-1/2" long and 1/4" wide, with multiple ribs. Over time, this belt naturally dries out, cracks, or breaks from regular use.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug The Laundry Center Before Starting Disconnect power to the laundry center unit at the outlet before beginning. Wear work gloves. This repair is best approached from the top down: remove the top of the unit first, which gives more room to get the dryer tub out. Remove the two screws from the vented plate on the back of the machine to access and undo the old belt. Since this is a stackable washer/dryer combo, also remove the white plate on the front between the washer and dryer sections for full access. Locate the old belt connecting the motor pulley to the drum and remove it. Fit the new 137292700 belt around the drum and motor pulley in the same path as the old one, making sure it seats correctly and is properly tensioned. Reassemble the front plate, vented back plate, and top of the unit. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm the drum tumbles smoothly with no banging or unusual noise. Tools needed: putty knife, screwdriver set, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
The motor is running but the drum won't turn. Is this the belt I need?
Yes, this is the classic and most reliable sign of a broken drum belt. If you can hear the motor running normally but the drum itself stays still, the belt has likely dried out and broken, no longer connecting the motor's rotation to the drum.
Is this the same as a standalone Frigidaire dryer belt?
No, this belt is specifically sized and profiled for Frigidaire-style stacked laundry center units, where the washer and dryer are combined into one appliance. It's a different part from standalone Frigidaire dryer belts used on separate dryers. Confirm your unit type and model number before ordering.
Is this a difficult repair?
It's a moderate repair since it involves removing the top of the laundry center unit, the vented back plate, and the front plate between the washer and dryer sections to get full access to the belt. One customer described working from the top down as the easiest approach, since it gives more room to remove the dryer tub.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Frigidaire to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original length, width, and rib pattern of the multi-rib drum belt originally installed in your laundry center.

⚠️ 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.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting Disconnect power before beginning. The thermistor location varies by model — it is typically clipped to a bracket on the interior side wall of the fresh food or freezer compartment, or mounted near the evaporator coil. Consult your model's parts diagram or service manual to confirm the exact location before disassembly. Open the sensor cover or unclip the sensor bracket, disconnect the wiring connector, and pull the old thermistor out. Insert the new 2188820 thermistor, reconnect the wiring connector, and snap the cover or bracket back into place. Ensure the sensor head is positioned close to the compartment wall and the wiring is not pinched. Restore power and monitor the refrigerator temperature over the next few hours to confirm stable, accurate cooling. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver (for panel access on some models); no tools needed for sensor replacement itself.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between 2188820 and WP2188820?
These are the same thermistor. WP2188820 is the updated Whirlpool OEM part number that superseded the original 2188820. The 2213442 is also a cross-reference for the same part. This aftermarket replacement is compatible with all three numbers.
What does an NTC thermistor do and how do I know if mine has failed?
An NTC thermistor is a resistor whose resistance decreases as temperature increases. The control board sends a small voltage through the thermistor and measures the resulting resistance — a lower resistance means warmer temperature, and a higher resistance means cooler temperature. The board uses this reading to decide when to run the compressor and fans. A failed thermistor either reads open circuit (no continuity), short circuit (zero resistance), or provides incorrect readings that cause the refrigerator to run too warm, too cold, or cycle erratically. Test with a multimeter at room temperature — a working 2188820 should read approximately 50K ohms at 25°C (77°F). Significant deviation indicates failure.
How do I know if my refrigerator uses the WISE system?
The WISE (Whirlpool Intelligent Smart Energy) system was introduced on newer Whirlpool refrigerator models and uses a different thermistor specification that is not interchangeable with the 2188820. Models that use the WISE system are typically marked in the product documentation or on the control board. The easiest way to confirm compatibility is to verify your model number with our support team before ordering, or check whether WP2188820 appears in your model's official parts diagram. If your parts diagram lists WP2188820, this replacement is compatible.
Where is the thermistor located in my refrigerator?
The thermistor location varies by model and brand. On Whirlpool and KitchenAid models, it is commonly found on the interior side wall of the fresh food compartment clipped to a plastic housing. On some models it is located near the evaporator coil behind the freezer back panel. On Kenmore 106 series models, it may be on the fresh food section wall or inside the back panel. Consult your specific model's parts diagram or search for a model-specific installation video to locate the sensor before disassembling the refrigerator.
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 with an NTC thermistor rated to the same 50K ohm specification as the original WP2188820 to match the performance and accuracy of the factory sensor.

XPARTCO W10316760 Refrigerator Thermistor Sensor
The XPARTCO W10316760 is an aftermarket replacement temperature thermistor compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool-built refrigerators sold under the Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, Inglis, and Magic Chef brands. The thermistor sits inside the fresh food or freezer compartment and continuously reports internal temperature back to the electronic control board, which uses that reading to cycle the compressor, evaporator fan, and damper to keep the compartment in range. When the thermistor drifts out of calibration or fails outright, the control board loses an accurate temperature signal and the refrigerator commonly responds with erratic cooling, a warmer-than-normal compartment, food freezing when it shouldn't, or a flashing/blank temperature display.
This XPARTCO version is built with a quick-connect mounting clip, so it plugs in without cutting or splicing wires — unlike the genuine Whirlpool OEM part, which ships as a splice-in kit requiring you to cut the old thermistor's leads and join the new ones with included wire connectors. It directly replaces W10316760, WPW10323459, W10323459, 12791417, 12791417SP, 12791419SP, 1876627, W10280385, W10280386, W10308052, W10316760VP, W10438639, W10438761, W10452402, AH2580944, AP4538142, AWP40532, EA2580944, EAP2580944, PD00006590, PS2580944, and additional cross-reference numbers listed below.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Disconnect Power Before Starting Unplug the refrigerator or shut off power at the breaker before accessing internal panels. Locate the thermistor at its mounting position inside the fresh food or freezer compartment (location varies by model — consult your model's parts diagram if unsure). Photograph the wire routing before disconnecting. On this XPARTCO version, simply unplug the old thermistor's connector from the wiring harness — no cutting or splicing needed. Release the old thermistor from its mounting clip or bracket and remove it. Install the new thermistor in the same position, securing it in its mounting clip. Plug the new thermistor's connector into the wiring harness, matching your photos. Reassemble any panels removed for access. Restore power and allow the refrigerator several hours to stabilize before checking temperatures. Tools needed: nut driver or screwdriver (for panel access), needle-nose pliers (for mounting clip).
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the same as the genuine Whirlpool W10316760 thermistor?
It's a direct-fit aftermarket equivalent, not the genuine Whirlpool part. The key functional difference is installation: the genuine OEM version ships as a splice-in kit requiring you to cut the old wires and use included splice connectors, while this XPARTCO version has a quick-connect clip that simply plugs in — no splicing tools needed.
Will this fit my refrigerator?
W10316760 and its cross-reference numbers span a wide range of Whirlpool-built models across several brands. Confirm fit using your refrigerator's exact model number before ordering, since visually similar thermistors are used across different platforms and compartment locations. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure.
My fridge is warm but the freezer is fine (or vice versa) — could this part be the cause?
Yes. Most of these refrigerators use separate thermistors for the fresh food and freezer compartments, so a single failed sensor can cause one section to run warm while the other stays normal. Confirm which sensor location your model uses before ordering.
Do I need any tools to install this?
Basic hand tools to access the interior panel (typically a nut driver or screwdriver) plus needle-nose pliers to release the old mounting clip. Because this version uses a plug-style connector, no wire strippers, cutters, or splice connectors are needed — unlike the genuine OEM splice-kit version.
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 electrical resistance curve, mounting position, and temperature-sensing function of the original W10316760 thermistor used in compatible Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, Inglis, and Magic Chef refrigerators.
