17438000001584 Genuine OEM Midea Dryer Belt Safety Switch
The 17438000001584 is a Genuine OEM Midea replacement belt safety switch compatible with select Midea, Criterion, and Insignia electric and gas dryers. This safety switch is positioned near the drive belt and tensioner pulley assembly, where it monitors belt-related conditions and interrupts electrical flow to the motor or heating circuit if a fault or unsafe condition is detected — such as a broken or severely slipped drive belt. This is a key safety mechanism: if the belt fails and the drum can no longer be safely driven, this switch helps prevent the motor from continuing to run unsafely or the heater from continuing to operate without normal airflow from drum rotation.
When this switch fails, the dryer may not start, may shut off unexpectedly during operation, or may fail to heat even though other components test correctly. As a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Midea to factory specifications, the 17438000001584 measures 2"L x 2"W x 3"H and weighs approximately 1 oz. It is found on the same parts diagram as the drive belt, tensioner pulley assembly, and drum support components on compatible models. Installs in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting (Shut Off Gas First on Gas Models) — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power before beginning (and shut off the gas supply first if you have a gas dryer model). Wear work gloves — there are sharp metal edges inside the dryer cabinet. Remove the lint filter housing screws, release the top panel locking clips with a putty knife, and lift the top panel. Remove the front panel to access the drum, drive belt, and tensioner pulley assembly. Locate the belt safety switch in this area — refer to your model's parts diagram to confirm its exact mounting position, as it is positioned near the belt and tensioner pulley support. Photograph the wire connections before disconnecting. Disconnect the wires from the old switch, remove the mounting screw or clip, and pull the switch free. Install the new 17438000001584 switch in the same position, secure the mounting hardware, and reconnect the wires. While this area is open, it's a good time to inspect the drive belt and tensioner pulley for wear, since this switch is related to belt operation. Reassemble the front panel and top panel in reverse order. Restore gas and power, and run a test cycle to confirm the dryer starts and runs normally. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the belt safety switch do?
The belt safety switch monitors belt-related conditions near the drive belt and tensioner pulley assembly and interrupts electrical flow to the motor or heating circuit if it detects a fault or unsafe condition — such as a broken or badly slipped drive belt. This is a protective measure: if the belt has failed and the drum can no longer be driven normally, the switch helps prevent continued unsafe operation of the motor or heater. It works alongside other safety components in the dryer (like the door/cover switch and thermal limiters) as part of an overall safety system.
My dryer just had a belt replacement and now isn't working right — could this switch be involved?
It's possible. Since this switch is positioned near the belt and tensioner pulley assembly, it can be disturbed, dislodged, or its connector improperly reseated during a belt replacement. If your dryer is behaving erratically after a recent belt repair — failing to start, shutting off, or not heating — check that this switch's connector is fully seated and that the switch itself wasn't damaged during the repair. If the connector is good and the switch tests as an open circuit with a multimeter, it has failed and needs replacement.
How do I test if this safety switch has failed?
Unplug the dryer, disconnect the switch's wire connector, and set your multimeter to continuity mode. With the belt and tensioner mechanism in their normal operating position, the switch should show closed continuity (allowing current to flow). If the switch shows an open circuit when it should be closed, it has failed and needs replacement. Always refer to your specific model's wiring diagram to confirm the expected switch state, since exact behavior can vary by dryer model.
Does this switch fit Insignia and Criterion dryers as well as Midea?
Yes — Insignia (Best Buy) and Criterion (Sears/Kmart) are house brands whose dryers in certain configurations are manufactured by Midea and use the same internal components, including this belt safety switch. Confirmed Criterion models include the CDG41N1AW and CDG45N1AW gas dryers. Always verify your specific model number before ordering to confirm compatibility.
Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Midea to factory specifications. It is the exact same belt safety switch installed in compatible Midea, Criterion, and Insignia dryers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

W11168740 Washer Genuine OEM Cold Water Inlet Valve
The W11168740 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM cold water inlet valve for Whirlpool top-load washers, and also fits select Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, and related models. Located at the rear of the washer, this valve connects to the cold water supply and solenoid wiring, opening to admit cold water into the tub as the cycle calls for it and closing once the correct fill level is reached.
Blue in color, with two solenoids, a standard hose fitting inlet, and a single water outlet. Common causes of failure include a worn internal seal that no longer closes fully, or general electrical wear in the solenoid. Symptoms of a failing valve include the washer not getting any cold water, filling slowly, not filling at all, or continuing to fill or leak water even after the washer has been unplugged. It directly replaces WPW10240949, W10240949, 33390069, W10921514, AP6285450, AWP43125, EAP12348073, PD00038781, PS12348073.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer And Shut Off Water Supply Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker, and shut off the water supply before beginning. Wear work gloves. Access is at the rear of the washer, where both the cold and hot water inlet valves are typically mounted together, each secured with just a few screws. Photograph the wiring and hose connections before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the electrical clamps and the water hose from the old cold water valve, remove the mounting screws, and pull it free. Install the new W11168740 in the same position, reconnect the water hose and electrical clamps fully, and secure the mounting screws. While you're in this area, consider replacing the fill hose at the same time if it shows signs of wear, since it's easy to access during this same repair. Restore the water supply and power, then run a full test cycle to confirm correct fill behavior with no leaking. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, pliers, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Water keeps running even after I unplug my washer. Is this the valve I need?
Yes, this is a documented symptom of a cold water inlet valve that's no longer closing properly. One customer had exactly this experience — after unplugging the washer, water continued to run, and shutting off the cold water supply valve at the wall stopped it. That confirmed the cold water inlet valve itself wasn't sealing shut, even with no power to the washer, and replacing it resolved the issue.
Should I replace the hot water valve at the same time?
It's worth considering, especially if both valves are the same age. Several customers have replaced both the hot and cold valves together in a single repair, since they're mounted in the same area and access is already open — one customer described it as "very quick & easy" to do both at once.
Is this a difficult repair?
No, this is a straightforward repair. Multiple customers describe it as easy, typically secured with just a few screws and simple electrical clamp connections — one review specifically noted the whole job took about 20 minutes.
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 solenoid design, flow rate, and connection type of the cold water inlet valve originally installed in your washer.

W10599356 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Water Inlet Valve
The W10599356 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM water inlet valve for Whirlpool-built front-load washers, including full-size and compact models. This valve sits at the back of the washer where the hot and cold water supply hoses connect, and it's the gatekeeper for every drop of water that enters the drum. When the control calls for water, it energizes the valve's solenoid coils to open the hot side, the cold side, or both together, and closes them again once the correct fill level is reached. A valve that won't open leaves you with no fill at all; a valve that won't fully close can let water trickle or flow into the drum even when the cycle isn't calling for it.
Over time, mineral deposits and sediment from the water supply can build up inside the valve body and prevent it from sealing fully, the internal solenoid coil can burn out electrically, and the rubber diaphragm or seal inside can simply wear out with age. A failing valve on this platform commonly triggers an F8 E1 or similar fill-related error code, since the control expects water to reach the correct level within a set time and flags it when that doesn't happen. It directly replaces AP5692067, 3023192, PS8689091, and W10509710. As a genuine OEM part, the W10599356 is manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.
Quick Answer
The W10599356 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Water Inlet Valve fixes Whirlpool-built front-load washers that won't fill, fill slowly, overfill, leak water into the drum when the cycle isn't running, or throw an F8 E1 or similar fill-related error code. Solenoid-actuated water inlet valve for the hot and cold supply connections. Replaces AP5692067, 3023192, PS8689091, W10509710. Consider replacing the fill hoses at the same time — they wear on a similar schedule and share the same access point.
Common Problems This Part Fixes

Installation Notes
⚠️ Shut Off Water Supply And Unplug Washer Before Starting — Have A Towel Ready Unplug the washer or shut off its circuit breaker, and shut off both the hot and cold water supply valves before beginning. Wear work gloves. Disconnect the hot and cold water supply lines from the back of the valve first — have a towel or shallow pan ready, since residual water will spill out. Use a 1/4" nut driver or socket to remove the rear screws securing the top panel, then slide the panel back and lift it off to access the valve from inside the cabinet. Photograph the wiring connections before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the electrical connector from the old valve, remove the mounting screw or bracket (often a T-20 Torx screw), and pull the valve free from its mounting position. Install the new W10599356 in the same orientation, secure the mounting screw, and reconnect the electrical connector fully. Reattach the hot and cold water supply lines to the correct ports, tightening securely by hand plus a partial turn with pliers. Reinstall the top panel, restore the water supply, and check every connection you touched for leaks before restoring power. Run a short cycle and confirm the tub fills at the normal rate with no leaking underneath or behind the washer. While everything is accessible, consider replacing the fill hoses as well, since they wear on a similar schedule. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver or socket, T-20 Torx bit, pliers, towel or shallow pan, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer shows an F8 E1 error. Does that mean the valve is definitely bad?
It's a strong indicator, but check the basics first. F8 E1 and similar fill-related codes generally mean the control didn't see water reach the expected level within its allotted fill time. Before replacing the valve, confirm both hot and cold supply valves at the wall are fully open, check the inlet screens inside the valve ports for sediment or debris, and make sure the fill hoses aren't kinked. If those check out and the washer still won't fill properly, the inlet valve itself is the likely cause.
Water keeps trickling into the drum even when the washer is off. Is that the valve?
Yes, this is one of the classic symptoms of a valve that isn't sealing fully closed. Mineral deposits, sediment, or a worn internal diaphragm can prevent the valve from shutting off completely, letting a slow trickle of water continue into the drum between cycles. This can eventually lead to an overfill or water pooling at the front of the washer, so it's worth addressing promptly rather than waiting.
Only hot or only cold water isn't coming in. Do I need to replace the whole valve?
Usually yes. Most washer inlet valves use two separate solenoid coils in one housing — one for hot, one for cold — but they're not typically sold as separately replaceable coils. If just one side has stopped working while the other functions normally, that still points to a failure inside this valve assembly, and replacing the complete unit is the standard repair.
Should I replace the fill hoses while I'm in there?
It's a good idea. The fill hoses connect right at the same point you'll already have exposed, wear on a similar timeline as the valve, and are a common source of slow leaks that get blamed on the valve. Since you're already accessing this area, replacing hoses that show any cracking, bulging, or stiffness saves you from repeating the disassembly later.
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 solenoid design, seal, and flow-rate calibration as the water inlet valve originally installed in your front-load washer.

The W11175771 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM water inlet valve for Whirlpool, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Amana, Crosley, Magic Chef, and Inglis dishwashers, located behind the lower kick plate panel in either the right or left corner. This valve controls the flow of water into the appliance during the wash cycle — an electrical solenoid plunger opens and closes the valve to admit exactly the right amount of water at the appropriate stages of the dishwasher's cycle.
Measuring approximately 3.37" in height, this is a superseding part, replacing the earlier W10872255 and W11130744 valve numbers so older models can be updated with the current version. Over time, a screen inside the valve can become clogged with sediment — this screen isn't designed to be cleaned or serviced, so a clog means the whole valve needs to be replaced. A failing valve produces a clear set of symptoms: the dishwasher not filling with enough water or not filling at all, leaking into the dishwasher while not in use, or overfilling with too much water. It directly replaces AP6339872, W10195047, W10327250, W10872255, W11130744, W10327249, W10316814, and W11130743.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dishwasher And Shut Off Water Supply Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker, and shut off the water supply before beginning. Wear work gloves. Remove the bottom front kick plate to access the interior, where the valve is located behind the panel in either the right or left corner depending on your model. Photograph the wiring and hose connections before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the water line, the electrical connector, and remove the mounting screws securing the old valve, then pull it free. Install the new W11175771 in the same position, securely reconnect the water line and electrical connector, and secure the mounting screws. While you're in this area, it's worth inspecting the water supply adapter for wear, since it's a related part in the same location that's easy to check while everything is already accessible. Reinstall the kick plate, restore the water supply and power, then run a test cycle to confirm the dishwasher fills correctly with no leaks. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, pliers, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dishwasher isn't filling with water at all. Is this the right part?
Yes, this is the most direct symptom of a failed water inlet valve. Since this valve is what admits water from your household supply into the dishwasher, a solenoid failure or internal blockage can prevent any water from entering at all, stopping the wash cycle from proceeding.
Can I just clean the valve's screen instead of replacing the whole thing?
No — the screen inside this valve isn't designed to be cleaned or serviced. If it becomes clogged with sediment from your household water supply, the entire valve should be replaced rather than attempting to clean or repair the screen itself.
My dishwasher makes a high-pitched whining sound while filling. Is that this valve?
Yes, this is a documented symptom of a failing water inlet valve. One customer specifically traced an "obnoxious high-pitched whining sound when filling with water" to this exact valve and resolved it with a straightforward replacement in about 15 minutes.
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 solenoid design, flow rate, and connection type of the water inlet valve originally installed in your dishwasher.
