XPARTCO 279457 Dryer Heating Element Wire Kit
The XPARTCO 279457 is an aftermarket replacement heating element connection wire kit for Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, and KitchenAid electric clothes dryers. This kit includes 2 connecting wires and 2 wire connectors that join the dryer's wiring harness to the heating element terminals. Because these connections carry the full current draw of the heating circuit, they're a common failure point — the terminals and wire insulation gradually degrade from repeated heat cycling, and a loose or corroded connection creates resistance that generates even more heat, which can melt the wire insulation or the connector itself.
This kit is the correct fix when you find burnt, melted, or brittle wiring at the heating element terminals rather than a fully failed heating element — replacing just the connection wiring is far cheaper than replacing the whole element when the element itself still tests good.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 279457 Heating Element Wire Kit fixes a dryer with no heat, inadequate heat, or overheating caused by burnt or melted wiring at the heating element connection — not a failed heating element itself. Includes 2 connection wires and 2 wire connectors. Classic symptom: a burning smell, or visibly melted/discolored wire insulation near the heating element terminals.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer not heating or producing inadequate heat
Dryer overheating or heat cycling erratically
Visibly melted, burnt, or discolored wires at the heating element connection
Burning smell during operation
Intermittent heating caused by a loose or corroded connection
Heating element itself tests fine but the dryer still won't heat properly

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Power Before Installing — High-Current Connection Unplug the dryer or switch off its circuit breaker before beginning — this connection carries the full current of the heating circuit and must never be serviced live. Remove the dryer's rear or front panel per your model's service guide to access the heating element. Inspect the existing connection wires and terminals for melting, discoloration, or brittleness — if you see any of these signs, replace both wires and connectors entirely rather than reusing any part of them. Disconnect the two old connection wires from the heating element terminals, install the two new wires in their place, and secure each wire connector firmly so both connections are tight with no exposed bare wire. A loose or poor connection is the most common root cause of this failure in the first place, so double-check the fit on both connections before closing the dryer back up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a new heating element, or just this wire kit?
If the heating element itself tests good with a multimeter but you see melted, burnt, or discolored wiring specifically at the connection point, this wire kit alone is usually the correct and much cheaper fix. If the element itself has failed (no continuity), you'll need to replace the heating element too.
Why did my heating element wires melt in the first place?
This usually happens when a connection becomes loose or corroded over time, which increases electrical resistance at that point. That resistance generates extra heat right at the connection, which can melt the wire insulation or the connector. Make sure the new connection is seated tight and secure to prevent it from happening again.
How many wires and connectors are in this kit?
This kit includes 2 connection wires and 2 wire connectors — enough to replace both terminal connections on the heating element in one kit, per the original manufacturer specification.
Is this safe to install myself?
Most DIY-capable owners can complete this repair with basic hand tools in under an hour. That said, always unplug the dryer or shut off its breaker before working on it, since this connection carries the full current of the heating circuit — never work on it while the dryer is powered.

XPARTCO W10185976 Dryer Timer Replaces WPW10185976
The XPARTCO W10185976 is an aftermarket replacement electromechanical timer for Whirlpool electric dryers, and also fits select Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, and Roper models. This timer is the sequencing brain behind the dryer's operating cycle: an internal gear motor slowly rotates cams that activate each stage of the cycle — tumbling, heating, and cool-down — at the correct intervals, for a maximum runtime of up to 60 minutes.
Beyond simple sequencing, this timer also serves a safety function: its built-in maximum runtime is what prevents the dryer from running indefinitely if something else in the system malfunctions, helping guard against overheating hazards. If the timer's internal gears or contacts jam or wear out, that safety limit can be compromised, which is one reason prompt replacement matters once a fault appears. Symptoms of a failing timer include the dryer not advancing through its cycle, running continuously without shutting off, unusual noises during operation, the dryer not starting at all, or no heat or insufficient heat. It directly replaces WPW10185976, 1481703, W10185976, WPW10185976VP, 418-616-20-B5, AP6016539, AWP49433, EAP11749829, PD00004619, PS11749829

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Mark Each Wire's Terminal Before Disconnecting Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Remove the back panel of the dryer using a 5/16" socket set. Locate the timer, typically mounted behind the control console or back panel depending on your model. Before disconnecting anything, mark or photograph each wire's terminal position — the terminals are labeled (A, B, C, H, X, T, F), but with several wires clustered together, it's easy to mix them up during reinstallation. Remove the old timer using the 5/16" socket set. Plug each wire from the harness into the corresponding terminal on the new W10185976, matching your reference marks or photo exactly. Reinstall the timer in its mounting position, then reattach the back panel. Restore power and run a full test cycle to confirm the dryer advances properly through tumbling, heating, and shutoff at the correct times. Tools needed: 5/16" socket set, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer won't shut off and keeps running. Is this the timer?
Yes, this is a well-documented symptom of a failing timer. If the internal gear motor or contacts jam, the timer can fail to advance to the "off" position at the end of the cycle, leaving the dryer running continuously. Since the timer's maximum runtime is also part of the dryer's overheat protection, a jammed timer is worth addressing promptly rather than letting the dryer keep running unattended.
How do I avoid mixing up the wires during installation?
Before disconnecting the old timer, take a clear photo of the wiring, or mark each wire with tape and a label matching its terminal letter. One customer specifically noted this step made the swap "very easy to see where they go" — the terminals themselves are labeled A, B, C, H, X, T, F, so matching your reference to those labels on the new timer keeps the process straightforward.
My dryer has no heat. Could that really be the timer instead of the heating element?
Yes, it's possible. The timer's internal contacts help control the heat circuit alongside the dryer motor and timer motor, so a fault in those contacts can result in no heat or insufficient heat even if the heating element itself is fully functional. If you've already ruled out the thermal fuse and heating element, the timer is a reasonable next component to check.
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 terminal layout, gear motor mechanism, and maximum runtime rating of the original WPW10185976 timer used in compatible Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, and related electric dryers.

This high-quality replacement drum support roller, designed for select Samsung and Kenmore dryers, supports the dryer drum for stable rotation during drying cycles. Made of durable plastic, rubber, and metal with a self-lubricating bushing and upgraded ball bearing, it reduces noise and wear. It fixes issues like loud squeaking or rumbling noises, drum not tumbling smoothly, or marks on clothes due to misalignment. Note: Includes one roller, shaft, and two tri-rings; each dryer uses four rollers, so replace in sets (front or rear pairs). Inspect the drum, belt (e.g., 6602-001655), and idler pulley (e.g., DC93-00634A) for wear. Clean lint from the drum and cabinet to prevent overheating.

XPARTCO WE05X20431 Dryer Light Bulb
The XPARTCO WE05X20431 is an aftermarket replacement drum light bulb for GE, Hotpoint, Whirlpool, and Kenmore dryers. Also called a drum lamp, this small bulb mounts inside the dryer cabinet and illuminates the drum whenever the door is opened, making it easy to spot small items and confirm the drum is fully empty before starting a new load. It's a simple part, but when it burns out it's easy to notice — you open the door and the interior stays dark.
Rated 10W at 120V with an E12 (candelabra) base, measuring approximately 1-5/8"H x 5/8"W x 5/8"D. Like any incandescent bulb, it will eventually burn out from normal use and the heat it's exposed to inside a working dryer. It directly replaces WE4M305, WE4X718, WE04X718, WE04X0718, WE04M0305, AP3794707, AP5956400, 1063664, AH960329, EA960329, PS960329, and PS10063224.

The XPARTCO WE05X20431 Dryer Light Bulb fixes GE, Hotpoint, Whirlpool, and Kenmore dryers where the interior drum light doesn't turn on when the door is opened. 10W, 120V, E12 base.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Let The Old Bulb Cool First Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. If the dryer was recently run, allow the bulb to cool before touching it. Locate the light fixture inside the top section of the dryer interior. Unscrew the old bulb by turning it three to four turns to release it from the socket. When installing the new bulb, it cannot be screwed straight in — lean it at roughly a 45-degree angle to engage the socket threads, then turn it to seat and tighten. Avoid touching the glass directly with bare fingers if possible, since oils can shorten bulb life. Restore power and open the dryer door to confirm the light turns on. Tools needed: none.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why won't the new bulb screw in straight?
This is normal for this fixture — the socket is angled, so the bulb needs to go in at roughly a 45-degree tilt to catch the threads properly rather than straight on. Once you find that angle, it threads in and seats normally.
Do I need any tools to replace this bulb?
No. This is a simple screw-in bulb replacement with no tools required — just unplug the dryer, unscrew the old bulb, and screw in the new one at the correct angle.
The light still doesn't work after I replaced the bulb. What else could it be?
If a new bulb doesn't resolve the issue, check the door switch that controls the light circuit, and confirm the socket and wiring aren't damaged. These are separate components from the bulb itself and would need to be diagnosed independently.
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 wattage, voltage, base type, and dimensions of the original WE05X20431 bulb used in compatible GE, Hotpoint, Whirlpool, and Kenmore dryers.
