XPARTCO 691366 Dryer Idler Pulley Assembly Replaces WP691366 The XPARTCO 691366 is an aftermarket replacement dryer idler pulley assembly compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool-family dryers — particularly models with the lint filter on top — including Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, Roper, Crosley, Estate, Inglis, Admiral, Magic Chef, and Norge. The idler pulley assembly is a spring-tensioned arm and wheel that presses against the drum drive belt to maintain correct belt tension as it wraps around the drum and motor pulley. Without proper tension, the belt slips off the motor pulley, causing the drum to stop spinning. A worn idler pulley bearing also causes squealing, squeaking, or thumping noises during operation. This is a complete idler arm and pulley assembly — it includes both the spring arm and the wheel, and mounts directly to the existing bracket in the dryer. Overall dimensions are 6"L x 1-5/8"W x 3-7/8"H with a 1-7/8" diameter pulley wheel. It replaces older Teflon friction-style idler pulleys and provides a smoother, longer-lasting ball-bearing wheel. It directly replaces WP691366, 691366, 239477, 337116, 337407, 3394332, 347034, 347226, 4319391, 688166, W10612905, AP6010582, PS11743765, and over 20 additional cross-reference numbers. Often replaced together with the drum belt (341241) and drum support rollers (349241T) as the 4392065 maintenance kit. Installs in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools.

Remove the lint screen and unscrew the screws inside the lint screen housing. Use a putty knife to release the top panel spring clips and lift the top panel. Remove the front panel to fully access the drum drive components. Release belt tension by pushing the idler pulley arm toward the motor and sliding the belt off. Note how the belt is routed before removing — take a photo. Unclip or unscrew the old idler pulley assembly from its mounting bracket. Install the new 691366 idler pulley in the same position. Re-route the belt around the drum (ribbed side in), under the idler pulley, and around the motor pulley, then release the idler arm to create tension. Reassemble the front and top panels, restore power, and run a test cycle. Tip: while the dryer is open, inspect and replace the drum belt (341241) and drum support rollers (349241T) if worn. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" or 5/16" nut driver, putty knife. Frequently Asked Questions What does the idler pulley do? The idler pulley is a spring-loaded arm and wheel assembly that presses against the drive belt between the drum and the motor pulley, keeping the belt under constant tension. This tension is what allows the belt to grip both the drum and the motor pulley without slipping as the motor spins. Without proper tension — or with a pulley bearing that has failed — the belt slips, the drum stops spinning, and the dryer produces heat but does not tumble clothes. A worn bearing also creates the high-pitched squealing sound that is the most common sign of idler pulley failure. What is the difference between 691366 and WP691366? These are the same idler pulley assembly. WP691366 is the updated Whirlpool OEM part number that superseded the original 691366. The W10612905 is also a cross-reference for the same assembly. This aftermarket replacement is compatible with all three numbers. What is the difference between 691366 and W10837240? Both are Whirlpool dryer idler pulley assemblies, but for different dryer generations. The 691366 (WP691366) is used on older Whirlpool-family dryers with the lint filter on top of the dryer. The W10837240 is a larger, redesigned idler arm and bracket assembly used on newer Whirlpool-family dryers with the lint screen inside the door. They are not interchangeable. Always verify your model number to confirm which idler pulley is correct for your dryer. Should I also replace the belt and drum rollers at the same time? Yes — since the dryer must be disassembled to replace the idler pulley, this is the ideal time to also inspect and replace the drum belt (341241) and rear drum support rollers (349241T). All three parts are part of the same drum drive system and wear at similar rates. The 4392065 maintenance kit includes all three together and is the recommended approach for a complete drum drive repair — one teardown covers everything. 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 with a ball-bearing pulley wheel to match the dimensions and performance of the original WP691366 idler pulley assembly.

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.

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.

Genuine OEM W11511154 Dryer Drive Motor The W11511154 is a genuine OEM dryer drum drive motor from Whirlpool, with the pulley for the drum belt included. It is the motor that turns the drum through the drive belt and also drives the blower that moves air through the dryer. When it fails or weakens, the dryer may not start, hum without turning, run loudly, stop partway through a cycle, or leave clothes damp because the drum or airflow isn't running properly. This is a genuine OEM part, not an aftermarket equivalent, so the fit and the motor match what came with the dryer. It replaces several earlier Whirlpool drive motor numbers, including W11364931 and W11086656, both of which are now replaced by this number.

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.

XPARTCO WE25X205 Dryer Drum Bearing The XPARTCO WE25X205 is an aftermarket replacement rear drum bearing kit for GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore electric and gas dryers. The rear drum bearing supports the back of the drum and lets it turn smoothly and quietly as the belt drives it. When the bearing wears out, the drum starts to squeal, rumble, or grind while it turns, and a badly worn bearing can let the drum sit unevenly or scrape. This is a direct-fit aftermarket replacement for the original GE kit. GE's catalog lists WE25X205 as superseded to WE25M40, and this listing covers both numbers. Because the drum has to come out to reach the bearing, it is a good time to inspect the drum belt, idler pulley, and drum glides and replace any that look worn. Quick Answer The XPARTCO WE25X205 Dryer Drum Bearing fixes a GE, Hotpoint, or Kenmore dryer that squeals, rumbles, or grinds when the drum turns. It replaces the rear drum bearing and is also listed under WE25M40. Classic symptom: a loud squeal or rumble that follows the drum and is there with or without heat. Common Problems This Part Fixes Loud squealing or squeaking while the drum turns Rumbling or grinding noise from the back of the dryer Drum that wobbles, drags, or doesn't turn smoothly Excess vibration during a cycle Noise that continues even when the dryer is running without heat Cross Reference Information Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models. For your convenience, we've included any known superseded, alternate, or cross-reference part numbers that match this item. Replaces Part Numbers This drum bearing kit directly replaces the following part numbers: WE25M40, WE25X205, 784658, WE01X0462, WE01X0463, WE02X0195, WE03M0015, WE03M0065, WE03X0022, WE03X0028, WE03X0031, WE03X0035, WE03X0036, WE03X0039, WE03X0065, WE11X0056, WE11X56, WE1X462, WE1X463, WE25M0040, WE25M40-25PK, WE25X0062, WE25X0205, WE25X205E, WE25X205R, WE25X62, WE25X62R, WE2X195, WE2X195D, WE3M15, WE3M65, WE3X22, WE3X28, WE3X31, WE3X35, WE3X36, WE3X39, WE3X65, AGE25888, AH267529, AP2619300, DE725, EA267529, EAP267529, PD00001078, PS267529, AFP1161113 These numbers span several generations of GE's own part numbering for this bearing kit. Older numbers beyond WE25X205 and WE25M40 are drawn from a retailer cross-reference, so confirm against your dryer's parts diagram or contact our support team if your model calls out a different number. Compatibility This bearing kit is listed for GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore dryer models, including these examples: GE DDG9680RCM, DDG8580RCM, DDP1380GFM, DDE058DGAL, DDE8200GBL GE DHSR333GV0WB, DWXQ473T0WW, DPXR475EW0AA, DPXR475EW0WW, DPSR475EW0AA Note: The models above are a sample, not a full list. Retailers also reference this kit for some Fisher & Paykel dryers, which we could not confirm by model. Enter your model number at checkout or contact our support team to verify fit before ordering. Key Features Direct-fit aftermarket rear drum bearing kit for GE-built dryers Restores smooth, quiet drum rotation Covers both WE25X205 and its superseding number, WE25M40 Fixes squealing, rumbling, and grinding drum noise Fits GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore dryers Product Specifications Part Number WE25X205 OEM Part Number WE25X205, WE25M40 Part Type Dryer Rear Drum Bearing Kit Condition Aftermarket Replacement Location Rear of Drum Application GE, Hotpoint & Kenmore Dryers Installation Notes ⚠️ Unplug Power Before Installing Unplug the dryer before beginning, and shut off the gas supply first on gas models. Wear work gloves, as the cabinet edges are sharp. Remove the top and front panel as shown in your model's service guide, then lift the drum belt off and slide the drum out, which is easier with a second person. Remove the old rear bearing from the back panel, install the new one in the same position, and reassemble in reverse order. Check the belt, idler pulley, and drum glides while the drum is out and replace any that are worn. Plan on about 30 minutes to 1 hour. Frequently Asked Questions My dryer squeals when the drum turns. Is this the part I need? A squeal that follows the drum is most often a worn rear drum bearing, though a worn idler pulley or drum glides can make similar noise. If you can spin the drum by hand and feel roughness or hear grinding, the bearing is a likely cause. What's the difference between WE25X205 and WE25M40? GE's catalog lists WE25X205 as superseded to WE25M40, and retailers list them as interchangeable. This listing covers both numbers. Should I replace the drum belt at the same time? It's a good idea. The drum has to come out to reach the bearing, so this is the easiest time to inspect the belt, idler pulley, and drum glides and replace anything worn. Will this fit my dryer? It is listed for many GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore dryers, but the model list above is only a sample.

XPARTCO DD31-00016A Dishwasher Drain Pump Motor The XPARTCO DD31-00016A is an aftermarket replacement BLDC (brushless DC) drain pump motor for Samsung dishwashers. This motor removes water from the dishwasher tub during the drain phase of the cycle — an impeller mechanism pumps water out through the drain hose, running during the draining phase to ensure a constant, steady flow and help prevent clogs. Weighs approximately 0.50 lbs, with package dimensions of 4.02" x 3.50" x 3.54". Compatible with 120V and 230V systems. Common causes of failure include worn motor bearings, electrical failure, or debris obstructing the impeller. Symptoms of a failing drain pump motor include water not draining from the tub, standing water left after a cycle, unusual noise during the drain phase, or intermittent draining problems that don't happen every cycle. It directly replaces AP5917178, 113121, 4000925, EAP9606350, PS9606350, ASM773863, PD00036475, and 045900194701. Quick Answer The XPARTCO DD31-00016A Dishwasher Drain Pump Motor fixes Samsung dishwashers that aren't draining, leave standing water after a cycle, make unusual noise during draining, or have intermittent draining problems.

When removing the old motor, you'll need to hold a release tab open while twisting the motor counterclockwise at the same time — this two-handed step trips up a lot of first-time installers. Common Problems This Part Fixes Dishwasher not draining water from the tub Standing water left in the tub after a completed cycle Unusual noise during the drain phase Intermittent draining problems that don't occur every cycle Reduced water circulation and cleaning performance Cross Reference Information Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models. For your convenience, we've included any known superseded, alternate, or cross-reference part numbers that match this item. Replaces Part Numbers This dishwasher drain pump motor directly replaces the following OEM and cross-reference part numbers: DD31-00016A, 113121, 4000925, AP5917178, ASM773863, EAP9606350, PD00036475, PS9606350 If your part number is not listed above, contact our support team before ordering and we will verify compatibility. Compatibility This drain pump motor is compatible with select Samsung dishwashers, including model numbers such as DW80R9950QH/AA, DW80B7070UG/AA, DW80R9950MT/AA, DW80B6061UG/AA, DW80R9950QN/AA, DW80B7070US/AA, DW80B6061US/AA, DW80B7071UG/AA, DW80B6060US/AA, DW80B6060UG/AA, DW80BB7070U1/AA, DW80B7070AP/AA, DW80B7071US/AA, DW80R7061UG/AA, DDW24T999BB/DA, DDW24M999UM/DA, DDW24T998US/DA, DDW24M999US/DA, DW60M9990AP, and DW80B6060UG. Note: This part is not a replacement for any earlier designation — per Samsung's own listing, DD31-00016A is a new part that doesn't supersede another part number. Always verify your full model number before ordering. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure. Key Features Aftermarket replacement BLDC (brushless DC) drain pump motor Resolves "won't drain," "standing water," "unusual noise," and "intermittent draining" symptoms Impeller mechanism pumps water out through the drain hose to prevent clogs Compatible with 120V and 230V systems Direct drop-in replacement matching the original mounting and connections Replaces AP5917178, 113121, 4000925, EAP9606350, PS9606350, ASM773863, PD00036475, and 045900194701 Compatible with Samsung dishwashers Aftermarket replacement built to OEM-equivalent quality standards Typical repair takes 30 to 60 minutes Product Specifications Part Number XPDD31-00016A OEM Part Number DD31-00016A Part Type Dishwasher Drain Pump Motor (BLDC) Condition Aftermarket Replacement Brand Samsung Motor Type Brushless DC (BLDC) Voltage Compatibility 120V / 230V Weight Approx. 0.50 lbs Package Dimensions 4.02" x 3.50" x 3.54" Repair Difficulty Moderate — 30 to 60 minutes Quantity 1 drain pump motor Compatible Brand Samsung Installation Notes ⚠️ Unplug Dishwasher And Shut Off Water Supply Before Starting — This Step Needs Two Hands Turn off and unplug the dishwasher for safety, and shut off the water supply before beginning. Wear work gloves. Remove any panels or components blocking access to the motor pump. Disconnect all wiring from the old motor. Removing the old motor requires holding a release tab open while simultaneously twisting the motor counterclockwise — this two-handed step trips up a lot of first-time installers, so take it slowly and make sure the tab stays held open through the full twist. Once free, remove the old motor. Install the new DD31-00016A securely in the same mounting position. Reconnect all wiring according to the original connections. Reinstall any panels or components removed for access. Restore the water supply and power, then run a test cycle to confirm the dishwasher drains completely with no leaks or unusual noise. Tools needed: screwdriver, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions My dishwasher isn't draining. Is this the part I need? Yes, this is the most direct symptom of a failed drain pump motor. Since this motor is what removes water from the tub during the drain phase, a worn or failed motor can leave standing water behind or prevent the cycle from completing properly. My dishwasher's drainage problem only happens sometimes. Could this still be the motor? Yes, this is possible. One customer replaced this exact motor to address an intermittent draining issue, noting it was somewhat of a guess since the problem didn't occur every cycle. Intermittent symptoms can still point to a motor that's beginning to fail rather than one that's failed completely, though it's worth noting the customer wasn't fully certain the replacement resolved their specific issue. What's the trickiest part of installing this motor? Removing the old motor requires holding a release tab open while twisting the motor counterclockwise at the same time — a two-handed maneuver that one customer specifically called out as the biggest challenge of the whole repair. Taking it slowly and keeping steady pressure on the tab through the full twist makes this easier. 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 motor design, impeller mechanism, and voltage compatibility of the original DD31-00016A drain pump motor used in compatible Samsung dishwashers.

XPARTCO 279640 Dryer Idler Pulley The XPARTCO 279640 is an aftermarket replacement dryer idler pulley (also called a belt tension pulley wheel) compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool-family dryers including Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Crosley, Inglis, and Admiral. The idler pulley is spring-tensioned against the drive belt to maintain correct tension as the belt wraps around the drum — allowing the drum to rotate smoothly and quietly. When the idler pulley bearing wears out, the belt loses proper tension and the dryer begins making squealing, squeaking, or clunking noises, and the drum may eventually stop spinning. This pulley is constructed from sturdy plastic with a metal bearing and measures 1-7/8" L x 3/4" W x 1-7/8" H. The kit includes the greased pulley wheel, washer, and tri-ring retaining clip — everything needed for a complete replacement. It mounts directly to the existing idler arm on compatible models. Note: this is the pulley wheel only, not the full idler arm assembly. On some newer Whirlpool models, the complete W10837240 idler pulley arm assembly may be required instead. Quick Answer The XPARTCO 279640 Dryer Idler Pulley fixes Whirlpool-family dryers that are squealing, squeaking, clunking, or have a drum that won't spin due to improper belt tension. Plastic body with metal bearing. 1-7/8" L x 3/4" W x 1-7/8" H. Kit includes pulley, washer, and tri-ring clip. Compatible with Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Crosley, Inglis, and Admiral dryers. Pulley only — not the full arm assembly. Common Problems This Part Fixes Loud squealing or squeaking noise when dryer is running Clunking or thumping sound during the drying cycle Dryer drum not spinning — belt slips or loses tension when pulley bearing fails Belt repeatedly slipping off due to improper tension Dryer drum spinning intermittently and stopping while the motor continues to run Excessive vibration or shaking during the drying cycle Visible wear, cracking, flat spots, or a pulley wheel that no longer spins freely on its shaft Replaces Part Numbers This idler pulley directly replaces the following OEM and cross-reference part numbers: 279640, 279640VP, 2958, 3388672, 697692, TJ279640, W10468057, AH334244, EA334244, ER279640, AWP39098, PD00002356, EAP334244, AP3094197, PS334244. If your part number is not listed above, contact our support team before ordering and we will verify compatibility. Compatibility This idler pulley is compatible with select dryers from the following brands: Whirlpool dryers (gas and electric) Kenmore / Sears dryers (select Whirlpool-built models) Maytag dryers (gas and electric) KitchenAid dryers Amana dryers Crosley dryers Inglis dryers Admiral dryers Important: The 279640 is a pulley wheel only — it mounts to the existing idler arm on compatible models. Some newer Whirlpool-family dryers (particularly models with the lint screen inside the door) require the complete W10837240 idler pulley arm and bracket assembly instead. If your model calls for W10837240, order that part rather than the 279640 pulley alone. Key Features Maintains correct tension on the drive belt for smooth, quiet drum rotation every cycle Plastic body with metal bearing — durable construction resists wear and heat damage Dimensions: 1-7/8" L x 3/4" W x 1-7/8" H — direct replacement for the original 279640 Kit includes greased pulley wheel, washer, and tri-ring retaining clip — ready to install Pulley comes pre-greased — no additional lubrication required Mounts directly to existing idler arm on compatible Whirlpool-family models Compatible with Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Crosley, Inglis, and Admiral dryers Aftermarket replacement built to OEM-equivalent quality standards Often replaced together with the drum belt (341241 or 661570V) for a complete drum drive repair DIY-friendly repair — installs in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools Product Specifications Part Number 279640 Part Type Dryer Idler Pulley Wheel (Belt Tension Pulley) Condition Aftermarket Replacement Application Gas and Electric Dryers Dimensions 1-7/8" L x 3/4" W x 1-7/8" H Material Plastic body / Metal bearing Color White Lubrication no additional lubrication required Includes Pulley wheel, washer, and tri-ring retaining clip Note Pulley wheel only — not the full arm assembly (see W10837240 for arm assembly) Compatible Brands Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Crosley, Inglis, Admiral Often Replaced With 341241 or 661570V Drum Belt Installation Notes ⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting Unplug the dryer from the power outlet (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 belt tension from the idler pulley, then lift the drum and slide the belt off. Remove the tri-ring retaining clip from the idler arm shaft using needle-nose pliers, then slide the old pulley wheel off the shaft. Slide the new 279640 pulley wheel onto the idler arm shaft, reinstall the washer, and press the new tri-ring clip onto the shaft to secure the pulley. Re-route the drum belt around the new pulley and motor pulley, reinstall the drum, and reassemble the dryer. Run a test cycle to verify quiet operation. Tip: While the dryer is open, inspect the drum belt for wear and replace if needed. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, putty knife, small flat-head screwdriver, needle-nose pliers. Frequently Asked Questions What is the difference between the 279640 pulley and the W10837240 idler assembly? The 279640 is just the pulley wheel — it replaces only the wheel on the existing idler arm and is used on older Whirlpool-family dryer models. The W10837240 is a complete idler arm and bracket assembly used on newer Whirlpool-family models (particularly those with the lint screen inside the door). If your dryer originally used the 279640, order this part. If your parts diagram calls for W10837240, order that assembly instead — the 279640 pulley alone will not fit the newer arm design. What does the idler pulley do? The idler pulley is a spring-tensioned wheel mounted on the idler arm inside the dryer. It presses against the drive belt to keep the correct amount of tension on the belt as it wraps around the drum. Without proper tension, the belt slips, the drum spins unevenly, or the drum stops spinning entirely. A worn pulley bearing also causes squealing, squeaking, or clunking noises during operation. Should I replace the drum belt at the same time? Yes — since the dryer is already disassembled, this is the ideal time to inspect and replace the drum belt (341241 or 661570V depending on your model). The belt and idler pulley wear at similar rates, and a worn belt on a new pulley significantly shortens the life of the new part. Replacing both together in a single repair also saves you from having to disassemble the dryer again shortly after. Why is my dryer squealing? A high-pitched squeal when the dryer starts or runs is one of the most common signs of a worn idler pulley bearing. As the bearing wears, it creates friction and noise against the shaft. The squeal typically gets louder over time and may eventually turn into a grinding or clunking sound as the bearing fails further. Replacing the idler pulley is usually the fix in these cases, and is much less expensive than a service call. 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 with a metal bearing to match the dimensions and performance of the original 279640 idler pulley.

W10500004 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Bottom Door Hinge & Cam Kit (Right, Gray) The W10500004 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM bottom door hinge and closing cam kit for the right side fresh food door on Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral refrigerators. This kit combines two related components: the bottom hinge, which supports the door's weight and lets it swing open and closed, and the closing cam, a plastic component that gives the door its final "pull" to close firmly on its own once you've pushed it most of the way shut. Finished in Apollo Gray, this kit measures approximately 4.65" x 4.49" x 2.24" and weighs about 0.34 lbs. The plastic closing cam is the part most prone to wear — after years of use it can flatten out or crack, losing the contoured shape that pulls the door the rest of the way closed. A worn cam or hinge typically shows up as a door that won't close fully on its own unless you push it firmly shut, or a door that feels loose, sags, or doesn't swing smoothly on its hinge. It directly replaces AP5656407, 2684526, PS5573850, W10249949, W10257197, and W10257209. Quick Answer The W10500004 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Bottom Door Hinge & Cam Kit (Right, Gray) fixes Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral refrigerators where the right-side fresh food door won't close on its own unless pushed firmly shut, or the door feels loose or sags on its hinge. Apollo Gray finish. Replaces AP5656407, 2684526, PS5573850, W10249949, W10257197, W10257209. Mounting the closing cam requires a new screw, sold separately — the kit does not include it. Common Problems This Part Fixes Refrigerator door won't close fully on its own — has to be pushed firmly shut Door that feels loose, sags, or doesn't swing smoothly on its hinge Worn or flattened closing cam that no longer pulls the door shut Visible cracks or wear on the plastic closing cam Door that doesn't seal properly due to incomplete closing Cross Reference Information Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models.

Wear work gloves. Remove the top hinge cover, then remove the top hinge support to free the top of the door. Lift the door up and off the bottom hinge support to remove it completely — this is easier with a second person supporting the door's weight. Remove the old, worn closing cam and hinge from the bottom support. The manufacturer specifies that mounting the new closing cam requires a new screw, which is not included in this kit and must be ordered separately. Install the new W10500004 hinge and cam onto the bottom support, applying a small amount of lubricant such as petroleum jelly to the cam surface to help it move smoothly against the door once reassembled. Set the door back onto the bottom hinge support, making sure it seats correctly on the new cam. Reinstall the top hinge support and top hinge cover. Restore power and test the door by opening it partway and letting go — it should swing the rest of the way closed on its own if the cam is seated and lubricated correctly. Tools needed: 5/16" nut driver or socket, ratchet, small flat-blade screwdriver, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions My door won't close all the way unless I push it. Is this the right part? Yes, this is the classic symptom of a worn closing cam. When the cam is new, its contoured shape gives the door that final "pull" to swing closed on its own once you've pushed it most of the way shut. As the cam wears flat or cracks over years of use, it loses that pulling action, leaving the door to stay open unless you close it firmly by hand. Do I need to buy anything else along with this kit? Yes — per Whirlpool's own specifications, mounting the new closing cam requires a new mounting screw, which is sold separately and not included in this kit. Order that screw at the same time to avoid a delay partway through the repair. Should I lubricate anything during installation? Yes, it's recommended. Applying a small amount of lubricant, such as petroleum jelly, to the cam surface helps it move smoothly against the door once everything is reassembled, and can extend the life of the new cam by reducing friction wear. 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 hinge design, cam shape, and Apollo Gray finish of the bottom door hinge and cam kit originally installed on your refrigerator.

Genuine OEM WR60X27396 Refrigerator Air Damper Assembly The WR60X27396 is a genuine OEM air damper assembly for GE refrigerators, including side-by-side and bottom-mount models. The damper is a motorized flap that opens and closes to direct cold air from the freezer into the fresh food compartment, which is how the refrigerator keeps the fresh food section at the right temperature. When it sticks open or closed, or its motor stops working, the compartments fall out of balance: the fresh food section can run too warm or too cold, frost can build up, and the damper may make noise as it moves. This is a genuine OEM part from GE Appliances, not an aftermarket equivalent, so the fit and operation match the original. It supersedes the earlier WR31X20918 damper assembly.

Following your model's service guide, remove the panels or covers needed to reach the damper, which sits in the air path between the freezer and the fresh food section. Note the position of the old damper, disconnect its wiring connector, and remove the fasteners holding it in place. Install the new damper in the same position, reconnect the connector, and replace the panels. Restore power and allow time for the temperatures to stabilize before judging the repair. Frequently Asked Questions My freezer is cold but the fresh food section is warm. Is this the part I need? It can be. If the damper is stuck closed, not enough cold air reaches the fresh food section. Before replacing it, check that the vents aren't blocked by food and that frost isn't jamming the damper. A stuck or failed damper is a likely cause when those are clear. My fresh food section is freezing my food. Could this be the damper? Yes. A damper stuck open lets too much cold air in from the freezer, which can freeze items in the fresh food section. My old damper is marked WR31X20918. Will this work? Yes. WR31X20918 is on the Replaces list, and WR60X27396 is its current replacement. If you're unsure, contact our support team with your model number and we'll confirm. Is this a genuine GE part? Yes.
