XPARTCO WB13K10003 Surface Burner Spark Electrode
The XPARTCO WB13K10003 is an aftermarket replacement spark electrode for the surface burners on GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore gas ranges. The electrode is the small ceramic-tipped component mounted at the burner head that actually creates the spark: when you turn the burner knob, the range's spark module sends a rapid series of high-voltage electrical pulses to the electrode, which arcs across a small gap to the metal burner cap. That spark ignites the gas flowing from the burner, and the clicking sound you hear while the knob is turned is literally the sound of that spark firing over and over until the burner catches.
Because the electrode's ceramic insulator is what keeps that high-voltage pulse contained to a precise spark path, even small damage matters: a hairline crack in the ceramic can let voltage leak to ground instead of arcing at the tip, carbon and grease buildup on the tip can insulate it just enough to weaken the spark, and the metal tip itself can corrode or erode after years of sparking. A failing electrode typically shows up as a burner that clicks normally but is slow to catch, catches with a small "whoof" as gas builds up before ignition, or doesn't spark at all while the other burners on the same range work fine. It directly replaces AP2020574, 244911, AH231266, EA231266, and PS231266. GE's internal part number for this electrode is WG02F05048.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WB13K10003 Surface Burner Spark Electrode fixes GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore gas ranges where a specific burner clicks but won't light, sparks weakly or intermittently, or ignites with a delayed "whoof" instead of catching right away. Ceramic-tipped spark electrode for the surface burner. Replaces AP2020574, 244911, AH231266, EA231266, PS231266. If a burner doesn't click at all, the problem is more likely the spark module or igniter switch — not this electrode.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
A specific surface burner clicks but won't ignite, while other burners work fine
Burner sparks weakly, intermittently, or only from certain knob positions
Delayed ignition — a noticeable pause with gas smell before the burner catches with a "whoof"
Clicking sound that continues well after the burner has already lit
Visible carbon buildup, grease, or discoloration on the electrode tip
Cracked, chipped, or damaged ceramic insulator visible at the base of the electrode
Electrode tip that looks corroded, pitted, or eroded compared to a new one
No spark at all from one specific burner position

Note: GE uses several visually similar spark electrodes across its gas range lineup that differ in overall length and mounting angle — for example, a related electrode sold under WB13K10014 is used on other burner positions and model platforms. Some customers have reported this electrode arriving slightly longer than the original but still fitting with room to spare; if your range has very tight clearance underneath, verify your exact model number and burner position before ordering. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Danger — Gas Appliance Turn off the gas supply to the range at the shutoff valve and unplug the range (or shut off its circuit breaker) before beginning any work near the burners or gas line. After reassembly, check every disturbed connection for leaks using a soapy water solution — bubbling indicates a leak. If you ever smell gas at any point during this repair, do not attempt to light the range or operate any switches; leave the area immediately and contact your gas utility or a qualified technician.
⚠️ Handle The Ceramic Insulator Carefully Wear work gloves. Remove the burner grate and burner cap from the affected position to access the electrode underneath. Photograph the electrode's mounting position and wire connection before removing anything. Most electrodes are held in place with a single screw and connect to the spark module via a simple push-on wire terminal — disconnect the wire first, then remove the mounting screw and lift the old electrode free. The ceramic insulator is more fragile than it looks; avoid gripping or prying on it directly, and handle it by the mounting bracket instead. Install the new WB13K10003 in the same position and orientation, making sure the tip sits at the correct gap and angle relative to the burner cap — too far and the spark won't reach the gas port, too close and it can short against the burner base. Reconnect the wire terminal, secure the mounting screw, and reinstall the burner cap and grate. Restore the gas supply and power, then test ignition at that burner position and check for leaks at any connection you touched before considering the job complete. Tools needed: Phillips or flat-blade screwdriver (model-dependent), soapy water for leak testing, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My burner doesn't click at all when I turn the knob. Is this the right part?
Probably not, at least not by itself. If a burner produces no clicking sound whatsoever, the issue is more likely the spark module (the component that generates the high-voltage pulses) or the igniter switch behind the knob, rather than the electrode itself — an electrode can't spark if it's never receiving a pulse in the first place. This electrode is the right fix when you hear clicking at that burner position but it fails to ignite, sparks weakly, or ignites with a delay.
The burner lights but with a small "whoof" and a delay. Is that dangerous?
A delayed ignition means gas is flowing and accumulating for a moment before the spark finally catches it, which is exactly the kind of small buildup that produces that "whoof" sound and flare. It's not something to ignore — a weak or intermittent electrode is the common cause, and replacing it restores immediate, reliable ignition. If delayed ignition continues after replacing the electrode, have the burner and gas supply checked by a qualified technician rather than continuing to use it.
Can I clean the electrode instead of replacing it?
Light cleaning can sometimes help if the tip is coated in grease or food residue — gently wiping the ceramic and metal tip with a dry cloth or a small amount of rubbing alcohol may restore a weak spark caused purely by surface buildup. But if you see a cracked or chipped ceramic insulator, a visibly eroded or pitted tip, or the spark still fails after cleaning, the electrode itself has degraded and cleaning won't fix that — replacement is the correct next step.
One burner sparks weakly but the others are fine. Does that rule out the spark module?
Yes, generally. The spark module typically drives all the surface burner electrodes from the same unit, so if only one position is affected while the rest spark normally, the shared module is very unlikely to be the cause — the problem is isolated to that one electrode (or its individual wire connection). If every burner is weak or unreliable at the same time, that points toward the spark module instead.
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 ceramic insulator design, tip geometry, mounting bracket, and wire connector of the original WB13K10003 electrode used in compatible GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore gas ranges.

XPARTCO 4561EL3002A Dryer Idler Pulley Assembly
The XPARTCO 4561EL3002A is an aftermarket replacement dryer idler pulley assembly compatible with select LG and Kenmore electric and gas dryers. The idler pulley assembly is a spring-tensioned arm, pulley wheel, and spring kit that presses against the drive belt to keep it under constant tension as it wraps around the drum and motor pulley. Without correct belt tension, the belt slips, the drum stops spinning, and the dryer tumbles clothes poorly or not at all. A worn idler pulley bearing is also one of the most common causes of squealing, squeaking, and thumping noises in LG dryers.
This complete assembly includes the idler arm, pulley wheel, and idler spring. Overall dimensions are 5-3/4"L x 2-1/4"W x 3-7/8"H with a 2-1/4" diameter pulley wheel. Constructed from plastic and metal in white, black, and gray. It directly replaces 4561EL3002B, DE3002A, 4980EL3004, 1267530, AP4438243, AH3523033, EA3523033, EAP3523033, PD00001729, and PS3523033. Note: the pulley wheel only (without arm and spring) is sold separately as APN4560EL3001A — this listing is for the complete idler assembly. Often replaced together with the drum belt (4400EL2001A) and drum rollers (4581EL2002A) for a complete drum drive repair. Installs in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power (and shut off gas for gas dryers) before beginning. Wear work gloves — there are sharp sheet metal edges inside the LG dryer cabinet. Access the idler pulley by removing the back panel of the dryer (on most LG models) or the front panel and top panel. Take a photo of the belt routing around the drum, motor pulley, and idler pulley before removing anything — this is essential for correct reassembly. Release belt tension by pressing the idler arm toward the motor and sliding the belt free. Remove the idler spring from its anchor point, then unclip or unscrew the idler arm from its mounting bracket. Install the new 4561EL3002A idler assembly in the same position — hook the spring onto its anchor point first, then mount the arm. Re-route the belt around the drum (ribbed side in), under the idler pulley, and around the motor pulley, then allow the idler arm to tension the belt. Reassemble panels, restore power, and run a test cycle. Tip: while the dryer is open, inspect and replace the drum belt (4400EL2001A) and drum rollers (4581EL2002A) if worn. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, Torx screwdriver (T20 on some models), needle-nose pliers, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the dryer 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 surface and the motor pulley so the motor's rotation is transmitted to spin the drum. Without proper tension — or with a pulley bearing that has seized or worn out — the belt slips, the drum stops spinning, and the dryer produces heat without tumbling clothes. A worn bearing also creates the high-pitched squealing noise that is the most recognizable symptom of idler pulley failure on LG dryers.
What is the difference between 4561EL3002A and 4561EL3002B?
These are the same LG dryer idler pulley assembly across two production revisions. The 4561EL3002B was an earlier version and the 4561EL3002A is the current part number. Both are the same functional assembly — if your dryer's parts diagram shows 4561EL3002B, the 4561EL3002A is the correct current replacement and is covered by this listing.
Should I also replace the drum belt and 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 (4400EL2001A) and drum support rollers (4581EL2002A). All three parts form the drum drive system and wear at similar rates. A worn roller or belt is often what caused the idler pulley to wear prematurely. Replacing all three in one repair eliminates the most common drum drive failure points and prevents a repeat teardown in the near future.
Can I just replace the pulley wheel without the arm and spring?
Yes — the pulley wheel alone (without the arm and spring) is sold separately as part number APN4560EL3001A. If only the wheel bearing has failed and the arm and spring are in good condition, you can order just the wheel. However, if the arm is cracked, the spring has lost tension, or both the wheel and arm have significant wear, ordering the complete 4561EL3002A assembly is more cost-effective and ensures the entire idler system is renewed in a single 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 LG OEM part, but is manufactured from plastic and metal to match the dimensions and performance of the original 4561EL3002A idler pulley assembly.
