XPARTCO WH13X26535 Washer Water Valve
The XPARTCO WH13X26535 is an aftermarket replacement water inlet valve assembly for GE top-load washers, and also fits select Hotpoint, Haier, Monogram, and Café models. This valve controls the flow of hot and cold water into the tub during the fill portion of the cycle, ensuring each wash uses the correct amount of water at the right temperature blend. It's housed in durable gray plastic.
Common failure causes include mineral or sediment buildup inside the valve body, a burned-out internal solenoid coil, and general wear over years of use — five years is a commonly cited service life before this valve starts to show problems. A failing valve produces a clear set of symptoms: the washer not filling properly, water continuing to fill or drip even when the washer is turned off, or leaking near the valve area. It directly replaces WH13X26535, WH13X24386, 4931303, WH13X24392, AP6892695, AGE26261, EAP12726769, OEM20678094, PD00052736, PS12726769
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WH13X26535 Washer Water Valve fixes GE top-load washers that aren't filling properly, are overfilling, or have water slowly dripping into the tub even when the washer is off. Housed in gray plastic. Replaces WH13X26535, WH13X24386, 4931303, WH13X24392, AP6892695, AGE26261, EAP12726769, OEM20678094, PD00052736, PS12726769. This replacement valve does not include a thermistor or gasket — if your old valve has a thermistor mounted in front of the solenoids, you'll need to transfer it (with its gasket) to the new valve. Also not the same as the similarly-numbered WH13X26534, which is a separate valve for other GE/Hotpoint models.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Washer not filling with water properly
Washer overfilling
Water slowly dripping or leaking into the tub even when the washer is turned off
Leaking near the valve connections
No hot water reaching the tub, or no cold water reaching the tub
Cycle stalling at the fill step and never advancing to wash
Cross Reference Information

If your part number is not listed above, contact our support team before ordering and we will verify compatibility.
Compatibility
This water valve is compatible with select GE top-load washers, and also fits select Hotpoint, Haier, Monogram, and Café washers built on the GE platform, spanning model series GTW460, GTW465, GTW485, GTW490, GTW500, GTW525, GTW540, and VTW540, including specific model numbers such as 5TW4207ST0WS, 5TW4307SW0WS, ETW485ASW0WB, GTW460AMJ0WW, GTW460AMJ1WW, and GTW460AMJ2WW.
Note — thermistor transfer required, and not the same as WH13X26534: This valve does not include a thermistor or the rubber gasket that seats it. If your original valve has a thermistor mounted in front of the solenoids, you must transfer that thermistor and its gasket onto this new valve during installation. Separately, this part is not the same as the similarly-numbered WH13X26534, a distinct valve used on other GE/Hotpoint models with its own cross-reference set (PS12726768, AP6891106). Always verify your full model number before ordering. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Shut Off Water Supply And Unplug Washer Before Starting — Watch For The Thermistor O-Ring Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker, and shut off both hot and cold water supply valves before beginning. Wear work gloves. Access is typically behind the front control panel or top of the cabinet, depending on your model. The valve assembly is usually held in place with a metal plate and two screws. Photograph the wiring and hose connections before disconnecting anything. If your old valve has a thermistor (temperature sensor) mounted in front of the solenoids, it fits into a small hole in the bracket and uses an O-ring seal that's known to degrade and leak over time — this new valve does not include one, so you'll need to carefully transfer the thermistor and its gasket from the old valve to the new one. Disconnect the electrical connector and outlet hoses from the old valve, remove its mounting screws, and pull it free. Transfer the thermistor and gasket to the new WH13X26535 if applicable, then install it in the same position, reconnect all outlet hoses to their original positions, reconnect the electrical connector, and secure the mounting screws. Reattach the hot and cold supply hoses, tightening securely. Restore the water supply and check every connection for leaks before restoring power. Run a full test cycle across a few different temperature settings to confirm each fill function works correctly with no leaking. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, pliers, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this valve come with the thermistor?
No. This valve no longer comes with the rubber gasket or thermistor that some GE washers use, mounted directly in front of the solenoids. If your old unit has one, you'll need to remove it from the old valve, along with its gasket, and transfer it onto this new valve during installation.
Water has been slowly leaking into my tub even when the washer is off. Is that this valve?
Yes, this is a documented cause. One customer traced over a year of slow leaking directly to this valve's thermistor O-ring, which is known to degrade over time and let water seep through even when the washer isn't running. Replacing the valve (and transferring a good thermistor and gasket if your model uses one) resolves this type of slow leak.
Is this the same as WH13X26534?
No, these are two separate GE valve part numbers with different cross-reference sets, despite the similar numbering. Always confirm the exact part number from your washer's parts diagram or the sticker on your old valve rather than assuming based on a close number match.
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 solenoid design, housing, and connection type of the original WH13X26535 valve used in compatible GE, Hotpoint, Haier, Monogram, and Café top-load washers.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer and Shut Off Water Before Starting Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before beginning any repair. Place towels and a shallow pan under the pump access area to catch residual water. Remove the front lower access panel of the washer. Before removing the pump, first clean the pump filter (WH23X38617) and check for a clogged filter or debris in the pump housing — a jammed impeller is sometimes mistaken for a failed pump. If the pump motor is confirmed failed, disconnect the wire harness and drain hoses from the old pump assembly, then unscrew or unclip the pump from the mounting bracket. Install the new WH11X39237 pump assembly, reconnect the drain hoses and secure with clamps, reconnect the wire harness, and reinstall the access panel. Restore power and water supply, then run a drain-only cycle to verify proper drainage and check for leaks. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, pliers, shallow pan or towels.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between WH11X39237 and WH11X29539?
These are the same drain pump assembly — WH11X39237 is the current updated part number that GE issued to replace the discontinued WH11X29539. If your washer's documentation, parts diagram, or old pump label shows WH11X29539, the WH11X39237 is the correct replacement to order.
Should I check the pump filter before replacing the drain pump?
Yes — always check and clean the pump filter (WH23X38617) before replacing the drain pump. A heavily clogged filter can restrict water flow enough to mimic pump failure symptoms, and a foreign object jammed in the impeller can stall the pump motor without permanently damaging it. Remove the filter, clear any debris from the housing and impeller, and test the washer again. If the pump still fails to drain after cleaning, then pump replacement is the next step.
How do I know if my drain pump has failed?
A failed drain pump typically causes the washer to stop mid-cycle with a drain error code, or to finish a cycle with standing water in the drum. You may also hear a loud humming noise during the drain phase — this indicates the motor is running but the impeller is not turning (jammed or broken). A grinding noise suggests physical damage to the impeller or pump housing. If the pump is completely silent during the drain cycle despite power being delivered to it, the motor has likely burned out.
Is the WH11X39237 compatible with GE Profile and GE 2-in-1 models?
Yes — the WH11X39237 is compatible with select GE Profile front-load washers in the PFW870, PFW950, PFW955, and PFQ83 series, as well as select GE 2-in-1 Washer/Dryer Combo models. Always verify your specific model number before ordering to confirm compatibility.
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 electrical specifications and physical dimensions of the original WH11X39237 drain pump assembly.

XPARTCO EBF61315802 Washer Door Lock Switch
The XPARTCO EBF61315802 is an aftermarket replacement washer door lock switch assembly compatible with a wide range of LG front-load washers and Kenmore 796-series front-load washing machines. The door lock switch is mounted on the front panel just inside the door opening — when the door is closed, the door's striker engages the lock and the switch reports back to the control board that the door is securely closed. The lock then engages electromagnetically to physically prevent the door from being opened during the wash and spin cycles, eliminating the risk of water leaks and protecting the user from the high-speed spinning drum.
When this part fails, the washer will not start (since the control board can't confirm the door is locked), will stop mid-cycle, may display DE1 or DE2 error codes, may not actually lock the door (allowing it to open during a cycle), or may leak water around the door. Rated 125V AC, 60Hz, with a 3-pin connector. It directly replaces EBF62534401, AP5672154, AP6992889, PS7792232, PS16223547, EAP7792232, 2667085, and PD00008063. Often replaced alongside the door lock strike (MFG63099101, sold separately), which is the matching component on the door itself. Installs in 15–20 minutes with basic hand tools — no full front panel removal needed on most models.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power before beginning. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. On most LG and Kenmore front-load models, you can replace the door lock switch without removing the whole front panel — a much faster repair than expected. Open the washer door (if the door is stuck locked, use a putty knife to pry the white latch on the door lock assembly through the bottom service opening, then open the door). Remove the spring-loaded wire clamp securing the door boot to the front panel — needle-nose pliers help here. Peel back the rubber door boot from the front panel to expose the rear of the door lock switch. Remove the 2 Phillips screws holding the switch to the front panel. Reach in and pull the switch out through the boot opening. Disconnect the wire harness from the old switch. Connect the wire harness to the new EBF61315802, position it in place, and secure with the 2 mounting screws. Press the rubber door boot back fully into the groove at the front panel — this is the trickiest part of the install (an extra pair of hands helps). Reinstall the spring-loaded wire clamp around the boot to secure it. Restore power and test by closing the door and starting a cycle. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, needle-nose pliers, putty knife (for stuck doors), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do error codes DE1 and DE2 mean on LG washers?
DE (Door Error) codes on LG front-load washers indicate the control board cannot confirm the door is properly closed and locked. DE1 typically appears when the door switch reports the door as open at the start of a cycle, and DE2 typically appears when the door signal is lost during a cycle. Both can be caused by a failed door lock switch, a worn or broken door lock strike (MFG63099101) on the door itself, or a damaged wiring harness. Replacing the EBF61315802 door lock switch resolves these codes when the switch is the cause; if the codes return after replacement, the strike on the door or the harness should be inspected next.
Do I need to replace the door lock strike (MFG63099101) too?
Not always, but often. The door lock strike is the matching component mounted on the door itself — it's the part that the switch's electromagnetic lock grips when the door closes. If the strike is worn, cracked, or its plastic teeth are broken, the new switch won't lock reliably even if it's working perfectly. Inspect the strike on the door for visible damage before replacing just the switch. Many repair scenarios call for replacing both at the same time, since both wear together and the parts complement each other.
My washer door is stuck closed — how do I get it open to install this?
If the door is stuck in the locked position because the existing switch has failed, you can use a putty knife or thin flat tool to manually release the door lock through the bottom service opening of the washer. Reach in through the access panel at the lower front of the unit and locate the white plastic latch on the back of the door lock assembly — gently push or pry it to release the mechanism. The door should then open. Once open, you can proceed with the installation. Always disconnect power from the washer before attempting this.
Do I really not need to remove the front panel?
Correct — on most LG and Kenmore front-load models, you can replace the door lock switch by working through the door opening after pulling back the rubber door boot. This avoids the much more involved process of removing the entire front panel. The trickiest part of the repair is pressing the rubber door boot back into its groove on the front panel after the switch is installed — an extra pair of hands is helpful for this step. The whole repair typically takes 15–20 minutes.
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 to match the electrical specifications (125V AC, 60Hz), 3-pin connector configuration, electromagnetic lock function, and dimensions of the original EBF61315802 door lock switch used in compatible LG and Kenmore 796-series front-load washers.

WH13X26535 Genuine OEM GE Washer Water Valve
The WH13X26535 is a genuine GE OEM water inlet valve assembly for GE top-load washers, and also fits select Hotpoint, Haier, Monogram, and Café models. This valve controls the flow of hot and cold water into the tub during the fill portion of the cycle, ensuring each wash uses the correct amount of water at the right temperature blend. It's housed in durable gray plastic.
Common failure causes include mineral or sediment buildup inside the valve body, a burned-out internal solenoid coil, and general wear over years of use — five years is a commonly cited service life before this valve starts to show problems. A failing valve produces a clear set of symptoms: the washer not filling properly, water continuing to fill or drip even when the washer is turned off, or leaking near the valve area. It directly replaces AP6892695, WH13X24386, 4931303, PS12726769, WH13X24392, WH13X26535-25PK, EAP12726769, and PD00052736. As a genuine OEM part, the WH13X26535 is manufactured by GE to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.
Quick Answer
The WH13X26535 Genuine OEM GE Washer Water Valve fixes GE top-load washers that aren't filling properly, are overfilling, or have water slowly dripping into the tub even when the washer is off. Housed in gray plastic. Replaces AP6892695, WH13X24386, 4931303, PS12726769, WH13X24392, WH13X26535-25PK, EAP12726769, PD00052736. This replacement valve does not include a thermistor or gasket — if your old valve has a thermistor mounted in front of the solenoids, you'll need to transfer it (with its gasket) to the new valve. Also not the same as the similarly-numbered WH13X26534, which is a separate valve for other GE/Hotpoint models.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Washer not filling with water properly
Washer overfilling
Water slowly dripping or leaking into the tub even when the washer is turned off
Leaking near the valve connections
No hot water reaching the tub, or no cold water reaching the tub
Cycle stalling at the fill step and never advancing to wash

Installation Notes
⚠️ Shut Off Water Supply And Unplug Washer Before Starting — Watch For The Thermistor O-Ring Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker, and shut off both hot and cold water supply valves before beginning. Wear work gloves. Access is typically behind the front control panel or top of the cabinet, depending on your model. The valve assembly is usually held in place with a metal plate and two screws. Photograph the wiring and hose connections before disconnecting anything. If your old valve has a thermistor (temperature sensor) mounted in front of the solenoids, it fits into a small hole in the bracket and uses an O-ring seal that's known to degrade and leak over time — this new valve does not include one, so you'll need to carefully transfer the thermistor and its gasket from the old valve to the new one. Disconnect the electrical connector and outlet hoses from the old valve, remove its mounting screws, and pull it free. Transfer the thermistor and gasket to the new WH13X26535 if applicable, then install it in the same position, reconnect all outlet hoses to their original positions, reconnect the electrical connector, and secure the mounting screws. Reattach the hot and cold supply hoses, tightening securely. Restore the water supply and check every connection for leaks before restoring power. Run a full test cycle across a few different temperature settings to confirm each fill function works correctly with no leaking. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, pliers, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this valve come with the thermistor?
No. This valve no longer comes with the rubber gasket or thermistor that some GE washers use, mounted directly in front of the solenoids. If your old unit has one, you'll need to remove it from the old valve, along with its gasket, and transfer it onto this new valve during installation.
Water has been slowly leaking into my tub even when the washer is off. Is that this valve?
Yes, this is a documented cause. One customer traced over a year of slow leaking directly to this valve's thermistor O-ring, which is known to degrade over time and let water seep through even when the washer isn't running. Replacing the valve (and transferring a good thermistor and gasket if your model uses one) resolves this type of slow leak.
Is this the same as WH13X26534?
No, these are two separate GE valve part numbers with different cross-reference sets, despite the similar numbering. Always confirm the exact part number from your washer's parts diagram or the sticker on your old valve rather than assuming based on a close number match.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by GE to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original solenoid design, housing, and connection type of the water inlet valve originally installed in your washer.

XPARTCO DC97-16350U Washer Suspension Rod Kit (Set of 4)
The XPARTCO DC97-16350U is an aftermarket replacement washer suspension rod kit (set of 4) compatible with a wide range of Samsung top-load washers in the WA40, WA41, WA42, WA44, WA45, WA49, and WA50 series. The suspension rods are spring-loaded shock-absorbing rods that connect the outer washer tub to the top corners of the cabinet frame, suspending the tub and dampening the vibrations generated during agitation and high-speed spin cycles. When one or more rods lose tension, break, or degrade, the tub swings off-center and strikes the cabinet walls — causing violent shaking, loud banging, error code dc (out of balance), UE imbalance errors, and progressive damage to the machine.
Each rod measures 26.4–26.5 inches in overall length and 1-1/4 inches in diameter, constructed from spring steel with plastic end caps. The kit includes all 4 suspension rods — always replace all four at the same time since they wear at the same rate. It directly replaces DC97-16350S, DC97-16350T, DC97-16350E, DC97-16350C, DC97-16350D, DC97-16350K, DC97-05280W, 4962798, AP6884450, EAP12720841, PS12720841, and PD00065434. Wear gloves during installation — the rods are coated with grease. Installs in 20–30 minutes — no special tools required.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO DC97-16350U Washer Suspension Rod Kit fixes Samsung top-load washers that vibrate violently, bang loudly, walk across the floor, or display dc or UE imbalance error codes during spin.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer and Shut Off Water Before Starting — Wear Gloves Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before beginning. Wear work gloves throughout — the suspension rods are coated with grease. Remove the lid and the top panel (typically secured by screws under the lid hinge covers and at the rear corners). With the top panel removed, the four suspension rods are visible at the corners, each running from a mounting point on the tub rim up to a hook or bracket at the top corners of the cabinet frame. Note the orientation and attachment method of each rod before removing. Unhook the top of each rod from the cabinet bracket and lift the bottom cup off the tub mounting pin. Install each new DC97-16350U rod by seating the bottom cup onto the tub mounting pin and hooking the top over the cabinet bracket. Replace all four rods before reassembling. Reinstall the top panel and lid, restore power and water, and run a spin cycle to verify smooth, quiet, centered operation. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver; no special tools required for the rods themselves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between DC97-16350U and DC97-16350V?
Both are Samsung top-load washer suspension rods, but they are different lengths for different washer capacity generations. The DC97-16350U is approximately 26.4–26.5 inches long and is used on mid-capacity Samsung WA40 through WA50 series washers. The DC97-16350V is approximately 27.5 inches long and is used on larger-capacity WA48 through WA54 series washers. Using the wrong length rod causes the tub to sit at the wrong height inside the cabinet, which can cause new imbalance issues. Always measure your existing rods or verify your model number before ordering.
Why must I replace all 4 rods instead of just the broken one?
All four suspension rods experience the same amount of wear over the same number of wash cycles. When one rod fails, the remaining three have experienced the same stress and fatigue and are likely to fail soon after. Replacing only the broken rod leaves three worn rods supporting the tub unevenly — this can cause continued vibration, accelerate wear on the new rod, and require a second repair shortly after. Replacing all four at the same time ensures even tub support, fully resolves the imbalance, and prevents a repeat repair.
Do DC97-16350S, DC97-16350T, and DC97-16350E all cross to the DC97-16350U?
Yes — DC97-16350S, DC97-16350T, DC97-16350E, DC97-16350C, and DC97-16350D are all cross-reference part numbers for the same Samsung suspension rod assembly used across different production runs of the same washer series. Samsung updates part number suffixes during production revisions. All of these numbers have the same 26.4–26.5" length and are interchangeable with the DC97-16350U.
What do error codes dc and UE mean on Samsung washers?
Error code dc on Samsung top-load washers indicates the machine has detected an out-of-balance condition and stopped spinning to prevent damage. Error code UE indicates an unbalanced load that the washer cannot self-correct by redistributing. Both codes can be caused by an overloaded or unevenly distributed laundry load — but if the errors occur consistently even with normal, balanced loads, worn or broken suspension rods are the most common mechanical cause. Replacing the rod kit resolves these errors in most cases.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement kit built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Samsung OEM part, but is manufactured from spring steel with plastic end caps to match the length and spring tension of the original DC97-16350U suspension rods.

XPARTCO W11688995 Washer Water Inlet Valve (Cold)
The XPARTCO W11688995 is an aftermarket replacement cold water inlet valve designed as a direct fit for select Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, Inglis, and Kenmore front-load washers. The cold water inlet valve is mounted at the back of the washer where the cold water supply hose connects. When the washer's control board calls for cold water during a wash cycle, the valve's internal solenoid opens, letting water flow into the tub or detergent dispenser. The valve closes the instant the control board cuts power, stopping flow precisely as the correct fill level is reached.
When this valve fails, the washer may not fill with cold water at all, fill very slowly, fail to dispense fabric softener, continuously drip water into the tub even when off, or display F8E1 or LO FL error codes. Construction is blue and white plastic with metal solenoid coil, ~3"H x 4"W x 3"L, with 1/2" NPT threaded inlet for standard washer supply hose. It directly replaces W11688995, W11036930, W11316256, W11486361, AP7218603, EAP12711564, PD00086086, PS12711564, 4929298, and AP6835737. Often replaced as a pair with the hot water inlet valve (W11688994, sold separately). Installs in 10–15 minutes with basic hand tools.

Note: This is the cold water inlet valve (typically blue). The matching hot water inlet valve is part number W11688994 (typically red). When you replace one valve, it's a good practice to replace the other at the same time since they're the same age, both are accessible during the same repair, and the second valve will likely fail in the near term. Always verify your model number before ordering.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer and Shut Off Water Supply Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power and shut off both the hot and cold water supplies at the wall before beginning. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Have towels ready — residual water remains in the supply hoses and will spill when disconnected. Pull the washer out from the wall to access the back. Remove the three 1/4" screws securing the rear edge of the top cover, push the top cover slightly back, and lift it off. Locate the inlet valves at the back of the washer — the cold valve is typically blue. Disconnect the cold water supply hose from the valve (water will drip — towels). Photograph the wire connections before disconnecting. Unplug the small electrical connector from the valve solenoid. Remove the single 3/16" mounting screw (or similar hardware, model-dependent) holding the valve in place, and disconnect any internal water hoses from the valve outlet (channel-lock pliers may help with hose clamps). Install the new W11688995 valve in the same position with the same orientation, reconnect the internal water hoses and electrical connector, and secure the mounting screw. Reconnect the cold supply hose at the wall, restore water and power, and run a test cycle to confirm normal cold water fill with no leaks. Tip: while the top cover is off, this is the ideal time to also replace the hot water valve (W11688994) — they share the same access and lifespan. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, 3/16" nut driver, adjustable wrench or pliers, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do error codes F8E1 and LO FL mean on Whirlpool washers?
Both codes indicate a water fill problem. F8E1 appears when the control board doesn't detect normal water flow during a fill cycle — typically caused by a failed inlet valve, a clogged inlet screen, kinked supply hose, or restricted water supply. LO FL (low flow) appears when the washer detects that water is flowing in, but at a rate too low to complete the fill within the expected time window. When the cold water inlet valve has failed or is partially clogged, both codes can appear together. Before replacing the valve, check that the household cold water supply is on and the supply hose isn't kinked, and inspect the inlet screen on the valve for sediment buildup. If those check out, replacing the W11688995 typically resolves the codes.
My washer isn't dispensing fabric softener — could this be the cold valve?
Yes — this is actually a common symptom that's often misdiagnosed. The cold water inlet valve also feeds the detergent dispenser tray on most Whirlpool front-load washers, including the fabric softener compartment. If the cold valve is clogged or failing to fully open at the right moment in the cycle, water doesn't flow through the fabric softener compartment to flush it into the tub, leaving softener pooled in the tray at the end of the cycle. If you've already cleaned the dispenser tray and water lines and the problem persists, replacing the cold inlet valve (W11688995) often resolves the issue.
Should I replace the hot water valve at the same time?
Yes, it's strongly recommended. The cold and hot inlet valves are essentially identical components installed side by side at the back of the washer — they're the same age, are exposed to the same wash cycle stress, and have the same expected service life. When one fails, the other is typically not far behind. Since the top cover is already off and both valves are accessible during the same repair, replacing both saves you a second teardown later. The matching hot water valve is part number W11688994 (red, sold separately) and is also available as a paired kit.
My washer is dripping water into the tub even when it's off — is this the valve?
Yes, that's a classic sign of a failed inlet valve. When the solenoid wears out or debris keeps the valve from sealing fully closed, water leaks past it at low rates and drips into the tub even with the washer powered off — especially noticeable as a slow puddle forming over a day or two. Since both the hot and cold valves feed into the tub, you'll want to identify which one is leaking: shut off the hot water supply at the wall and check if dripping continues. If it stops, the hot valve is at fault; if it continues, this cold valve is the cause. Replacing the W11688995 will resolve a leaking cold valve.
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 dimensions, electrical specifications, 1/2" NPT thread, and solenoid function of the original W11688995 cold water inlet valve used in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, and Kenmore front-load washers.

XPARTCO 17438200000160 Gas Dryer Flame Switch
The XPARTCO 17438200000160 is an aftermarket replacement gas dryer flame switch compatible with select Midea, Insignia gas dryers, including the MLG45N1BWW, MLG45N3BMG, MLG45N3BWW, MLG52S7AWW, CDG41N1AW/CDG45N1AW series, NSDRE67WH8A, NSFDRG67WH8A, NSDRE67WH8AC, NSTDRG75W1. The flame switch is a safety component mounted on the burner assembly that confirms a flame is actually present after the gas valve opens and the igniter lights the burner. If the switch does not detect a flame within the expected window, it signals the control board to shut off the gas valve, preventing unburned gas from continuing to flow into the dryer cabinet.
When the flame switch fails, the dryer may not heat at all, may shut off the burner shortly after ignition (short-cycling the flame), may trip a no-heat fault code on models with digital displays, or — in rarer failure modes — may fail to shut off gas flow appropriately, which is a safety-relevant failure. It directly replaces 17438200000160 (Midea OEM). Installs in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Gas Appliance Safety Warning This part is installed in a gas dryer. Always unplug the dryer and shut off the gas supply at the shutoff valve before beginning any repair. If you smell gas at any point during or after installation, leave the area immediately and contact your gas utility provider. Do not restore power or gas until the repair is fully complete and all connections are confirmed secure. If you are not comfortable working on gas appliances or safety-relevant flame-detection components, have this part installed by a qualified technician.
⚠️ Wear Work Gloves — Access Requires Cabinet Disassembly Disconnect power and shut off gas before beginning. Wear work gloves throughout — there are sharp metal edges inside the dryer cabinet. Remove the lint filter and the screws securing the lint filter housing. Release the top panel locking clips with a putty knife and lift the top panel. Disconnect the door switch harness and remove the front panel to access the drum and burner assembly. Locate the flame switch mounted on the burner assembly — it is positioned to detect the flame produced once the igniter lights the gas. Photograph the wire connections before disconnecting. Disconnect the wires from the old flame switch, remove the mounting screw, and pull the switch free. Install the new 17438200000160 flame switch in the same position, secure the mounting screw, and reconnect the wires. Reassemble the front panel, drum, and top panel in reverse order. Restore gas and power, and run a test heat cycle to confirm the burner ignites and stays lit normally. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the flame switch do, and how is it different from an igniter?
The igniter is the component that heats up and ignites the gas at the burner. The flame switch is a separate safety component that confirms a flame is actually present after the igniter has done its job and the gas valve has opened. If the flame switch does not detect the expected flame condition, it signals the control system to close the gas valve, stopping gas flow. This two-part system — ignition plus flame confirmation — is a standard safety design in gas dryers and gas appliances generally, ensuring gas does not continue flowing if combustion isn't actually occurring.
My burner lights and then shuts off after a few seconds — is this the flame switch?
Yes, this is a common symptom of a failing flame switch. If the switch is not reliably maintaining its "flame detected" signal to the control board even though the burner is genuinely lit, the system may interpret this as a flame failure and shut the gas valve as a safety precaution — causing the burner to repeatedly light and then extinguish. This short-cycling pattern during what should be a continuous heat cycle is a strong indicator that the flame switch needs replacement.
Why is this called a "flame switch" rather than a "flame sensor"?
Different manufacturers use different terminology for similar flame-detection safety components. On Whirlpool-family gas dryers, this type of part is typically called a "flame sensor" — a bimetal-style sensor near the igniter that closes a circuit when it senses sufficient heat. Midea's parts catalog labels this specific component the "flame switch," and it serves an analogous safety role within the Midea gas burner system: confirming the presence of a flame after ignition. The terminology differs by manufacturer, but the safety function is similar in concept.
Why does this repair require opening the whole dryer cabinet?
On Midea gas dryers, the flame switch is mounted directly on the burner assembly inside the dryer cabinet, which is only accessible after removing the lint filter housing, releasing the top panel, and removing the front panel. This is a more involved repair than swapping an externally accessible part, but it follows the same general gas dryer disassembly procedure used for replacing igniters, thermal fuses, and other burner-area components. Since the cabinet must be opened, it can be a good opportunity to inspect other burner components (igniter, gas valve coils) for wear at the same time.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is manufactured to match the dimensions, mounting configuration, and function of the original 17438200000160 Midea flame switch.

17438200000404 Genuine OEM Midea Dryer Temperature Sensor (Thermistor)
The 17438200000404 is a Genuine OEM Midea replacement dryer temperature sensor (thermistor) compatible with an extensive range of Midea, Criterion, and Insignia electric and gas dryers. This NTC (negative temperature coefficient) thermistor continuously monitors air temperature inside the dryer and sends resistance-based readings to the control board, which uses this data to regulate heating element cycling, prevent overheating, and maintain consistent drying temperatures throughout the cycle. As the thermistor heats up, its electrical resistance decreases in a predictable way, allowing the control board to calculate the exact temperature in real time.
When this sensor fails — whether shorted, open, or providing drifted/inaccurate readings — the dryer may overheat, may not heat at all, may dry clothes unevenly, may take much longer than normal to complete a cycle, or may trigger a not-heating fault on models with digital displays. As a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Midea to factory specifications, the 17438200000404 directly replaces WF-123X2060 (an alternate catalog cross-reference used by some suppliers, including for compatible Maytag-branded Midea-built units). Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting (Shut Off Gas First on Gas Models) Disconnect power before beginning (and shut off the gas supply first if you have a gas dryer model). Midea dryers typically have 2–3 temperature sensors: an exhaust thermistor on the blower housing or exhaust duct, a drum thermistor inside the drum cavity, and on heat pump models, an evaporator thermistor — confirm which sensor location matches your symptom and part diagram before starting. Access the sensors by removing the back panel on vented models, or the side/bottom panels on heat pump models. Photograph the connector position before disconnecting. Unplug the old sensor's connector and inspect it for corrosion or heat discoloration on the wires — discoloration indicates prior overheating in that area. Remove the mounting clip or screw securing the old sensor and pull it free. Install the new 17438200000404 sensor in the same position, reseat the connector firmly, and secure the mounting hardware. Reassemble the panel, restore power, and run a test heat cycle to confirm normal temperature regulation. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, multimeter (for testing).
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I test if the temperature sensor (thermistor) has failed?
Unplug the dryer, disconnect the sensor's connector, and set your multimeter to resistance mode. At room temperature (around 70°F), a working NTC thermistor should read approximately 10,000 to 12,000 ohms. If the sensor reads 0 ohms, it has shorted internally. If it reads infinite resistance (open circuit, often shown as "OL" on the multimeter), the sensor has failed open. Either reading confirms the sensor needs replacement. If you have multiple sensors testing bad at the same time, check the shared ground wire — a broken ground connection can cause all sensors on that circuit to read as open even if the individual sensors are fine.
My Midea dryer has more than one temperature sensor — how do I know which one to replace?
Midea dryers typically use 2–3 temperature sensors depending on the model: an exhaust thermistor mounted on the blower housing or exhaust duct, a drum thermistor inside the drum cavity, and — on heat pump/ventless models — an evaporator thermistor in the refrigerant circuit area. The 17438200000404 is used across this Midea/Criterion/Insignia platform, but confirming the exact mounting location for your specific symptom (e.g., overheating vs. uneven drying) and model number before ordering will help ensure you're replacing the correct sensor.
What is the difference between 17438200000404 and WF-123X2060?
These are the same temperature sensor. WF-123X2060 is an alternate catalog cross-reference number used by some parts suppliers for the identical Midea-manufactured thermistor — it appears in listings for compatible Maytag-branded Midea-built units as well as the standard Midea, Criterion, and Insignia models. If your dryer's parts diagram shows either number, the 17438200000404 is the correct part.
Does this sensor fit my Insignia or Criterion dryer?
Yes — Insignia (Best Buy) and Criterion (Sears/Kmart) are house brands whose dryers in this size and configuration are manufactured by Midea and use the same internal components, including this temperature sensor. Confirmed compatible models include Insignia NSDRE67WH8A, NSFDRE67WH8A, NSFDRE77WH8B, NSTDRE67W1, NSTDRE75W1 (electric) and NSFDRG67WH8A, NSTDRG67W1, NSTDRG75W1 (gas), as well as Criterion CDE41N1AW (electric) and CDG41N1AW (gas). Always verify your specific model number before ordering.
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 NTC thermistor temperature sensor installed in compatible Midea, Criterion, and Insignia dryers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.
