XPARTCO 285753A Washer Direct Drive Motor Coupler
The XPARTCO 285753A is an aftermarket replacement direct drive motor coupler (also called a motor coupling or drive coupler) compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool-family top-load washers including Whirlpool, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Maytag, Amana, Roper, Admiral, Estate, Crosley, Inglis, and Magic Chef. The motor coupler connects the drive motor shaft to the transmission — transferring the motor's power to the transmission to drive the agitator and spin the drum during wash and spin cycles. It is a deliberate weak point in the drivetrain: if the washer is overloaded, the coupler breaks apart first, protecting the far more expensive motor and transmission from damage.
This is the updated 285753A design with metal sleeves for added strength — it replaces all previous coupler styles and versions including the original 285753, 280152, 285743, and 285140. This kit includes 2 plastic coupling halves and 1 rubber isolation dampener. Dimensions approximately 2" L x 1-1/4" W x 2" H. Fits direct-drive top-load washers only — not compatible with belt-drive machines. Installs in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 285753A Washer Motor Coupler fixes top-load washers that fill and drain normally but will not agitate or spin. The motor coupler connects the motor to the transmission — when it breaks, the motor runs but neither the agitator nor the drum moves. Kit includes 2 plastic coupling halves and 1 rubber dampener. Updated design with metal sleeves. Replaces all previous coupler versions including 285753, 280152, 285743, 285140. Compatible with Whirlpool, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Maytag, Amana, Roper, Admiral, and more direct-drive top-load washers.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Washer fills with water and drains but will not agitate or spin
Motor runs (you can hear it) but agitator and drum do not move
Washer spins slowly or incompletely — clothes still very wet after spin cycle
Loud humming or buzzing from the motor area without agitation or spin
Burning rubber or plastic smell during the wash or spin cycle
Washer shakes excessively — broken coupler causing uneven power transfer
Broken plastic or rubber pieces visible inside the bottom of the washer cabinet

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer and Shut Off Water Before Starting Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before beginning. Remove the washer's cabinet by releasing the top panel clips and removing the front panel screws — the motor and transmission are at the bottom of the machine. The motor coupler is a three-piece assembly between the motor shaft and the transmission input shaft. Pull the motor forward to release it from the mounting clips. The broken coupler pieces will likely fall out at this point — inspect the motor shaft and transmission shaft for any remaining plastic debris and clear it. Press the new rubber dampener onto the motor shaft coupling half first, then onto the transmission shaft coupling half, and snap the motor back into the mounting clips. Verify both coupler halves are seated securely and the rubber dampener is centered between them. Reassemble the front panel and top panel. Restore power and run a short cycle to confirm the agitator and spin function normally. Work gloves recommended — sharp sheet metal edges inside the cabinet. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, flat-head screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the motor coupler do?
The motor coupler is a three-piece assembly — two plastic coupling halves and a rubber dampener — that connects the drive motor shaft to the transmission input shaft in direct-drive washing machines. The motor spins the coupler, which transfers that rotation to the transmission, which in turn drives the agitator and drum. The rubber dampener absorbs shock and vibration between the rigid motor and transmission shafts during direction changes. The coupler is intentionally designed as the weakest link in the drivetrain — if the washer is overloaded or the transmission seizes, the coupler breaks first to protect the far more expensive motor and transmission from damage.
My washer fills and drains but won't agitate or spin — is the motor coupler the cause?
Yes — this is the classic symptom of a broken motor coupler. Because the pump is typically driven directly by the motor before the coupler connection, a broken coupler allows the motor to run and the pump to drain normally, but neither the agitator nor the spin drum receives any power. If you can hear the motor running but nothing moves, open the washer cabinet and inspect the coupler — you will likely find broken plastic pieces at the bottom of the cabinet near the motor and transmission.
Why does the motor coupler break?
The most common cause is overloading — packing too many heavy items into the washer creates enough mechanical resistance that the coupler snaps rather than allowing the motor to be damaged. Other causes include a worn or seized transmission, a worn motor, normal wear over many years of use, or a single sudden jam caused by a foreign object. If your coupler breaks a second time shortly after replacement, inspect the transmission for signs of wear or binding — a stiff or seized transmission will continue to break new couplers.
What is the difference between 285753 and 285753A?
The 285753A is the updated current version that superseded the original 285753. The A version incorporates metal sleeve inserts in the plastic coupling halves for improved strength and durability compared to the original all-plastic design. The 285753A replaces all previous versions — including 285753, 280152, 285743, and 285140 — and is the correct part to order regardless of which older number is listed in your washer's parts diagram.
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 rubber, plastic, and metal to match the dimensions and performance of the original 285753A motor coupler.

XPARTCO XPDC80X5-450R Dual Run Capacitor (80/5 MFD, 450V, Round)
The XPARTCO XPDC80X5-450R is a universal dual run capacitor for central air conditioners, heat pumps, and condensing units. A run capacitor works alongside a single-phase AC motor to keep it running efficiently once it's started, boosting torque and correcting the phase of the current feeding the motor's windings. This is a dual capacitor, meaning it combines two separate capacitors — one for the compressor, one for the condenser fan motor — into a single three-terminal can, which is why nearly every residential outdoor AC unit uses exactly this style of component to run both motors from one part.
Rated 80 MFD for the compressor circuit and 5 MFD for the fan motor circuit, at 450VAC, in a round aluminum can housing. Because a capacitor's voltage rating is a ceiling rather than a fixed match, this 450V-rated capacitor can safely replace an original capacitor rated 370V or 440V — going higher on voltage is always safe, going lower is not. Over time, the dielectric material inside a run capacitor breaks down from heat cycling and electrical stress, causing it to lose capacitance or fail outright. A failing dual capacitor produces a very recognizable set of symptoms: the outdoor unit hums but the compressor or fan won't start, the fan spins slowly or needs a manual push to get going, the system trips the breaker, or the capacitor can itself is visibly bulging, domed, or leaking oily residue at the top.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO XPDC80X5-450R Dual Run Capacitor fixes central air conditioners and heat pumps where the outdoor unit hums but won't start, the compressor or fan motor won't run, the fan spins slowly or needs a manual push, the breaker trips, or the capacitor can is visibly bulged or leaking. 80 MFD (compressor) + 5 MFD (fan) dual capacitor, 450VAC, round, 3-terminal. Universal fit for equipment originally speced at 370V or 440V, since a higher voltage rating is always a safe upgrade. Capacitors store a dangerous electrical charge even after power is disconnected — always discharge before handling.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Outdoor AC unit hums but the compressor won't start
Condenser fan won't spin, or spins slowly and needs a manual push to get going
System trips the breaker shortly after starting
AC blows warm air because the compressor isn't running
Repeated clicking sound from the contactor as it tries and fails to start the motor
Capacitor can visibly bulging, domed on top, or leaking oily residue
System that used to start slowly and has now stopped starting altogether
Burning smell from the outdoor unit's electrical compartment

XPDC80X5-450R
This is a universal component rather than a single-manufacturer part, so the specific OEM number your HVAC system's label references will vary by brand (Goodman, Trane, Carrier, Rheem, York, Lennox, Amana, and others). This capacitor is a correct replacement for any dual run capacitor matching the 80 MFD / 5 MFD rating with a voltage rating of 450V or lower. If you have your original part number, contact our support team and we will verify compatibility before you order.
Compatibility
This dual run capacitor is a universal replacement compatible with central air conditioners, heat pumps, and condensing units across all major HVAC brands, wherever the original capacitor is rated:
80 MFD (compressor) + 5 MFD (fan motor)
370V, 440V, or 450V (this capacitor's 450V rating exceeds and safely replaces either lower rating)
Round can shape with 3 terminals
Note: The MFD (microfarad) rating must match your original capacitor exactly on both sides — do not substitute a different MFD value for either the compressor or fan side. Voltage rating, on the other hand, can be equal to or higher than the original (450V safely replaces 370V or 440V), but never lower. Can shape (round vs. oval) affects only physical fit inside your unit's electrical compartment, not performance. If you're unsure of your original capacitor's specifications, they're printed directly on its can — contact our support team if you'd like help confirming compatibility.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Danger — Capacitors Store A Dangerous Electrical Charge Shut off power to the outdoor unit at the disconnect box and at the breaker before beginning. A capacitor stores an electrical charge even after power has been disconnected, and that charge can deliver a serious or fatal shock. Before touching any terminal, discharge the capacitor by shorting each pair of terminals together (C-to-Fan, C-to-Herm, and Fan-to-Herm) using an insulated-handle screwdriver, or by using a proper capacitor discharge tool with a resistor. Never short the terminals with a bare metal tool held with your bare hand. If you are not fully comfortable performing a capacitor discharge safely, have a qualified HVAC technician replace this part instead.
⚠️ Photograph The Wiring Before Disconnecting — Match Terminals Exactly Wear work gloves and safety glasses. After confirming the capacitor is fully discharged, photograph the wiring on the old capacitor's terminals before disconnecting anything — dual capacitors are labeled C (Common), Herm or Comp (compressor/hermetic), and Fan, and getting a wire on the wrong terminal can damage the new capacitor or the motor it feeds. Note which terminal each wire came from, or label them individually with tape. Remove the mounting strap or bracket holding the old capacitor in its housing, and disconnect each wire from its terminal. Install the new XPDC80X5-450R in the same mounting position, secure it with the strap or bracket, and reconnect each wire to the matching terminal (C, Herm, and Fan) exactly as labeled. Double-check every connection before restoring power. Restore power at the breaker and disconnect box, and confirm the compressor and fan both start promptly and run smoothly. Tools needed: insulated-handle screwdriver or capacitor discharge tool, nut driver, work gloves, safety glasses.
Frequently Asked Questions
My AC unit hums but won't start. Is this the capacitor?
It's one of the most common causes of exactly that symptom. A run capacitor gives the compressor or fan motor the extra push needed to start turning; without it, the motor can draw power and hum in place without ever actually starting to spin. If you can see the capacitor can and it looks bulged, domed on top, or is leaking a brown oily residue, that's strong visual confirmation of failure.
Can I use a 450V capacitor to replace my old 370V or 440V one?
Yes. Voltage rating is a ceiling, not an exact match requirement — a capacitor rated for a higher voltage than your original will work safely and often lasts longer under the same electrical stress. What you cannot do is go the other direction: never install a capacitor with a lower voltage rating than your original, since that risks premature failure or the capacitor breaking down under normal operating conditions.
Does the round vs. oval shape matter?
Only for physical fit inside your unit's electrical compartment — it has no effect on electrical performance. If your unit's mounting bracket or available space is sized for a round can, use a round capacitor; if it's sized for an oval can, use an oval one. The MFD and voltage ratings are what matter electrically, not the shape.
The fan spins if I give it a push, but won't start on its own. What does that mean?
This is a classic sign of a weak or failing capacitor — it may still have enough charge to keep the motor running once it's already spinning, but not enough to provide the initial starting torque. This is a strong signal to replace the capacitor before it fails completely and leaves you with no cooling at all.
Is this a genuine OEM part?
This is a universal replacement part rather than a brand-specific OEM part. Because dual run capacitors are a standardized component defined by their electrical specifications rather than their manufacturer, this capacitor is a correct replacement for any unit's original capacitor that shares the same 80/5 MFD, 450VAC, round dual run capacitor rating — regardless of which HVAC brand originally installed it.

WB24T10029 Genuine OEM GE Range Surface Burner Control Switch
The WB24T10029 is a genuine GE OEM surface burner control switch — also called an infinite switch — for the 6-inch surface element on GE, Hotpoint, and select Kenmore electric ranges and cooktops. This switch is what the burner knob actually turns: it doesn't have fixed positions like a light switch, but instead cycles the element's power on and off at varying ratios as you rotate the knob, which is why it's called an "infinite" switch — it lets you dial in a continuous range of heat levels rather than a handful of fixed steps. Turn the knob to a low setting and the switch feeds the element power only briefly out of every few seconds; turn it toward high and the element stays powered for most of that same window.
This switch is rated for 1,500 watts and controls a 6-inch surface element, drawing 4.4–7.4A at 240V. Over years of use the internal contacts wear, pit, or weld from repeated on/off cycling, and moisture from boilovers or spills can corrode the switch body and cause it to short internally. A worn switch produces predictable symptoms: the burner won't turn on or off at all, it sticks at one heat level no matter where the knob is turned, or it works only intermittently. It directly replaces 769696, AP2024076, AH236754, EA236754, and PS236754. As a genuine OEM part, the WB24T10029 is manufactured by GE to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.
Quick Answer
The WB24T10029 Genuine OEM GE Range Surface Burner Control Switch fixes GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore electric ranges where a surface burner won't turn on or off, stays at one heat level regardless of the knob setting, or works intermittently. This is the 6-inch element switch — 1,500W, 4.4–7.4A at 240V. Replaces 769696, AP2024076, AH236754, EA236754, PS236754. Not the same switch as the WB24T10025 used on the 8-inch element — check which burner is affected before ordering.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Surface burner won't turn on at all when the knob is turned
Burner won't turn off — stays hot even with the knob at the off position
Burner stuck at one heat level regardless of where the knob is set
No ability to adjust temperature — always full blast or always low
Intermittent burner operation — works sometimes, not others
Burner cycles unpredictably, on and off faster or slower than the knob setting suggests
Knob feels loose, gritty, or doesn't click through its normal range of motion
Burner failure that followed a boilover or liquid spill on the control panel
Cross Reference Information

If your part number is not listed above, contact our support team before ordering and we will verify compatibility.
Compatibility
This surface burner control switch is compatible with select GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore electric ranges and cooktops using a 6-inch surface element, across a very wide range of model families, including:
GE JB, JBP, JCBP, and JBS series electric ranges
GE RB and RA series electric ranges
Hotpoint RB series electric ranges (select GE-built models)
Select Kenmore electric ranges built on the GE platform
This switch fits several thousand model variants across GE's electric range lineup, including common families such as JB250, JB350, JB500, JB600 through JB870, JBP10 through JBP99, JCBP35 through JCBP85, JBS07, JBS27, JBS55, JBS60, JBS86, RA724, RB536, RB540, RB560, RB585, RB720, RB740, RB757, RB758, RB787, RB790, RB798, and RB800 — each spanning many color and revision suffixes. Because the model list is extremely long, always verify your full model number against your range's data label, located inside the storage drawer or along the back panel, before ordering.
Note — 6-inch element switch only: GE ranges typically pair a smaller 6-inch element with a larger 8-inch element, and each uses its own dedicated infinite switch. The WB24T10029 is the switch for the 6-inch element. The larger 8-inch element on the same range uses the separate WB24T10025 switch (replaces 769692, AP2024072, AH236750, EA236750, PS236750) instead. The two switches look nearly identical and are easy to mix up when ordering — before you buy, confirm which specific burner has failed and measure or check the element size. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure which switch you need.

Installation Notes
⚠️ 240V Circuit — Unplug Range Or Shut Off Breaker Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning — this switch operates on a 240V circuit, and working on it while powered presents a serious shock hazard. Wear work gloves. Access is from the front of the control panel: remove the burner knob (it typically pulls straight off, though some models use a small retaining clip or screw), then remove the screws securing the control panel or backsplash to reach the switch from behind. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting anything — this switch has multiple terminals and getting one out of order will affect either the wrong burner or its heat-cycling behavior. Disconnect the wire terminals from the old switch, noting or labeling each one, then remove the mounting screws or clips holding the switch to the panel and pull it free. Install the new WB24T10029 in the same orientation, reconnect each wire terminal exactly as labeled, and secure the mounting hardware. Reinstall the control panel or backsplash, press the knob back onto the shaft, restore power, and test the burner through its full range from low to high to confirm smooth, continuous heat adjustment. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, wire terminal pliers (helpful but optional), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need the WB24T10029 or the WB24T10025?
It depends entirely on which burner has failed. Most GE ranges pair a smaller 6-inch element with a larger 8-inch element, and each has its own dedicated infinite switch. The WB24T10029 is for the 6-inch element; the WB24T10025 is for the 8-inch element. Look at your range and identify which specific burner is misbehaving, then measure that element's diameter if you're not sure — the two switches are not interchangeable even though they look nearly identical side by side.
What does "infinite switch" mean, and why does mine only work at one setting?
An infinite switch lets you dial in a continuous range of heat rather than a few fixed positions, by rapidly cycling the element's power on and off at a ratio set by the knob — low settings get short power pulses, high settings get long ones. When the internal contacts wear or weld together from years of cycling, the switch can get stuck feeding constant power (burner always hot) or stop switching at all (burner always off), regardless of where the knob is turned. That "stuck at one heat level" complaint is the classic symptom of a failing infinite switch.
A spill got into the control panel and now the burner won't turn off. Is that the switch?
Very likely, yes. Liquid boilovers and spills are one of the most common causes of infinite switch failure — moisture gets into the switch body, corrodes or bridges the internal contacts, and the switch can end up stuck feeding power continuously even with the knob turned to off. If you suspect this, shut off power to the range immediately at the breaker rather than relying on the knob, since a shorted switch may not respond to it at all.
My burner works but only at high heat no matter where I turn the knob. Could it be something else?
The infinite switch is the most common cause, but it's worth a quick visual check first. Make sure the knob itself is properly seated on its shaft — a knob that's been pushed on at the wrong angle, or whose shaft has worn round, can make it feel like the switch isn't responding even though it is. If the knob is properly seated and turns smoothly through its full range but the heat output doesn't change, the switch's internal contacts have failed and replacement is the correct fix.
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 1,500W, 4.4–7.4A, 240V electrical rating and the heat-cycling behavior of the infinite switch originally installed for the 6-inch element in your GE, Hotpoint, or Kenmore range.

XPARTCO 3387747 Dryer Heating Element Replaces WP3387747
The XPARTCO 3387747 is an aftermarket replacement heating element assembly for Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, and Roper electric dryers. This element is the source of virtually all the heat in the dryer: current flows through a nickel-chromium coil, which glows and radiates heat as the blower pushes air across it and into the drum. Everything downstream — the drum temperature, the drying time, the final dampness of your clothes — depends on this coil working correctly.
Rated 5400W at 240V, with two 5/16" terminals for a direct connection. The nickel-chromium coil is rated at roughly 85% nickel-chromium content for effective, heat-and-abrasion-resistant heating, and it's mounted in high-temperature ceramic insulators that hold it firmly in the frame so it won't loosen or shift under the vibration of a running dryer. Over years of use, the coil itself typically fails with a visible break somewhere along its length — a section simply burns through and the circuit opens, cutting off heat entirely. It directly replaces WP3387747, WP3387747VP, W11045584, W11344457, 80003, 525502, AP6008281, AP2947033, PS344597, PS11741416, EAP11741416, FIX11741416, AWP47520, and PD00002365.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Test Continuity Before Assuming It's The Element Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Access is typically through the rear panel or the front, depending on your model, to reach the heater duct/blower housing area where the element is mounted. Before removing anything, test the old element with a multimeter set to continuity — a healthy element reads continuous end to end, while a failed one (with a visible break in the coil) reads open. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the two wire terminals from the old element, remove the mounting screws or clips holding it in the duct housing, and pull it free. Install the new 3387747 assembly in the same position, reconnect the two wire terminals, and secure the mounting hardware. While the dryer is open, this is a good time to fully clean the exhaust vent ducting from the lint trap to the outside vent hood — restricted airflow is a major cause of heating element failure, and a fresh element installed into a clogged system will likely fail again prematurely. Reassemble the panel, restore power, and run a test cycle to confirm the dryer is heating normally. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, 5/16" wrench, Phillips screwdriver, multimeter, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer has no heat at all. Should I replace the element first, or check something else?
Check the thermal fuse first. A blown thermal fuse produces the exact same "no heat at all" symptom as a failed heating element, and it's a much cheaper, faster part to test and replace. Whirlpool's own service guidance recommends checking the thermal fuse before replacing the element. If the fuse tests good and the dryer still has no heat, the element itself is the next thing to test and likely replace.
How can I tell if the element has actually failed?
The most reliable way is a continuity test with a multimeter — set it to continuity mode, disconnect the element's wires, and touch a probe to each terminal. A healthy element shows continuity (a complete circuit); a failed one shows open (no continuity), which usually corresponds to a visible break or burned-through section somewhere in the coil if you inspect it closely.
Why does the listing recommend cleaning the vent duct during this repair?
Restricted airflow from a lint-clogged exhaust duct is one of the most common root causes of heating element failure — when air can't move through the system properly, heat builds up around the element well beyond its designed operating range, accelerating wear and often leading directly to a burned-through coil. Since you'll already have the dryer open for this repair, cleaning the full duct run from the lint trap to the outside vent hood is a good use of the same trip and helps the new element last.
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 5400W/240V electrical rating, nickel-chromium coil composition, ceramic insulator mounting, and terminal configuration of the original WP3387747 heating element used in compatible Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, and Roper dryers.

XPARTCO WH49X10042 Washer Agitator Coupler
The XPARTCO WH49X10042 is an aftermarket replacement agitator coupling kit for GE top-load washers, and also fits select Hotpoint, RCA, Haier, Monogram, and Café models. Also known as the agitator drive bell or drive block, this small but essential part connects the transmission drive shaft to the agitator base, transmitting the back-and-forth rotational motion that lets the agitator move clothes through the wash cycle.
Made of pale yellow plastic with a matte finish, this coupler measures approximately 3-7/16"L x 3-7/16"W x 3-1/8"H, and includes 1 agitator drive bell plus 1 hold-down bolt. Common causes of failure include normal wear and tear over time, or overuse with heavy or unbalanced loads that place extra strain on the coupler's plastic teeth. Symptoms of a bad coupler include the agitator not moving at all, moving too slowly or weakly, loud banging or grinding noises during operation, or oil stains appearing on clothes. It directly replaces WH43X10032, WH02X10037, WH43X10009, AH1517844, WH02X1200, WH2X10037, WH2X1200, WH43X0137, WH43X137, 175D2110P002, 175D2846P001, LP10042, 1195917, 1264702, AH1482517, EA1482517, EA1517844, EAP1517844, PD00001044, PS1482517, PS1517844, AP3964635, and AP3995059.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning. Wear work gloves. Remove the fabric softener dispenser or cap from the top of the agitator if your model has one. Using a 7/16" socket, remove the hold-down bolt securing the agitator to the transmission drive shaft. Pull the agitator straight up and off the hub — this typically comes off easily by hand once the bolt is removed. Locate the old coupler (drive bell) on the drive shaft and remove it, noting its orientation. Install the new WH49X10042 coupler onto the drive shaft in the same orientation. Place the agitator back down onto the hub, aligning it correctly, and reinstall the hold-down bolt, tightening it securely with the 7/16" socket. Reattach the fabric softener dispenser or cap. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm the agitator moves properly through its full back-and-forth range with no unusual noise. Tools needed: 7/16" socket and ratchet, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My agitator isn't moving at all. Is this the part I need?
Yes, this is the most common symptom of a failed agitator coupler. Since this part is what transmits rotational motion from the transmission to the agitator, worn or stripped plastic teeth inside the coupler can prevent that motion from being transferred, leaving the agitator still or barely moving even though the motor and transmission are working fine.
Is this a difficult repair?
No, this is one of the simpler washer repairs. Multiple customers describe it as very easy: remove a single 7/16" bolt, pull the agitator off the hub by hand, swap the coupler, and reverse the process. No special skills are typically required.
Why does my washer make banging or grinding noise?
A worn agitator coupler can cause this noise as its plastic components degrade and no longer mesh smoothly with the transmission shaft. Replacing the coupler typically resolves this noise along with any accompanying agitation problems.
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 size, material, and drive shaft fit of the original WH49X10042 agitator coupling kit used in compatible GE, Hotpoint, RCA, Haier, Monogram, and Café top-load washers.

XPARTCO XPDC50X5-450R Dual Run Capacitor (50/5 MFD, 450V, Round)
The XPARTCO XPDC50X5-450R is a universal dual run capacitor for central air conditioners, heat pumps, and condensing units. A run capacitor works alongside a single-phase AC motor to keep it running efficiently once it's started, boosting torque and correcting the phase of the current feeding the motor's windings. This is a dual capacitor, meaning it combines two separate capacitors — one for the compressor, one for the condenser fan motor — into a single three-terminal can, which is why nearly every residential outdoor AC unit uses exactly this style of component to run both motors from one part.
Rated 50 MFD for the compressor circuit and 5 MFD for the fan motor circuit, at 450VAC, in a round aluminum can housing. Because a capacitor's voltage rating is a ceiling rather than a fixed match, this 450V-rated capacitor can safely replace an original capacitor rated 370V or 440V — going higher on voltage is always safe, going lower is not. Over time, the dielectric material inside a run capacitor breaks down from heat cycling and electrical stress, causing it to lose capacitance or fail outright. A failing dual capacitor produces a very recognizable set of symptoms: the outdoor unit hums but the compressor or fan won't start, the fan spins slowly or needs a manual push to get going, the system trips the breaker, or the capacitor can itself is visibly bulging, domed, or leaking oily residue at the top.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO XPDC50X5-450R Dual Run Capacitor fixes central air conditioners and heat pumps where the outdoor unit hums but won't start, the compressor or fan motor won't run, the fan spins slowly or needs a manual push, the breaker trips, or the capacitor can is visibly bulged or leaking. 50 MFD (compressor) + 5 MFD (fan) dual capacitor, 450VAC, round, 3-terminal. Universal fit for equipment originally speced at 370V or 440V, since a higher voltage rating is always a safe upgrade. Capacitors store a dangerous electrical charge even after power is disconnected — always discharge before handling.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Outdoor AC unit hums but the compressor won't start
Condenser fan won't spin, or spins slowly and needs a manual push to get going
System trips the breaker shortly after starting
AC blows warm air because the compressor isn't running
Repeated clicking sound from the contactor as it tries and fails to start the motor
Capacitor can visibly bulging, domed on top, or leaking oily residue
System that used to start slowly and has now stopped starting altogether
Burning smell from the outdoor unit's electrical compartment

XPDC50X5-450R
This is a universal component rather than a single-manufacturer part, so the specific OEM number your HVAC system's label references will vary by brand (Goodman, Trane, Carrier, Rheem, York, Lennox, Amana, and others). This capacitor is a correct replacement for any dual run capacitor matching the 50 MFD / 5 MFD rating with a voltage rating of 450V or lower. If you have your original part number, contact our support team and we will verify compatibility before you order.
Compatibility
This dual run capacitor is a universal replacement compatible with central air conditioners, heat pumps, and condensing units across all major HVAC brands, wherever the original capacitor is rated:
50 MFD (compressor) + 5 MFD (fan motor)
370V, 440V, or 450V (this capacitor's 450V rating exceeds and safely replaces either lower rating)
Round can shape with 3 terminals
Note: The MFD (microfarad) rating must match your original capacitor exactly on both sides — do not substitute a different MFD value for either the compressor or fan side. Voltage rating, on the other hand, can be equal to or higher than the original (450V safely replaces 370V or 440V), but never lower. Can shape (round vs. oval) affects only physical fit inside your unit's electrical compartment, not performance. If you're unsure of your original capacitor's specifications, they're printed directly on its can — contact our support team if you'd like help confirming compatibility.
Key Features
Universal dual run capacitor — supports both the compressor and condenser fan motor from one component
50 MFD compressor rating + 5 MFD fan motor rating in a single 3-terminal can
450VAC rating — a safe upgrade replacement for equipment originally speced at 370V or 440V

Installation Notes
⚠️ Danger — Capacitors Store A Dangerous Electrical Charge Shut off power to the outdoor unit at the disconnect box and at the breaker before beginning. A capacitor stores an electrical charge even after power has been disconnected, and that charge can deliver a serious or fatal shock. Before touching any terminal, discharge the capacitor by shorting each pair of terminals together (C-to-Fan, C-to-Herm, and Fan-to-Herm) using an insulated-handle screwdriver, or by using a proper capacitor discharge tool with a resistor. Never short the terminals with a bare metal tool held with your bare hand. If you are not fully comfortable performing a capacitor discharge safely, have a qualified HVAC technician replace this part instead.
⚠️ Photograph The Wiring Before Disconnecting — Match Terminals Exactly Wear work gloves and safety glasses. After confirming the capacitor is fully discharged, photograph the wiring on the old capacitor's terminals before disconnecting anything — dual capacitors are labeled C (Common), Herm or Comp (compressor/hermetic), and Fan, and getting a wire on the wrong terminal can damage the new capacitor or the motor it feeds. Note which terminal each wire came from, or label them individually with tape. Remove the mounting strap or bracket holding the old capacitor in its housing, and disconnect each wire from its terminal. Install the new XPDC50X5-450R in the same mounting position, secure it with the strap or bracket, and reconnect each wire to the matching terminal (C, Herm, and Fan) exactly as labeled. Double-check every connection before restoring power. Restore power at the breaker and disconnect box, and confirm the compressor and fan both start promptly and run smoothly. Tools needed: insulated-handle screwdriver or capacitor discharge tool, nut driver, work gloves, safety glasses.
Frequently Asked Questions
My AC unit hums but won't start. Is this the capacitor?
It's one of the most common causes of exactly that symptom. A run capacitor gives the compressor or fan motor the extra push needed to start turning; without it, the motor can draw power and hum in place without ever actually starting to spin. If you can see the capacitor can and it looks bulged, domed on top, or is leaking a brown oily residue, that's strong visual confirmation of failure.
Can I use a 450V capacitor to replace my old 370V or 440V one?
Yes. Voltage rating is a ceiling, not an exact match requirement — a capacitor rated for a higher voltage than your original will work safely and often lasts longer under the same electrical stress. What you cannot do is go the other direction: never install a capacitor with a lower voltage rating than your original, since that risks premature failure or the capacitor breaking down under normal operating conditions.
Does the round vs. oval shape matter?
Only for physical fit inside your unit's electrical compartment — it has no effect on electrical performance. If your unit's mounting bracket or available space is sized for a round can, use a round capacitor; if it's sized for an oval can, use an oval one. The MFD and voltage ratings are what matter electrically, not the shape.
The fan spins if I give it a push, but won't start on its own. What does that mean?
This is a classic sign of a weak or failing capacitor — it may still have enough charge to keep the motor running once it's already spinning, but not enough to provide the initial starting torque. This is a strong signal to replace the capacitor before it fails completely and leaves you with no cooling at all.
Is this a genuine OEM part?
This is a universal replacement part rather than a brand-specific OEM part. Because dual run capacitors are a standardized component defined by their electrical specifications rather than their manufacturer, this capacitor is a correct replacement for any unit's original capacitor that shares the same 50/5 MFD, 450VAC, round dual run capacitor rating — regardless of which HVAC brand originally installed it.

Common Problems This Part Fixes
Outdoor AC unit hums but the compressor won't start
Condenser fan won't spin, or spins slowly and needs a manual push to get going
System trips the breaker shortly after starting
AC blows warm air because the compressor isn't running
Repeated clicking sound from the contactor as it tries and fails to start the motor
Capacitor can visibly bulging, domed on top, or leaking oily residue
System that used to start slowly and has now stopped starting altogether
Burning smell from the outdoor unit's electrical compartment

XPDC40X5-450R
This is a universal component rather than a single-manufacturer part, so the specific OEM number your HVAC system's label references will vary by brand (Goodman, Trane, Carrier, Rheem, York, Lennox, Amana, and others). This capacitor is a correct replacement for any dual run capacitor matching the 40 MFD / 5 MFD rating with a voltage rating of 450V or lower. If you have your original part number, contact our support team and we will verify compatibility before you order.
Compatibility
This dual run capacitor is a universal replacement compatible with central air conditioners, heat pumps, and condensing units across all major HVAC brands, wherever the original capacitor is rated:
40 MFD (compressor) + 5 MFD (fan motor)
370V, 440V, or 450V (this capacitor's 450V rating exceeds and safely replaces either lower rating)
Round can shape with 3 terminals
Note: The MFD (microfarad) rating must match your original capacitor exactly on both sides — do not substitute a different MFD value for either the compressor or fan side. Voltage rating, on the other hand, can be equal to or higher than the original (450V safely replaces 370V or 440V), but never lower. Can shape (round vs. oval) affects only physical fit inside your unit's electrical compartment, not performance. If you're unsure of your original capacitor's specifications, they're printed directly on its can — contact our support team if you'd like help confirming compatibility.
Key Features
Universal dual run capacitor — supports both the compressor and condenser fan motor from one component
40 MFD compressor rating + 5 MFD fan motor rating in a single 3-terminal can
450VAC rating — a safe upgrade replacement for equipment originally speced at 370V or 440V

Installation Notes
⚠️ Danger — Capacitors Store A Dangerous Electrical Charge Shut off power to the outdoor unit at the disconnect box and at the breaker before beginning. A capacitor stores an electrical charge even after power has been disconnected, and that charge can deliver a serious or fatal shock. Before touching any terminal, discharge the capacitor by shorting each pair of terminals together (C-to-Fan, C-to-Herm, and Fan-to-Herm) using an insulated-handle screwdriver, or by using a proper capacitor discharge tool with a resistor. Never short the terminals with a bare metal tool held with your bare hand. If you are not fully comfortable performing a capacitor discharge safely, have a qualified HVAC technician replace this part instead.
⚠️ Photograph The Wiring Before Disconnecting — Match Terminals Exactly Wear work gloves and safety glasses. After confirming the capacitor is fully discharged, photograph the wiring on the old capacitor's terminals before disconnecting anything — dual capacitors are labeled C (Common), Herm or Comp (compressor/hermetic), and Fan, and getting a wire on the wrong terminal can damage the new capacitor or the motor it feeds. Note which terminal each wire came from, or label them individually with tape. Remove the mounting strap or bracket holding the old capacitor in its housing, and disconnect each wire from its terminal. Install the new XPDC40X5-450R in the same mounting position, secure it with the strap or bracket, and reconnect each wire to the matching terminal (C, Herm, and Fan) exactly as labeled. Double-check every connection before restoring power. Restore power at the breaker and disconnect box, and confirm the compressor and fan both start promptly and run smoothly. Tools needed: insulated-handle screwdriver or capacitor discharge tool, nut driver, work gloves, safety glasses.
Frequently Asked Questions
My AC unit hums but won't start. Is this the capacitor?
It's one of the most common causes of exactly that symptom. A run capacitor gives the compressor or fan motor the extra push needed to start turning; without it, the motor can draw power and hum in place without ever actually starting to spin. If you can see the capacitor can and it looks bulged, domed on top, or is leaking a brown oily residue, that's strong visual confirmation of failure.
Can I use a 450V capacitor to replace my old 370V or 440V one?
Yes. Voltage rating is a ceiling, not an exact match requirement — a capacitor rated for a higher voltage than your original will work safely and often lasts longer under the same electrical stress. What you cannot do is go the other direction: never install a capacitor with a lower voltage rating than your original, since that risks premature failure or the capacitor breaking down under normal operating conditions.
Does the round vs. oval shape matter?
Only for physical fit inside your unit's electrical compartment — it has no effect on electrical performance. If your unit's mounting bracket or available space is sized for a round can, use a round capacitor; if it's sized for an oval can, use an oval one. The MFD and voltage ratings are what matter electrically, not the shape.
The fan spins if I give it a push, but won't start on its own. What does that mean?
This is a classic sign of a weak or failing capacitor — it may still have enough charge to keep the motor running once it's already spinning, but not enough to provide the initial starting torque. This is a strong signal to replace the capacitor before it fails completely and leaves you with no cooling at all.
Is this a genuine OEM part?
This is a universal replacement part rather than a brand-specific OEM part. Because dual run capacitors are a standardized component defined by their electrical specifications rather than their manufacturer, this capacitor is a correct replacement for any unit's original capacitor that shares the same 40/5 MFD, 450VAC, round dual run capacitor rating — regardless of which HVAC brand originally installed it.

XPARTCO 279973 Dryer Thermostat Kit
The XPARTCO 279973 is an aftermarket replacement dryer thermostat and thermal cut-off kit compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool-family electric dryers including Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Inglis, Roper, and Admiral. The kit contains two components — the high-limit thermostat (L295-80F) and the thermal cut-off fuse — both located on the heating element housing. Together they protect the dryer's heating element from overheating: the high-limit thermostat monitors element temperature and cuts power if it exceeds safe levels, then resets when cooled. The thermal cut-off fuse is a backup one-time device that permanently opens the circuit if the thermostat fails to protect the element.
Both parts are mounted on the side of the heating element housing and can be accessed through the dryer's back panel. The thermal cut-off fuse is a non-resettable one-time device — once it opens, it must be replaced. The 279973 kit includes both parts, an instruction sheet, and hardware. It directly replaces 3391913, 3404151, 3404152, 3977395, 8318314, 897710, 279973VP, AP3094323, and several additional cross-reference numbers. Note: this kit is for electric dryers only. Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 279973 Dryer Thermostat Kit fixes Whirlpool-family electric dryers with no heat, overheating, or a dryer that shuts off too early. Kit includes the L295-80F high-limit thermostat (auto-reset, opens at 295°F) and the thermal cut-off fuse (352°F, one-time). Both mount on the heating element housing. Electric dryers only. Replaces 3391913, 3404151, 8318314, 897710, AP3094323. Compatible with Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Inglis, Roper, and Admiral.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Electric Dryers Only Disconnect power before beginning. Remove the back panel of the dryer by unscrewing the perimeter screws to expose the heating element housing. Both the high-limit thermostat and thermal cut-off fuse are mounted on the side of the heating element housing — the thermostat is typically the larger component and the thermal cut-off fuse is smaller. Test each component with a multimeter before removing (both should show closed continuity at room temperature; the failed one will read open). Photograph the wiring before disconnecting. Disconnect the wires, remove the mounting screws, and install the new components in the same positions. Reconnect the wires and mounting screws, reinstall the back panel, restore power, and run a test cycle to confirm heat. Tip: Before running the dryer, clean the full length of the exhaust duct — a clogged vent is the most common cause of overheating and a blown thermal cut-off fuse. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, multimeter.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the high-limit thermostat and the thermal cut-off fuse in this kit?
The high-limit thermostat (L295-80F) is a resettable safety switch that opens at 295°F to cut power to the heating element and resets automatically when the temperature drops. It is the primary protection against overheating during normal operation. The thermal cut-off fuse is a one-time backup device rated at 352°F — it permanently opens the circuit if the heating element temperature climbs beyond the point the thermostat should have caught. Once the cut-off fuse opens, it must be replaced; it does not reset on its own. If the cut-off fuse has blown, it usually means the high-limit thermostat also failed to do its job and should be replaced at the same time — which is exactly what this kit provides.
How do I test these parts with a multimeter?
Unplug the dryer and remove the back panel to access the heating element housing. Disconnect each component from the wiring and probe both terminals with a multimeter set to continuity or resistance mode. At room temperature, both the high-limit thermostat and the thermal cut-off fuse should show closed continuity (near-zero resistance). Any component that reads open circuit (no continuity) has failed and needs to be replaced. The thermal cut-off fuse reads open even after it cools — it is non-resettable. The high-limit thermostat may read open at room temperature if it has failed internally rather than by an overheat trip.
How is the 279973 kit different from the XP6974 thermostat kit?
The 279973 is a 2-part kit — high-limit thermostat and thermal cut-off fuse — designed specifically for the heating element housing of Whirlpool-family electric dryers. The XP6974 is a 4-part kit — cycling thermostat, thermal fuse, high-limit thermostat, and thermal cut-off — designed for Whirlpool-family gas and electric dryers, covering both the exhaust duct components and the burner/element housing components. If your electric dryer is showing no-heat and you need only the heating element housing components, the 279973 kit covers exactly those two parts. If you want to replace all thermal components in one repair, the XP6974 covers a broader set.
Why does the thermal cut-off fuse keep blowing?
If the thermal cut-off fuse blows repeatedly after replacement, it almost always means there is an underlying overheating condition causing the heating element housing to run hotter than it should. The most common cause is a clogged or restricted exhaust vent — lint accumulation in the duct reduces airflow, trapping heat inside the dryer cabinet and around the element. Other causes include a failed cycling thermostat that is not regulating element temperature correctly, a stuck heating element relay, or a dryer in an enclosed space with inadequate ventilation. Always clean the full exhaust duct and check the cycling thermostat (WP3387134) before replacing the thermal cut-off fuse a second time.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement kit built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured to match the temperature ratings and specifications of the original 279973 high-limit thermostat and thermal cut-off fuse kit.

XPARTCO XPDC70X5-450R Dual Run Capacitor (70/5 MFD, 450V, Round)
The XPARTCO XPDC70X5-450R is a universal dual run capacitor for central air conditioners, heat pumps, and condensing units. A run capacitor works alongside a single-phase AC motor to keep it running efficiently once it's started, boosting torque and correcting the phase of the current feeding the motor's windings. This is a dual capacitor, meaning it combines two separate capacitors — one for the compressor, one for the condenser fan motor — into a single three-terminal can, which is why nearly every residential outdoor AC unit uses exactly this style of component to run both motors from one part.
Rated 70 MFD for the compressor circuit and 5 MFD for the fan motor circuit, at 450VAC, in a round aluminum can housing. Because a capacitor's voltage rating is a ceiling rather than a fixed match, this 450V-rated capacitor can safely replace an original capacitor rated 370V or 440V — going higher on voltage is always safe, going lower is not. Over time, the dielectric material inside a run capacitor breaks down from heat cycling and electrical stress, causing it to lose capacitance or fail outright. A failing dual capacitor produces a very recognizable set of symptoms: the outdoor unit hums but the compressor or fan won't start, the fan spins slowly or needs a manual push to get going, the system trips the breaker, or the capacitor can itself is visibly bulging, domed, or leaking oily residue at the top.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO XPDC70X5-450R Dual Run Capacitor fixes central air conditioners and heat pumps where the outdoor unit hums but won't start, the compressor or fan motor won't run, the fan spins slowly or needs a manual push, the breaker trips, or the capacitor can is visibly bulged or leaking. 70 MFD (compressor) + 5 MFD (fan) dual capacitor, 450VAC, round, 3-terminal. Universal fit for equipment originally speced at 370V or 440V, since a higher voltage rating is always a safe upgrade. Capacitors store a dangerous electrical charge even after power is disconnected — always discharge before handling.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Turn Off The Burner And Let It Cool Make sure all burners are off and cool. Pull the old knob straight off its spindle. Line up the new knob with the spindle and push it straight on until it is fully seated, then check that the off-position marking lines up and the burner responds. If the knob spins freely on a good spindle or the burner still doesn't respond, the burner switch may need replacing instead.
Frequently Asked Questions
My burner won't heat or start. Is a new knob the fix?
Sometimes. If the old knob is stripped, broken or loose, a new knob can fix it. If the knob is in good condition, the burner switch or element is more likely the cause, so check those before replacing the knob.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part from Whirlpool, not an aftermarket equivalent.
