17438200000109 Genuine OEM Midea Dryer Heating Element Assembly
The 17438200000109 is a Genuine OEM Midea replacement dryer heating element assembly compatible with a wide range of Midea and Insignia electric dryers, including the MLE41N1AWW, MLE43A3AWW, MLE47A3AGG, MLE47C3AWW, MLE47C4AWW, MLE47R5BWW, MLTE37N1BWW, CDE41N1AW, CLADE67W, LE43A3AWW, MDD160A2301E1305, and Insignia NS-FDRE67WH8A-C series. The heating element uses electrical resistance to generate the heat that warms air as it circulates through the dryer drum, evaporating moisture from wet clothes. Without a functioning heating element, the dryer will tumble and run normally but produce no heat, leaving clothes damp at the end of a cycle.
As a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Midea to factory specifications, the 17438200000109 is the complete heater assembly housing. It directly replaces 302461060002 and MDA17438200000109 (alternate catalog references for the same assembly). Note: when an electric dryer heating element fails due to overheating, the paired high-limit thermostat (Midea 17400513000460) is often stressed as well — inspecting or replacing it at the same time is recommended. Installs in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting Disconnect power before beginning. Pull the dryer away from the wall and remove the rear service panel to expose the heating element housing. Take a photo of the wiring before disconnecting anything — this is important since the high-limit thermostat and thermal cut-off wiring are both in the same area as the element leads and it's easy to mix up terminals. Disconnect the high-limit thermostat/thermal cut-off wiring and the element leads from the old heating element assembly. Remove the mounting screws securing the element housing and slide the old assembly out. Install the new 17438200000109 assembly in the same orientation, reconnect all wires snugly to the correct terminals as documented in your photo, and reinstall the mounting screws. Reassemble the rear service panel, restore power, and run a test heat cycle to confirm the dryer is heating properly. Tip: while the rear panel is open, inspect the high-limit thermostat (Midea 17400513000460) — if the original element failed due to overheating, the thermostat may also need replacement. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my dryer's heating element has failed?
The clearest sign is a dryer that tumbles and runs through a complete cycle normally but produces little or no heat, leaving clothes damp or only partially dried. You may also notice the dryer taking significantly longer than usual to dry a load as it tries to compensate with extended tumbling time. Visually inspecting the element after removing the rear panel can reveal burn marks, breaks in the coil, or visible arcing damage. A multimeter continuity test on the disconnected element will also confirm failure — a working element shows continuity, while a failed element reads an open circuit.
Should I replace the thermostat at the same time as the heating element?
It's a good idea to inspect it. When a heating element fails due to overheating — rather than simple end-of-life wear — the paired high-limit thermostat (Midea 17400513000460) located in the same area can also be stressed by the same heat event. Since the rear panel must already be open to replace the element, checking the thermostat's continuity at the same time is a quick step that can prevent a repeat repair if the thermostat is also on the verge of failing.
What is the difference between 17438200000109 and 302461060002?
These are the same heating element assembly. 302461060002 and MDA17438200000109 are alternate catalog reference numbers used by some parts suppliers for the identical Midea heater assembly. If your dryer's parts diagram or supplier listing shows either of these numbers, the 17438200000109 is the correct part and this listing covers all three references.
Does this element fit my Insignia dryer?
Yes — Insignia is a Best Buy house brand, and several Insignia electric dryer models (including the NS-FDRE67WH8A-C and NS-TDRE67W1) are manufactured by Midea and use the same internal components, including this heating element assembly. Always verify your specific Insignia model number before ordering to confirm compatibility.
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 heating element assembly installed in compatible Midea and Insignia electric dryers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

W11025156 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer Heating Element
The W11025156 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM heating element for Whirlpool, Kenmore, and Maytag electric dryers. This element is the source of virtually all the heat in the dryer: it converts electrical energy into heat, which the blower then circulates through the drum to dry your clothes. Even heat distribution from a properly functioning element is what keeps drying times consistent and prevents the dryer from having to run longer cycles to compensate.
Over years of use, the coil typically fails with a visible break somewhere along its length — a section simply burns through and the circuit opens, cutting off heat entirely. Symptoms of a failing element include clothes taking too long to dry, clothes coming out cold, or the dryer not heating at all. This part is also essential for preventing overheating, since a properly functioning element operates within its designed parameters rather than drawing excess current trying to compensate for a partial failure. It directly replaces W10608823.
Quick Answer
The W11025156 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer Heating Element fixes Whirlpool, Kenmore, and Maytag electric dryers with no heat, insufficient heat, or drying times that have gotten noticeably longer. Replaces W10608823. Before replacing, clean out or inspect your exhaust venting — restricted airflow is a common cause of premature heating element failure, and a fresh element installed into a clogged system is likely to fail again.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer runs a full cycle but produces no heat at all
Dryer produces some heat, but not enough to dry clothes properly
Drying times that have gotten noticeably longer than they used to
Clothes coming out cold or barely warm at the end of a cycle
Visible break or burned-through section in the heating coil
Dryer not drying laundry despite completing a normal cycle

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Clean The Vent While You Have The Panel Open Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Access is typically through the back panel: a 1/4" ratchet with a 5/16" socket handles most of the screws, and using a socket adapter on a screw gun can speed up removing and reinstalling the panel, since there are several screws to deal with. With the panel off, locate the heating element in the duct housing. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the 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 W11025156 in the same position, reconnect the 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" ratchet, 5/16" socket, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer runs a full cycle but the clothes are still wet. Is this the heating element?
It's a strong possibility, especially if you've noticed drying times gradually getting longer before the dryer stopped heating altogether. One customer described exactly this symptom — "dryer not drying laundry" — and resolved it with this exact replacement element.
Do I need any special tools for this repair?
Just basic hand tools. A 1/4" ratchet with a 5/16" socket handles the back panel screws on most models. Using a socket adapter on a screw gun can speed up the process, since there are several screws to remove and reinstall on the back panel alone.
Why does the listing recommend cleaning the vent 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 a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original coil design and electrical rating of the heating element originally installed in your dryer.

WP8544771 Dryer Genuine OEM Heating Element
The WP8544771 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM heating element assembly for Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Amana, Crosley, and Inglis electric dryers. This assembly includes the housing with the heating element coil and insulators attached, and is what generates the heat used to dry your clothes throughout the cycle.
Rated 5400 watts, 240 volts. Over time, the coil can burn through at a weak point, causing an open circuit and a complete loss of heat. According to Whirlpool's own guidance, if a dryer stops heating, the heating element may have failed, but it's not actually the most common cause — a blown thermal fuse is more frequently the culprit, so it's worth checking that first. Symptoms of a failed heating element include the dryer running a full cycle with no heat, insufficient heat, or drying times that have gradually gotten longer. It directly replaces 8544771, W10836011, WP8544771VP, 1180054, AP6013115, AWP48654, DE4771, EAP11746337, PAT NO 7154072, PD00002399, PS11746337.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — A 1/4" Dowel Or Rod Helps Release The Rear Clip Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. On many models, the heating element assembly can be removed from the front after removing the bottom "toe" panel. There's also a clip at the back of the assembly where it connects to the warm air duct leading into the dryer drum — this clip can be released from the front using a piece of 1/4" dowel or rod, which saves you from having to remove the back cover separately. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the wire terminals from the old element, release the rear clip, and pull the assembly free. Since the thermal fuse and high-limit thermostat typically attach directly to this heating element assembly, this is a good opportunity to inspect or replace them at the same time, even if they're still technically working, since they share the same duty cycle and stress. Install the new 8544771 in the same position, reconnect the wire terminals, and re-engage the rear clip. Reassemble the toe panel or back cover. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm the dryer is heating normally. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, 1/4" dowel or rod, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer isn't heating. Should I replace the heating element first?
Not necessarily as your first step. Per Whirlpool's own guidance, while a failed heating element can cause a no-heat symptom, it's not actually the most common cause — a blown thermal fuse is more frequently the reason a dryer stops heating. It's worth checking the thermal fuse first, since it's a simpler and less expensive part to test and replace.
Is there an easier way to release the rear clip without removing the back cover?
Yes. One customer found that the clip at the back of the heating element assembly, where it connects to the warm air duct, can be released from the front of the dryer using a piece of 1/4" dowel or rod, avoiding the need to remove the back cover separately. They only discovered this after already taking the back cover off, so it's worth trying this approach first.
Should I replace the thermal fuse and thermostat while I'm in there?
It's worth considering. Since the thermal cut-off fuse and high-limit thermostat typically attach directly to the heating element assembly, one customer chose to replace both at the same time as the element, even though they were still technically working, simply because they were already accessible during the same repair. Our 280148 kit bundles the matching 8557403 thermostat and 8318314 fuse for this exact purpose.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original coil design, wattage, and housing configuration of the heating element assembly originally installed in your dryer.

XPARTCO 5300622034 Dryer Heating Element Coil (Restring)
The XPARTCO 5300622034 is an aftermarket replacement heating coil, sold as a restring, for Frigidaire-built electric dryers. A restring replaces the burned-out coil inside your dryer's existing heater housing, so you do not need to replace the whole heater assembly. It is a cost-saving repair for a dryer that runs but no longer makes heat.
This is a direct-fit aftermarket replacement for the original Frigidaire coil. It has 5/16" terminals. A version with 1/4" terminals has a different part number, so check the terminals on your old coil before ordering.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 5300622034 Heating Element Coil fixes a Frigidaire, Tappan, White-Westinghouse, Gibson, or Kelvinator electric dryer that tumbles but doesn't heat, or heats weakly. It restrings the existing element housing with 5/16" terminals. Classic symptom: the drum spins and the timer runs, but clothes come out cold and damp.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer runs but produces no heat
Clothes come out damp after a full cycle
Dryer heats weakly or takes very long to dry
Visible break or burn in the heating coil
Coil failure confirmed by a continuity test

Remove the panel that gives access to the heater housing per your model's service guide, and disconnect the wires, noting their positions. Remove the old coil and install the new one following the original coil's path through the insulators, then reassemble. Before testing, make sure no part of the coil touches the metal housing. Clean the lint trap and check the exhaust vent for restrictions, since poor airflow shortens element life.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer spins but won't heat. Is this the part I need?
A burned-out heating coil is a common cause. Unplug the dryer and test the element for continuity first. If there is no continuity, the coil has failed. A tripped thermal fuse or a failed thermostat can cause the same symptom, so check those too.
What is a restring?
A restring is a replacement coil that you install in your dryer's existing heater housing, instead of replacing the entire heater assembly. It is usually the lower-cost repair if the housing is in good condition.
What are the terminal sizes?
This coil has 5/16" terminals. A similar coil with 1/4" terminals has a different part number, so compare the terminals on your old element before ordering.
Will this fit my dryer?
It is listed for many Frigidaire-built electric dryers, but the model list above is only a sample. Check your model number against your parts diagram, or contact our support team and we'll verify it before you order.

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

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

XPARTCO XP6974 Dryer Thermostat Kit Replaces WP3387134, WP3392519, W10900067, 279816
The XPARTCO XP6974 is an aftermarket dryer thermostat kit containing four thermal components for Whirlpool-family electric and gas dryers including Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, Roper, Admiral, Estate, Crosley, Inglis, and Magic Chef. The kit includes the cycling thermostat (WP3387134), thermal fuse (WP3392519), high-limit thermostat and thermal cut-off kit (279816 / W10900067) — the complete set of heat-sensing and safety components that regulate dryer temperature and prevent dangerous overheating.
These four components work together to control and protect the dryer's heating system. When any one of them fails, the dryer may produce no heat, overheat, run too long, or stop mid-cycle. Because a failed thermal fuse is almost always caused by an underlying overheating condition that also stresses the other components, replacing all four together in a single repair is the recommended approach. Includes all wiring hardware needed for installation. Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO XP6974 Dryer Thermostat Kit fixes Whirlpool-family dryers that produce no heat, overheat, take too long to dry, or stop mid-cycle. Includes all four thermal components: cycling thermostat (L155-25), thermal fuse (196°F), high-limit thermostat (L250-80), and thermal cut-off (309°F). Compatible with Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, Roper, Admiral, Estate, Crosley, Inglis, and Magic Chef electric and gas dryers.
Common Problems This Kit Fixes
Dryer produces no heat — thermal fuse or high-limit thermostat has blown
Dryer takes multiple cycles or very long time to dry clothes
Dryer overheats — clothes or drum too hot to touch after a cycle
Dryer shuts off mid-cycle and will not restart
Dryer tumbles normally but generates no heat at all
Dryer runs too long because cycling thermostat is not regulating temperature
Repeated thermal fuse failures — underlying thermostat fault causing recurring overheating

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer and Shut Off Gas Before Starting Disconnect power (and shut off gas for gas dryers) before beginning. Remove the back panel of the dryer to access the heating element housing and exhaust duct. The thermal fuse (WP3392519) and cycling thermostat (WP3387134) are located on the exhaust duct or blower housing — disconnect the wires, unscrew the mounting screws, and install the new parts in the same positions. The high-limit thermostat and thermal cut-off (279816 kit) are located on the heating element housing — disconnect the wires and unscrew the mounting screws to remove the old parts and install the new ones. Reconnect all wires to the correct terminals — take a photo before disconnecting to reference during reinstallation. Reassemble the back panel, restore power, and run a test cycle to verify heat. Tip: Before running the dryer, also clean the full length of the exhaust duct — a clogged vent is the most common root cause of dryer overheating and repeated thermal fuse failures. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does each part in this kit do?
The cycling thermostat (WP3387134) monitors the air temperature in the exhaust duct and cycles the heating element on and off to maintain the correct drying temperature — it is the part that controls how hot the dryer gets during normal operation. The thermal fuse (WP3392519) is a one-time safety device that permanently cuts power to the heating element if the dryer overheats above 196°F — it is the most common cause of no-heat in Whirlpool-family dryers. The high-limit thermostat opens at approximately 250°F to cut heating element power if temperature gets too high, and resets automatically when it cools. The thermal cut-off is a backup one-time fuse on the heating element that opens at 309°F if the high-limit thermostat fails to protect the heater.
Why should I replace all four parts instead of just the one that failed?
When a thermal fuse blows, it almost always blew because the dryer overheated — and that overheating event put significant stress on all the other thermal components as well. A failing cycling thermostat is the most common cause of repeated thermal fuse failures: if the cycling thermostat stops regulating temperature correctly, the dryer runs too hot, the high-limit thermostat is repeatedly stressed, and the thermal fuse eventually blows. Replacing just the fuse without replacing the cycling thermostat means the same overheating will blow the new fuse. Replacing all four parts at once eliminates that risk in a single repair.
How do I test these parts with a multimeter?
Set the multimeter to continuity or resistance mode. The thermal fuse (WP3392519), cycling thermostat (WP3387134), and high-limit thermostat should all show closed continuity (near-zero resistance) at room temperature. The thermal cut-off should also show closed continuity at room temperature. Any part that reads open (no continuity / infinite resistance) at room temperature has failed and needs to be replaced. A blown thermal fuse or cut-off will always read open — they are one-time devices and cannot reset.
What causes the thermal fuse to blow repeatedly?
The most common cause by far is a clogged exhaust vent — lint accumulation inside the dryer duct restricts airflow, causing heat to build up inside the dryer cabinet until the thermal fuse trips. Always clean the full length of the exhaust duct before and after replacing these parts. Other causes include a failing cycling thermostat that is not regulating temperature correctly, a stuck heating element relay, or a dryer placed in an enclosed space without adequate ventilation.
Is this kit compatible with both electric and gas dryers?
Yes — the XP6974 kit is compatible with both electric and gas Whirlpool-family dryers. Both types use the same cycling thermostat (WP3387134) and thermal fuse (WP3392519). The high-limit thermostat and thermal cut-off (279816 kit) are located on the heating element in electric models and on the burner assembly area in gas models. Always verify your specific model number before ordering to confirm all four parts apply to your dryer.

AGM30045804 Genuine OEM LG Dryer Thermistor and Thermostat Kit
The AGM30045804 is a genuine LG OEM high-limit thermostat and thermistor kit for LG dryers. These two components work together in the same temperature-regulation circuit: the thermistor is a temperature sensor, mounted in the blower housing with its wire harness included, that continuously reports drum temperature to the control board so it can fine-tune heat output throughout the cycle. The high-limit thermostat is a safety switch that automatically shuts off the heating element if temperatures climb past a safe threshold, then resets itself once the dryer cools, without needing to be replaced the way a thermal fuse does.
Because these two parts share the same circuit and tend to wear or fail around a similar timeline, LG sells and services them together as one kit rather than as separate individual parts. Symptoms of failure in this circuit include the dryer overheating (which can scorch clothing or, left unaddressed, pose a fire risk), the dryer running with little or no heat, drying times that have become inconsistent, an error code related to temperature control on the display, or clothes coming out damp after a full cycle. It directly replaces 6931EL3003C, 6323EL2001B, 6931EL3003F, 6931EL3004B, AP7206815, EAP16732335, and PS16732335.
Quick Answer
The AGM30045804 Genuine OEM LG Dryer Thermistor and Thermostat Kit fixes LG (and select Kenmore, GE-branded LG-built) dryers with overheating, little or no heat, inconsistent drying times, a temperature-related error code, or clothes coming out damp after a full cycle. High-limit thermostat + thermistor with wire harness. Replaces 6931EL3003C, 6323EL2001B, 6931EL3003F, 6931EL3004B, AP7206815, EAP16732335, PS16732335. If you've already replaced the high-limit thermostat alone and the problem returns, this combined kit — which also addresses the thermistor — is the next step.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Let It Cool Fully First Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning, and allow the dryer to cool completely if it was recently run. Wear work gloves. Access on many LG models follows this general sequence: remove the lint screen, then remove the two front panel screws underneath it, the two screws on the face of the panel, and the two screws holding the blower cover in place. Disconnect the door switch connector and remove the front panel. With the front open, release the drive belt from the tensioner and remove the drum to access the blower housing where the thermistor is located. Photograph the wiring connections before disconnecting anything, since the thermistor and high-limit thermostat can be easy to confuse with other similar-looking components nearby. Disconnect and remove the old thermistor and high-limit thermostat, noting their exact mounting positions. Install the new components from this kit in the same positions, reconnecting wiring exactly as photographed. Reinstall the drum, re-tension the belt over the tensioner, and reassemble the front panel, blower cover, and lint screen area in reverse order. Restore power and run a full test cycle to confirm normal, consistent heating with no premature shutoffs. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
I already replaced the high-limit thermostat, but it keeps tripping. Why would I need this kit instead?
This is a well-documented pattern. If the thermistor — the sensor that reports temperature to the control board — is misreading heat, the control can keep driving the heating element past the point where the high-limit thermostat has to trip repeatedly to protect the dryer, even with a brand-new thermostat installed. Replacing the thermistor alongside the thermostat addresses the root cause rather than just the symptom, which is exactly why LG packages them together as one kit.
What's the difference between the thermistor and the high-limit thermostat?
The thermistor is a sensor, not a switch — it's a variable resistor whose resistance changes with temperature, and the control board reads that value continuously to regulate heat output throughout the cycle. The high-limit thermostat is a safety switch that does one job: it shuts off the heating element automatically if temperature exceeds a safe limit, then resets itself once things cool down. A failing thermistor causes inconsistent or inaccurate heat regulation; a failing high-limit thermostat causes the dryer to shut off unexpectedly or fail to protect against overheating.
My parts diagram shows more thermostat-like parts than what's in this kit. Did I order the wrong thing?
Not necessarily — some LG dryer models have additional related components, such as a separate blower thermostat, that are not part of this specific kit. This kit covers the high-limit thermostat and thermistor. If your repair calls for additional related parts, or if you're not sure exactly which components your model needs, contact our support team with your model number and we'll help you confirm the complete parts list before you order.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by LG to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It includes the same resistance values, switch threshold, and wire harness configuration as the high-limit thermostat and thermistor originally installed in your dryer.

XPARTCO 280148 Dryer Thermostat Set
The XPARTCO 280148 is an aftermarket replacement thermal fuse and high-limit thermostat set for Whirlpool electric dryers, and also fits select Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, Roper, Estate, Crosley, Admiral, KitchenAid, and Norge models. This set bundles the 8557403 high-limit thermostat, which monitors temperature and automatically cuts power to the heating element if it overheats, then resets itself once the dryer cools, together with the 8318314 thermal fuse, a one-time backup safety device that permanently opens the circuit if temperatures climb high enough that the thermostat alone doesn't prevent an overheat.
These two parts are sold together and commonly fail around the same time, since they protect the same circuit and respond to the same underlying overheating conditions — most often restricted exhaust venting. Symptoms include the dryer not heating at all, taking longer than normal to dry a load, or overheating before shutting down. It directly replaces 280148VP, 1175772, AP3874047, PS991443, EAP991443, and 314634.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 280148 Dryer Thermostat Set fixes Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, Roper, Estate, Crosley, Admiral, KitchenAid, and Norge electric dryers with no heat, drying that takes too long, or a dryer that overheats before shutting down. Includes the 8557403 high-limit thermostat (auto-resetting) and 8318314 thermal fuse (one-time). Replaces 280148VP, 1175772, AP3874047, PS991443, EAP991443, 314634. Always inspect and clean the exhaust venting when replacing this set — a blown thermal fuse is a symptom of restricted airflow, and skipping the vent check leads to repeat failures.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Inspect And Clean The Venting Before Reassembling Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Access is typically through the rear panel, near the heating element and blower housing where both components are mounted. Photograph the wiring connections before disconnecting anything, since the thermostat and fuse can be easy to swap positions by mistake. Remove each old component from its mounting position, noting orientation, and disconnect its wiring. Before reassembling, fully inspect and clean the dryer's exhaust vent, from the lint trap housing all the way to the exterior vent hood, checking for lint buildup, crushed sections, or excessive length. Restricted airflow is the leading cause of failure for both of these components, and skipping the vent check often leads to repeat failures even with new parts installed. Install the new 8557403 thermostat and 8318314 thermal fuse from this set in the same positions as the parts they replace, reconnecting wiring exactly as photographed. Reassemble the panel, restore power, and run a full test cycle to confirm normal, consistent heating with no premature shutoffs. Tools needed: Phillips or nut driver (model-dependent), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why replace both the thermostat and the fuse together instead of just the one that failed?
These two parts protect the same circuit at different thresholds and tend to fail from the same underlying cause. If the high-limit thermostat isn't regulating temperature correctly, the thermal fuse often ends up blowing as the backup safety measure. Replacing only one risks the other failing again shortly after, so they're sold and serviced together as a set.
I replaced this set and the dryer failed again. What should I check?
This is a strong sign the underlying cause — almost always restricted airflow — was never addressed. Thoroughly inspect and clean the entire exhaust path from the lint trap housing to the outside vent hood, checking for lint buildup, crushed or kinked ductwork, or a vent run that's too long. Failing to correct a venting issue will cause repetitive failures of this set even when it's brand new.
Should I replace the heating element at the same time?
It's worth considering if your dryer's heating element (commonly WP8544771 on compatible models) is original and has been running alongside a failing thermostat, since sustained overheating can stress the element as well. It's not required, but since you'll already have the panel open for this repair, it's a reasonable time to inspect the element for visible damage.
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 temperature thresholds and mounting configuration of the original 280148 high-limit thermostat and thermal fuse set used in compatible Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, Roper, and related electric dryers.
