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.

XPARTCO 316489403 Gas Oven Igniter
The XPARTCO 316489403 is an aftermarket replacement gas oven igniter compatible with a wide range of Frigidaire, Electrolux, Crosley, Gibson, Kelvinator, Tappan, White-Westinghouse, Ikea, and Kenmore gas ranges, ovens, and stoves. The oven igniter is the component that lights the gas burner — when you set the oven to bake or broil, electricity flows through the igniter, heating it until it glows bright orange. This heat both ignites the gas and draws enough current to open the gas safety valve, releasing gas to the burner. When the igniter weakens with age, it may still glow but no longer pull enough current to open the safety valve — so the oven fails to light, takes a long time to heat, or heats unevenly.
This is a flat-style, open-cage igniter. Electrical rating: 3.2–3.6 amps, 120V AC. Made of silicon carbide and ceramic for high heat resistance and long service life. Overall dimensions: 3-1/2"L x 1-3/4"W x 13/16"H with a 1.5" ceramic block; the lead and plug measure approximately 16" long. Includes the flat-style igniter assembly with bracket and leads/plug. It directly replaces 316489403, 5304508786, 7316489403, 501RB, 1513415, AH2364063, AP4433236, EA2364063, EAP2364063, PD00000756, and PS2364063. Important: the igniter element is fragile — handle it only by the bracket, never by the element itself. Installs in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Gas Appliance Safety Warning This part is installed in a gas oven. Shut off the gas supply to the range at the shutoff valve and disconnect electrical power at the breaker before beginning any repair. After installation, if you smell gas at any point, leave the area immediately and contact your gas utility provider. If you're not comfortable working around gas components, have this repair done by a qualified appliance technician. Improper gas appliance repairs can cause fire, explosion, or carbon monoxide hazards.
⚠️ Handle the Igniter by the Bracket Only — The Element Is Fragile Disconnect power at the breaker and shut off the gas supply before beginning. Wear work gloves and safety glasses. The silicon carbide igniter element is extremely fragile and cracks easily — handle the new igniter only by its metal bracket, never by touching the element itself. Skin oils and any impact can shorten its life or break it. Locate the igniter: the bake igniter is beneath the oven floor panel (remove the oven racks, then the floor panel, and on some models the bottom drawer for access), while the broil igniter is mounted near the top of the oven cavity. Photograph the wiring connection before disconnecting. Disconnect the old igniter's wire leads at the connector (they're often joined with ceramic wire nuts). Remove the screws securing the old igniter bracket and lift it out. Install the new 316489403 by securing its bracket in the same position and orientation, then connect the wire leads (use the included or existing ceramic wire nuts — regular wire nuts can't handle the heat). Route the leads away from the burner flame. Restore gas and power. Test by setting the oven to bake (or broil, if that's the igniter you replaced) — the igniter should glow bright orange within a minute or so, and the burner should light within about 60–90 seconds. Tools needed: Nut driver, Phillips screwdriver, work gloves, safety glasses.
Frequently Asked Questions
My igniter glows but the oven won't light — do I still need to replace it?
Yes — this is actually the most common way an oven igniter fails, and it's counterintuitive. The igniter has two jobs: to get hot enough to ignite the gas, AND to draw enough electrical current to open the gas safety valve. As an igniter ages, it can still glow (so it looks like it's working) but weaken to the point where it no longer pulls enough current to open the safety valve — so no gas is released and the burner never lights. If your igniter glows orange but the burner doesn't light within about 90 seconds, the igniter is weak and needs replacement. A good rule of thumb: if it takes more than 90 seconds from glow to flame, the igniter is on its way out.
Is the 316489403 the bake igniter or the broil igniter?
This is an important distinction, and there's genuine confusion in the industry about it. On many Frigidaire gas ranges, the 316489403 is used as the broil (upper) igniter with an approximately 14–16" lead, while the bake (lower) igniter is a different part — 5304506545 (which superseded 316489404) — often with a shorter lead. However, some sources and parts diagrams list them differently or even reversed, and on some models the 316489403 serves the bake position. The safest approach: look up YOUR specific model number to confirm which igniter you need, and compare your old igniter's lead length to the replacement. If your old igniter's leads reach a connector far from the igniter (14–16"), the 316489403 with its 16" lead is likely correct. Contact our support team with your model number and we'll confirm.
Why do I smell gas when I try to use the broiler?
If you smell gas when the broiler's safety valve opens but the burner doesn't light, it usually means the igniter isn't getting hot enough (or drawing enough current) to ignite the gas that's being released — so raw gas escapes before shutting off. This points to a weak igniter. To confirm which part is at fault: with the gas off, do a voltage test at the oven safety valve on the broil side — you should read between 3.0 and 3.3 VAC. If the voltage is correct but the burner won't light, the igniter is the problem. If there's no proper voltage, or the burner tube has spider webs or debris blocking it, address those first. Also inspect the gas supply tube from the safety valve to the burner for damage or loose connections.
Why do I need to handle the igniter so carefully?
The igniter's heating element is made of silicon carbide, a material that's excellent at withstanding heat but is brittle and cracks easily from impact or flexing. Even touching the element with bare fingers can leave oils that create hot spots and shorten its life, and a small bump can crack it invisibly, causing premature failure. Always handle the new igniter by its metal bracket, never by the element or the ceramic block. When installing, be careful not to bump the element against the oven walls or burner. This care is the single biggest factor in whether your new igniter lasts years or fails early.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Frigidaire/Electrolux OEM part, but is manufactured from silicon carbide and ceramic to match the electrical specifications (3.2–3.6A, 120V AC), flat open-cage style, dimensions (3-1/2"L x 1-3/4"W x 13/16"H, 16" lead), and ignition function of the original 316489403 gas oven igniter used in compatible Frigidaire, Electrolux, Crosley, Gibson, Kelvinator, Tappan, White-Westinghouse, Ikea, and Kenmore gas ranges and ovens.

WP3392519 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer Thermal Fuse
The WP3392519 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM thermal fuse mounted on the blower housing next to the blower fan. This fuse is a one-time safety device: as long as the dryer stays within its normal operating temperature, it does nothing at all, but the instant internal temperatures climb high enough — almost always from restricted airflow — the fuse permanently opens the circuit and cuts power to the dryer. That's why a blown thermal fuse produces such a specific symptom: the dryer won't start at all, with no lights, no tumble, and no response, even though the outlet has power.
This fuse opens at approximately 196°F (91°C) and terminates in two 3/16" wire terminals for a direct plug-in fit. Unlike a resettable thermostat, this thermal fuse cannot be reset once it blows — it must be replaced. A blown thermal fuse is almost always a symptom rather than a random failure: restricted exhaust venting is the leading cause, since trapped heat is exactly what the fuse is designed to react to. A shorted heating element or a failed regulating thermostat can also cause the dryer to run hot enough to blow the fuse. It directly replaces 3392519, WP3392519VP, AP6008325, 3388651, 694511, ET401, PS11741460, EAP11741460, AH11741460, EA11741460, PD00002311, G4AP0500, and 80005.
Quick Answer
The WP3392519 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer Thermal Fuse fixes Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Roper, Jenn-Air, and Amana dryers that won't start at all — no lights, no tumble, no response to any button. Opens at approximately 196°F (91°C). Two 3/16" wire terminals. Replaces 3392519, WP3392519VP, AP6008325, 3388651, 694511, ET401, PS11741460, EAP11741460, AH11741460, EA11741460, PD00002311, G4AP0500, 80005. Always inspect and clean the dryer venting when replacing this fuse — a blown fuse is a symptom of restricted airflow, and installing a new fuse without fixing the vent will likely blow it again.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer won't start at all — no lights, no tumble, no response to any button

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: remove the screws securing the panel to reach the blower housing where the fuse is mounted. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting the wire terminals from the old fuse. Remove the mounting screw holding the fuse in place and pull it free, disconnecting both wire terminals. Before installing the new fuse, test it for continuity with a multimeter to confirm it's good out of the box, and test the old one to confirm it's actually blown (no continuity) rather than assuming. This is the most important step: 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. A blown thermal fuse is a symptom of restricted airflow, and skipping this step means the new fuse is likely to blow again. Install the new WP3392519 in the same mounting position, reconnect both wire terminals, and secure the mounting screw. Reinstall the rear panel, restore power, and run a test cycle to confirm normal heating and shutoff behavior. Tools needed: Phillips or nut driver (model-dependent), multimeter, vent brush or vacuum attachment for cleaning ductwork, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer has no power at all and the lights won't turn on. Is this the thermal fuse?
It's a strong possibility. When this thermal fuse blows, it cuts power broadly enough that the console lights and control panel can go completely dark, not just the heating function — that's a normal result of how this fuse is wired into the circuit. Before replacing it, confirm the outlet has power and the breaker hasn't tripped, then check the fuse for continuity with a multimeter. If it shows no continuity, this fuse is the correct fix, though it's also worth checking the exhaust ducting since that's the most common underlying cause.
I replaced the fuse and it blew again. What's going on?
This is a strong sign that the underlying cause — almost always restricted airflow — was never addressed. Thermal fuses don't fail from age; they blow because the dryer overheated. If a new fuse keeps blowing, 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. If airflow checks out and the fuse still blows, have the heating element and cycling thermostat checked as well, since a component stuck in the "on" position can also drive excess heat.
Can I just reset the thermal fuse instead of replacing it?
No. Unlike a cycling thermostat, this thermal fuse is a one-time safety device — once it blows, its internal circuit is permanently broken and it cannot be reset or repaired. Replacement is the only option.
My clothes came out extremely hot right before the dryer died. Is that related?
Yes, this is a classic warning sign. Clothes coming out unusually hot indicates the dryer was already running hotter than normal, which is exactly the condition that leads to a blown thermal fuse. If you noticed this before the dryer stopped working, it strongly points to a ventilation or airflow problem that should be fully addressed before running the dryer again.
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 opening temperature, terminal configuration, and mounting position of the thermal fuse originally installed in your dryer.

XPARTCO MEE61841401 Gas Oven Igniter
The XPARTCO MEE61841401 is an aftermarket replacement oven burner igniter compatible with select LG and Kenmore gas ranges in the LDG, LRG, LSG, LSS, LTG, and LSR series. The igniter is a flat glow bar hot surface igniter made from silicon carbide that draws electrical current through the oven safety valve to open it, then heats to ignition temperature to light the gas burner. When the igniter weakens or fails, the oven will not heat, will take too long to preheat, or the igniter will glow without ever lighting the burner.
This igniter draws 3.3–3.8 amps at 120V AC and reaches operating temperatures of 1,800°F–3,100°F within approximately 60 seconds. The igniter body measures 3-1/2 inches long x 1-3/4 inches wide x 7/8 inches high, with a lead/plug assembly extending approximately 10-3/4 inches from the igniter. It includes a 2-wire harness/plug, mounting bracket, and 2 porcelain wire connectors to accommodate direct plug-in or spliced installation. Directly replaces OEM part numbers MEE61841401, MEE61841403, and MEE63084901.
Quick Answer

Installation Notes
⚠️ Gas Appliance Safety Warning This part is used in gas ranges. Working with gas appliances carries risk of gas leaks, fire, and explosion if installed incorrectly. Always shut off the gas supply at the shutoff valve and unplug the range 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. If you are not confident working on gas appliances, have this part installed by a qualified appliance technician.
⚠️ Handle With Care — Fragile Igniter Element The silicon carbide igniter element is extremely fragile and sensitive to contamination. Do not touch the ceramic bar with bare hands under any circumstances — oils from skin will damage the element and significantly shorten its lifespan. Handle only by the bracket, wires, and plug. To install: unplug the range and shut off the gas. Remove the oven racks and oven bottom panel. Disconnect the old igniter's wire connector. Secure the new MEE61841401 igniter to the burner bracket with the mounting screws. If the plug is a direct match to your range's harness, plug it in. If not, cut the wires and use the included porcelain wire connectors to splice the new igniter to the existing wiring. Reinstall the oven bottom panel, restore gas supply and power, and run a test cycle. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between MEE61841401, MEE61841403, and MEE63084901?
These are all part numbers for the same LG flat glow bar oven igniter used across different model ranges and production runs. MEE63084901 is the earlier part number; MEE61841401 and MEE61841403 are updated versions. All three are interchangeable, and this aftermarket replacement is compatible with all of them.
How do I know if my oven igniter needs to be replaced?
The most common signs are the oven not heating at all, taking much longer than normal to preheat, or the igniter glowing orange but never lighting the gas burner. A healthy igniter glows bright orange and ignites the burner within about 60 seconds. If it glows dimly or stays on indefinitely without the burner lighting, the igniter has weakened and is no longer drawing enough current to open the gas safety valve. Error codes F9 or F11 on LG ranges can also indicate a failed igniter.
Do I need to splice the wires or does it plug straight in?
This igniter includes a 2-wire harness/plug for direct plug-in installation on most compatible LG models. If the connector does not match your range's existing harness, cut the old connector off and use the 2 porcelain wire connectors included in the kit to splice the new igniter to the existing wiring. Do not use standard plastic wire nuts — only porcelain connectors should be used near the oven burner due to the high heat involved.
What do error codes F9 and F11 mean on an LG range?
On compatible LG gas ranges, error code F9 typically indicates an oven heating failure, and F11 can indicate a shorted or failed igniter circuit. Both codes can be triggered by a weak or failed oven igniter. Replacing the MEE61841401 igniter resolves these error codes in many cases — though other causes such as a failed gas safety valve or control board issue should also be ruled out if the problem persists after replacement.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine LG OEM part, but is manufactured from silicon carbide, metal, ceramic, and porcelain to match the electrical specifications and physical dimensions of the original MEE61841401 igniter.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting Disconnect power (and shut off gas for gas dryers) before beginning. Remove the lint screen and unscrew the Phillips screws inside the lint screen housing. Use a putty knife to release the top panel clips and lift the top panel. Remove the front panel to access the drum. Release belt tension at the idler pulley, then lift the drum out. Remove the old belt, idler pulley, and drum rollers. Install the 2 new 349241T rollers onto the rear bulkhead shafts, pressing the new tri-rings and washers into place. Install the new 691366 idler pulley onto the idler arm. Loop the new 341241 belt around the drum with the ribbed side facing inward, then route it around the idler pulley and motor pulley. Reinstall the drum, reassemble the front and top panels, and restore power. Run a test cycle to confirm quiet operation. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, putty knife, needle-nose pliers, flat pry tool.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I replace all three parts at the same time?
The drum belt, idler pulley, and drum support rollers all work together as a system and wear at similar rates under the same conditions. Since the dryer must be fully disassembled to access any one of these parts, replacing all three in a single repair is far more cost-effective than replacing them one at a time — which would require three separate teardowns. This is the same reason the 4392065 maintenance kit was designed: one repair, all three parts, done.
What does each part in this kit do?
The 341241 drum belt wraps around the outside of the drum and connects to the idler pulley and motor pulley — the motor drives the belt, which spins the drum. The 691366 idler pulley maintains tension on the belt so it grips the drum and motor pulley properly. The 349241T drum rollers are support wheels mounted on the rear of the dryer that cradle and support the back edge of the drum as it rotates. All three are essential to smooth, quiet drum operation.
How is this kit different from the 4392067 repair kit?
The 4392065 and 4392067 kits are designed for different Whirlpool-family dryer generations. The 4392065 uses the 341241 belt (92-1/4" x 1/4", 4 ribs) and the 691366 idler pulley, and is for older 29-inch Whirlpool-family dryers. The 4392067 uses the 661570V belt (93-1/2" x 1/4", 4 ribs) and the W10837240 idler arm assembly, and is for newer Whirlpool-family dryers (those with the lint screen inside the door). Use your model number to confirm which kit fits your specific dryer before ordering.
Do I need to lubricate the drum rollers after installing?
No — the 349241T drum rollers include self-lubricating bearings and do not require any additional grease or oil after installation. Applying grease to self-lubricating rollers is not recommended and can actually attract lint and debris, causing the rollers to wear faster.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket kit?
This is an aftermarket replacement kit built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM kit, but all three included components are manufactured from premium neoprene rubber, durable plastic, and metal to match the dimensions and performance of the original 4392065 kit parts.

XPARTCO DC96-00887C - DC47-00018A Dryer Thermostat Set
The XPARTCO DC96-00887C / DC47-00018A is an aftermarket replacement 2-piece thermal protection set for Samsung and select Kenmore electric dryers. These two components sit in different locations along the same heating circuit and guard against overheating in different ways. The DC47-00018A is a true cycling high-limit thermostat — it opens at approximately 260°F to cut power to the heating element, then automatically closes again once the temperature drops to around 210°F, letting the dryer resume heating without any part replacement needed. The DC96-00887C, despite frequently being labeled a "thermostat" by third-party sellers, is actually a one-time thermal fuse mounted with its bracket on the blower housing — once it opens from excess heat, it stays open permanently and must be physically replaced.
Because these two parts monitor different points in the same circuit, they tend to be replaced together when a dryer has been running hot: if the high-limit thermostat has been cycling excessively or failed to catch a temperature spike, the downstream thermal fuse can end up blowing as the last line of defense. Symptoms of failure in this circuit include no heat or insufficient heat, drying that takes too long, the dryer shutting off too soon, or the timer failing to advance.

The XPARTCO DC96-00887C - DC47-00018A Dryer Thermostat Set fixes Samsung and select Kenmore electric dryers with no heat or insufficient heat, drying that takes too long, premature shutoff, or a timer that won't advance. Set includes the DC47-00018A cycling high-limit thermostat (260°F open / 210°F reset) and the DC96-00887C thermal fuse with bracket. Replaces the full cross-reference sets listed below for both parts. Despite common marketplace labeling, the DC96-00887C is a one-time thermal fuse, not a resettable thermostat — it must be replaced once it blows, while the DC47-00018A resets itself automatically.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Note Which Component Goes Where 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 blower housing and heater duct assembly where both components are mounted. Photograph the wiring connections before disconnecting anything, since the thermal fuse and thermostat can look similar at a glance and are easy to install in the wrong position. Test each old component with a multimeter for continuity if you want to confirm which has actually failed before replacing both — the DC47-00018A thermostat and DC96-00887C fuse can each be checked this way. Remove each old component from its mounting position, noting orientation and location, and disconnect its wiring. Install the DC47-00018A thermostat and the DC96-00887C fuse (with its bracket) 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), multimeter (recommended), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is DC96-00887C really a thermostat, or something else? Different sellers call it different things.
This is a genuinely common point of confusion in the marketplace, and it's worth clearing up: DC96-00887C is actually a one-time thermal fuse mounted with its bracket on the blower housing, even though many third-party listings label it a "thermostat." The distinction matters for how you diagnose and handle it — once this fuse blows from excess heat, it stays open permanently and must be physically replaced, unlike a true thermostat (like the DC47-00018A in this same set) which resets itself automatically once things cool down.
Why replace both parts together instead of just the one that failed?
These two components sit at different points in the same overheat-protection circuit, and a problem with one often puts stress on the other. If the high-limit thermostat has been cycling excessively or didn't catch a temperature spike in time, the downstream thermal fuse can end up blowing as the last line of defense. Replacing both together addresses the full circuit rather than risking a second failure and a second repair shortly after.
My dryer shuts off before the load is fully dry. Is that this set?
It's a strong possibility. If the high-limit thermostat is tripping prematurely — opening at a lower temperature than it should, or failing to reset properly — the dryer can cut heat and end the cycle early even though the load isn't actually dry yet. This is one of the more common symptoms this thermostat set addresses.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket set?
This is an aftermarket replacement set built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Samsung OEM set, but each component is manufactured to match the electrical specifications, opening/reset temperatures, and mounting configuration of the original DC96-00887C thermal fuse and DC47-00018A high-limit thermostat used in compatible Samsung and Kenmore electric dryers.

XPARTCO W11590294 Gas Oven Igniter
The XPARTCO W11590294 is an aftermarket replacement flat-style silicon carbide gas oven igniter compatible with select Whirlpool, Amana, Maytag, KitchenAid, Crosley, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore gas ranges in the WFG, AGR, VRGW, and related series. The oven igniter is a silicon carbide heating element mounted next to the oven burner tube. When a bake or broil cycle is started, the igniter draws electrical current through the gas safety valve, which holds the valve open — and simultaneously heats to ignition temperature to light the gas. The igniter must draw at least 3.2 amps to hold the gas valve fully open; as the silicon carbide element ages and weakens, it draws progressively less current, causing the oven to take too long to light, not light at all, or glow without ever opening the gas valve.
This flat-style igniter is rated 3.3–3.6 amps at 120V and measures approximately 4" wide x 1" high. It features a silicon carbide element, high-temperature ceramic housing, and metal bracket. The current part number W11590294 directly supersedes W11208965, W11613927, and W11506321 — all four are the same igniter across successive production revisions. It also replaces 4977065, AP7193166, PS16744629, and EAP16744629. Pre-attached wire connectors included. Note: do not touch the silicon carbide element with bare hands — skin oils cause premature burnout. Installs in 15–30 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO W11590294 Gas Oven Igniter fixes Whirlpool-family gas ovens that won't heat, where the igniter glows but the burner never lights, or where preheat takes too long. Flat silicon carbide igniter, 3.3–3.6A, 120V, approx. 4"W x 1"H. Do not touch element with bare hands. Replaces W11208965, W11613927, W11506321, 4977065, AP7193166, PS16744629. Compatible with Whirlpool WFG320/WFG505, Amana AGR4203/AGR6303, Crosley VRGW, Maytag, KitchenAid, and more.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Gas Appliance Safety Warning This part is installed in a gas range. Always unplug the range 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.
⚠️ Handle With Care — Do Not Touch the Igniter Element The silicon carbide igniter element is fragile and sensitive to skin oils. Handle only by the bracket and wiring — never touch the silicon carbide element itself. To install: unplug the range and shut off gas. Remove the oven racks and oven bottom panel to expose the burner assembly. Locate the old igniter mounted next to the oven burner tube. Disconnect the igniter's wire connectors and remove the two mounting screws securing the bracket. Note the wire routing inside the range cavity before removing — be careful not to let the burner wires fall back into the range body. Connect the new W11590294 igniter's pre-attached connectors to the matching wires from the range. Mount the new igniter in the same position with the two bracket screws. Reinstall the oven bottom panel and racks. Restore gas and power, then run a bake cycle and confirm the igniter glows and the burner lights within 60–90 seconds. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the relationship between W11590294, W11208965, W11613927, and W11506321?
These are all part numbers for the same gas oven igniter across successive production revisions by Whirlpool. W11506321 was an earlier version, W11613927 and W11208965 were subsequent updates, and W11590294 is the current production number. All four are the same flat silicon carbide igniter with the same specifications, dimensions, and function. If your range's parts diagram or old igniter shows any of these numbers, this replacement covers all of them.
My oven igniter glows but the burner never lights — is this the right part?
Yes — an igniter that glows but fails to light the burner is the most common symptom of a weakened igniter. The gas safety valve requires at least 3.2 amps of current draw through the igniter to hold it open. As the silicon carbide element ages, it draws less current — eventually reaching a point where it glows visibly but no longer draws enough current to fully open the gas valve. If the igniter glows for more than 90 seconds without the burner lighting, it needs replacement. The W11590294 is rated 3.3–3.6 amps, which is the correct range to reliably activate the safety valve on compatible models.
What is the difference between W11590294 and W11176454?
Both are flat silicon carbide oven igniters for Whirlpool-family gas ranges, but for different model series. The W11590294 is used on the WFG320, WFG505, and related entry-level Whirlpool and Amana gas ranges. The W11176454 (which replaces W10914411) is used on higher-end Whirlpool, Amana, and Maytag models across a broader range of WFG, MGR, and related series. They have the same amperage rating and igniter style but are not always interchangeable — always verify your model number before ordering to confirm which igniter is correct for your range.
How do I test if the oven igniter has failed?
The most practical test is observation: if the igniter glows for more than 90 seconds without the burner lighting, the igniter is too weak. For a more precise test, use a multimeter in resistance mode — disconnect the igniter and measure resistance across the element. A working W11590294-style igniter typically reads between 40–100 ohms at room temperature. An open circuit (infinite resistance) means the element has burned through completely. You can also test in operation by measuring current draw at the igniter circuit — a reading below 3.2 amps indicates the igniter is too weak to reliably open the gas 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 from silicon carbide, ceramic, metal, and plastic to match the amperage draw, dimensions, and performance of the original W11590294 gas oven igniter.
