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 DG34-00027B Range Membrane Switch (Touchpad)
The XPARTCO DG34-00027B is an aftermarket replacement membrane switch touchpad for Samsung gas ranges. This is the keypad panel itself — the physical layer of touch-sensitive buttons you press to select temperature, set the time, and choose a cooking mode. Underneath a thin, durable overlay, this membrane switch reads each button press as a distinct signal and passes it along to the range's main control board, which then acts on the command. Unlike the main control board, this component doesn't process or execute anything on its own — it's purely the interface between your finger and the board.
Because of that division of labor, a failing membrane switch produces a very specific pattern that's easy to distinguish from a control board failure: certain buttons stop responding, specific functions become impossible to select, or particular settings can no longer be adjusted, while the rest of the panel — including the clock, display, and other buttons — continues working normally. If instead the entire display goes blank or the whole panel stops responding at once, that points to the main control board rather than this touchpad. It directly replaces DG34-00027A, AP5986689, and PS11735749.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO DG34-00027B Range Membrane Switch (Touchpad) fixes Samsung gas ranges where certain buttons don't respond, specific functions can't be selected, or particular settings won't adjust — while the rest of the control panel, including the clock and display, still works normally. Replaces DG34-00027A, AP5986689, PS11735749. If the entire display is blank or completely unresponsive, or the clock works but no heating functions operate at all, the problem is more likely the main control board (such as our DE92-02588G listing) rather than this touchpad.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Certain buttons on the control panel don't respond when pressed
Specific cooking functions or modes can't be selected
Particular temperature or time settings can't be adjusted
Some buttons work fine while others are unresponsive or intermittent
Touchpad feels unresponsive or requires repeated presses to register
Visible wear, cracking, or bubbling on the touchpad overlay surface
Buttons that used to work reliably have become inconsistent over time

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Range Or Shut Off Breaker Before Starting — Small Parts, Keep Away From Children Unplug the range or shut off the house circuit breaker before beginning to avoid electrical hazards. Wear work gloves. This part includes small components — keep them away from young children during installation. Access is typically through the front of the control panel: remove the screws or clips securing the panel trim, then carefully separate the old touchpad overlay from its mounting surface, since some models use an adhesive backing that may require gentle, even pressure to release cleanly without damaging the surrounding panel. Photograph the ribbon cable or connector routing before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the touchpad's ribbon cable or connector from the control board, and remove the old membrane switch fully. Position the new DG34-00027B so its buttons align correctly with the control panel cutout, press it into place evenly to seat any adhesive backing, and reconnect the ribbon cable or connector to the control board. Reinstall the panel trim and its screws or clips. Restore power and test every button on the touchpad to confirm each one now responds correctly. Tools needed: Phillips or flat-blade screwdriver (model-dependent), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Some buttons work but others don't. Is this the right part?
Yes, this is the classic symptom this touchpad addresses. Because the membrane switch is purely the physical button interface, individual sections of it can wear out or fail independently, leaving some buttons responsive while others stop working. If your clock, display, and some functions still work normally but specific buttons or settings don't respond, this touchpad — not the main control board — is the most likely cause.
My whole display is blank and nothing on the panel responds. Do I need this part?
Probably not. A completely blank or entirely unresponsive display points to the main control board rather than this touchpad, since the touchpad itself has no display and can't cause a total blackout on its own. Similarly, if your clock and timer work but no oven heating functions operate at all, that's also a control board symptom. This touchpad is the correct part specifically when some buttons or functions fail while the rest of the panel, including the display, continues working.
How do I know which specific membrane switch touchpad my range needs?
Samsung uses several different touchpads that look similar but serve different model groups — always check your full model number before ordering. This DG34-00027B fits NX58H5600SS, NX58J5600SG, NX58F5700WS, and NX58M5600SB specifically; other Samsung ranges use different part numbers such as DG34-00025A, DG34-00020A, or DG96-00850H. Contact our support team with your model number if you want to confirm before ordering.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Samsung OEM part, but is manufactured to match the button layout, overlay material, and mounting configuration of the original DG34-00027B touchpad used in compatible Samsung gas ranges.

XPARTCO D111-25GR Refrigerator Universal Directional Spun Copper Drier
The XPARTCO D111-25GR is a universal spun copper filter drier for domestic and commercial refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioners. Installed in the sealed refrigerant line, this drier filters the refrigerant as it circulates through the system, removing moisture and contaminants that would otherwise damage internal components or restrict refrigerant flow over time.
This directional drier is suitable for both refrigeration and air conditioning systems, compatible with R12, R22, R502, and R134A refrigerants. It features a 1" diameter body, approximately 8-1/8" in length, with a 1/4" O.D. copper tubing inlet paired with a 1/4" Schrader valve, and a 1/4" O.D. outlet. Equipped with a molecular sieve filter element and a 25g silica gel particle fill, this drier's higher desiccant content is more suitable for large refrigerators, freezers, and commercial refrigeration equipment. Filter driers are typically replaced whenever the sealed system is opened for service — such as after a compressor replacement or a refrigerant leak repair — since a used drier that has already absorbed moisture won't provide adequate protection for a newly serviced system. This is a universal cross-brand part, fitting any refrigeration system conforming to this filter drier's type and size specifications, and directly replaces ERD111, SUD111, PD111, TJ90SUD111, and WR86X25269.

Installation Requirements
⚠️ Professional Installation Required Installing a filter drier requires opening the sealed refrigerant system: recovering the existing refrigerant, brazing the new drier into the liquid line, evacuating the system to remove air and moisture, and recharging it with the correct refrigerant type and amount. This work involves pressurized refrigerant, an open flame or torch for brazing, and — in the United States — legally requires EPA Section 608 certification to purchase, handle, or recover most refrigerants. This is not a DIY repair. Have this part installed by a qualified, licensed refrigeration or appliance technician.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does a refrigerator need a filter drier?
A filter drier removes moisture and contaminants from the refrigerant as it circulates through the sealed system. Moisture inside a refrigeration system can cause internal corrosion, ice formation at restriction points, and acid formation that damages the compressor over time, so keeping the refrigerant clean and dry is essential to the system's long-term reliability.
When does this part typically get replaced?
A filter drier is normally replaced any time a technician opens the sealed system for service, such as during a compressor replacement or after repairing a refrigerant leak. Reusing an old drier after the system has been opened is not recommended, since a saturated drier no longer effectively removes moisture from the newly serviced system.
Can I install this myself?
No, this is not a DIY-appropriate repair. Installing a filter drier requires recovering refrigerant, brazing the new drier into the line, evacuating the system, and recharging it with refrigerant — all of which require specialized tools and training. In the United States, purchasing, handling, and recovering most refrigerants legally requires EPA Section 608 certification. This part should be installed by a qualified, licensed refrigeration or appliance technician.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a universal XPARTCO replacement part, manufactured to match the size, connection type, and desiccant specification of the original D111-family filter drier used across a wide range of refrigeration and air conditioning systems.

WR60X25858 Freezer Genuine OEM Evaporator Fan Motor
The WR60X25858 is a genuine GE OEM freezer evaporator fan motor for GE refrigerators, and also fits select Hotpoint, Haier, Monogram, Café, Profile, and Kenmore models. Located in the freezer compartment, this motor circulates air across the evaporator coil and out into the freezer and, on many models, the fresh food compartment, drawing heat out of the air to maintain consistent, efficient cooling throughout the appliance.
Rated 13.6V DC, 0.23 amps, with fan dimensions of approximately 4.5" x 4.5" and a wiring harness and plug extending about 8.25" from the frame. Common causes of failure include worn motor bearings or electrical failure over time. Symptoms of a failing evaporator fan motor include the freezer failing to cool properly and warming up, insufficient airflow, excessive frost buildup, higher-than-normal freezer temperatures, or unusual noise — often caused by frost or ice rubbing against the fan blade as it turns. It directly replaces 239D1371P002, 3033253, 4931166, U11P14MS7AA3-57A61, WR60X10340, AGE29632, AP6891698, EAP12727431, EAP7320382, PD00054264, PS12727431.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting — Clear Any Frost Or Ice From The Fan Area Unplug the refrigerator and safely store any food that could spoil while the power is off. Wear work gloves. Locate the evaporator fan motor in the freezer compartment, typically behind an interior panel covering the evaporator coil assembly. If there's noticeable frost or ice buildup around the fan or coil, allow it to fully defrost before continuing — restricted airflow from ice is a common contributor to fan motor strain and noise. Remove the panel to access the fan motor, then disconnect the wiring harness from the old motor. Remove the mounting screws or clips securing the old motor and pull it free, along with the fan blade if it doesn't transfer separately. Install the new WR60X25858 in the same position, reconnect the wiring harness fully, and secure the mounting hardware. Reinstall the interior panel. While you're in this area, vacuuming out any accessible condenser coils is a good complementary maintenance step. Restore power and monitor the freezer's temperature over the next 24 hours to confirm normal, quiet operation and consistent cooling. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My freezer isn't cold anymore. Is this the part I need?
Yes, this is one of the most common causes of a freezer that won't cool. One customer specifically reached out after their freezer wasn't cold, watched a diagnostic video explaining the evaporator fan's role, and confirmed this motor was the cause before ordering the replacement.
I hear a strange noise from inside my freezer. Could this be the fan motor?
Yes, this is a well-documented symptom. Noise often occurs when the fan motor itself is wearing out, or when frost or ice has built up enough to rub against the spinning fan blade. Clearing any ice buildup before replacing the motor helps you confirm whether the noise was from ice contact or the motor itself.
Should I do anything else while I have the freezer open for this repair?
It's a good opportunity to check for and clear any frost or ice buildup around the fan and coil area, since restricted airflow can contribute to fan strain. One customer also vacuumed out the condenser coils during the same repair, which is a reasonable companion maintenance step while everything is accessible.
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 motor design, voltage, and connection type of the evaporator fan motor originally installed in your refrigerator.

Genuine OEM WPW10453947 Washer or Dryer Control Knob
The Genuine OEM WPW10453947 is a factory-original control knob used on both washers and dryers across the Whirlpool platform — the same knob design is shared between select top-load washer cycle-selector dials and dryer cycle/timer dials, depending on the model. It mounts onto the control shaft on the console and is what the user grips to select a wash or dry cycle. Over time these knobs commonly crack, the D-shaped shaft-grip inside wears out and starts spinning freely on the shaft, or the knob's pointer/indicator fades or breaks off.
As the genuine Whirlpool part, it matches the factory shaft profile, detent feel, and indicator marking of the original equipment, so there's no fit or cosmetic mismatch. It directly replaces W10453947, 2304653, AP5607287, AWP50246, EAP3632979, PD00008425, PS3632979. Installs in under 5 minutes with no tools required — it's a simple push-on friction fit in most applications.
Quick Answer
The Genuine OEM WPW10453947 Washer or Dryer Control Knob fixes Whirlpool, Amana, Admiral, Inglis, Roper, Kenmore, Crosley, and Maytag washers and dryers with a cracked, spinning, or missing cycle-selector knob. This is the factory-original Whirlpool knob — not an aftermarket equivalent — and is used on both washer and dryer control panels depending on model. Replaces W10453947, 2304653, AP5607287, AWP50246, EAP3632979, PD00008425, PS3632979. Classic symptom: knob spins freely on the shaft without turning the dial, or won't stay in the selected cycle position.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Control knob spins freely on the shaft without engaging the dial underneath
Knob is cracked, chipped, or has broken retaining tabs on the back
Knob won't stay pointed at the selected cycle
Indicator marking or pointer on the knob is faded, worn, or broken off
Knob is missing entirely, making it difficult to select a cycle

Installation Notes
ℹ️ No Tools Required — Unplug Appliance First Disconnect power to the washer or dryer before beginning. Note the current cycle position of the old knob before removing it, so you can align the new one the same way. Grip the old knob firmly and pull straight outward, away from the console, to release it from the friction fit on the shaft. If it's cracked and difficult to grip, work a flat-blade screwdriver gently behind the knob's edge to help pry it free, taking care not to damage the console. Line up the new WPW10453947 knob's D-shaped (or splined) center opening with the flat side of the control shaft, and press straight in until it seats fully against the console. Restore power and test that the knob turns smoothly through each cycle position and the indicator lines up correctly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this knob for a washer or a dryer?
Both — this is a shared control knob design used on select Whirlpool-platform washers and dryers, depending on the model. The knob itself is identical; what it controls (wash cycle vs. dry cycle) depends on which appliance and console it's installed in. Confirm your appliance's model number before ordering to make sure this is the correct knob for your specific control panel.
My knob spins freely and doesn't change the cycle — is this the fix?
Yes, in most cases. This happens when the knob's internal shaft-grip (the D-shaped or splined opening that mates with the control shaft) wears out or cracks, so the knob spins independently of the shaft underneath it. Replacing the knob restores a snug grip on the shaft so turning it actually moves the selector.
Do I need any tools to install this?
No — it's a simple push-on friction fit. Pull the old knob straight off the shaft (a flat-blade screwdriver can help pry a stuck or cracked one loose) and press the new one on, matching the shaft's flat side to the knob's opening. No screws or fasteners are involved.
Is this a genuine Whirlpool part or an aftermarket equivalent?
This is the genuine, factory-original Whirlpool knob — not an aftermarket equivalent. It matches the original shaft profile, detent feel, and cycle-indicator markings, so there's no mismatch in fit or appearance versus the original equipment.

279769 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer Thermostat Kit
The 279769 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM thermal cut-off and high-limit thermostat kit for Whirlpool, Kenmore, Roper, KitchenAid, Maytag, Amana, Estate, Crosley, and Admiral electric dryers. This kit bundles two components that guard against overheating at different thresholds: the 3390291 high-limit thermostat (rated L250-80F) monitors internal temperature and interrupts power at approximately 250°F to prevent overheating, then resets itself automatically once the dryer cools — no replacement needed after each trip. The 3977394 thermal cut-off fuse is the backup: rated at 352°F, it's a one-time safety device that permanently opens the circuit if temperatures climb high enough that the thermostat alone didn't prevent an overheat.
These two parts are sold together and should be replaced together as a set, since they protect the same circuit and tend to be stressed by the same underlying problem. Whirlpool's own guidance is direct: when the thermal cut-off fails, it usually indicates a venting problem, and failing to correct that airflow issue will cause repetitive failures even with new parts installed. Symptoms include the dryer not heating, clothes coming out extremely hot, or the dryer not running at all. This kit is commonly used alongside heating element 4391960. It directly replaces 279548, 2796769, 279769VP, 2821, 2004, 3387812, 3389946, 3398671, 3977394, 695563, 80001, SET184, SET198, TJSET198, ET184, AP3094224, AH334278, EA334278, EAP334278, PD00002485, PS334278, WP3390291, AP6008306, 3390291, 696397, and PS11741441.
Quick Answer
The 279769 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer Thermostat Kit fixes Whirlpool, Kenmore, Roper, KitchenAid, Maytag, Amana, Estate, Crosley, and Admiral electric dryers with no heat, no power at all, or clothes coming out dangerously hot. Includes the 3390291 high-limit thermostat (250°F, auto-resetting) and the 3977394 thermal cut-off fuse (352°F, one-time). Replaces 279548, 2796769, 279769VP, 3387812, 3389946, 3398671, 3977394, 695563, 80001, AP3094224, PS334278, WP3390291, AP6008306, 3390291, 696397, PS11741441. Always inspect and clean the exhaust venting when replacing this kit — 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. When the thermal cut-off fails, it usually indicates a venting problem, and failing to correct that airflow issue will cause repetitive failures even with these new parts installed. Install the new 3390291 thermostat and 3977394 thermal fuse from this kit 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
My clothes are coming out extremely hot, hot enough to burn my hands. Is this the right kit?
Yes, this is a documented symptom this kit addresses. If the high-limit thermostat fails to regulate temperature correctly, the dryer can run far hotter than it should, producing dangerously hot clothing at the end of a cycle. Whirlpool's own parts support has specifically pointed customers with this exact complaint toward this kit. Stop using the dryer if you notice this symptom and replace both components promptly.
Why do I need to replace both the thermostat and the fuse together?
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 kit 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 kit 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 4391960 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 a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It includes the same temperature thresholds and mounting configuration as the high-limit thermostat and thermal cut-off fuse originally installed in your dryer.
