WH13X25296 Washer Water Valve
Replaces Part Numbers: WH13X26534, WH13X25296, WH13X25297, AP6891106, PS12726768.
Description: The Water Inlet Valve Assembly is a replacement part for specific GE washing machine models. It is responsible for regulating the flow of water into the washing machine during designated cycles. The water inlet valve opens and closes to allow water to enter the tub at the correct times and pressures. It works in coordination with other components to fill and drain the tub as needed.
This is an aftermarket part that can be used as a replacement for the OEM part.
XPARTCO 5221ER1003S Washer Water Valve
The XPARTCO 5221ER1003S is an aftermarket replacement cold water inlet valve for LG and select Kenmore front-load washers. This valve sits underneath the top panel, at the point where the cold water supply hose connects, and it's the gatekeeper for cold water entering the tub. When the control calls for a cold fill, it energizes the valve's solenoid to open, admitting water; once the correct level is reached, it closes again. This part controls the cold water side specifically — hot fills on these washers are governed by a separate valve.
Rated 12V and terminated with small male spade connectors, this valve measures approximately 4.75"H x 3.25"W x 2.25"L, with a gray plastic and metal housing. Over time, rust and mineral buildup inside the valve body — a documented failure point on this platform — can prevent it from sealing fully, which lets water continue flowing even after the valve is told to close. A washer that keeps filling even while draining, or that leaks steadily at the cold connection, is a strong sign of exactly this kind of stuck-open valve failure. Other failure modes include a burned-out solenoid coil and general wear from age. It directly replaces 4869496, AP6798394, PS12587936, and EAP12587936, and is also cross-referenced to the related 5221ER1003A part number.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 5221ER1003S Washer Water Valve fixes LG and select Kenmore front-load washers where cold water won't fill, fills slowly, keeps filling continuously (even while draining), or leaks at the water connection. 12V cold water inlet valve, small male spade terminals, 4.75"H x 3.25"W x 2.25"L. Replaces 4869496, AP6798394, PS12587936, EAP12587936. Rust and mineral buildup inside the valve body is a documented cause of it sticking open — check for rust at the connection before you order.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Washer won't fill with cold water at the start of the cycle
Cold water fills much more slowly than it used to
Washer keeps filling continuously, even while water is simultaneously draining out
Water leaking steadily at the cold water connection point
Visible rust or mineral buildup around the valve body or connection
Cycle stalling at the fill step and never advancing to wash
Water pooling underneath or behind the washer near the cold supply line
Cold wash or cold rinse cycles specifically affected while other cycles run fine
Cross Reference Information
Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models. For your convenience, we've included any known superseded, alternate, or cross-reference part numbers that match this item.
Replaces Part Numbers
This washer cold water inlet valve directly replaces the following OEM and cross-reference part numbers:

If your part number is not listed above, contact our support team before ordering and we will verify compatibility.
Compatibility
This cold water inlet valve is compatible with select LG front-load washers, and also fits select Kenmore front-load washers built on the LG platform, including model numbers such as:
LG WM4000HBA, WM4000HWA, WM3400CW, WM3470CW
LG W3600HVA
Kenmore WKE100HVA (select LG-built models)
Note — cold side only: This is the cold water valve. Some LG front-load washers use a separate hot water valve for the hot supply connection — if hot water fills normally but cold does not, this valve is the correct part; if the issue affects both hot and cold fills, the problem may lie elsewhere in the fill circuit. This valve is specific to LG's front-load platform and is not intended for top-load washers. Always verify your full model number before ordering. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Shut Off Water Supply And Unplug Washer Before Starting — Have A Towel Ready Unplug the washer and shut off the cold water supply valve before beginning. Wear work gloves. Pull the washer away from the wall for access. Unthread the cold water supply line from the back of the valve first — have a towel ready, since residual water will spill out. Unthread the two screws securing the top panel, then slide the panel back and lift it off to access the valve assembly underneath. Photograph the wiring connections before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the spade terminal wire connectors from the old valve, remove its mounting screw or bracket, and pull the valve free. While it's out, inspect the area for rust or mineral scale, and clean the connection point if needed before installing the new valve. Install the new 5221ER1003S in the same position, reconnect the spade terminals, and secure the mounting hardware. Rethread the cold water supply line onto the new valve, tightening securely. Reinstall the top panel and its two screws. Restore the water supply and power, then run a short cycle and confirm the tub fills at the normal rate with no leaking underneath or behind the washer. Tools needed: channellock pliers, flathead screwdriver, pliers, drill/driver with a Phillips bit, towel, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer keeps filling even while it's draining. Is that this valve?
Yes, this is a well-documented failure mode on this platform. Rust and mineral buildup inside the valve body can prevent it from sealing fully closed, so water keeps trickling or flowing into the tub even after the fill portion of the cycle has ended — sometimes enough to keep pace with draining, making it look like the washer is filling and draining simultaneously. If you open up the top panel and see rust around the valve, that strongly confirms this diagnosis.
Cold water won't fill but hot water works fine. Is this the right part?
Yes — this valve controls cold water specifically, and some LG front-load washers use a separate valve for the hot supply. If cold-specific cycles are failing while hot water fills normally, this cold valve is the correct part to replace.
I see rust on my old valve but it isn't leaking yet. Should I still replace it?
It's worth strongly considering. Rust and mineral buildup on this valve is a known precursor to it sticking partially open, which can lead to continuous filling, water waste, and potential water damage if it isn't caught. If you're already inspecting the area and see corrosion forming, replacing the valve proactively is often cheaper and easier than dealing with an active leak later.
What's the difference between 5221ER1003S and 5221ER1003A?
These are cross-referenced as the same valve — 5221ER1003A appears on some parts diagrams and listings as an alternate or prior designation for the identical part. If your washer's diagram shows either number, this listing is the correct 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 to match the 12V solenoid design, spade terminal connections, and dimensions of the original 5221ER1003S cold water valve used in compatible LG and Kenmore front-load washers.

XPARTCO EXP571 Dryer Door Catch
The XPARTCO EXP571 is an aftermarket replacement door catch for electric and gas dryers from Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Frigidaire, Electrolux, GE, Amana, Crosley, White-Westinghouse, and LG. The door catch is the small plastic part the dryer door latches onto to stay securely shut during a cycle. Keeping the door tightly closed holds heat and airflow inside the drum, so clothes dry efficiently. Over time, regular wear, physical damage, or a door that has drifted out of alignment can cause the catch to crack, wear down, or lose its grip, and the door stops latching reliably.
Made from durable plastic, this is a direct-fit replacement with a simple snap-in installation — no tools required. Because the same catch design was used across several appliance families, it carries a long cross-reference list spanning Whirlpool, Frigidaire, and GE part numbers; see the Replaces list below. Each order includes 1 door catch.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO EXP571 Dryer Door Catch fixes a dryer door that won't stay closed, won't latch properly, or pops open during a cycle because the catch is cracked, worn, or damaged. Durable plastic, snap-in install with no tools, 1 catch per order. Fits Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Frigidaire, Electrolux, GE, Amana, Crosley, White-Westinghouse, and LG dryers. Classic symptom: you have to push or hold the door shut, or it swings open mid-cycle and heat escapes.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer door won't stay closed or pops open during a cycle
Door doesn't latch with a firm, positive click
Visibly cracked, broken, or worn catch
Heat escaping around the door, leaving clothes damp after a full cycle
Door feels loose or misaligned when closed
Cross Reference Information

This one catch design was sold under the part numbers of several manufacturers: Whirlpool/Maytag (WP71002106, WP3389441), Frigidaire/Electrolux (131658800, 5307521419), and GE (WE1X1195, WE1X1153, WE01X10023, and related). The AP/PS-prefixed numbers are third-party catalog cross-references for the same physical part.
Compatibility

GE dryers
Select LG dryers
Note: Because this catch was used across so many brands and model years, a full model-number list can't be shown here. The safest way to confirm fit is to match the number on your old catch, or on your dryer's parts diagram, against the Replaces list above rather than relying on brand alone.

Installation Notes
ℹ️ No Tools Required Unplug the dryer before starting as a general safety precaution. Open the dryer door and locate the worn or broken catch the door latches onto. Pull or pry the old catch free from its mounting position, then press the new catch into the same opening until it snaps firmly into place. Close the door and confirm it latches with a positive click and stays shut. If the door still won't seat or latch evenly after the swap, check the door's alignment and hinges, since a misaligned door can wear out a new catch quickly.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer door won't stay shut — is this the part I need?
Very likely. A cracked, worn, or damaged door catch is a common reason a dryer door won't latch or pops open mid-cycle. Inspect the old catch for cracks or wear; if it looks damaged, replacing it should restore a firm latch.
Will this fit my dryer? I have a Whirlpool, Frigidaire, or GE.
This catch is cross-referenced to part numbers from all three families, plus several others. Match the number on your old catch or your dryer's parts diagram against the Replaces list above. If you're unsure, contact our support team with your model number and we'll confirm fit before you order.
Do I need tools to install it?
No. It's a simple snap-in design — remove the old catch and press the new one into place until it clicks.
How many catches come in this order?
Each order includes 1 door catch.
The door still doesn't close right after replacing the catch. What else could be wrong?
A door that has drifted out of alignment can keep a new catch from seating properly and wear it out fast. Check the door hinges and alignment against the cabinet opening.

XPARTCO DC97-15459H Washer Water Valve
The XPARTCO DC97-15459H is an aftermarket replacement water inlet valve assembly for Samsung top-load washers. This valve controls the flow of water into the washer from the household supply line, opening its internal solenoids to admit water as the cycle calls for it and closing once the correct fill level is reached, ensuring each cycle gets accurate, consistent water flow.
Rated AC 110/120V, 60Hz, measuring approximately 8.7"L x 3.4"W x 2.5"H. Common failure causes include mineral or sediment buildup inside the valve body and general electrical wear in the solenoid coils. A failing valve produces a clear set of symptoms: the washer not filling with water, water leaking near the valve connections, or inconsistent water levels during the wash cycle. It directly replaces AP5621731, PS4220862, and EAP4220862.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO DC97-15459H Washer Water Valve fixes Samsung top-load washers that aren't filling with water, are leaking near the valve, or have inconsistent water levels during the wash cycle.

Water leaking near the valve connections
Inconsistent water levels during the wash cycle
Cycle stalling at the fill step and never advancing to wash
Wash interrupted partway through due to a fill-related fault

Installation Notes
⚠️ Shut Off Water Supply And Unplug Washer Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker, and shut off the water supply before beginning. Wear work gloves. Remove the back panel of the washer to access the valve. Photograph the wiring and hose connections before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the old valve by unscrewing it from its mount, then disconnect the electrical connector and water lines. Position the new DC97-15459H valve in place and secure it with screws. Reconnect the water lines and the electrical connector fully. Restore the water supply and power, then test the machine to confirm the washer fills correctly with no leaking at the connections. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, pliers, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer isn't filling with water. Is this the right part?
Yes, this is the most direct symptom of a failed water inlet valve. Since this valve is what admits water from your household supply into the washer, a solenoid failure or internal blockage can prevent any water from entering at all, stopping the wash cycle from proceeding.
Is this the same as DC97-15459G?
No, these are two separate Samsung valve part numbers with different cross-reference sets, despite the similar numbering. Always confirm the exact part number from your washer's parts diagram or the sticker on your old valve rather than assuming based on a close number match.
Should I do a visual inspection before replacing the valve?
Yes, it's a good first step. A simple visual inspection can help you determine if the valve is clogged with sediment or physically damaged before you commit to a full replacement, and regular maintenance can help prolong the life of your washer's water system overall.
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 solenoid design, flow rate, and connection type of the original DC97-15459H valve used in compatible Samsung top-load washers.

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.
