XPARTCO DC47-00018A Dryer Hi Limit Thermostat
The XPARTCO DC47-00018A is an aftermarket replacement cycling high-limit thermostat for Samsung and select Kenmore electric dryers. This is a genuine, automatically resetting thermostat — not a one-time fuse. It monitors temperature in the heating circuit and opens to cut power to the heating element at approximately 260°F, protecting the dryer from overheating. Once the temperature drops to around 210°F, it closes again on its own, letting the dryer resume heating without any part replacement needed.
This thermostat works alongside a downstream thermal fuse (such as our DC96-00887C listing) in the same overheat-protection circuit. If this thermostat is cycling excessively, tripping prematurely, or failing to regulate temperature correctly, it can put stress on that thermal fuse, sometimes causing it to blow as a last-resort safety measure. Symptoms of a failing high-limit thermostat include no heat or insufficient heat, drying that takes too long, or the dryer shutting off too soon before a load is fully dry. It directly replaces 35001092, WP35001092, 1122485, AP4201898, PS4205217, EAP2430930, PS2430930, and AP6008682.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO DC47-00018A Dryer Hi Limit Thermostat fixes Samsung and select Kenmore electric dryers with no heat or insufficient heat, drying that takes too long, or premature shutoff before a load is fully dry. Opens at approximately 260°F, resets automatically around 210°F. Replaces 35001092, WP35001092, 1122485, AP4201898, PS4205217, EAP2430930, PS2430930, AP6008682. This is a resettable thermostat, not a fuse — it does not need replacement after each trip. It's a different component from our DC96-00887C thermal fuse listing, though the two are often checked together.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer has no heat or insufficient heat
Drying takes too long to complete a cycle
Dryer shuts off too soon, before clothes are fully dry
Timer will not advance through the cycle
Dryer that stopped working suddenly after running unusually hot
Dryer with a history of repeated downstream thermal fuse failures

Note — resettable thermostat, not a fuse: This DC47-00018A is a true cycling thermostat that resets itself automatically. Our DC96-00887C listing, despite frequently being labeled a "thermostat" on other marketplaces, is actually a one-time thermal fuse mounted separately on the blower housing — it cannot reset and must be replaced once blown. The two are different device types serving the same circuit. Always verify your full model number before ordering. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting 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 heater duct and blower housing area where this thermostat is mounted. Photograph the wiring connections before disconnecting anything, since this thermostat can be positioned close to other similar-looking components in the same circuit. Remove the old thermostat from its mounting position, noting orientation, and disconnect its wiring. Install the new DC47-00018A in the same position, 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
Do I need to reset this thermostat after it trips, or replace it?
Neither, in normal operation — this is a genuine cycling thermostat that resets itself automatically once the dryer cools to around 210°F. You should only need to replace it if it has failed outright (stuck open, stuck closed, or no longer switching at the correct temperatures), not simply because it tripped once during normal operation.
My dryer shuts off before the load is fully dry. Is that this part?
It's a strong possibility. If this high-limit thermostat is tripping prematurely — opening at a lower temperature than it should — 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 addresses.
My thermal fuse keeps blowing. Could this thermostat be the underlying cause?
Yes, this is worth investigating. This thermostat and the downstream thermal fuse (our DC96-00887C listing) protect the same circuit at different points. If this thermostat isn't regulating temperature correctly — cycling excessively or failing to catch a temperature spike — the thermal fuse can end up blowing repeatedly as the last line of defense. If you've replaced the fuse more than once, checking or replacing this thermostat at the same time is a reasonable next step.
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 electrical specifications and opening/reset temperatures of the original DC47-00018A high-limit thermostat used in compatible Samsung and Kenmore electric dryers.

5303281153 Dryer Genuine OEM Rear Drum Bearing
The 5303281153 is a genuine Frigidaire OEM rear drum bearing kit for Frigidaire dryers, and also fits select Crosley, Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, Kenmore, Tappan, and Westinghouse models. This ball-and-socket style bearing supports the rear of the dryer drum, reducing friction and allowing the drum to rotate smoothly and quietly throughout the drying cycle.
The bearing itself measures approximately 1-15/16"L x 1"W x 1-3/8"H, with mounting holes 1-1/2" apart, center to center. The holes in the metal mounting plate are not pre-threaded — the self-tapping screws included in the kit are what create the threads during installation. Common causes of failure include normal wear and tear, exposure to excessive heat or lint buildup, or physical damage from impact or overloading. Symptoms of a worn or failing rear drum bearing include excessive noise or grinding sounds, difficulty rotating the drum or a drum that won't turn at all, visible wear or damage on the bearing, or increased vibration and shaking during the drying cycle. It directly replaces AP2142648, 1851, 3281153, 5304459240, 85-852, AH459829, DE724, EA459829, PS459829, Q000142850, Q142850, WQ142850, 08015113, 08015324, 131378400, 131777700, 137088600, 137088620, 137088630, 175428, 175432, 175433, 31581400, 3281019, 3281020, 5303281019, and 5303281020.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Mounting Plate Holes Are Not Pre-Threaded Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning. Wear work gloves. Remove the back panel and the drum belt to access the drum, then remove the drum itself to reach the rear bearing assembly. While the dryer is open, take the time to clean out any accumulated lint from inside the cabinet and around the motor, since buildup here is common and worth clearing while you have access. Remove the old bearing bracket, ball shaft, and related hardware. Apply the included high-temperature lubricant to the new Teflon shaft bearing and ball bearing as directed. Assemble the new ball shaft, bearing, and bracket, then mount the bracket to the rear bulkhead. The holes in the metal mounting plate are not pre-threaded — use the self-tapping screws included in the kit to thread the plate as you install them. If the included screws feel blunt or don't bite well, threading with your original screws first and then switching to the new screws for final installation can help. Reinstall the drum, making sure it seats correctly on the new bearing. Reattach the drum belt and back panel, and double check that no leftover screws remain before closing everything up. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm quiet, smooth drum rotation. Tools needed: nut driver, Phillips or square-drive screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer is making a loud grinding or squealing noise. Is this the part I need?
Yes, this is one of the most common symptoms of a worn rear drum bearing. One customer described their dryer as no longer "talking back" after the repair — no more chatter or grinding — confirming this bearing was the source of the noise.
Why does it matter that the mounting plate holes aren't pre-threaded?
Since the plate isn't pre-threaded, the self-tapping screws included in the kit have to cut their own threads as you install them, which takes a bit more care than screwing into an already-threaded hole. One customer found the included screws were blunt and didn't tap easily, and got better results starting the threads with their original, sharper screws before switching to the new screws for the final installation.
Should I clean anything else while I have the dryer open for this repair?
Yes, it's worth it. One customer found their motor "completely embedded with lint and animal hair" during this repair and spent extra time cleaning it out. Since you'll already have the back panel and drum removed, this is a good opportunity to clear out accumulated lint throughout the cabinet.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Frigidaire to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original bearing style, dimensions, and hardware configuration of the rear drum bearing kit originally installed in your dryer.

WP3363003 Washer Upper Agitator
Fits Specific Top Load Washer Models.
Replaces Part Number: WP3363003, 3363003, 2654, AP6008106, PS11741237.
Description: The Upper Agitator is an OEM part designed for select Kenmore, Whirlpool top-loading washing machines.
XPARTCO MFG63099101 Washer Door Strike (Door Lock Hook)
The XPARTCO MFG63099101 is an aftermarket replacement washer door strike — also called a door lock hook or door latch hook — compatible with a wide range of LG front-load washers and Kenmore 796-series washing machines. The door strike is the metal hook component mounted on the inside edge of the washer door. When the door closes, the hook enters the door lock switch on the front panel and engages the electromagnetic lock mechanism, signaling the control board that the door is closed and locking it for safe operation during wash and spin cycles. Without an intact door strike, the lock can't grip anything, and the washer will not start.
When the strike breaks — typically from repeated use, sudden impact, or stress over thousands of door cycles — the washer will not start, may stop mid-cycle, may display DE1 or DE2 error codes, leak water around the door, or fail to lock altogether. It directly replaces MFG63099101, AGF77417823, AP5787149, 2759645, PS8752721, EAP8752721, and PD00046132. Important: replacing the strike requires removing the inside door panel to access the hook — note that the inner glass insert is loose during disassembly and must be handled carefully. Often replaced alongside the matching door lock switch (EBF61315802, sold separately). Installs in 15–20 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO MFG63099101 Washer Door Strike fixes LG and Kenmore 796-series front-load washers where the door won't lock, won't start, stops mid-cycle, displays DE1 or DE2 errors, or leaks at the door. Metal hook attaches to the inside of the washer door — engages the lock switch when the door closes. Replaces MFG63099101, AGF77417823, AP5787149, 2759645, PS8752721, EAP8752721, PD00046132. Often paired with the door lock switch (EBF61315802, sold separately).
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Washer door not latching properly — strike broken or worn down
Washer not starting because the door isn't detected as locked
Washer stopping mid-cycle due to a door fault
DE1 or DE2 error codes displayed on the control panel
Minor water drips or leaks around the door during operation — door not sealing because the strike isn't fully engaging
Door strike visibly broken, chipped, or missing on the inside edge of the door
Door not staying closed — strike worn from repeated impact
Washer not powering on

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting — Don't Drop the Inner Glass Disconnect power before beginning. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Open the washer door — if the door is stuck locked because of a broken strike, use a putty knife to pry the white latch on the door lock through the bottom service opening to release the door. With the door open, locate the screws around the perimeter of the inner door panel. Remove the screws to release the inner door panel from the outer frame. Important: the inner glass insert is loose once the panel is unscrewed — support the glass with one hand as you pry the panel away to prevent it from falling out and breaking. Note the orientation of the old door strike (the direction it points and how it's seated). Use needle-nose pliers or tweezers to pull out the retaining pin holding the old strike in place, then remove the broken strike. Install the new MFG63099101 strike in the same direction and orientation as the old one — installing it backwards will prevent the lock from engaging. Reinsert the retaining pin to secure it. Carefully reposition the glass insert into the door, reinstall the inner door panel, and tighten the screws. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm the door locks properly and there are no leaks. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, needle-nose pliers or tweezers, putty knife (for stuck doors), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the door strike and the door lock switch?
These are two separate parts that work together to lock the washer door. The door strike (MFG63099101) is the metal hook attached to the inside edge of the washer door — when the door closes, the hook is what physically enters the lock assembly. The door lock switch (EBF61315802) is the assembly mounted on the front panel just inside the door opening — it contains the electromagnetic mechanism that grips and locks the strike, and the electrical sensor that tells the control board the door is closed. If the strike is broken, the lock has nothing to grip and the washer won't start. If the switch is broken, the strike can still enter the slot but the lock won't engage or send the right signal. Both can fail independently, and often wear together — many repairs call for replacing both at the same time.
My washer door is stuck closed — how do I get it open to install this?
If the door is stuck in the locked position because the existing strike has broken off inside the lock or the lock won't release, you can use a putty knife or thin flat tool to manually release the door lock through the bottom service opening of the washer. Reach in through the access panel at the lower front of the unit and locate the white plastic latch on the back of the door lock assembly — gently push or pry it to release the mechanism. The door should then open. Once open, you can proceed with the strike installation. Always disconnect power from the washer first.
The number on my old strike doesn't match — is it still compatible?
In many cases, yes. LG sometimes prints production batch codes on door strikes that look like part numbers but don't match the official OEM part number. As long as your washer's parts diagram lists MFG63099101 (or one of its cross-references: AGF77417823, AP5787149, 2759645, PS8752721, EAP8752721, PD00046132), this strike is the correct fit. If you're unsure, contact our support team with your washer model number and we'll verify before you order.
Should I replace the door lock switch (EBF61315802) at the same time?
Not always, but often. The strike and the lock switch work together as a pair — if one is worn, the other has typically experienced the same load over thousands of cycles and is approaching the end of its service life. When a broken strike is the cause of the failure, examine the lock switch when the panel is open: if the lock mechanism shows visible wear, doesn't grip the new strike firmly, or has corroded contacts, replace it at the same time. Since the door is already partially disassembled and you have the washer apart, doing both at once saves a second repair session.
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 durable metal to match the dimensions, mounting configuration, and lock-engagement function of the original MFG63099101 door strike used in compatible LG and Kenmore 796-series front-load washers.

DC61-02432A Genuine OEM Samsung Washer Suspension Spring Guide
The DC61-02432A is a genuine Samsung OEM suspension spring guide (bracket) for Samsung and select Kenmore washers. This small but structurally important bracket connects the washer's outer frame to one of the suspension springs that support the wash tub, keeping the spring correctly seated and aligned as the tub moves during fill, wash, and especially spin. The tub itself hangs suspended inside the cabinet, and it's this network of springs and guides that lets it move and absorb vibration without banging against the surrounding frame or panels.
Because this guide holds the spring in its proper working position, a cracked, worn, or broken guide lets the spring drift out of alignment or lose tension where it seats. The result is usually excessive tub movement, unusual banging or knocking noises (especially during spin), or a washer that seems to "walk" or vibrate more than it used to. Left unaddressed, a spring that has come loose from a failed guide can allow the tub to strike the cabinet repeatedly, accelerating wear on nearby components. It directly replaces AP5581510, 2069491, and PS4206750. As a genuine OEM part, the DC61-02432A is manufactured by Samsung to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.
Quick Answer

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning. Wear work gloves. Depending on your washer's design, you may need to remove the cabinet or rear access panel to reach the suspension spring and its guide bracket at the top of the tub assembly. Photograph how the old guide and spring are connected to the frame before removing anything, since suspension components are often symmetrical and easy to reverse or mismatch between mounting points. Carefully release the tension on the affected spring — depending on the model, this may involve unhooking the spring from the frame or the tub side first, then removing the old guide from its mounting point on the frame. Install the new DC61-02432A guide in the same position, then reattach the spring, making sure it seats fully and squarely in the new guide. Check any other springs and guides in the suspension system while you're in there, since if one has failed from age or wear, the others are often not far behind. Reassemble any panels you removed, restore power, and run a spin cycle to confirm the excessive movement, vibration, or banging noise has resolved. Tools needed: screwdriver (model-dependent access), pliers (helpful for spring tension), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer bangs loudly during spin. Is this the part I need?
It's a strong possibility, especially if the banging has developed gradually or seems to come from inside the cabinet near the tub. This guide keeps the suspension spring seated and aligned; when it cracks or wears out, the spring can shift out of position, letting the tub move more than it should and strike nearby components. Before ordering, it's worth opening up the access panel if you're comfortable doing so, to visually confirm whether a spring has come loose or a guide bracket looks cracked or broken.
Does this part include the suspension spring?
No — this is the guide/bracket only, which connects the frame to the spring. If your suspension spring itself is stretched, rusted, corroded, or snapped, you'll need to order the correct spring for your model separately in addition to this guide.
Should I replace just one guide, or check the others too?
It's worth inspecting the other suspension springs and guides while you have access, since they're typically all the same age and subject to the same wear. If one has failed, the others may not be far behind, and replacing them together can save you from repeating this repair again soon after.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Samsung to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original bracket geometry and mounting fit of the suspension spring guide originally installed in your washer.

WP694089 Dryer Genuine OEM Blower Wheel
The WP694089 is a Genuine OEM replacement dryer blower wheel compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Roper, Estate, Crosley, Inglis, Caloric, Hardwick, and Glenwood 29-inch dryers with a lint filter on top. The blower wheel works together with the drive motor to create the airflow that makes drying possible — it draws heated air through the heating element, pushes it into and through the drum to evaporate moisture from your clothes, and exhausts it out through the vent system. Without a properly functioning blower wheel, airflow drops, drying times increase dramatically, and the dryer may overheat.
Measures 8-5/8" in diameter. Mounts on the motor's blower shaft with left-hand threads — to remove the old blower wheel, turn it clockwise (the reverse of standard threading). This blower wheel fits dryers where the motor is mounted in the rear of the cabinet, not the front. Common causes of failure: the internal sleeve wears out over time, allowing the wheel to wobble on the motor shaft; lint, socks, or small clothing articles escape past the lint filter and jam the wheel; or the plastic fins crack and break from age or debris impact. It directly replaces WP694089, WP694089VP, AP6010602, 279500, 279711, 299678, 338840, 343939, 343941, 686172, 695499, DE601, PS11743785, AH383953, EA383953, and PS383953. Installs in 30–60 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The WP694089 Dryer Blower Wheel fixes Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Roper, Estate, and Admiral 29" dryers that take too long to dry, make loud thumping/rattling/scraping noises, have weak airflow, or won't tumble. 8-5/8" diameter. Left-hand threads (turn clockwise to remove). Fits rear-mounted motor dryers with lint filter on top. Replaces WP694089, WP694089VP, AP6010602, 279500, 279711, 299678, 338840, 343939, 343941, 686172, 695499, DE601, PS11743785. Check for trapped lint, socks, or debris before replacing — a jammed wheel may not be broken.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer takes too long to dry clothes — reduced airflow from a worn or damaged blower wheel
Loud thumping, rattling, or scraping noise during operation — debris caught in the wheel or broken fins
Weak or no airflow from the exhaust vent — wheel wobbling or not spinning properly
Clothes still damp at the end of the cycle — inadequate air circulation
Dryer overheating — restricted airflow causing heat buildup
Blower wheel wobbling on the motor shaft — worn internal sleeve
Sock, small garment, or lint clump jammed in the blower wheel
Blower wheel fins cracked or broken from debris impact or age
Dryer running but drum not turning — severely damaged wheel preventing motor from spinning

Installation Notes
⚠️ Disconnect Power Before Starting — 240V Circuit (Electric) or Gas Line (Gas) — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power at the breaker before beginning — electric dryers operate on a 240V circuit. For gas dryers, also shut off the gas supply. Wear work gloves and safety glasses. Pull the dryer away from the wall. Access the blower wheel by removing the dryer's back panel — remove the screws securing the rear panel and set it aside. Locate the blower housing at the bottom rear of the dryer, connected to the motor. The blower wheel is inside this housing, mounted on the motor's blower shaft. Remove the blower housing cover or clamp to expose the wheel. Important: the blower wheel has left-hand threads. To remove the old blower wheel, turn it clockwise (the opposite of standard threading). If the wheel is stuck on the shaft, hold the motor pulley on the other end of the shaft to prevent it from turning while you unscrew the wheel. If the old wheel's plastic hub has seized on the shaft from age, you may need to use a flat-blade screwdriver to gently pry it — some customers report the old wheel breaks apart during removal, which is fine since you're replacing it. Before installing the new wheel, clean out any lint, debris, socks, or clothing articles from the blower housing. Thread the new 694089 blower wheel onto the motor shaft counterclockwise (remember: left-hand threads — counterclockwise tightens). Tighten firmly by hand. Reassemble the blower housing, reinstall the rear panel, push the dryer back into place, and restore power. Run a test cycle and check airflow at the exhaust vent. Tools needed: Nut driver, Phillips screwdriver, flat-blade screwdriver, work gloves, safety glasses.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer is making a loud thumping or rattling noise — is the blower wheel the cause?
It's one of the most common causes of dryer noise, yes. There are two main ways the blower wheel causes noise: first, lint, socks, or small clothing articles can escape past the lint filter and get caught in the wheel, where they hit the housing with each rotation — producing a rhythmic thumping or scraping sound. Second, the wheel's internal sleeve can wear out over time, allowing the wheel to wobble loosely on the motor shaft, which creates a rattling or vibrating noise. Before ordering a new wheel, check for trapped debris first — pull the back panel and inspect the blower housing. Clearing a stuck sock may solve the problem immediately. If the wheel wobbles freely on the shaft or has cracked/broken fins, it needs replacement.
Why does the blower wheel have left-hand threads?
The left-hand (reverse) threading is by design. The motor shaft spins in a direction that would naturally loosen a standard right-hand threaded wheel over time. By using left-hand threads, the motor's rotation actually tightens the wheel onto the shaft during operation, preventing it from working loose while the dryer runs. This means: turn clockwise to remove the old wheel (opposite of what you'd expect), and turn counterclockwise to tighten the new wheel onto the shaft. Many customers get stuck at this step because they instinctively turn counterclockwise to loosen — so if the wheel seems stuck, try turning it the other way first.
My dryer takes forever to dry — is the blower wheel the issue?
It can be, but check the easier things first. Long drying times are usually caused by restricted airflow, and the most common culprit is a clogged or kinked exhaust vent hose — clean the entire vent path from the dryer to the outside wall first. Also clean the lint filter and check the lint trap housing for buildup. If the vent system is clear and drying times are still long, the blower wheel is a strong candidate: a worn sleeve that lets the wheel wobble reduces its ability to move air efficiently, and cracked fins reduce airflow even if the wheel still spins. You can test by running the dryer and checking the airflow at the outside exhaust vent — weak or no airflow with a clear vent path points to the blower wheel.
Does this fit dryers with the motor in the front?
No — the 694089 blower wheel is designed for 29" Whirlpool-platform dryers where the motor is mounted in the rear of the cabinet. If your dryer has the motor in the front, it uses a different blower wheel. The easiest way to confirm: look at the back of the dryer — if you can see the motor and blower housing when the rear panel is removed, the motor is in the rear and this wheel fits (verify your model number too). If the motor is accessible from the front, this is not the correct part. Contact our support team with your model number and we'll confirm.
The old blower wheel is stuck on the shaft — how do I get it off?
First, make sure you're turning it the right direction — this has left-hand threads, so turn clockwise to loosen (the opposite of normal). If it's truly stuck from age or corrosion: hold the motor pulley on the other end of the shaft with one hand (or use pliers wrapped in a cloth) to keep the shaft from spinning, then turn the blower wheel clockwise with the other hand. If the plastic hub has seized, a flat-blade screwdriver can help gently pry it. In many cases, an old seized blower wheel will crack and break apart during removal — that's perfectly fine since you're replacing it anyway. Just make sure all the old pieces are cleared from the blower housing before installing the new wheel.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM replacement part. It is a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, this original WP694089 blower wheel used in compatible Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, and related 29" dryers.

XPARTCO 8572717 Washer Motor Start Capacitor
The XPARTCO 8572717 is an aftermarket replacement motor start capacitor for Whirlpool-built top-load washers and washer/dryer combination units. Unlike a run capacitor that stays in the circuit continuously, this start capacitor's job is brief and intense: at the instant the motor is commanded to start, it delivers a strong momentary boost of voltage to help the motor overcome its own inertia and get up to speed quickly. Once the motor reaches running speed, a relay switches it out of the circuit, handing off to the run capacitor for continuous operation. That short, high-stress duty cycle is exactly why start capacitors are a common failure point — they work hard for a fraction of a second on every single cycle start.
Rated 189–227 MFD at 125VAC, 60Hz. The capacitor is a black cylindrical component mounted to the rear panel of the washer, held in place by a small plastic retaining clip and wrapped in a foam shield that protects it from moisture. Common failure modes include the internal dielectric breaking down from repeated startup stress, and in some cases the capacitor overheating badly enough to produce visible smoke if it fails while still energized. A failing start capacitor produces a clear symptom: the washer motor hums but won't start, or the motor fails to spin up while other functions of the washer still respond normally. It directly replaces 357021, 3949169, 661606, W10161696, W10244889, AP6013434, AH11746660, EA11746660, EAP11746660, PS11746660, AWP49120, and PD00003006.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 8572717 Washer Motor Start Capacitor fixes Whirlpool-built top-load washers and washer/dryer combos where the motor hums but won't start, the washer won't agitate or spin, or there's a burning smell from the motor area. Includes foam shield. 189–227 MFD, 125VAC, 60Hz. Replaces 357021, 3949169, 661606, W10161696, W10244889, AP6013434, AH11746660, EA11746660, EAP11746660, PS11746660, AWP49120, PD00003006. Capacitors store a dangerous electrical charge even after power is disconnected — always discharge before handling.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Danger — Capacitors Store A Dangerous Electrical Charge Unplug the washer or shut off the house circuit breaker before beginning. A capacitor stores an electrical charge even after power has been disconnected, and that charge can deliver a serious or fatal shock. Before touching either terminal, discharge the capacitor by shorting its two terminals together using an insulated-handle screwdriver, or by using a proper capacitor discharge tool with a resistor. Never short the terminals with a bare metal tool held with your bare hand. If you are not fully comfortable performing a capacitor discharge safely, have a qualified appliance technician replace this part instead.
⚠️ Transfer The Foam Shield To The New Capacitor Wear work gloves. Remove the washer's console and then the spring clips that secure the top/body assembly to the washer frame, using a putty knife to gently release them. With the body lifted or set aside, locate the capacitor — a black cylindrical component mounted to the rear panel, held in place by a small plastic retaining clip. Using a flat-blade screwdriver, gently pop the plastic clip away from the capacitor to release it. After confirming the capacitor is fully discharged, unplug it from the appliance wiring. Remove the foam shield from the old capacitor and transfer it onto the new one before installing — this shield protects the capacitor from moisture, and skipping it leaves the new part more exposed to washer humidity. Connect the new 8572717 capacitor to the wiring, snap it back into the plastic retaining clip in the same position, and reassemble the body, spring clips, and console in reverse order. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm the motor starts promptly on both agitate and spin. Tools needed: putty knife, flat-blade screwdriver, Phillips screwdriver, insulated-handle screwdriver or capacitor discharge tool, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer motor hums but won't start. Is this the right part?
Yes, this is the classic symptom of a failed start capacitor. Since this capacitor's entire job is delivering the momentary voltage boost needed to get the motor spinning from a standstill, a failure here often leaves the motor energized and humming but unable to actually overcome its own inertia and start turning.
What's the difference between a start capacitor and a run capacitor?
A start capacitor works only for a brief moment — it delivers a strong voltage boost the instant the motor is told to start, then a relay switches it out of the circuit once the motor reaches running speed. A run capacitor, by contrast, stays in the circuit continuously while the motor operates, correcting current phase for efficiency. Because the start capacitor works so hard in such a short burst on every single start, it's a more common failure point than a run capacitor on this type of motor.
Do I need to reuse the foam shield from my old capacitor?
Yes, it's worth transferring. The foam shield wraps around the capacitor to protect it from moisture inside the washer cabinet, and reusing it on the new capacitor helps the replacement hold up the same way the original was designed to. If the foam has degraded significantly, you can skip it, but it's a simple step that adds meaningful protection.
My old capacitor got hot and smoked. Is that dangerous?
Yes — a capacitor that overheats to the point of smoking has failed in a way that can pose a fire or electrical hazard, and the washer should not be used again until it's replaced. This kind of failure typically happens when a capacitor stays energized longer than it should, generating heat it isn't designed to dissipate. Replace the capacitor and, if the washer's start relay or timer seems to be holding the capacitor in the circuit too long, have that checked as well.
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 electrical specifications (189–227 MFD, 125VAC, 60Hz), cylindrical form factor, and mounting configuration of the original WP8572717 start capacitor used in compatible Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, and related top-load washers and washer/dryer combos.

XPARTCO WH05X24185 Washer Clutch
The XPARTCO WH05X24185 is an aftermarket replacement clutch for GE top-load washers, and also fits select Hotpoint, Haier, Monogram, and Café models. This clutch engages and disengages the transmission during the wash and spin cycles, transferring the motor's power to spin the basket so your clothes finish damp rather than soaked.
Made of white plastic with a glossy finish, measuring approximately 3"L x 3"W x 1"H. Sold individually and does not include any other parts, such as the shift actuator (our WH03X30517 listing) that works alongside it. Common causes of failure include wear and tear over time, excessive load, or mechanical obstruction. Symptoms of a worn or failing clutch include clothes coming out wet even after a completed spin cycle, a slight burning odor during operation, or issues with spinning or agitating. It directly replaces WH05X24185, 4588013, AGE26046, AP5993402, EAP11729473, PD00043605, PS11729473.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WH05X24185 Washer Clutch fixes GE, Hotpoint, Haier, Monogram, and Café top-load washers where clothes come out wet after spinning, there's a slight burning odor during operation, or the washer has trouble spinning or agitating. White plastic, glossy finish, ~3"L x 3"W x 1"H. Sold individually. Replaces WH05X24185, 4588013, AGE26046, AP5993402, EAP11729473, PD00043605, PS11729473. If you also see grease pooling on the floor under the washer, that's more likely a transmission gearcase leak than this clutch — and if the agitator only slips in one direction, check the agitator bolt before assuming the clutch has failed.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning to cut off electricity and prevent accidental shocks. Wear work gloves. Remove the two screws at the back of the washer with a Phillips head screwdriver, then pull off the main console and carefully set it aside. Locate the access plate on the transmission side and remove the screws securing it. Take the belt off the pulley and remove the belt guard. Remove the four screws that secure the clutch and take it off from the wet end of the transmission. Install the new WH05X24185 clutch and replace the four screws. Reattach the belt, pulley, and access plate, and replace their screws. Put the main console back onto the washer and secure it with the two screws. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm clothes are coming out properly damp at the end of the spin cycle, with no burning odor or unusual noise. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, socket wrench, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My clothes come out wet after the spin cycle. Is this the clutch I need?
Yes, this is one of the most common symptoms of a worn or failing clutch. Since this clutch is what engages the transmission to spin the basket at high speed, a worn clutch can slip rather than fully engaging, leaving clothes wetter than they should be at the end of the cycle. A slight burning odor during operation is another documented sign of the same wear.
I noticed grease on the floor under my washer. Is that this clutch leaking?
Not directly — grease pooling under the washer typically comes from the gearcase transmission itself rather than the clutch. If you're seeing this symptom, the transmission may need attention in addition to, or instead of, this clutch, depending on what else you're experiencing.
My agitator slips going one direction but not the other. Is that the clutch?
Not necessarily. This specific symptom — the agitator pulling fine in one direction but slipping in the other — is more often traced to a loose agitator bolt. It's worth checking and tightening that bolt first; if the problem persists, the agitator base hybrid assembly may need inspection before assuming this clutch is at fault.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine GE OEM part, but is manufactured to match the material, dimensions, and mounting configuration of the original WH05X24185 clutch used in compatible GE, Hotpoint, Haier, Monogram, and Café top-load washers.

XPARTCO 8557403 Dryer High-Limit Thermostat with Thermistor Replaces WP8557403
The XPARTCO 8557403 is an aftermarket replacement dryer high-limit thermostat and thermistor sensor assembly compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Amana, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Roper, Admiral, Norge, and Magic Chef electric dryers — including the Whirlpool Duet and Maytag MED series. This single component combines two functions: the high-limit thermostat (rated L146-44C, opens at 295°F) acts as a resettable safety switch that cuts power to the heating element if the dryer air temperature exceeds safe limits, and the integrated 50-ohm thermistor continuously monitors air temperature and sends resistance-based readings to the control board to regulate the drying cycle.
When this part fails — whether the thermostat opens permanently or the thermistor provides incorrect temperature data — the dryer may produce no heat, run too hot, take too long to dry, overheat, or display temperature-related error codes. It measures 1-5/8"L x 1-5/8"W x 2"H with approximately 1-5/8" between mounting holes and is constructed from black/gray plastic and metal. It directly replaces WP8557403, 1180102, AP6013164, EAP11746386, PD00003588, and PS11746386. Note: the exhaust duct thermostat and thermal fuse are separate parts — if those have also failed, they must be ordered separately. Installs in 15–20 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Electric Dryers Only Disconnect power before beginning. The 8557403 thermostat/thermistor assembly is typically located on the heating element housing or duct inside the dryer — access it by removing the back panel. On Whirlpool Duet and Maytag front-load-style dryers, the component may be accessible by removing the lower front panel. Photograph all wire connections before disconnecting — the thermistor wires and thermostat wires must be reconnected to the correct terminals. Remove the two mounting screws and pull the old assembly off. Note the position and orientation before removing. Install the new 8557403 assembly in the same position and orientation, reconnect all wires, and reinstall the mounting screws and panel. Restore power and run a test heat cycle to confirm normal operation. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this part unusual — why does it combine a thermostat and a thermistor?
The WP8557403 is a combined assembly used on newer Whirlpool Duet and Maytag MED series dryers that use electronic temperature control rather than purely mechanical thermostats. The high-limit thermostat (L146-44C) provides the traditional safety function — it opens the circuit if dryer temperature exceeds 295°F. The integrated NTC thermistor continuously reports resistance-based temperature data to the electronic control board, which uses the data to regulate the heating element and control cycle timing. Both functions are built into a single compact housing, making this a unique part that replaces what older dryers used to handle with separate components.
How do I test the thermostat and thermistor?
Set your multimeter to continuity or resistance mode. For the thermostat portion: probe the thermostat terminals — at room temperature, a working thermostat shows closed continuity (near-zero resistance). An open circuit at room temperature confirms the thermostat has failed. For the thermistor portion: probe the thermistor terminals — at room temperature (approximately 25°C/77°F), a working 50-ohm NTC thermistor should read approximately 50 ohms. A reading of zero ohms (shorted) or open circuit (no continuity) confirms the thermistor has failed. Either failure mode warrants replacing the complete 8557403 assembly.
What is the difference between 8557403 and WP8557403?
These are the same part. WP8557403 is the updated Whirlpool OEM part number that superseded the original 8557403. The 1180102 is also a cross-reference for this same assembly. This aftermarket replacement is compatible with all of these numbers.
Do I also need to replace the thermal fuse or cycling thermostat?
The 8557403 replaces the high-limit thermostat and thermistor mounted on the heating element housing area. The exhaust duct thermal fuse (WP3392519 on most Whirlpool-family dryers) and cycling thermostat (WP3387134) are separate components located on the exhaust duct and are not included in or replaced by the 8557403. If your dryer has no heat, test all thermal components before ordering — check the 8557403 assembly, the thermal fuse, and the cycling thermostat, then order only what has failed. If an overheating event caused the high-limit to fail, the other thermal components may be stressed as well.
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 plastic and metal with an L146-44C thermostat and 50-ohm NTC thermistor to match the specifications and performance of the original WP8557403 assembly.
