WH23X38617 Genuine OEM GE Washer Drain Pump Filter with Seal
The WH23X38617 is a Genuine OEM GE replacement drain pump filter with seal, compatible with select GE, GE Profile, and GE 2-in-1 Washer/Dryer Combo models. The pump filter sits inside the drain pump housing and traps lint, coins, hair, and small debris before they reach the pump impeller. Keeping this filter clean and intact is essential for proper drainage — a clogged or damaged filter causes slow draining, standing water in the tub, and can strain the drain pump over time.
This genuine OEM part is manufactured by GE to factory specifications and includes both the pump filter and the seal. The seal prevents leaks at the pump clean-out when the filter is installed correctly. The filter body is blue plastic with rubber seal components, measuring approximately 6" L x 3" W x 3" H. It directly replaces part number AP7243923 and installs with a simple counterclockwise removal and clockwise installation — no special tools required.
Quick Answer
The WH23X38617 Genuine OEM GE Washer Drain Pump Filter with Seal fixes GE washers that drain slowly, leave standing water in the tub, or leak near the pump access panel. The filter traps lint and debris to protect the pump impeller. Includes filter and seal. Blue plastic/rubber, approx. 6" L x 3" W x 3" H. Twist-out installation — no tools needed. Compatible with GE, GE Profile, and GE 2-in-1 Washer/Dryer Combo models.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer and Shut Off Water Before Starting Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing the drain pump filter. Place towels or a shallow pan beneath the filter access panel to catch residual water — there will always be some water remaining in the pump housing when you remove the filter. Locate the pump filter access panel at the lower front of the washer and open or remove it. Turn the old WH23X38617 filter counterclockwise to loosen and remove it. Clear any debris from the filter housing and wipe the area clean. Install the new filter and seal by inserting it into the housing and turning it clockwise until snug — do not overtighten. Close or reinstall the access panel, restore water supply and power, then run a short cycle to verify proper drainage and confirm there are no leaks at the filter port. Tip: Clean the pump filter every 1–3 months as part of regular washer maintenance to prevent buildup. Tools needed: None for the filter itself; a screwdriver may be needed to open the access panel on some models.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the drain pump filter do?
The drain pump filter catches lint, coins, hair, buttons, and other small items before they can reach the drain pump impeller. Without the filter, debris can jam or damage the impeller — leading to pump failure, loud grinding noises, or a washer that won't drain. The filter also acts as a cleanout access point so you can periodically remove accumulated debris without disassembling the pump.
How often should I clean or replace the pump filter?
GE recommends cleaning the pump filter every 1–3 months depending on how frequently you run the washer and how much lint your laundry produces. The filter should be replaced rather than just cleaned if it is cracked, stripped at the threads, or if the seal is damaged or missing — a compromised filter or seal will leak water from the access port.
Why is water leaking from the front of my GE washer near the bottom?
A leak at the lower front of the washer near the pump access panel is most often caused by a damaged or deteriorated pump filter seal, a cracked filter body, or a filter that is not fully tightened. Replacing the WH23X38617 pump filter and seal resolves this in most cases. Make sure the new filter is hand-tightened snugly — do not overtighten, as this can crack the housing.
Will there be water when I remove the pump filter?
Yes — there is always residual water in the drain pump housing. Before removing the filter, place towels and a shallow pan or tray directly under the access panel to catch the water. The amount varies depending on how much water remains in the washer after the last cycle. Running a drain-only cycle immediately before removing the filter will minimize the amount of water released.
Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by GE to factory specifications. It is the exact same pump filter and seal that GE installs in compatible models from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

EXP651 Dryer Belt and Idler Pulley Kit Replaces WPW10112954, W10837240
The EXP651 is an aftermarket dryer repair kit containing two essential drum drive components for select Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Crosley, Admiral, Inglis, and Roper dryers. The kit includes one drum belt (replaces WPW10112954) and one idler pulley assembly with bracket (replaces W10837240) — the two parts most commonly worn together when a dryer drum stops spinning or becomes noisy.
Replacing both the belt and idler pulley at the same time is the smart repair choice. Since the dryer must be disassembled to access either part, doing both in one repair saves you from having to take the machine apart again if the second part fails shortly after. This kit covers the two most common failure points in the Whirlpool-family dryer drum drive system.
Quick Answer
The EXP651 Dryer Belt and Idler Pulley Kit fixes dryers where the drum is not spinning, making loud squeaking or grinding noises, or the belt has broken. Includes one 93-1/4" x 5/16" 5-rib drum belt (WPW10112954) and one idler pulley assembly with bracket (W10837240). Compatible with select Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Crosley, Admiral, Inglis, and Roper dryers.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Safety First — Unplug Dryer Before Starting Unplug the dryer from the power source (and shut off the gas supply for gas dryers) before beginning any repair. Remove the lint screen, then unscrew the Phillips screws inside the lint screen housing. Use a putty knife to release the top panel clips and lift the top panel. Remove the front panel to access the drum and drive components. Release belt tension at the old idler pulley, lift the drum slightly, and slide the old belt off. Remove the old idler arm assembly by unscrewing the mounting screw, then install the new W10837240 idler pulley assembly and secure with the screw. Loop the new WPW10112954 belt around the drum with the ribbed side facing inward, then route it around the new idler pulley and motor pulley. Consult your model's service manual or a model-specific repair video for the correct belt path. Reassemble and run a test cycle. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife or flat pry tool.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I replace the belt and idler pulley at the same time?
The belt and idler pulley wear together — when one fails, the other is usually close behind. Since the dryer must be fully disassembled to access either part, replacing both in a single repair saves you from having to take the machine apart again soon after. It also protects the new belt from being damaged by a worn pulley, and vice versa.
How does the W10837240 differ from other Whirlpool idler pulleys?
The W10837240 is the updated idler pulley arm and bracket assembly designed for Whirlpool-family dryers that have the lint screen inside the door. It replaces the older W10547287 and W10547290 assemblies. Some older or different Whirlpool models use a different idler pulley style — if you're unsure which one your dryer needs, contact our support team with your model number before ordering.
What is the difference between WPW10112954 and W10112954?
These are the same belt. WPW10112954 is the updated Whirlpool OEM part number that superseded the original W10112954. Both refer to the identical drum belt included in this kit.
Should I also replace the drum rollers at the same time?
It depends on the condition of your rollers. Since the dryer is already fully disassembled, it is a good opportunity to inspect the drum support rollers for flat spots, cracks, or wobbling. If they show any wear, replacing them at the same time is recommended to avoid a third disassembly. Check your model's roller part number before ordering.
Are these OEM or aftermarket parts?
Both parts in this kit are aftermarket replacements built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. They are not genuine Whirlpool OEM parts, but are manufactured to match the dimensions and performance of the original WPW10112954 belt and W10837240 idler pulley assembly.

Remove the lint screen and unscrew the Phillips screws inside the lint screen housing. Use a putty knife to release the top panel clips and lift the top panel.

Route the belt around the idler pulley and motor pulley — consult your dryer's service manual or a model-specific repair video for the correct belt path. Reassemble and run a test cycle. Tip: While the drum is out, inspect and replace the idler pulley (W10837240) and drum rollers (WPW10314173) if worn. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife or flat pry tool.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between 661570 and 661570V?
These are the same belt. 661570V is the updated OEM part number (the "V" denotes the current version) that superseded the original 661570. Both numbers refer to the identical drum belt — this aftermarket replacement is compatible with both.
How does the 661570 differ from the 341241 and W10205415 belts?
All three are Whirlpool-family dryer drum belts, but they differ in length, width, and rib count. The 661570 is 93-1/2" long x 1/4" wide with 4 ribs and 3 grooves. The 341241 is 92-1/4" long x 1/4" wide with 4 ribs and 3 grooves. The W10205415 is 92" long x 3/8" wide with 5 ribs and 4 grooves. They are not interchangeable — always use the part number specific to your dryer model.
How do I know if my drum belt is broken?
The most obvious sign is that the dryer motor hums but the drum does not spin. You may also notice a thumping or slapping sound, a burning rubber smell, or damp clothes after a full drying cycle. Open the dryer cabinet to visually confirm if the belt is broken, frayed, or stretched out of shape.
Should I also replace the idler pulley and drum rollers?
Yes — since the dryer is already disassembled, it is highly recommended to inspect and replace the idler pulley (W10837240) and drum support rollers (WPW10314173) at the same time. All three parts wear together and are sold together in the 4392067 dryer repair kit. Replacing all three prevents having to disassemble the dryer again in the near future.
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 made from high-strength rubber to match the dimensions and performance of the original 661570V belt.

XPARTCO 349241T Dryer Drum Roller Set (2-Pack)
The XPARTCO 349241T is an aftermarket replacement dryer rear drum support roller set compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool-family 29-inch dryers including Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Roper, Crosley, Estate, Inglis, Admiral, and Magic Chef. The drum support rollers are cylindrical rubber-and-metal wheels mounted on shafts at the rear of the dryer cabinet that cradle and support the outer edge of the drum as it rotates. Without the rollers, the drum would drag directly on the cabinet, causing rapid wear and generating the loud thumping or squealing noise that indicates failing rollers.
This set includes 2 drum rollers, 4 tri-ring retaining clips, and 2 retaining washers — everything needed for a complete rear roller replacement. Each roller measures 3-1/4"L x 1"W x 3-1/4"H and is constructed from rubber over a metal bearing hub with a plastic axle support. Both rollers must always be replaced at the same time. The set directly replaces 349241, 349241TVP, 8170, 8205, 337089, 340352, 661562, 3389901, 3397588, 3397590, AP3098345, PS347627, and several additional cross-reference numbers. Often replaced together with the drum belt (341241) and idler pulley (691366 or 279640) for a complete drum drive repair. Installs in 30–60 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 349241T Dryer Drum Roller Set fixes Whirlpool-family 29" dryers that are squealing, thumping, rumbling, or where the drum is not turning smoothly.

Common Problems This Part Fixes
Loud thumping, rumbling, or squealing noise during the drying cycle
Grinding or scraping sound when the drum is turning
Drum turning unevenly or wobbling during operation
Drum not spinning — rollers so worn they can no longer support the drum
Squealing or squeaking that gets worse over time as roller bearings degrade
Marks or scuff lines on clothes — drum dragging against the dryer cabinet
Excessive vibration during the drying cycle

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting Disconnect power (and shut off gas for gas dryers) before beginning. Remove the lint screen and unscrew the screws inside the lint screen housing. Use a putty knife to release the top panel spring clips and lift the top panel. Remove the front panel to access the drum. Release the drive belt from the idler pulley, lift the drum forward, and set it aside. The rear drum support rollers are mounted on shafts on the rear bulkhead — each roller is secured with a tri-ring clip and a retaining washer. Use needle-nose pliers to remove the old tri-ring clips, then slide the old rollers off the shafts. Install the new rollers, new retaining washers, and new tri-ring clips on the shafts. Reinstall the drum, re-route the belt around the motor and idler pulley, and reassemble the front and top panels. Restore power and run a test cycle to verify quiet, smooth drum operation. Tip: while the dryer is open, inspect and replace the drum belt (341241) and idler pulley (691366 or 279640) if worn. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" or 5/16" nut driver, putty knife, needle-nose pliers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do the drum support rollers do?
The rear drum support rollers are cylindrical wheels mounted on fixed shafts at the back of the dryer cabinet. As the drum rotates, its rear outer rim rests on these rollers, which carry the drum's weight and allow it to spin smoothly and quietly. When the rubber wheels wear down or the bearing hubs corrode, the drum no longer rides smoothly on the rollers — causing thumping, rumbling, or squealing noises that get progressively worse. In severe cases, worn rollers allow the drum to sag and drag against the cabinet rear panel.
Why must I replace both rollers at the same time?
Both rear drum support rollers carry the same load and experience the same wear through every drying cycle. When one roller fails, the other has been under the same stress for the same number of cycles and is almost certainly near the end of its useful life. Replacing only the failed roller leaves one worn roller supporting the drum unevenly, which puts extra stress on the new roller and causes it to wear out much faster. Replace both rollers at the same time to ensure even drum support and get the full service life from the new parts.
Should I also replace the belt and idler pulley at the same time?
Yes — this is the ideal time. Since the dryer must be fully disassembled to access the rear drum rollers, replacing the drum belt (341241) and idler pulley (691366 or 279640) at the same time is strongly recommended. All three parts wear at similar rates, and a worn belt or idler pulley is often what caused the rollers to wear prematurely. Doing all three in one repair eliminates the most common drum drive failure points and saves you from repeating the teardown in the near future. The 4392065 maintenance kit includes all three parts together.
What causes dryer drum rollers to wear out?
Drum rollers wear naturally over time from the continuous load of supporting the rotating drum. The most common accelerating factors are operating the dryer with a worn or broken belt (which allows the drum to sag and puts extra weight on the rollers), running very large or heavy loads frequently, and allowing lint to accumulate around the roller shafts, which causes the bearings to run dry and wear faster. Regular dryer maintenance — including cleaning lint from around the drum and periodically checking the belt — helps extend roller life.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement set built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured from rubber, metal, and plastic to match the dimensions and load-bearing performance of the original 349241T drum roller set.

Troubleshooting Guide
Disconnect the dryer from electrical power before opening or servicing the cabinet.
Inspect the exhaust vent, lint path, and blower area. Restricted airflow can produce symptoms similar to a failed thermistor.
Inspect the thermistor body, terminals, connector, and wire harness for damage, corrosion, loose connections, or heat discoloration.
Disconnect the thermistor and test resistance with a multimeter. Compare the reading with the dryer service information for the measured temperature.
Warm or cool the sensor carefully. Resistance should change smoothly as temperature changes; an open circuit, short circuit, or unstable reading can indicate failure.
Check the heater circuit, thermal devices, moisture-sensing system, and control board when the thermistor tests within specification.
Safety: Do not bypass a thermistor or protective temperature device. Installation and diagnosis should be performed by a qualified person when you are not comfortable servicing electrical appliances.
When Should You Replace This Part?
The thermistor is open, shorted, or outside the specified resistance range
The sensor reading does not change correctly with temperature

Installation Notes
⚠️ Safety First — Unplug Dryer Before Starting Unplug the dryer from the power source (and shut off the gas supply for gas dryers) before beginning any repair. Remove the lint screen and unscrew the Phillips screws inside the lint screen housing. Use a putty knife to release the top panel clips and lift the top panel. Remove the front panel to access the drum and drive components. Release the drive belt tension by pushing the idler arm, then slide the belt off the idler pulley. Remove the mounting screw securing the old idler arm assembly and lift it out. Install the new W10837240 idler assembly, secure with the mounting screw, then re-route the drive belt around the new pulley and motor pulley. Reassemble the front panel, top panel, and restore power before running a test cycle. Tip: While the dryer is open, inspect the drum belt (WPW10112954) and drum support rollers for wear and replace if needed. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife or flat pry tool.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the idler pulley do?
The idler pulley is a spring-tensioned wheel mounted on an arm and bracket inside the dryer. It presses against the drive belt to maintain the correct tension needed to keep the belt gripping the drum and motor pulley. Without proper tension, the belt slips, loses contact, or causes the drum to stop spinning. A worn or seized idler pulley is one of the most common causes of dryer squeaking and drum spin failure.
Does W10837240 replace W10547287 and W10547290?
Yes. The W10837240 is the updated part number that directly supersedes both the W10547287 and W10547290 idler pulley assemblies. If your dryer originally used either of those older part numbers, the W10837240 is the correct current replacement.
How do I know if my lint screen is inside the door?
Open the dryer door and look for a slot or housing just inside the door opening — typically at the top or bottom of the door opening — where you pull out the lint filter. If the filter pulls out from inside the door frame, the W10837240 is designed for your dryer style. If the lint screen pulls out from the top of the dryer cabinet, contact our support team with your model number to identify the correct idler pulley for your machine.
Should I replace the drive belt at the same time?
Yes — since the dryer is already disassembled to replace the idler pulley, it is highly recommended to also inspect and replace the drum belt (WPW10112954) at the same time. The belt and idler pulley wear together, and a worn belt on a new pulley — or vice versa — significantly shortens the life of the new part.
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 durable plastic and metal to match the dimensions and performance of the original W10837240 idler pulley assembly.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting Disconnect power (and shut off gas for gas dryers) before beginning. Remove the lint screen and unscrew the screws inside the lint screen housing. Use a putty knife to release the top panel spring clips and lift the top panel. Remove the front panel to fully access the drum drive components. Release belt tension by pushing the idler pulley arm toward the motor and sliding the belt off. Note how the belt is routed before removing — take a photo. Unclip or unscrew the old idler pulley assembly from its mounting bracket. Install the new 691366 idler pulley in the same position. Re-route the belt around the drum (ribbed side in), under the idler pulley, and around the motor pulley, then release the idler arm to create tension. Reassemble the front and top panels, restore power, and run a test cycle. Tip: while the dryer is open, inspect and replace the drum belt (341241) and drum support rollers (349241T) if worn. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" or 5/16" nut driver, putty knife.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the idler pulley do?
The idler pulley is a spring-loaded arm and wheel assembly that presses against the drive belt between the drum and the motor pulley, keeping the belt under constant tension. This tension is what allows the belt to grip both the drum and the motor pulley without slipping as the motor spins. Without proper tension — or with a pulley bearing that has failed — the belt slips, the drum stops spinning, and the dryer produces heat but does not tumble clothes. A worn bearing also creates the high-pitched squealing sound that is the most common sign of idler pulley failure.
What is the difference between 691366 and WP691366?
These are the same idler pulley assembly. WP691366 is the updated Whirlpool OEM part number that superseded the original 691366. The W10612905 is also a cross-reference for the same assembly. This aftermarket replacement is compatible with all three numbers.
What is the difference between 691366 and W10837240?
Both are Whirlpool dryer idler pulley assemblies, but for different dryer generations. The 691366 (WP691366) is used on older Whirlpool-family dryers with the lint filter on top of the dryer. The W10837240 is a larger, redesigned idler arm and bracket assembly used on newer Whirlpool-family dryers with the lint screen inside the door. They are not interchangeable. Always verify your model number to confirm which idler pulley is correct for your dryer.
Should I also replace the belt and drum rollers at the same time?
Yes — since the dryer must be disassembled to replace the idler pulley, this is the ideal time to also inspect and replace the drum belt (341241) and rear drum support rollers (349241T). All three parts are part of the same drum drive system and wear at similar rates. The 4392065 maintenance kit includes all three together and is the recommended approach for a complete drum drive repair — one teardown covers everything.
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 durable plastic and metal with a ball-bearing pulley wheel to match the dimensions and performance of the original WP691366 idler pulley assembly.

⚠️ Electrical Safety Warning This kit connects the power cord to the dryer's terminal block — a high-voltage connection carrying 240V. Always unplug the dryer and shut off the circuit breaker before beginning installation. Loose or improperly tightened terminal screws can cause arcing, overheating, blown fuses, or fire. If you are not comfortable working with high-voltage electrical connections, have this part installed by a qualified appliance technician.
Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug and Switch Off Breaker Before Starting Unplug the dryer from the wall outlet and turn off the circuit breaker for the dryer before beginning any work on the terminal block. Locate the terminal block cover plate on the back of the dryer and remove it by unscrewing the retaining screw. Use needle-nose pliers to carefully disconnect the power cord wires from the terminal block. Remove the old screws and nuts using a Phillips or flat-head screwdriver. Install the new 279393 screws and nuts into the terminal block. Reconnect the power cord wires to the correct terminals — refer to the label inside the terminal block cover or your dryer's wiring diagram to confirm wire positions. Tighten all screws firmly but do not overtighten. Replace the terminal block cover plate. Restore power and run a test cycle to verify correct operation. Tip: While the cover is off, inspect the terminal block itself (part 694431) for burn marks or damage. If the block is damaged, replace it before reinstalling. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, flat-head screwdriver, needle-nose pliers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the terminal block screw kit used for?
The terminal block screw kit secures the three wires of the dryer's power cord (two hots and a neutral, or two hots and a ground depending on cord type) to the terminal block at the back of the dryer. This is the point where 240V power enters the machine. The screws must be firmly tightened to maintain a safe, low-resistance electrical connection. If they loosen or corrode over time, resistance increases at the connection — causing heat, arcing, blown fuses, or power loss.
Can I also use this kit when installing a new dryer power cord?
Yes — this kit is commonly needed when installing a new 3-wire or 4-wire dryer power cord. When switching from a 3-wire to 4-wire cord (or vice versa), the terminal block screws and nuts often need to be loosened and retightened, and replacing them with a fresh set ensures a secure, corrosion-free connection from the start.
Should I also inspect the terminal block itself?
Yes. While the terminal block cover is off, inspect the block itself (part 694431) for burn marks, melted plastic, or damaged terminals. If the block shows any of these signs, it should be replaced before reinstalling — new screws alone cannot fix a damaged terminal block. Contact our support team to find the correct terminal block for your model.
Does this kit work for gas dryers?
No. Gas dryers use a standard 120V three-prong household plug and do not have a terminal block for power cord connections. The 279393 kit is for electric dryers only, which use a 240V outlet and require a hard-wired terminal block connection for the power cord.
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 made from chrome-plated metal to match the dimensions and electrical performance of the original 279393 screw kit.

Genuine OEM WP12028505AP Refrigerator Door Closer Cam
The Genuine OEM Whirlpool WP12028505AP is the gray door closer cam for select bottom-mount Whirlpool-built refrigerators, including Maytag, KitchenAid, Kenmore and Amana models. The closer cam installs at the hinge and helps the door close smoothly and seal tightly, keeping cold air in. When it cracks or wears out, the door may not close completely, may not stay closed, or may swing open.
This is the original Whirlpool part, not an aftermarket equivalent. Check your model number before ordering, as bottom-mount refrigerators use several different closer and hinge pieces.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug The Refrigerator And Wear Work Gloves Unplug the refrigerator before you begin, and wear work gloves. Access to the hinge may mean raising the leveling legs, removing the base grille, and rolling the unit out from the wall. Removing the door first is often easier. Keep your model's parts diagram handy, note how the old closer and hinge pieces fit together, and replace the closer in the same position. Reinstall the door, check that the refrigerator is level, and test that the door closes and seals.
Frequently Asked Questions
My refrigerator door won't close completely. Is this the part I need?
A cracked or worn door closer is a common cause. If the problem continues after replacing it, check the hinges and door stops, and make sure the refrigerator is level.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part from Whirlpool, not an aftermarket equivalent.
Do I also need a new hinge or other door pieces?
It depends on your model. Closers work together with hinge pieces, and some customers report needing a different or additional piece. Check your parts diagram, or contact our support team and we'll help you confirm what you need.
Will this fit my refrigerator?
It is listed for select bottom-mount Whirlpool-built refrigerators, but the model list above is only a sample. Check your full model number against your parts diagram, or contact our support team and we'll verify it before you order.
