XPARTCO WE1M1002 Dryer Fuse, 30 AMP 120V The XPARTCO WE1M1002 is an aftermarket replacement power fuse for GE and Hotpoint dryers, commonly used on GE's commercial and stacked laundry center dryer models. This is a CCMR-class fuse — a current-limiting, fast-acting power fuse — and it plays a fundamentally different protective role than a thermal cut-off fuse. Rather than reacting to excess heat from restricted airflow, this fuse reacts to electrical faults: if the dryer experiences a short circuit or a current overload beyond what the wiring is rated to handle, this fuse opens the circuit immediately to prevent damage to the dryer's electrical components. Rated 30A, 120V, measuring approximately 3/8"H x 3/8"W x 1-1/2"D. Because this fuse protects against electrical faults rather than heat buildup, a blown WE1M1002 points toward a different diagnostic path than a thermal fuse would: rather than checking the exhaust venting, the more relevant checks are the dryer's wiring, connections, and any component that may have shorted internally. A blown fuse produces a complete loss of power to the dryer — no lights, no display, no response to any control. It directly replaces WE01M1002, 1974262, AP5270172, PS3496852, and EAP3496852. Quick Answer The XPARTCO WE1M1002 Dryer Fuse fixes GE and Hotpoint dryers, including commercial and stacked laundry center models, that have completely lost power — no lights, no display, no response to any control. CCMR-class, 30A, 120V. Replaces WE01M1002, 1974262, AP5270172, PS3496852, EAP3496852. This is a power/overcurrent fuse, not a thermal cut-off fuse — if it's blown, check the dryer's wiring and electrical connections for a short or fault rather than the exhaust venting.

Wear work gloves. Locate the fuse holder inside the dryer's electrical panel or control housing — access varies by model, so consult your unit's service diagram. Before removing the old fuse, visually inspect nearby wiring and connections for signs of a short, such as scorching, melted insulation, or a loose connection, since this fuse type responds to electrical faults rather than heat buildup from airflow issues. Test the old fuse with a multimeter to confirm it's open (no continuity) before assuming it needs replacement. Remove the old fuse from its holder and install the new WE1M1002 in the same position, making sure it seats fully and securely. Restore power and test the dryer to confirm normal operation. If the new fuse blows again shortly after installation, stop and have a qualified technician diagnose the underlying electrical fault before continuing, since repeatedly replacing this fuse without addressing the root cause can be a sign of a more serious wiring or component issue. Tools needed: fuse puller or needle-nose pliers, multimeter, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions How is this different from a thermal cut-off fuse? They protect against completely different problems. A thermal cut-off fuse reacts to excess heat, usually from restricted exhaust airflow, and its diagnosis typically starts with checking the venting. This WE1M1002 is a CCMR-class power fuse that reacts to electrical faults — a short circuit or current overload — and its diagnosis should focus on the dryer's wiring and electrical connections rather than the exhaust system. My dryer has completely no power at all. Is this the fuse? It's a strong possibility, especially if this occurred suddenly or followed any unusual electrical event. Since this fuse protects the dryer's power circuit broadly, a blown fuse can result in a total loss of power — no lights, no display, nothing. Test it with a multimeter for continuity before replacing to confirm. I replaced the fuse and it blew again right away. What should I do? This is a sign that the underlying electrical fault that blew the original fuse hasn't been addressed. Unlike a thermal fuse blowing from airflow restriction, a repeat blow on this type of fuse points to an ongoing short circuit or wiring problem elsewhere in the dryer. Stop and have a qualified technician trace and repair the fault rather than continuing to replace fuses, since the underlying issue could pose a safety risk if left unresolved. 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 electrical rating and fuse class of the original WE1M1002 power fuse used in compatible GE, Hotpoint, and RCA dryers.

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.

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.

AGM30045804 Genuine OEM LG Dryer Thermistor and Thermostat Kit The AGM30045804 is a genuine LG OEM high-limit thermostat and thermistor kit for LG dryers. These two components work together in the same temperature-regulation circuit: the thermistor is a temperature sensor, mounted in the blower housing with its wire harness included, that continuously reports drum temperature to the control board so it can fine-tune heat output throughout the cycle. The high-limit thermostat is a safety switch that automatically shuts off the heating element if temperatures climb past a safe threshold, then resets itself once the dryer cools, without needing to be replaced the way a thermal fuse does. Because these two parts share the same circuit and tend to wear or fail around a similar timeline, LG sells and services them together as one kit rather than as separate individual parts. Symptoms of failure in this circuit include the dryer overheating (which can scorch clothing or, left unaddressed, pose a fire risk), the dryer running with little or no heat, drying times that have become inconsistent, an error code related to temperature control on the display, or clothes coming out damp after a full cycle. It directly replaces 6931EL3003C, 6323EL2001B, 6931EL3003F, 6931EL3004B, AP7206815, EAP16732335, and PS16732335. Quick Answer The AGM30045804 Genuine OEM LG Dryer Thermistor and Thermostat Kit fixes LG (and select Kenmore, GE-branded LG-built) dryers with overheating, little or no heat, inconsistent drying times, a temperature-related error code, or clothes coming out damp after a full cycle. High-limit thermostat + thermistor with wire harness. Replaces 6931EL3003C, 6323EL2001B, 6931EL3003F, 6931EL3004B, AP7206815, EAP16732335, PS16732335. If you've already replaced the high-limit thermostat alone and the problem returns, this combined kit — which also addresses the thermistor — is the next step. What's In The Kit Component Function High-Limit Thermostat Automatically shuts off the heating element if temperature exceeds safe limits, then resets itself once the dryer cools. Thermistor (with wire harness) Continuously senses drum/blower housing temperature and reports it to the control board to regulate heat output throughout the cycle. Common Problems This Kit Fixes Dryer overheating, sometimes scorching or damaging clothing Dryer running with little or no heat Inconsistent drying times — cycle shuts off too early or runs longer than necessary Temperature-related error code displayed on the control panel Clothes remaining damp after a full drying cycle High-limit thermostat that keeps tripping repeatedly Dryer that has already had its high-limit thermostat replaced once but the problem returned Cross Reference Information Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models.

Key Features Genuine LG OEM part — factory-specified resistance values and switch thresholds Combined kit addresses the high-limit thermostat and thermistor together, since both share the same temperature-regulation circuit Resolves "overheating," "little or no heat," "inconsistent drying," and "damp clothes after a full cycle" symptoms Thermistor ships with its wire harness included High-limit thermostat resets automatically after tripping — no replacement needed after each trip Direct drop-in replacement for both original components Replaces 6931EL3003C, 6323EL2001B, 6931EL3003F, 6931EL3004B, AP7206815, EAP16732335, and PS16732335 Compatible with LG and select Kenmore and GE-branded LG-built dryers Genuine OEM replacement — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance Product Specifications Part Number AGM30045804 Part Type Dryer High-Limit Thermostat and Thermistor Kit Condition Genuine OEM Brand LG Kit Contents High-limit thermostat + thermistor with wire harness Thermistor Location Blower housing High-Limit Thermostat Type Automatically resetting Repair Difficulty Easy to Moderate — 30 to 60 minutes Compatible Brands LG, select Kenmore, GE (LG-built models) Installation Notes ⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Let It Cool Fully First Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning, and allow the dryer to cool completely if it was recently run. Wear work gloves. Access on many LG models follows this general sequence: remove the lint screen, then remove the two front panel screws underneath it, the two screws on the face of the panel, and the two screws holding the blower cover in place. Disconnect the door switch connector and remove the front panel. With the front open, release the drive belt from the tensioner and remove the drum to access the blower housing where the thermistor is located. Photograph the wiring connections before disconnecting anything, since the thermistor and high-limit thermostat can be easy to confuse with other similar-looking components nearby. Disconnect and remove the old thermistor and high-limit thermostat, noting their exact mounting positions. Install the new components from this kit in the same positions, reconnecting wiring exactly as photographed. Reinstall the drum, re-tension the belt over the tensioner, and reassemble the front panel, blower cover, and lint screen area in reverse order. Restore power and run a full test cycle to confirm normal, consistent heating with no premature shutoffs. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions I already replaced the high-limit thermostat, but it keeps tripping. Why would I need this kit instead? This is a well-documented pattern. If the thermistor — the sensor that reports temperature to the control board — is misreading heat, the control can keep driving the heating element past the point where the high-limit thermostat has to trip repeatedly to protect the dryer, even with a brand-new thermostat installed. Replacing the thermistor alongside the thermostat addresses the root cause rather than just the symptom, which is exactly why LG packages them together as one kit. What's the difference between the thermistor and the high-limit thermostat? The thermistor is a sensor, not a switch — it's a variable resistor whose resistance changes with temperature, and the control board reads that value continuously to regulate heat output throughout the cycle. The high-limit thermostat is a safety switch that does one job: it shuts off the heating element automatically if temperature exceeds a safe limit, then resets itself once things cool down. A failing thermistor causes inconsistent or inaccurate heat regulation; a failing high-limit thermostat causes the dryer to shut off unexpectedly or fail to protect against overheating. My parts diagram shows more thermostat-like parts than what's in this kit. Did I order the wrong thing? Not necessarily — some LG dryer models have additional related components, such as a separate blower thermostat, that are not part of this specific kit. This kit covers the high-limit thermostat and thermistor. If your repair calls for additional related parts, or if you're not sure exactly which components your model needs, contact our support team with your model number and we'll help you confirm the complete parts list before you order. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by LG to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It includes the same resistance values, switch threshold, and wire harness configuration as the high-limit thermostat and thermistor originally installed in your dryer.

WPW10545291 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Range / Oven Thermal Fuse The WPW10545291 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM thermal fuse mounted next to the heating source inside wall ovens, ranges, and microwave-oven combo units. This fuse is a one-time safety device: as long as the oven stays within its normal operating temperature, it does nothing at all, but the instant internal temperatures climb high enough — most often during a self-clean cycle, which runs far hotter than normal baking or roasting — the fuse permanently opens the circuit and cuts power. That's why a blown thermal fuse produces such a distinctive symptom: the oven loses power completely, sometimes with the door still electronically locked from the self-clean cycle that triggered the failure. Unlike a thermostat, this thermal fuse cannot be reset once it blows — it must be replaced. Because it's mounted directly behind the control panel on many wall oven models, replacing it typically means pulling the unit partway out from the wall and removing the control section to reach it, rather than a simple rear-panel swap. It directly replaces AP6022803, W10545291, 3021646, PS11756140, PS7783661, and W10436435. Quick Answer The WPW10545291 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Range / Oven Thermal Fuse fixes Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore wall ovens, ranges, and microwave-oven combos that lost power completely — often right after a self-clean cycle. Replaces AP6022803, W10545291, 3021646, PS11756140, PS7783661, W10436435. If the door is electronically locked and won't open, you may need to manually release the lock before you can access the oven for this repair — see the FAQ below. Common Problems This Part Fixes Oven has no power at all — no lights, no display, no response to any button Oven lost power suddenly, especially during or right after a self-clean cycle Oven door remains electronically locked with no power to release it Oven that stopped working after running unusually hot Control panel completely dark and unresponsive Continuity test shows an open circuit across the old fuse 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 range/oven thermal fuse directly replaces the following OEM and cross-reference part numbers: WPW10545291, W10545291, 3021646, W10436435, AP6022803, AWP50815, EAP11756140, PD00032820, PS11756140. If your part number is not listed above, contact our support team before ordering and we will verify compatibility. Compatibility This thermal fuse is compatible with select Whirlpool wall ovens, ranges, and microwave-oven combo units, and also fits select Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore appliances built on the Whirlpool platform, including model numbers such as WOD77EC7HS, WOD77EC0HV, and WOD51EC7AB02. Note: Whirlpool uses several different thermal fuses across its range/oven lineup, including separate fuse designs used in other model families. Always verify your full model number before ordering. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure. Key Features Genuine Whirlpool OEM part — factory-specified opening temperature and terminal configuration One-time safety device that cuts power if the oven overheats Resolves "no power at all," "lost power after self-clean," and "door locked with no power" symptoms caused by a blown fuse Mounts next to the heating source, typically behind the control panel Replaces AP6022803, W10545291, 3021646, PS11756140, PS7783661, and W10436435 Compatible with Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore wall ovens, ranges, and microwave-oven combos Genuine OEM replacement — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance Product Specifications Part Number WPW10545291 Part Type Range / Wall Oven Thermal Fuse Condition Genuine OEM Brand Whirlpool Application Wall Ovens, Ranges, Microwave-Oven Combo Units Location Next to the heating source, typically behind the control panel Resettable No — one-time use, must be replaced once blown Repair Difficulty Moderate to Hard — control panel disassembly required on many models Quantity 1 thermal fuse Compatible Brands Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, Kenmore Installation Notes ⚠️ Unplug Oven Or Shut Off Breaker Before Starting — Access Is Typically Behind The Control Panel Shut off the oven's power at the breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. If the door is electronically locked and won't open due to the power loss, you may need to manually release it first — see the FAQ below for a common workaround. Remove the oven's retaining screws and carefully pull the unit out from the wall a few inches to access the screws holding the control section in place. Remove the screws securing the control panel — typically four — and pull the control unit loose, letting the display ribbon cable stay connected while you rest the panel out of the way on top of the oven; avoid pulling it further than the ribbon allows. The thermal fuse is usually mounted right behind the control panel at this point. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting the old fuse's connectors. Pull the connectors off the old fuse and plug them onto the new WPW10545291 fuse in the same orientation. Reconnect the control panel's ground wire and ribbon cable, reinstall the control panel and its screws, and carefully push the oven back into the wall opening, securing it with its retaining screws. Restore power at the breaker and confirm the oven powers on normally and the door unlocks and operates correctly. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, power tester (helpful), work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions My oven lost all power right after a self-clean cycle. Is this the thermal fuse? Yes, this is one of the most common and well-documented triggers for this exact failure. Self-clean cycles run at extremely high temperatures compared to normal cooking, and if that heat exceeds what the thermal fuse is rated to tolerate, it blows to protect the oven — cutting all power in the process. A total loss of power during or shortly after a self-clean cycle is a strong sign this fuse is the cause. My oven door is locked and I have no power to release it. How do I get it open? This is a known complication when the thermal fuse blows during or after a self-clean cycle, since the door lock can remain engaged with no power available to release it electronically. One documented workaround: with the house power to the oven confirmed off, some owners have used a thin, flexible material (such as a bent paper clip or a flexible cutting board edge) worked carefully between the door and the lock mechanism to manually trip the lock open. This varies by model and takes patience — if you're not comfortable attempting it, a qualified appliance technician can open the door safely. Can I just reset the thermal fuse instead of replacing it? No. Unlike a thermostat, this thermal fuse is a one-time safety device — once it blows, its internal circuit is permanently broken and it cannot be reset or repaired. Replacement is the only option. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original opening temperature, terminal configuration, and mounting position of the thermal fuse originally installed in your oven, range, or microwave-oven combo.

XPARTCO 279838 Dryer Heating Element The XPARTCO 279838 is an aftermarket replacement heating element for Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, Roper, Estate, Crosley, Admiral, Inglis, KitchenAid, and Jenn-Air electric dryers. This element is the source of virtually all the heat in the dryer: current flows through a nickel-chromium coil, which glows and radiates heat as the blower pushes air across it and into the drum. This part is often nicknamed the "shorty" because of its compact size compared to the larger, older Whirlpool element it replaced, part number 4391960 — the shorty design is used on dryers with the lint filter positioned on the top right near the control housing. Over years of use, the coil typically fails with a visible break somewhere along its length — a section simply burns through and the circuit opens, cutting off heat entirely. A quick way to check: a healthy element reads approximately 9 to 10 ohms across its terminals with a multimeter; a reading of no resistance (open circuit) confirms the element has failed. This element shares the same dryer platform as our WP3392519 thermal fuse and works alongside a cycling thermostat and high-limit thermostat in the same heating circuit — all commonly checked or replaced together when a dryer stops heating. It directly replaces 279837, WP279837, 2438, 279838VP, 279838A, 3398063, 3398064, 3403585, 8565582, W10724237, AP3094254, AH334313, EA334313, PS334313, and PS3343130. Quick Answer The XPARTCO 279838 Dryer Heating Element fixes Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, Roper, Estate, Crosley, Admiral, Inglis, KitchenAid, and Jenn-Air electric dryers with no heat, insufficient heat, or drying times that have gotten noticeably longer. Also called the "shorty" element. Replaces 279837, WP279837, 2438, 279838VP, 279838A, 3398063, 3398064, 3403585, 8565582, W10724237, AP3094254, AH334313, EA334313, PS334313, PS3343130. A healthy element reads approximately 9-10 ohms with a multimeter; if the dryer has no heat at all, also check the thermal fuse (such as our WP3392519 listing) before assuming the element is at fault — a blown fuse produces the identical symptom. Common Problems This Part Fixes Dryer runs a full cycle but produces no heat at all Dryer produces some heat, but not enough to dry clothes properly Drying times that have gotten noticeably longer than they used to Clothes coming out cold or barely warm at the end of a cycle Visible break or burned-through section in the heating coil Element that reads no resistance (open circuit) on a multimeter continuity or ohms test Dryer that heats inconsistently, cycling on and off unexpectedly Cross Reference Information Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models.

It is a compact "shorty" design and is not the same element as the larger, older 4391960 used on earlier Whirlpool dryers. Always verify your full model number before ordering. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure. Key Features Aftermarket replacement heating element — generates the heat that dries clothes Resolves "no heat," "insufficient heat," and "drying takes too long" symptoms caused by a burned-through coil Nickel-chromium coil for effective, heat-and-abrasion-resistant heating Compact "shorty" design for dryers with the lint filter near the control housing Direct drop-in replacement — no modification required Replaces 279837, WP279837, 2438, 279838VP, 279838A, 3398063, 3398064, 3403585, 8565582, W10724237, AP3094254, AH334313, EA334313, PS334313, and PS3343130 Compatible with Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, Roper, Estate, Crosley, Admiral, Inglis, KitchenAid, and Jenn-Air electric dryers Aftermarket replacement built to OEM-equivalent quality standards Product Specifications Part Number XP279838 OEM Part Number 279838 Part Type Dryer Heating Element Assembly ("Shorty") Condition Aftermarket Replacement Coil Material Nickel-chromium Typical Resistance (Healthy Element) Approx. 9-10 ohms Legacy Predecessor 4391960 (larger, older design, not interchangeable) Related Components Cycling thermostat, high-limit thermostat, thermal fuse (see our WP3392519 listing) Repair Difficulty Medium — basic electrical skills and dryer panel disassembly required Quantity 1 heating element assembly Compatible Brands Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, Roper, Estate, Crosley, Admiral, Inglis, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air Installation Notes ⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Test Resistance Before Assuming It's The Element Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Access is typically through the rear panel or the front, depending on your model, to reach the heater duct/blower housing area where the element is mounted. Before removing anything, inspect the old element visually for a break in the coil — sometimes you can see it directly, or feel it by gently wiggling each section of the coil. If nothing is visibly broken, test with a multimeter: place one probe on each terminal and look for a reading of approximately 9-10 ohms on a good element; no resistance at all confirms the element has failed. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the wire terminals from the old element, remove the mounting screws or clips holding it in the duct housing, and pull it free. Install the new 279838 assembly in the same position, reconnect the wire terminals, and secure the mounting hardware — if the original connection wire shows burning or damage, replace it as well rather than reusing a damaged connector. Reassemble the panel, restore power, and run a test cycle to confirm the dryer is heating normally. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, 5/16" wrench, Phillips screwdriver, multimeter, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions How do I test whether the element is actually bad? Start with a visual inspection — often you can see a break directly in the coil, or find it by gently wiggling each section to check for a loose or separated point. If nothing is visible, use a multimeter set to ohms and place one probe on each terminal. A good element typically reads approximately 9 to 10 ohms; a reading of no resistance at all (open circuit) confirms the element has failed and needs replacing. My dryer has no heat at all. Should I replace the element first, or check something else? Check the thermal fuse first, since a blown fuse produces the exact same "no heat at all" symptom as a failed heating element and is a cheaper, faster part to test and replace — our WP3392519 listing covers the thermal fuse used on this same dryer platform. If the fuse tests good and the dryer still has no heat, the element itself is the next thing to test. What's the difference between this "shorty" element and the older 4391960? Both are Whirlpool dryer heating elements, but this 279838 is a more compact design used on dryers with the lint filter positioned on the top right near the control housing, while 4391960 is the larger, older element used on earlier Whirlpool dryer platforms. They are not interchangeable, so confirm which style your dryer uses — checking your model number or comparing the physical size of your old element — before ordering. Should I check the connection wire while I'm replacing the element? Yes, it's worth a look. The wire connecting to the element terminals can occasionally show burning or damage if the element was arcing or overheating before it failed. If you notice any discoloration, melting, or damage on the connection wire, replace it along with the element rather than reusing a compromised connector. 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 nickel-chromium coil composition, resistance rating, compact "shorty" form factor, and terminal configuration of the original 279838 heating element used in compatible Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, Roper, and related dryers.

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 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 dryer high-limit thermostat directly replaces the following OEM and cross-reference part numbers: DC47-00018A, AP4201898, T-O-D 60T11, ASM33627, 1122485, PD00002011, PS4205217.

Compatibility This high-limit thermostat is compatible with select Samsung electric dryers, and also fits select Kenmore dryers built on the Samsung platform, including model numbers such as: DV5471AEW/XAA DV40J3000EW/A2, DV42H5000EW/A3, DV45H7000EW/A2, DV48H7400EW/A2 DV400EWHDWR/AA DVE50M7450W/A3 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. Key Features Aftermarket replacement cycling high-limit thermostat — automatically resetting, no replacement needed after each trip Opens at approximately 260°F, resets around 210°F Resolves "no heat," "insufficient heat," "takes too long to dry," and "shuts off too soon" symptoms Genuine thermostat, distinct from the downstream thermal fuse in the same circuit No special tools required for installation Replaces 35001092, WP35001092, 1122485, AP4201898, PS4205217, EAP2430930, PS2430930, and AP6008682 Compatible with Samsung and select Kenmore electric dryers Aftermarket replacement built to OEM-equivalent quality standards Product Specifications Part Number XPDC47-00018A OEM Part Number DC47-00018A Part Type Dryer Cycling High-Limit Thermostat Condition Aftermarket Replacement Type Automatically resetting — not a one-time fuse Open Temperature ~260°F Reset Temperature ~210°F Related Component DC96-00887C thermal fuse (blower housing, different device, sold separately) Quantity 1 high-limit thermostat Compatible Brands Samsung, select Kenmore 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.

XPARTCO WE4M137 Dryer High Limit Thermostat The XPARTCO WE4M137 is an aftermarket replacement high limit thermostat for GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore dryers. Mounted on the upper right side of the heater housing, this safety thermostat monitors the temperature of the heating circuit and cuts power to the heating element (and in some conditions the motor) if the dryer runs hotter than it should — typically from restricted airflow, a clogged vent, or a failing cycling thermostat. Unlike a one-time thermal fuse, this is an auto-resetting high limit thermostat (rated L315-65F): it opens at approximately 315°F to stop overheating, then automatically closes again once the unit cools down, without needing to be replaced after each trip. This is a direct-fit aftermarket replacement built to the same temperature rating and mounting as the original thermostat. If this component trips repeatedly, it's worth checking the underlying cause of the overheating at the same time — a clogged lint trap or restricted exhaust vent is the most common root cause. Quick Answer The XPARTCO WE4M137 High Limit Thermostat fixes a GE, Hotpoint, or Kenmore dryer that shuts off a few minutes into a heat cycle, stops early and won't restart until it cools down, or cycles on and off intermittently. Auto-resetting, rated to open at approximately 315°F. Classic symptom: dryer runs fine for a few minutes then quits on heat, and won't restart again until it's had time to cool. Common Problems This Part Fixes Dryer shuts off a few minutes into a heat-dry cycle Dryer stops early and won't restart until it cools down Intermittent shutdowns during the drying cycle Clothes coming out damp because the cycle keeps cutting short Dryer won't start at all if the thermostat has failed in an open position Cross Reference Information Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models.

Key Features Direct-fit aftermarket high limit thermostat for GE-built dryers Auto-resetting design — no need to replace after each trip, unlike a one-time thermal fuse Rated to open at approximately 315°F to prevent overheating damage Resolves early-shutoff, won't-restart-until-cool, and intermittent cycling symptoms Fits 28+ GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore dryer and washer-dryer combo models Straightforward swap — typically 15–30 minutes with basic hand tools Product Specifications Part Number XPWE4M137 OEM Part Number WE4M137 Part Type Dryer High Limit Thermostat (Auto-Reset) Condition Aftermarket Replacement Temperature Rating L315-65F (Opens ~315°F, Auto-Resets on Cooling) Location Upper Right Side of Heater Housing Application GE, Hotpoint & Kenmore Dryers Installation Notes ⚠️ Unplug Power Before Installing Unplug the dryer or switch off its circuit breaker before beginning. Remove the dryer's rear or front panel per your model's service guide to access the heater housing — the thermostat is mounted on its upper right side. Disconnect the wire terminals from the old thermostat, noting their positions, and remove the mounting screw holding it in place. Install the new thermostat in the same position and reconnect the wire terminals. Before closing the dryer back up, clean out the lint trap and check the exhaust vent for restrictions — a clogged vent is the most common cause of this thermostat tripping repeatedly, and clearing it now can prevent a repeat failure. Frequently Asked Questions My dryer shuts off a few minutes into the cycle and won't restart — is this the part I need? Yes, this is a classic symptom of a failing high limit thermostat. It's designed to cut power when the dryer overheats and automatically reset once things cool down, so if your dryer won't restart until it's had time to sit, this thermostat is a likely cause. Is this a one-time fuse like the thermal fuse, or does it reset itself? This is an auto-resetting thermostat, not a one-time thermal fuse. It opens to cut power when the dryer overheats, then closes again automatically once the unit cools — it doesn't need to be replaced every time it trips. If yours has failed and won't reset or close again, that's when replacement is needed. Why does my dryer keep tripping this thermostat? Repeated tripping is usually caused by restricted airflow — a clogged lint trap, a crushed or blocked exhaust duct, or a bird's nest or lint buildup in the outside vent hood — or a failed cycling thermostat elsewhere in the heating circuit. Clear the airflow path when you replace this thermostat, or the new one may trip again. How do I test if this thermostat has failed? With the dryer unplugged, you can test the thermostat with a multimeter for continuity across its terminals at room temperature. No continuity when it should be closed (cool) is a sign it has failed and needs replacement.
