17438200000404 Genuine OEM Midea Dryer Temperature Sensor (Thermistor)
The 17438200000404 is a Genuine OEM Midea replacement dryer temperature sensor (thermistor) compatible with an extensive range of Midea, Criterion, and Insignia electric and gas dryers. This NTC (negative temperature coefficient) thermistor continuously monitors air temperature inside the dryer and sends resistance-based readings to the control board, which uses this data to regulate heating element cycling, prevent overheating, and maintain consistent drying temperatures throughout the cycle. As the thermistor heats up, its electrical resistance decreases in a predictable way, allowing the control board to calculate the exact temperature in real time.
When this sensor fails — whether shorted, open, or providing drifted/inaccurate readings — the dryer may overheat, may not heat at all, may dry clothes unevenly, may take much longer than normal to complete a cycle, or may trigger a not-heating fault on models with digital displays. As a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Midea to factory specifications, the 17438200000404 directly replaces WF-123X2060 (an alternate catalog cross-reference used by some suppliers, including for compatible Maytag-branded Midea-built units). Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting (Shut Off Gas First on Gas Models) Disconnect power before beginning (and shut off the gas supply first if you have a gas dryer model). Midea dryers typically have 2–3 temperature sensors: an exhaust thermistor on the blower housing or exhaust duct, a drum thermistor inside the drum cavity, and on heat pump models, an evaporator thermistor — confirm which sensor location matches your symptom and part diagram before starting. Access the sensors by removing the back panel on vented models, or the side/bottom panels on heat pump models. Photograph the connector position before disconnecting. Unplug the old sensor's connector and inspect it for corrosion or heat discoloration on the wires — discoloration indicates prior overheating in that area. Remove the mounting clip or screw securing the old sensor and pull it free. Install the new 17438200000404 sensor in the same position, reseat the connector firmly, and secure the mounting hardware. Reassemble the panel, restore power, and run a test heat cycle to confirm normal temperature regulation. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, multimeter (for testing).
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I test if the temperature sensor (thermistor) has failed?
Unplug the dryer, disconnect the sensor's connector, and set your multimeter to resistance mode. At room temperature (around 70°F), a working NTC thermistor should read approximately 10,000 to 12,000 ohms. If the sensor reads 0 ohms, it has shorted internally. If it reads infinite resistance (open circuit, often shown as "OL" on the multimeter), the sensor has failed open. Either reading confirms the sensor needs replacement. If you have multiple sensors testing bad at the same time, check the shared ground wire — a broken ground connection can cause all sensors on that circuit to read as open even if the individual sensors are fine.
My Midea dryer has more than one temperature sensor — how do I know which one to replace?
Midea dryers typically use 2–3 temperature sensors depending on the model: an exhaust thermistor mounted on the blower housing or exhaust duct, a drum thermistor inside the drum cavity, and — on heat pump/ventless models — an evaporator thermistor in the refrigerant circuit area. The 17438200000404 is used across this Midea/Criterion/Insignia platform, but confirming the exact mounting location for your specific symptom (e.g., overheating vs. uneven drying) and model number before ordering will help ensure you're replacing the correct sensor.
What is the difference between 17438200000404 and WF-123X2060?
These are the same temperature sensor. WF-123X2060 is an alternate catalog cross-reference number used by some parts suppliers for the identical Midea-manufactured thermistor — it appears in listings for compatible Maytag-branded Midea-built units as well as the standard Midea, Criterion, and Insignia models. If your dryer's parts diagram shows either number, the 17438200000404 is the correct part.
Does this sensor fit my Insignia or Criterion dryer?
Yes — Insignia (Best Buy) and Criterion (Sears/Kmart) are house brands whose dryers in this size and configuration are manufactured by Midea and use the same internal components, including this temperature sensor. Confirmed compatible models include Insignia NSDRE67WH8A, NSFDRE67WH8A, NSFDRE77WH8B, NSTDRE67W1, NSTDRE75W1 (electric) and NSFDRG67WH8A, NSTDRG67W1, NSTDRG75W1 (gas), as well as Criterion CDE41N1AW (electric) and CDG41N1AW (gas). Always verify your specific model number before ordering.
Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Midea to factory specifications. It is the exact same NTC thermistor temperature sensor installed in compatible Midea, Criterion, and Insignia dryers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator and Move Perishable Food Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Unplug the refrigerator and safely store any food that could spoil while the power is off. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Depending on your refrigerator model, the fresh-food temperature sensor is typically located behind the air tower or damper assembly on the rear interior wall of the refrigerator compartment; the freezer temperature sensor is typically located behind the rear freezer access panel near the evaporator coils. Confirm which sensor location matches your symptom and the parts diagram for your specific model before starting. Remove all shelves, drawers, and any items blocking access to the sensor location. Remove the screws holding the air tower/damper cover (fresh food side) or rear freezer access panel to expose the sensor. Photograph the sensor position, wire routing, and connector before removing. Disconnect the wire connector (gently — the connector can be fragile) and release the sensor from its mounting clip. Fully insert the new 240597203 sensor probe into the card slot (no exposure) and secure with the mounting clip. Reconnect the wire connector — plug wiring terminals tightly to avoid poor contact. Use cable ties to secure any loose wire routing as before. Reinstall the cover or panel, replace the shelves and drawers, and plug the refrigerator back in. Allow several hours for the refrigerator to return to its set temperature before reloading with food. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, cable ties, multimeter (for testing), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does OP error code mean on my Frigidaire refrigerator?
The OP error code (Open) indicates the control board is detecting an open circuit on a temperature sensor input — meaning the sensor is failing to send a resistance signal, either because the sensor itself has failed open internally, the wire has broken, or the connector isn't seated. Replacing the temperature sensor typically resolves the code when the sensor itself is the cause. If the code persists after replacement, check the wire harness between the sensor and the control board for damage, and confirm the connector is fully seated. If the OP code appears alongside other symptoms like frost buildup and cooling issues that persist after sensor replacement, the defrost temperature sensor (on the Harness-Low Side, a different part number) may also need to be replaced, or the main control board may be at fault.
How do I test if the temperature sensor has failed?
Unplug the refrigerator, disconnect the sensor's wire connector, and set your multimeter to resistance mode. At room temperature (approximately 25°C / 77°F), a working NTC thermistor should read approximately 10K Ohms. If the sensor reads 0 ohms, it has shorted internally. If it reads infinite resistance (open circuit, often shown as "OL" on the multimeter), the sensor has failed open. If it reads significantly off from 10K (for example 8.4K or 5K at room temp), the sensor has drifted and is no longer providing accurate readings — replacement is recommended. Any of these results confirms the sensor needs replacement.
My refrigerator has multiple temperature sensors — which one do I replace?
Frigidaire refrigerators typically use multiple temperature sensors: one in the fresh food compartment (behind the air tower/damper), one in the freezer compartment (near the evaporator coils), and often a separate defrost temperature sensor on the Harness-Low Side. The 240597203 is used as the fresh food or freezer compartment temperature sensor. If your symptom is "fresh food too warm" or "freezer over-freezing," the fresh food sensor is the likely candidate. If your symptom is "freezer icing up despite defrost heater working," the defrost temperature sensor may be the culprit — a different part number. Check your refrigerator's parts diagram to confirm the correct sensor location for your specific symptom.
Does this sensor fit my Kenmore refrigerator?
On many Kenmore refrigerators, yes — Sears sells Kenmore-branded refrigerators that are manufactured by Frigidaire/Electrolux, Whirlpool, LG, and Samsung. The 240597203 sensor fits Kenmore refrigerators with model numbers beginning with the 253, 106, or 795 prefixes that are Frigidaire/Electrolux-built. Kenmore refrigerators built by other manufacturers (Whirlpool, LG, Samsung) use different sensors. Check the first three digits of your Kenmore model number — if it's 253, 106, or 795 and falls within the compatible model list, this is the correct 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 Frigidaire/Electrolux OEM part, but is manufactured to match the electrical specifications (10K Ohm NTC), probe dimensions (5/16" diameter x 1-3/16" length), wire length (12"), and connector configuration of the original 240597203 temperature sensor used in compatible refrigerators.

DA32-00029X Genuine OEM Samsung Refrigerator Temperature Sensor
The DA32-00029X is a Genuine OEM Samsung replacement refrigerator temperature sensor compatible with select Samsung side-by-side and French door refrigerators, as well as related Kenmore Samsung-built models. This NTC (negative temperature coefficient) thermistor continuously monitors the temperature inside the refrigerator and sends resistance-based readings to the electronic control board, which uses this data to cycle the compressor, fans, and defrost heaters to maintain accurate, consistent temperatures throughout the appliance. As the thermistor heats up or cools down, its electrical resistance changes predictably, allowing the control board to calculate the exact temperature in real time.
When this sensor fails — whether shorted, open, or providing drifted/inaccurate readings — the refrigerator may run too cold or too warm, cycle excessively, fail to maintain set temperatures, run continuously, ice up the evaporator, or display temperature-related fault codes. As a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Samsung to factory specifications, the DA32-00029X is rated approximately 13.2 kΩ at 20°C (68°F) when functioning correctly. It is one of the variants in the DA32-00029 sensor family — Samsung uses different production-run variants (M, N, Q, U, X) across model generations, all functionally similar but with different wire harness connectors. Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools.

Important — Match the Variant to Your Refrigerator: Samsung uses several variants of the DA32-00029 temperature sensor (M, N, Q, U, X) across different model generations. The sensors are similar in function and resistance value, but the wire harness connectors differ — using the wrong variant means the connector won't fit. Before ordering, verify your refrigerator's parts diagram specifies DA32-00029X (not DA32-00029M, N, Q, or U), or visually confirm the connector on your old sensor matches the new one. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator and Move Perishable Food Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Unplug the refrigerator and safely store any food that could spoil while the power is off. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Samsung refrigerators typically have multiple temperature sensors — fresh food compartment, freezer compartment, and evaporator/defrost sensors — confirm which sensor location matches your symptom and parts diagram before starting. The fresh food and freezer sensors are typically clipped to a wall or shelf bracket inside each compartment, while evaporator/defrost sensors are mounted near the evaporator coils behind a rear access panel. Take a photo of the sensor mounting and wire routing before removing. Disconnect the sensor's wire connector (gently — the molex connectors can be fragile) and release the sensor from its mounting clip. Inspect the connector for corrosion or heat discoloration on the wires — discoloration indicates prior overheating in that area. Install the new DA32-00029X sensor in the same position, reseat the connector firmly, and secure the mounting clip. Restore power, allow several hours for the refrigerator to return to its set temperature, and confirm stable temperature operation before reloading with food. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, multimeter (for testing), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if the temperature sensor has failed?
Unplug the refrigerator, disconnect the sensor's connector, and set your multimeter to resistance mode. At room temperature (around 20°C/68°F), a working NTC thermistor should read approximately 13.2 kΩ. If the sensor reads 0 ohms, it has shorted internally. If it reads infinite resistance (open circuit, often shown as "OL" on the multimeter), the sensor has failed open. Either reading confirms the sensor needs replacement. If the sensor reads close to 13.2 kΩ at room temperature but the refrigerator still has temperature problems, the control board or another sensor in the system may be the actual cause.
My Samsung refrigerator has multiple temperature sensors — which one do I replace?
Samsung refrigerators typically use multiple temperature sensors: one in the fresh food compartment, one in the freezer compartment, and one near the evaporator coils (often called the defrost sensor). The DA32-00029X is used as the fresh food or freezer compartment temperature sensor on select Samsung models. Confirm the exact mounting location for your specific symptom (e.g., fresh food too warm vs. freezer too cold) and your refrigerator's parts diagram before ordering. The evaporator/defrost sensor is typically a different part number, so don't assume the DA32-00029X covers all sensor positions.
What is the difference between DA32-00029X and DA32-00029M, N, Q, or U?
These are all variants of the same Samsung refrigerator temperature sensor family. They share the same NTC thermistor design and resistance characteristics (approximately 13.2 kΩ at 20°C), but use different wire harness connector configurations to match different refrigerator generations and wiring designs. The X variant is used on select Samsung side-by-side and French door models, while M, N, Q, and U variants appear on other model groups. They are not automatically interchangeable — match the variant to your refrigerator's exact part diagram, or visually compare connector styles before ordering.
My Samsung fridge is icing up the back wall — could this be the sensor?
Possibly, yes. If the temperature sensor near the evaporator (the defrost sensor) is misreporting temperature, the control board may not trigger the defrost cycle when needed, allowing ice to build up on the evaporator coils. Eventually this ice migrates to the rear interior wall as a frozen sheet. If your symptom is back-wall icing combined with poor cooling, the evaporator sensor is a likely cause — but confirm whether the DA32-00029X is the evaporator sensor on your specific model, or whether your model uses a different part number for that position. Always verify against your model's parts diagram.
Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Samsung to factory specifications. It is the exact same temperature sensor installed in compatible Samsung side-by-side and French door refrigerators (and Kenmore Samsung-built models) from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

XPARTCO WB13K21 Gas Oven Flat Igniter with Harness
The XPARTCO WB13K21 is an aftermarket replacement flat-style gas oven igniter with harness compatible with select GE, Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore gas ranges and ovens. The oven igniter is a silicon carbide heating element mounted inside the oven next to the burner. It serves a dual purpose: it draws electrical current through the oven safety valve to hold it open, and it heats to ignition temperature to light the gas burner. The igniter must draw sufficient current — typically 3.2–3.6 amps — to hold the safety valve fully open. A weakened igniter that draws too little current will glow but never fully open the gas valve, preventing the burner from lighting.
This flat-style igniter draws 3.4–3.6 amps at 115V. The ceramic block measures 1-1/2" L, with an overall bracket/cage measuring 3-3/4"L x 2-1/8"W x 13/16"H. The harness and plug extend approximately 7-7/8" from the igniter body with female pin connectors and a double wing mounting bracket. It can be used as a bake or broil igniter replacement on compatible models. It directly replaces WB13K21, WB13K12, WB13K13, WB13K14, WB13K0012, WB13K0013, WB13K0014, WB13K0021, WB13K10009, WB13K10026, IG21, 2494, AP2020569, AH231280, EA231280, EAP231280, PS231280, and PD00001023. Note: if the connector does not match your range's harness, cut the connector and splice the wires using porcelain wire nuts — do not use standard plastic wire nuts near the oven burner. Installs in 15–30 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WB13K21 Gas Oven Flat Igniter with Harness fixes GE, Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore gas ovens that won't heat, where the igniter glows but the burner never lights, or where preheat takes too long.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Gas Appliance Safety Warning This part is installed in a gas oven. Always unplug the range and shut off the gas supply at the shutoff valve before beginning any repair. If you smell gas at any point during or after installation, leave the area immediately and contact your gas utility provider. Do not restore power or gas until the repair is fully complete and all connections are secure. If you are not comfortable working on gas appliances, have this part installed by a qualified technician.
⚠️ Handle With Care — Fragile Igniter Element The silicon carbide igniter element is extremely fragile and sensitive to skin oils. Do not touch the igniter element with bare hands — oils from skin will create hot spots that prematurely burn the igniter. Handle only by the bracket, harness, and mounting wings. To install: unplug the range and shut off gas. Remove the oven racks and oven bottom panel. Disconnect the old igniter's wire connector at the connection point inside the oven. Remove the two screws securing the mounting bracket. If the new igniter's connector matches the harness, plug it in directly. If it does not match, cut the connector from the new igniter and use the included porcelain wire nuts to splice the wires to your range's existing harness — do not use plastic wire nuts. Mount the new igniter using the double wing bracket and two screws. Reinstall the oven bottom panel, restore gas and power, and run a bake cycle to confirm the igniter glows and the burner lights within 60–90 seconds. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, socket set, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My igniter glows but the burner never lights — is it the igniter?
Yes, almost certainly. A gas oven igniter that glows orange or red but does not light the burner is a classic sign of a weakened igniter. The igniter must draw enough electrical current — typically 3.2 amps or more — to hold the gas safety valve fully open. As the silicon carbide element ages, its resistance increases and it draws progressively less current. When the current drops below the threshold needed to hold the valve open, the valve never fully opens, even though the igniter appears to glow. If the igniter glows for more than 90 seconds without lighting the burner, it needs to be replaced.
Why can't I use plastic wire nuts to splice the igniter wires?
The igniter is located inside the oven cavity, directly adjacent to the gas burner, where temperatures during operation can easily exceed what standard plastic wire nuts are rated for. Plastic wire nuts can melt or deform at oven operating temperatures, potentially exposing bare wire connections and creating a short circuit or fire hazard. Porcelain wire nuts are specifically rated for high-temperature applications and are the only safe connector to use when splicing igniter wires near the oven burner. Always use porcelain — never plastic — for any wiring connection inside the oven cavity.
Can this igniter be used for both bake and broil?
Yes — on compatible GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore models, the WB13K21 can be used to replace both the bake igniter (lower burner) and the broil igniter (upper burner), as both igniters use the same part number and specifications on these models. Verify your range's parts diagram to confirm that both igniters use the WB13K21 before ordering for the broil position.
How do I test if the oven igniter has failed?
The most practical test is observation: if the igniter glows for more than 90 seconds without the burner lighting, it has weakened. You can also use a multimeter — disconnect the igniter wires and measure resistance. A working WB13K21-style igniter typically reads between 40 and 90 ohms at room temperature (a lower resistance draws more current; a very high resistance means the element is nearly failed). An open circuit (infinite resistance) means the element has burned through completely. If the igniter does not glow at all when the oven is turned on, it has completely failed electrically.
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 from silicon carbide, ceramic, metal, and plastic to match the amperage draw, dimensions, and performance of the original WB13K21 oven igniter.
