17438000001584 Genuine OEM Midea Dryer Belt Safety Switch
The 17438000001584 is a Genuine OEM Midea replacement belt safety switch compatible with select Midea, Criterion, and Insignia electric and gas dryers. This safety switch is positioned near the drive belt and tensioner pulley assembly, where it monitors belt-related conditions and interrupts electrical flow to the motor or heating circuit if a fault or unsafe condition is detected — such as a broken or severely slipped drive belt. This is a key safety mechanism: if the belt fails and the drum can no longer be safely driven, this switch helps prevent the motor from continuing to run unsafely or the heater from continuing to operate without normal airflow from drum rotation.
When this switch fails, the dryer may not start, may shut off unexpectedly during operation, or may fail to heat even though other components test correctly. As a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Midea to factory specifications, the 17438000001584 measures 2"L x 2"W x 3"H and weighs approximately 1 oz. It is found on the same parts diagram as the drive belt, tensioner pulley assembly, and drum support components on compatible models. Installs in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting (Shut Off Gas First on Gas Models) — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power before beginning (and shut off the gas supply first if you have a gas dryer model). Wear work gloves — there are sharp metal edges inside the dryer cabinet. Remove the lint filter housing screws, release the top panel locking clips with a putty knife, and lift the top panel. Remove the front panel to access the drum, drive belt, and tensioner pulley assembly. Locate the belt safety switch in this area — refer to your model's parts diagram to confirm its exact mounting position, as it is positioned near the belt and tensioner pulley support. Photograph the wire connections before disconnecting. Disconnect the wires from the old switch, remove the mounting screw or clip, and pull the switch free. Install the new 17438000001584 switch in the same position, secure the mounting hardware, and reconnect the wires. While this area is open, it's a good time to inspect the drive belt and tensioner pulley for wear, since this switch is related to belt operation. Reassemble the front panel and top panel in reverse order. Restore gas and power, and run a test cycle to confirm the dryer starts and runs normally. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the belt safety switch do?
The belt safety switch monitors belt-related conditions near the drive belt and tensioner pulley assembly and interrupts electrical flow to the motor or heating circuit if it detects a fault or unsafe condition — such as a broken or badly slipped drive belt. This is a protective measure: if the belt has failed and the drum can no longer be driven normally, the switch helps prevent continued unsafe operation of the motor or heater. It works alongside other safety components in the dryer (like the door/cover switch and thermal limiters) as part of an overall safety system.
My dryer just had a belt replacement and now isn't working right — could this switch be involved?
It's possible. Since this switch is positioned near the belt and tensioner pulley assembly, it can be disturbed, dislodged, or its connector improperly reseated during a belt replacement. If your dryer is behaving erratically after a recent belt repair — failing to start, shutting off, or not heating — check that this switch's connector is fully seated and that the switch itself wasn't damaged during the repair. If the connector is good and the switch tests as an open circuit with a multimeter, it has failed and needs replacement.
How do I test if this safety switch has failed?
Unplug the dryer, disconnect the switch's wire connector, and set your multimeter to continuity mode. With the belt and tensioner mechanism in their normal operating position, the switch should show closed continuity (allowing current to flow). If the switch shows an open circuit when it should be closed, it has failed and needs replacement. Always refer to your specific model's wiring diagram to confirm the expected switch state, since exact behavior can vary by dryer model.
Does this switch fit Insignia and Criterion dryers as well as Midea?
Yes — Insignia (Best Buy) and Criterion (Sears/Kmart) are house brands whose dryers in certain configurations are manufactured by Midea and use the same internal components, including this belt safety switch. Confirmed Criterion models include the CDG41N1AW and CDG45N1AW gas dryers. Always verify your specific model number before ordering to confirm compatibility.
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 belt safety switch installed in compatible Midea, Criterion, and Insignia dryers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

XPARTCO 691366 Dryer Idler Pulley Assembly Replaces WP691366
The XPARTCO 691366 is an aftermarket replacement dryer idler pulley assembly compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool-family dryers — particularly models with the lint filter on top — including Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, Roper, Crosley, Estate, Inglis, Admiral, Magic Chef, and Norge. The idler pulley assembly is a spring-tensioned arm and wheel that presses against the drum drive belt to maintain correct belt tension as it wraps around the drum and motor pulley. Without proper tension, the belt slips off the motor pulley, causing the drum to stop spinning. A worn idler pulley bearing also causes squealing, squeaking, or thumping noises during operation.
This is a complete idler arm and pulley assembly — it includes both the spring arm and the wheel, and mounts directly to the existing bracket in the dryer. Overall dimensions are 6"L x 1-5/8"W x 3-7/8"H with a 1-7/8" diameter pulley wheel. It replaces older Teflon friction-style idler pulleys and provides a smoother, longer-lasting ball-bearing wheel. It directly replaces WP691366, 691366, 239477, 337116, 337407, 3394332, 347034, 347226, 4319391, 688166, W10612905, AP6010582, PS11743765, and over 20 additional cross-reference numbers. Often replaced together with the drum belt (341241) and drum support rollers (349241T) as the 4392065 maintenance kit. Installs in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools.

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.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Microwave Before Starting Unplug the microwave before beginning this repair. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Locate the mounting screws or tabs securing the old vent grille in place, typically along the top or front edge of the unit depending on your model. Support the grille as you remove the mounting hardware, since a partially broken grille can shift or fall once released. Remove the old grille fully. Position the new W10245218 in the same location, aligning it with the mounting points, and secure it with the original screws or clips, taking care not to overtighten and crack the new plastic mounting tabs. Restore power and confirm the grille sits flush and securely in place with no gaps affecting the ventilation airflow. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My vent grille is cracked and hanging loose. What caused this?
This is a common failure mode, often caused by someone accidentally pulling, leaning on, or bumping the grille — enough force can crack the plastic screw mounting tabs, leaving the grille hanging or detached even though the rest of the microwave is unaffected. One customer described exactly this scenario: a guest accidentally pulled on the top grille vent, cracking the plastic screw tap and leaving it hanging.
How do I know I'm ordering the right color and part number?
Whirlpool sells several vent grilles that look very similar across different models, in both black and white finishes. This W10245218 is specifically the black-finish version. Compare your old grille's color and check your full model number against the compatibility list, or check the part number printed on your old grille if it's visible, before ordering.
Do I need any special tools to replace this grille?
No, this is a straightforward repair with basic hand tools — typically just a Phillips screwdriver to remove and reinstall the mounting screws or clips holding the grille in place.
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 black finish and mounting configuration of the vent grille originally installed on your microwave.

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

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

XPARTCO 6931EL3001F Dryer Hi-Limit Thermostat
The XPARTCO 6931EL3001F is an aftermarket replacement dryer rear hi-limit heater thermostat compatible with select LG and Kenmore electric and gas dryers. The hi-limit thermostat is a safety switch mounted on the heater housing that monitors the temperature at the heating element. If the heater temperature exceeds the safe operating limit, the thermostat opens its contacts to cut power to the heating element, protecting the dryer and its contents from overheating. When cooled, the thermostat resets automatically — but if it fails internally, it may remain open permanently, causing the dryer to produce no heat despite the thermal fuse and other components being intact.
Rated L125-31C, 250V, 25A, this 3-terminal thermostat measures 2"L x 1-3/4"W x 1-1/4"H with approximately 1-5/8" between mounting holes (center to center). It is constructed from metal and plastic in gray/black and mounts directly on the heater housing. It directly replaces 1377779, AP5072172, AH3530482, EA3530482, EAP3530482, PS3530482, and PD00023316. Often replaced together with the 6931EL3003D thermal fuse — both mount on the heater housing and work as a system to protect the dryer from overheating. Installs in 15–20 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer and Shut Off Gas Before Starting Disconnect power (and shut off gas for gas dryers) before beginning. Remove the back panel of the dryer by unscrewing the perimeter screws to access the heater housing. The 6931EL3001F thermostat is mounted on the heater housing — it is the 3-terminal component with gray/black housing. Before removing it, test it with a multimeter: disconnect the wires and probe the terminals. At room temperature a working thermostat shows closed continuity. An open reading confirms failure. Photograph the 3-wire connections before disconnecting — reconnecting in the correct positions is important. Remove the 2 mounting screws and lift the old thermostat off. Install the new thermostat in the same position with the 2 mounting screws and reconnect the wires in the same positions. While the heater housing is accessible, also test and replace the 6931EL3003D thermal fuse if needed. Reinstall the back panel, restore power, and run a test heat cycle. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, multimeter.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the 6931EL3001F thermostat and the 6931EL3003D thermal fuse?
Both are mounted on the heater housing and protect the dryer from overheating, but they work differently. The 6931EL3001F is a resettable hi-limit thermostat rated L125-31C — it opens when the heater temperature gets too high and resets automatically when cooled. The 6931EL3003D is a one-time thermal fuse that permanently interrupts the circuit if the temperature exceeds its rated limit — once blown, it cannot reset and must be replaced. Both should show closed continuity at room temperature when working. Because both are on the heater housing and experience the same thermal stress, replacing both at the same time is recommended.
How do I test the 6931EL3001F thermostat with a multimeter?
Unplug the dryer and disconnect all three wires from the thermostat terminals. Set your multimeter to continuity or resistance mode. At room temperature, a working 6931EL3001F thermostat should show closed continuity (near-zero resistance) across its contacts. If your multimeter reads open circuit (no continuity / OL), the thermostat has failed and needs replacement. Since this thermostat auto-resets when cooled, always test at room temperature — testing while the dryer is still warm may give a false open reading if the thermostat has legitimately opened due to heat.
My LG dryer has no heat but the thermal fuse is good — could it be the thermostat?
Yes — when the thermal fuse tests good but there is still no heat, the hi-limit thermostat (6931EL3001F) is the next most common culprit. A thermostat that has failed internally may remain permanently open even at room temperature, cutting power to the heating element exactly as a blown thermal fuse would. Test the thermostat with a multimeter for continuity. Also check the cycling thermostat (6931EL3002M) and the thermistor (6323EL2001B) — all three are part of the LG dryer thermal control system and any one of them can cause a no-heat condition.
What does the "L125-31C" rating mean?
The L125-31C rating describes the thermostat's operating parameters. L125 means the thermostat opens (trips) when the temperature reaches approximately 125°C (257°F). The 31 indicates the reset differential — the thermostat resets when the temperature drops approximately 31°C below the trip point, around 94°C (201°F). This rating ensures the thermostat allows the heater to operate at normal drying temperatures while protecting against dangerous overheating.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine LG OEM part, but is manufactured from metal and plastic to match the L125-31C rating, dimensions, and 3-terminal configuration of the original 6931EL3001F hi-limit heater thermostat.

12638000004021 Genuine OEM Midea Dryer Drum Roller
The 12638000004021 is a genuine Midea OEM dryer drum support roller, sold under the Frigidaire/Midea manufacturing relationship for Midea-built dryers and select Frigidaire, Insignia, and Kenmore dryers using this same platform. This roller sits underneath the drum, along its rear support track, and does the physical work of holding the drum's weight while letting it turn freely as the belt drives it around. A dryer typically uses more than one of these rollers working together to keep the drum properly supported and centered.
Over time, the wheel and bearing inside the roller wear down from the constant heat and rotation the dryer subjects them to, eventually developing a flat spot, seizing up, or simply wearing thin enough that the drum sits unevenly. A worn roller produces a distinctive symptom: a rumbling, squeaking, or thumping noise that rises and falls with drum rotation, often getting louder as a load tumbles. It directly replaces 5304511415, AP7990985.
Quick Answer

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. On a gas model, also close the gas shutoff valve before moving the cabinet. Wear work gloves — sheet metal edges inside the cabinet are sharp. Access is typically through the rear panel: remove the screws securing the panel, then release the drum belt from the idler pulley to relieve tension so the drum can be supported and moved slightly for access to the rollers underneath. Photograph the roller and axle positions before removing anything. Remove the retaining clip or fastener holding the worn roller's axle in place, then slide the old roller off. Install the new 12638000004021 roller onto the axle in the same orientation, and secure it with the retaining clip or fastener. While you're in there, check the other rollers by spinning each one by hand — if any feel stiff, gritty, or worn, replace them at the same time, since they're typically the same age and wear on a similar schedule. Re-tension the belt around the idler pulley, reassemble the rear panel, restore power, and run a short empty cycle to confirm the noise has resolved. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, pliers, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer makes a rumbling noise that gets louder over time. Is this the part I need?
Yes, this is the classic symptom of a worn drum roller. As the wheel and bearing wear down, the noise typically starts subtle and gradually worsens, often becoming most noticeable with a full load as the extra weight puts more load on the worn wheel. If the noise rises and falls in rhythm with the drum turning, a roller is the most likely cause.
Should I replace just one roller, or all of them?
It's worth checking all of them while you have access. Dryers typically use more than one roller supporting the drum, and since they're the same age and under the same stress, if one has worn out the others are often not far behind. Spin each roller by hand — if any feel stiff, gritty, or rough, replace them together to avoid repeating this repair again soon.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Midea to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original wheel design, bearing, and axle fitment of the drum roller originally installed in your dryer.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Turn Off Power at Breaker Before Starting — This Is a 240V Oven Circuit — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power at the household breaker before beginning — this is a 240V circuit and there is a serious risk of electrical shock if power is not fully disconnected. Verify power is off with a voltage tester before touching any wiring. Wear work gloves and safety glasses. Allow the oven to cool completely before beginning (several hours after any recent cooking). The high limit thermostat is typically mounted on the rear or side of the oven cavity, accessed by removing the back panel of the appliance (for freestanding ranges) or the front trim/service panel (for wall ovens). The exact location varies by model — consult your appliance's service diagram before starting. Photograph all wire connections and mounting details before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the wire terminals from the old thermostat (typically two spade-terminal wires). Remove the mounting screws or clips holding the thermostat to the oven cavity, and lift it out. Install the new 4449751 in the exact same position and orientation — the thermostat must be in good thermal contact with the oven cavity to function correctly. Secure the mounting hardware and reconnect the wires to their correct terminals. Reinstall the access panels. Restore power at the breaker and test the oven — start with a low-temperature bake cycle to confirm normal heating operation before running a high-temperature or self-clean cycle. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, voltage tester (essential), work gloves, safety glasses.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did my high limit thermostat trip in the first place?
A high limit thermostat trips because the oven exceeded its safe operating temperature — meaning something upstream in the temperature control chain failed to shut off the heating element when it should have. Common causes are: a failed oven control board (relay stuck closed), a failed cooling fan (allowing the oven cavity or electronics to overheat), blocked or restricted ventilation, poor door sealing (letting the cavity overheat), disrupted air circulation, or an abnormal self-cleaning cycle. Before installing the new thermostat, investigate and address the underlying cause — otherwise the new thermostat will trip again in short order. Also inspect the ventilation, oven door gasket, and cooling fan while you have the appliance open.
What's the difference between a high limit thermostat and the operating thermostat?
These are two different components serving two different roles. The operating thermostat (or the oven control board with its temperature sensor) is the primary component that maintains the oven at your set temperature by cycling the heating element on and off during normal operation — it opens and closes at your selected temperature (e.g., 350°F). The high limit thermostat (WP4449751) is a backup safety device that only trips when the oven temperature far exceeds normal operation (335°F over the cavity's safe threshold), typically because the operating thermostat or control has failed. If the high limit thermostat trips, both need to be checked — the operating thermostat may also need replacement.
Does the high limit thermostat reset itself, or does it need to be replaced after tripping?
The WP4449751 is an auto-reset thermostat — it closes automatically once the oven cools back to a safe temperature, allowing normal operation to resume. If your oven is heating normally again after cooling, the thermostat is likely still functional (the underlying overheating cause needs investigation). However, if the thermostat has failed permanently open — often the result of repeated overheat events or age — it will need replacement. Test with a multimeter set to continuity: a working thermostat shows continuity at room temperature. If it reads open (infinite resistance) when cold, it has failed and needs replacement.
Why does my self-cleaning cycle leave the oven door locked and the oven won't heat?
This is a classic symptom of a high limit thermostat that tripped during the self-clean cycle. Self-cleaning cycles run at extreme temperatures (800–1000°F) and stress every component in the oven — if the ventilation, door gasket, or cooling fan can't keep up, the high limit thermostat will trip open. Once tripped, the oven can't heat OR unlock the self-clean door lock mechanism, leaving the door stuck closed. Once the thermostat cools and closes (or is replaced), the door lock releases and normal operation resumes. If self-clean cycles routinely trip the thermostat, investigate whether the ventilation, cooling fan, or door gasket are causing the problem.
Can I do this repair myself, or should I hire a technician?
Replacing an oven high limit thermostat is a manageable DIY repair for someone comfortable with mechanical work and electrical connections, but this is a 240V circuit and the thermostat is a safety component — any error can create a serious safety risk. If you have experience with appliance repair, follow the safety precautions carefully (breaker off, voltage tester, correct thermostat orientation), and can confirm the wiring connections are secure, this is a feasible DIY. If you've never worked with 240V appliance circuits before, hiring a qualified appliance technician is the safer option. Also identify and address whatever caused the original overheat event — otherwise the new thermostat will trip again.
Is this a Genuine 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 trip temperature (335°F / 170°C), auto-reset function, terminal configuration, and fit of the original WP4449751 high limit thermostat used in compatible Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, and Kenmore ovens.

XPARTCO DC97-15459G Washer Water Valve
The XPARTCO DC97-15459G is an aftermarket replacement water inlet valve assembly compatible with a wide range of Samsung top-load washers. This valve mounts at the rear of the washer and controls the flow of water into the drum, opening electronically when the control board calls for a fill and closing once the target water level is reached. It connects via five terminal connections to the wiring harness and to the hot/cold supply hoses.
When this valve fails, the washer commonly won't fill with water, fills very slowly, overfills, or continues to trickle water even when powered off — the last of which points to a valve that isn't sealing properly rather than an electrical fault. It directly replaces DC97-15459G, 3276197, AP5623056, ASM1220342, EAP4220861, PD00007887, PS4220861. Sold individually; does not include wire harness or mounting screws.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Shut Off Water Supply and Unplug Washer Before Starting Turn off both the hot and cold water supply valves and disconnect power to the washer before beginning. Pull the washer away from the wall for access to the rear panel. Disconnect the hot and cold water supply hoses from the old valve — have a towel ready to catch residual water. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting, then unplug the wire harness connectors from the old valve. Remove the mounting screws holding the valve to the cabinet and remove the old valve. Install the new DC97-15459G valve in the same position using your existing mounting screws (not included with this part) and reconnect the wire harness, matching your photos. Reconnect the hot and cold supply hoses, making sure they're threaded onto the correct ports. Turn the water supply back on and check for leaks at the hose connections before restoring power. Run a test cycle to confirm the washer fills correctly and doesn't leak. Tools needed: adjustable pliers or channel locks (for hose connections), Phillips and flat-head screwdrivers.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer trickles water into the drum even when it's unplugged — is this the part?
Yes, this is a classic symptom of a water inlet valve that isn't sealing properly. Since the valve is the only thing standing between your home's pressurized water supply and the drum, a valve that won't fully close will let water trickle through even with zero power to the washer. This is different from an electrical fill problem, which typically shows up as the washer not filling at all rather than filling when it shouldn't.
Does this include the wire harness and mounting screws?
No — this valve is sold individually. You'll reuse your existing wire harness connector and mounting screws from the old valve during installation.
Will this fit my Kenmore washer?
This valve fits select Kenmore washers that were built by Samsung and share this platform's water valve design. Confirm your appliance model number before ordering, since not all Kenmore washers use this valve.
Do I need to shut off the water supply to replace this?
Yes — always shut off both the hot and cold water supply valves before disconnecting the hoses from the old valve. Skipping this step will result in water spraying from the open supply lines once the hoses are disconnected.

XPARTCO WE1M652 Dryer Timer Knob
The XPARTCO WE1M652 is an aftermarket replacement timer control knob for GE dryers, and also fits select Hotpoint and Kenmore models. This knob mounts onto the timer's D-shaped shaft and is what you turn to select and adjust the dryer's cycle setting — it's the direct physical interface between you and the timer mechanism inside the control panel.
Finished in white, this knob measures 3" in diameter and accepts a D-shaped shaft. Over time, the knob can crack, break, or simply be lost, or the shaft opening can wear enough that the knob spins freely without actually turning the timer setting. A worn or damaged knob typically shows up as a cracked or broken knob, a knob that won't stay seated on the shaft, a knob that spins without adjusting the cycle, or cycle markings that have become worn and unreadable. It directly replaces 1264289, AH1482196, EA1482196, AP3995164, AGE25175, EAP1482196, PD00024388, PS1482196.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WE1M652 Dryer Timer Knob fixes GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore dryers with a cracked, broken, or missing timer knob, a knob that spins without adjusting the cycle, or worn cycle markings. White, 3" diameter, D-shaped shaft. Replaces 1264289, AH1482196, EA1482196, AP3995164, AGE25175, EAP1482196, PD00024388, PS1482196. Not the same as the similarly-numbered WE1M654 — using the wrong knob can throw off your dryer's cycle timing even though it may physically fit.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Timer knob cracked, broken, or missing
Knob won't stay seated on the timer shaft
Knob spins freely without adjusting the timer setting
Cycle indicator markings worn or unreadable
Difficulty selecting or adjusting the dryer's cycle setting

Compatibility
This timer knob is compatible with select GE dryers, and also fits select Hotpoint and Kenmore dryers built on the GE platform, including model numbers such as HTDX100EM8WW, HTDX100ED6WW, HTDX100EM6WW, HTDX100GM8WW, and HTDX100ED2WW.
Note — not the same as WE1M654: A similarly-numbered knob, WE1M654, is a separate part used on different models. GE's own support has confirmed that installing the wrong knob can throw off your dryer's cycle timing, causing the cycle to cut off before reaching the correct "off" position, even if the wrong knob appears to fit. Always confirm your exact model number before ordering. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure which knob your dryer needs.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — The Fit Can Be Snug Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning. Remove the old knob by pulling it straight off the control shaft — no tools are typically required, though some customers have found the fit quite snug and needed a firm, steady pull with some leverage to remove the old knob or seat the new one fully. Align the D-shaped socket on the new WE1M652 with the flat side of the timer shaft, then press the new knob firmly onto the shaft until it's fully seated. Restore power and test that the knob turns the timer setting correctly through its full range, confirming the dryer starts and progresses through the cycle as expected. Tools needed: none typically required.
Frequently Asked Questions
My old knob cracked and I replaced it with a similar-looking one, but now my drying time seems off. What happened?
This is a documented issue when the wrong knob is installed. GE's own support has confirmed that a similarly-numbered knob, WE1M654, is not correct for all models and, if installed on the wrong dryer, causes the cycle to cut off before reaching the true "off" position, throwing off drying time even though the knob may physically fit onto the shaft. If your timing seems off after a knob replacement, double-check that WE1M652 (not WE1M654) is the correct part for your specific model.
My knob spins freely without changing the cycle. Is this the right part?
Yes, this is one of the most common symptoms this knob resolves. If the knob's D-shaped socket has worn out or become stripped, it can no longer grip the timer's shaft properly, letting the knob spin without actually turning the internal timer mechanism.
Is this hard to install?
No, it's one of the simplest dryer repairs — the old knob pulls straight off the shaft and the new one presses straight on, with no tools needed. Some customers have noted the fit is quite snug and takes a bit of extra force to fully seat, but no special skills or hardware are required.
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 size, D-shaped shaft fit, and white finish of the original WE1M652 timer knob used in compatible GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore dryers.
