W10518394 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dishwasher Heating Element
The W10518394 is a Genuine OEM Whirlpool replacement dishwasher heating element compatible with select Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, and Kenmore Whirlpool-built dishwashers — including the WDF, WDT, ADB, and related series. The heating element is mounted at the bottom of the dishwasher tub and serves two purposes: it heats the wash water to the temperature required by the selected cycle (improving cleaning performance and helping detergent dissolve and work effectively), and it provides drying heat at the end of the cycle to evaporate moisture from dishes during the heated dry phase. When the element fails, dishes come out wet, glassware is spotted or cloudy, and wash performance noticeably degrades.
This is an oval-shape element rated 1200W, approximately 15"L x 3"W x 3"H. As a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications, the W10518394 directly replaces W10518394VP, W10134009, W10441445, 8194250, 8563007, 8563464, 8572861, 2977737, 1381534, 8268559, A3-06, AP4325066, AP5690151, EAP9605070, PD00012075, PS1960583, and PS9605070. The element mounts to the bottom of the tub with large nuts on the underside — the rubber washer (Whirlpool 717273) and heater nut (Whirlpool 8268548) are sold separately if they need replacement. Important: after installation on most Whirlpool dishwashers, you must run the diagnostic mode to reset the control board to recognize the new element. Installs in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dishwasher and Shut Off Water Before Starting — Don't Touch Element with Bare Hands Disconnect power at the breaker and shut off the water supply at the valve under the sink before beginning. Wear work gloves and safety glasses to protect your hands and eyes. Handle the new heating element only by the metal end terminals or its support brackets — do NOT touch the heating coil itself with bare fingers; skin oils can cause hot spots that shorten element life. From inside the dishwasher tub, the element is visible at the bottom — it's the looped metal coil running along the floor of the tub. Remove the bottom rack and any debris to clear access. To access the wire connections and mounting nuts, you'll need to either reach underneath the dishwasher from the front access panel or, on some installations, pull the dishwasher out partially. From underneath: disconnect the two wires from the bottom of the element terminals (photograph the wire connections first to ensure correct reinstallation). Remove the plastic nuts holding the element terminals in place. From inside the tub, lift the old element straight up and out. Inspect the rubber washers — if they're cracked, hardened, or torn, replace them now with new 717273 washers. Install the new W10518394 element through the same mounting holes, replace the rubber washers if needed, and secure with the plastic nuts (or new 8268548 nuts) from underneath. Reconnect the two wires to the terminals matching your original orientation. Important: after restoring power, run the Whirlpool diagnostic mode to reset the control board — on most models this is done by pressing any three buttons in sequence three times and closing the door, which initiates a ~30-minute diagnostic cycle. The new element will not be recognized by the control until this is done. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 5/8" wrench, 5/16" nut driver, 3/4" wrench, work gloves, safety glasses.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are my dishes coming out wet — is the heating element the cause?
Most likely, yes — wet dishes are the classic signature of a failed dishwasher heating element. The element provides heat for the dry phase, evaporating moisture from dish surfaces. When it fails, dishes simply air-dry, which leaves them wet (especially plastics and the interior of inverted glassware). To confirm: with the dishwasher unplugged, disconnect the wires from the element and check continuity with a multimeter. A working element shows continuity; a failed element shows an open circuit (infinite resistance). Also check that you have the heated dry option enabled in your cycle settings — some users mistakenly turn off heated dry and then assume the element has failed.
After installing the new element, the dishwasher still isn't heating — why?
On most Whirlpool dishwashers, you must run the diagnostic mode after replacing the heating element so the control board recognizes the new part. To enter diagnostic mode on most Whirlpool models, press any three buttons in sequence three times rapidly, then close the door — this starts a roughly 30-minute diagnostic cycle that resets the heater logic. If you've installed the new element correctly and it still isn't heating after the diagnostic cycle, also check the high-limit thermostat (a safety component that can stop power to the element if it has failed open). Confirm your wire connections are tight on the element terminals as well.
How is the W10518394 different from horseshoe-shape heating elements?
The W10518394 is an oval-shape element about 15" in length. Some Whirlpool-platform dishwashers — even similar-looking models — use a horseshoe-shape element instead, which has a different mounting hole pattern and shape that won't fit positions designed for the oval element. The two are NOT interchangeable. Before ordering, compare your old element to a photo of the W10518394, or check your dishwasher's parts diagram. If your old element is horseshoe-shaped, contact our support team with your model number and we'll help identify the correct horseshoe-style element for your dishwasher.
Do I need to replace the rubber washers and nuts when installing this?
Not always — they're reusable as long as they're in good condition. Inspect the rubber washers (Whirlpool 717273) for cracks, hardening, or tears. If they're brittle or torn, replace them now while you have the element out — they prevent water leaks from the tub at the element mounting points. The plastic heater nuts (Whirlpool 8268548) are usually reusable unless visibly damaged. Both parts are sold separately if you need replacements. Reusing torn rubber washers is the most common cause of leaks after this repair, so don't skip the inspection.
Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications. It is the exact same heating element installed in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, and Kenmore Whirlpool-built dishwashers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

XPARTCO 8318084 Washer Lid Switch Replaces WP8318084
The XPARTCO 8318084 is an aftermarket replacement lid switch assembly compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Roper, Estate, Maytag, Amana, Magic Chef, Crosley, and Admiral direct-drive top-load washing machines. The lid switch is a safety component located under the control panel at the top rear left corner of the washer — it detects whether the lid is open or closed and prevents the washer from spinning and agitating when the lid is open. When the lid is closed, the switch signals the control that it's safe to operate. Without a functioning lid switch, the washer may refuse to start, won't spin, won't agitate, won't drain, or stop advancing through its cycle.
Gray and white plastic housing. Electrical rating: 125–250V, 50–60Hz, 1/2 HP. Dimensions: 3"L x 2"W x 1-15/16"H. Features 3 flat terminals that the wiring harness plugs onto, plus a green grounding wire. It directly replaces WP8318084, WP8318084VP, AP3180933, AP6012742, AH886960, EA886960, EAP11745957, ES8084, TJ90ES8084, PD00002474, PN8318084, PS886960, PS11745957, and 11480-61. This is one of the most widely used lid switches across the Whirlpool direct-drive platform, fitting hundreds of top-load washer models. Installs in 15–30 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power before beginning. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. The lid switch is located under the control panel at the top rear left corner of the washer. To access it, you'll need to remove the control panel: on most direct-drive washers, use a putty knife or flat-blade screwdriver to release the spring clips at the bottom edge of the control panel (typically two clips), then flip the control panel up and back on its hinges to rest against the wall behind the washer. You should now see the lid switch mounted on the left side with two screws. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting. Unplug the wiring harness from the 3 flat terminals on the old lid switch — note how the harness connects. Remove the two mounting screws holding the old switch in place. Also disconnect the green grounding wire (it's attached separately with its own screw). Remove the old switch. Install the new 8318084 switch in the same position using the two mounting screws. Reconnect the green grounding wire with its screw. Plug the wiring harness back onto the 3 flat terminals, matching your photos. Flip the control panel back down and press it into place until the spring clips snap. Plug the washer back in and test by closing the lid and running a cycle — confirm the washer starts, agitates, spins, and drains. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife or flat-blade screwdriver (for spring clips), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer won't spin but still fills — is the lid switch the problem?
Very likely, yes. On direct-drive top-load washers, the lid switch is a safety interlock that prevents spinning and agitating when the lid is open. When the switch fails, the control never receives the "lid closed" signal, so it blocks the spin (and often the agitate and drain) as a safety measure — but filling still works because that doesn't require the lid interlock. If your washer fills but won't advance past that point, or agitates but refuses to spin, the lid switch is the prime suspect. You can confirm by testing the switch for continuity with a multimeter when the lever is pressed — a working switch shows continuity when activated.
Why would a bad lid switch cause a burning smell?
This happens when the motor tries to engage but the lid switch isn't signaling correctly, causing the motor to stall or repeatedly attempt to start without completing the cycle. A stalling direct-drive motor generates heat that produces a burning smell. If you notice a burning smell AND the washer isn't spinning or agitating properly, check the lid switch first — it's far more likely (and cheaper) than a motor failure. If the burning smell continues after replacing the switch, have the motor and motor coupling inspected by a technician.
What's the difference between 8318084 and WP8318084?
These are the same lid switch across production revisions. 8318084 was the original part number and WP8318084 is the Whirlpool-era part number (with the "WP" prefix Whirlpool adopted). WP8318084VP is a variant packaging code. All are physically and functionally identical — if your washer's parts diagram shows any of these numbers, this listing is the correct replacement. The many additional cross-references (AP3180933, AP6012742, ES8084, PS886960, PS11745957, etc.) are catalog identifiers from various parts distributors for the same switch.
Does this fit my stacked laundry center or front-load washer?
No — the 8318084 is specifically designed for standalone direct-drive top-load washers on the Whirlpool platform. Stacked washer/dryer laundry centers use different lid switch part numbers (such as the 3355806 for Whirlpool thin twin units), and front-load washers use door lock assemblies instead of lid switches. Always search by your appliance's model number to confirm the correct part. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure which switch fits your machine.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured to match the electrical specifications (125–250V, 50–60Hz, 1/2 HP), dimensions (3"L x 2"W x 1-15/16"H), 3-flat-terminal configuration, grounding wire, and lid-detection function of the original WP8318084 lid switch used in compatible Whirlpool, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Roper, Estate, Maytag, Amana, and related direct-drive top-load washers.

XPARTCO DC93-00634A Dryer Idler Pulley
The XPARTCO DC93-00634A is an aftermarket replacement idler pulley assembly compatible with a wide range of Samsung dryers. The idler pulley rides against the drive belt and keeps it under proper tension as it wraps around the drum and motor pulley. Over time, the pulley wheel can wear, crack, or seize on its shaft, or the spring-loaded tensioner arm can bend or break, causing the belt to lose tension.
When this part fails, the dryer commonly won't spin at all even though the motor runs, makes a loud noise from the drive area, or the belt goes slack and starts slipping. It directly replaces DC93-00634A, DC97-07509B, DC61-01230B, DC96-00882B, DC96-00882C, 4455850, AP6038887, ASM34631, EAP11771601, PD00032419, PS11771601. Installs in 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on how much disassembly your model requires.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting Disconnect power before beginning. Remove the front panel and/or top panel as needed to access the drum and drive belt (access point varies by model). Photograph the belt routing before removing anything. Relieve tension on the drive belt by pressing the idler pulley toward the motor, then slip the belt off the pulley and motor shaft. Remove the mounting screw or clip holding the idler pulley bracket in place and remove the old pulley assembly. Install the new DC93-00634A pulley in the same position and secure it. Route the new belt back around the drum and motor pulley, using the idler pulley to apply tension, matching your photos of the original routing. Reassemble any panels removed for access, restore power, and run a test cycle to confirm the drum spins smoothly and quietly. Tools needed: Phillips or nut driver, putty knife (for panel clips, if applicable).
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer's motor runs but the drum won't spin — is this the part?
This is the classic "no spin, no start" symptom of a failed idler pulley or a broken drive belt. If the pulley wheel is cracked, seized, or the tensioner arm is bent or broken, the belt loses tension and can no longer transfer power from the motor to the drum. Inspect the belt for damage as well, since a broken belt often accompanies a worn idler pulley.
Do I need to replace the drive belt at the same time?
Not necessarily, but it's worth inspecting closely while you have the drum accessible. If the idler pulley failed due to age or wear, the belt has often experienced similar stress and may be worn, glazed, or close to failing itself. Many technicians replace both together to avoid a repeat repair.
Will this fit my LG or Whirlpool dryer?
No — this idler pulley is specific to the Samsung drive belt platform. LG, Whirlpool, GE, and other brands use different idler pulley and belt tensioning designs that are not interchangeable with this part. Confirm your appliance model number before ordering.
How long does this repair typically take?
Most installers report 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on how much disassembly your specific model requires to access the belt and pulley. Front panel removal is usually the more time-consuming part; the pulley swap itself is quick once accessed.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning. Wear work gloves. Turn the two screws located at the bottom corners of the front panel counter-clockwise until they come out, then slide the panel up and off the dryer to access the door switch. Locate the wires connected to the old door switch and disconnect them, noting their positions. Remove the mounting screws or clips securing the old switch and pull it free. Install the new WE04X28977 in the same position, reconnect the wires to their original positions, and secure the mounting hardware. Slide the front panel back into place and secure the two bottom corner screws. Restore power and test that the dryer starts normally with the door closed, and stops if the door is opened during a cycle. Tools needed: screwdriver, wrench, pliers.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer won't start. Is this the part I need?
Yes, this is one of the most common symptoms of a failed door switch. Since this switch tells the control board whether the door is closed, a damaged or malfunctioning switch can prevent the dryer from starting even when the door is fully shut.
My dryer door won't close properly. Could this be the same part?
Yes, a damaged door switch — often from excessive force when closing the door over time — can cause the door to not latch or close correctly, in addition to preventing the dryer from starting.
Is this a difficult repair?
It's a straightforward repair for a confident DIYer, requiring a screwdriver, wrench, and pliers, along with some slight disassembly of the dryer's front panel to access the switch.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by GE to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original switch design and mounting configuration of the door switch originally installed in your dryer.

W11670519 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Lid Lock Latch Assembly
The W11670519 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM lid lock latch assembly for Maytag top-load washers on the Cabrio-style MVW platform. Unlike a simple mechanical lid switch, this is a true electronic lid lock: a 3-wire connector feeds the assembly, which both senses whether the lid is closed and physically locks it shut once a cycle with spin is underway. The control won't allow the washer to spin — and on many cycles won't even let it start — until this assembly confirms the lid is closed and locked, which is why a failing latch produces such a wide range of symptoms: a washer that won't start, a lid that won't lock or won't release, cycles that stall or interrupt partway through, or a washer that fills and agitates but refuses to spin.
Built from high-strength, wear-resistant ABS and PP plastic with a precision locking mechanism, this assembly is designed to prevent the lid from popping open mid-spin, which protects against water leakage and the safety hazard of an open lid on a spinning basket. Common failure modes include a locking mechanism that has worn out and can no longer engage or release reliably, a broken internal switch that stops signaling lid status to the control board, and simple wear from years of daily cycling. It directly replaces W11368616, AP7214714, PD00085482, 4981394, PS17215992, and EAP17215992. As a genuine OEM part, the W11670519 is manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.
Quick Answer
The W11670519 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Lid Lock Latch Assembly fixes Maytag top-load washers on the Cabrio-style MVW platform where the washer won't start, the lid won't lock or won't release, the washer fills and agitates but won't spin, the cycle stalls or interrupts, or the lid clicks repeatedly without locking. 3-wire electronic lid lock, ABS/PP construction.

Common Problems This Part Fixes
Washer won't start even though the lid is closed
Lid won't lock, or locks but won't release when the cycle ends
Washer fills and agitates normally but won't spin
Persistent clicking sound from the lid area without the lid actually locking
Cycle stalling or interrupting partway through
Lid feels loose or doesn't seat and lock the way it used to

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting — If The Lid Is Locked Shut, Release It Manually First Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. If the old latch has failed in the locked position and you can't open the lid, insert a small flathead screwdriver into the latch opening where the lock mechanism engages through the lid, and gently slide the mechanism back to release it — then prop the lid open so it can't re-close and re-lock while you work. Remove the two screws holding the top section (control panel, lid, and wash basket opening) and slide the top of the unit forward and up to remove it, then prop it securely (a sturdy support between the cabinet frame and the top panel works well) rather than relying on your hands to hold it up. With the top propped open, remove the plastic cowl that the lid latch sits inside, which also retains the lock mechanism. Unclip the wiring harness from the retaining clips running around the inside of the lid and let the assembly hang free. Photograph the wiring connections before disconnecting the 3-wire connector from the old assembly. At the back of the lid, two metal spring clips retain the mechanism — squeeze these with your fingers or a set of pliers to release the old assembly, then pop the new W11670519 into place the same way. Reconnect the 3-wire connector, reclip the wiring harness into its retaining clips, and reinstall the plastic cowl. Lower the top panel back into position, reinstall its retaining screws, and confirm the lid closes, latches, and locks correctly through a full test cycle including spin. Tools needed: small flathead screwdriver, Phillips screwdriver, pliers, a sturdy prop for the top panel, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer fills and agitates but won't spin. Is this the lid lock?
Yes, this is one of the most common symptoms of a failing lid lock latch on this platform. The control requires confirmation that the lid is closed and locked before it will allow the higher-speed, higher-torque spin cycle to run, even if it's willing to run the gentler fill and agitate steps without full confirmation. If your washer gets partway through a cycle and simply refuses to spin, this assembly is a strong suspect.
The lid keeps clicking but never actually locks. What does that mean?
A repeated clicking sound without the lid actually locking usually points to a worn or failing internal locking mechanism inside this assembly — it's attempting to engage but can't complete the lock reliably. This is a textbook symptom that this part has worn out and needs replacement.
My washer's lid is locked shut and won't open. How do I even get it open to do this repair?
With the washer unplugged, you can usually manually release the lock: insert a small flathead screwdriver into the latch opening where the mechanism engages through the lid, and gently slide it back to disengage the lock. Once the lid is open, prop it so it can't fall shut and re-lock while you continue the repair.
Is this the same part as the lid switches used on other Whirlpool washers?
No. This is an electronic locking latch assembly specific to the Maytag Cabrio-style MVW platform, and it works differently from the simpler mechanical lid switches used on other Whirlpool-family platforms, including the direct-drive top-load switch, the Whirlpool thin-twin switch, and various GE-platform switches we also carry. These parts are not interchangeable with each other — always match the assembly to your specific washer platform.
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 includes the same 3-wire electrical connection, locking mechanism, and ABS/PP construction as the lid lock latch assembly originally installed in your Maytag Cabrio-style washer.

W11457841 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Lid Strike
The W11457841 is a Genuine OEM Whirlpool replacement washer lid strike compatible with select Whirlpool, Maytag, and Kenmore HE top-load washers — including the Whirlpool WTW5100, WTW5105, WTW6120, WTW7120, WTW8120, WTW8127 series, and the Maytag MVW6200, MVW6230, MVW7230, MVW7232, MVW8230 series. The lid strike is the plastic component attached to the underside of the washer lid that physically engages the lid lock mechanism when the lid is closed. As the lid lowers into place, the strike enters the lock slot and activates the lid switch — signaling the control board that the lid is securely closed and the washer is safe to start agitation and spin.
When the lid strike fails — typically by breaking off, cracking, or wearing down — the lid lock can't be properly activated, and the washer will not start, will stop mid-cycle, or will refuse to advance to the spin cycle. As a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications, the W11457841 is the current production part, directly superseding W11091027. It also replaces 4959179, AP6987306, EAP16218028, PD00061788, and PS16218028. Installation is fast and simple — a counterclockwise twist removes the old strike, and a clockwise twist installs the new one. Installs in under 5 minutes, no special tools required.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power before beginning. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Open the washer lid and locate the lid strike on the underside of the lid — it's the small plastic peg that drops into the lock slot when the lid is closed. To remove the old strike: rotate the strike counterclockwise until the retaining tab breaks free and pulls back, then pull the old strike straight out. To install the new W11457841: align it with the mounting hole in the same orientation as the old one, and rotate clockwise until you hear or feel the retainer tab click into place. Close the lid and confirm the strike engages the lock slot properly. Restore power, start a test cycle, and confirm the lid locks and the washer begins normal operation. Tools needed: work gloves only — no tools required for the strike itself.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the lid strike, lid lock, and lid switch?
These three components work together as a safety system. The lid strike (W11457841) is the small plastic peg attached to the underside of the lid that physically enters the lock slot when the lid closes. The lid lock is the mechanism in the washer cabinet that grips the strike and physically locks the lid closed during the spin cycle. The lid switch is the electrical sensor inside the lock assembly that signals the control board when the strike is engaged. If the strike is broken or missing, none of the three can do their job — even if the lock and switch are working perfectly. Replacing just the strike often resolves "won't start" issues without needing to replace the more expensive lock assembly.
What is the difference between W11457841 and W11091027?
These are the same lid strike across production revisions. W11091027 was the earlier OEM part number, and W11457841 is the current production version that Whirlpool issued as a direct replacement. Both parts are physically and functionally identical — if your washer's parts diagram shows W11091027, the W11457841 is the correct current replacement, and this listing covers both numbers.
My washer won't start and the lid seems to close normally — could this be the strike?
Yes, this is one of the most common symptoms of lid strike failure on compatible Whirlpool and Maytag washers. Even though the lid appears to close, if the strike has cracked or worn down it may not physically engage the lock or activate the switch correctly. Visually inspect the strike on the underside of the lid — if it's broken, missing, or chipped, replacement is straightforward. If the strike looks intact and the washer still won't start, the lid lock assembly itself or the wiring harness may need attention.
Do I really not need any tools to install this?
Correct — the W11457841 lid strike uses a twist-in design with no screws or hardware. To remove the old strike, rotate it counterclockwise until the internal retaining tab breaks free, then pull it out. To install the new one, push it into the mounting hole and twist clockwise until it clicks into place. The whole replacement typically takes under 5 minutes once you have the new part in hand. Work gloves are recommended to protect your hands while gripping the small plastic part, but no other tools are needed.
Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications. It is the exact same lid strike installed in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, and Kenmore HE top-load washers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.
