279827 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer Drive Motor
The 279827 is a Genuine OEM Whirlpool replacement dryer drive motor with pre-attached pulley, compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, Estate, and Kenmore dryers. The drive motor is the component that powers everything that moves in your dryer — it turns the drum belt (which rotates the drum to tumble clothes) and simultaneously drives the blower wheel (which pushes heated air through the drum and out the exhaust vent). When the motor fails, the dryer either won't start, won't tumble, stops mid-cycle, or makes loud humming, buzzing, or grinding noises.
This is a dual-shaft motor: the drive shaft (1-3/4" long) connects to the drum belt via the pre-attached pulley, and the blower shaft (1-3/4" long) drives the blower wheel. The pulley is pre-attached and is not available separately — if your old motor's pulley is worn, this replacement includes a new one. As a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications, the 279827 is one of the most widely used dryer motors across the Whirlpool platform, replacing over 70 legacy part numbers spanning decades of production. Key cross-references include W10448892, W10396029, W10194250, 8066206, 3395654, 3398046, 3391888, 3395652, AP3094245, PS334304, and EAP334304. Includes the motor assembly, two 1/8" insulated female terminals, and instructions. Before replacing the motor, check the thermal fuse (electric dryers) and door switch first — a blown fuse or failed switch produces identical no-start symptoms and is a far cheaper fix. Installs in 45–90 minutes with basic hand tools.

Important — Before Replacing the Motor: A dryer that won't start can be caused by several components that are far cheaper and easier to replace than the motor. Before ordering, check the thermal fuse (electric dryers — test for continuity with a multimeter), the door switch (test for continuity when pressed), and the start switch. All three produce identical no-start symptoms. Only replace the motor after ruling out these common causes — a motor replacement is a significant repair, and it's far cheaper to replace a $10 thermal fuse than a $150+ motor. Always verify your dryer model number before ordering.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Disconnect Power Before Starting — 240V Circuit (Electric) or Gas Line (Gas) — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power at the breaker before beginning — electric dryers operate on a 240V circuit and there is a serious risk of electrical shock. For gas dryers, also shut off the gas supply at the shutoff valve. Wear work gloves and safety glasses. Pull the dryer away from the wall. Remove the lint screen and the screws beneath it. For most Whirlpool-platform dryers, remove the top panel by releasing the spring clips at the front, then detach the front panel by removing the screws at the top corners. Disconnect the door switch wires and set the front panel aside. Support the drum and slide it forward to access the motor at the bottom rear. Remove the drum belt from the motor pulley and idler pulley. Photograph the motor's wiring connections before disconnecting. Disconnect the electrical connections from the motor. Remove the blower wheel from the old motor's blower shaft — this typically requires a clamp or clip removal (the blower wheel threads off counterclockwise on many models). Remove the motor mounting clip/bracket and lift out the old motor. Install the new 279827 motor in the same position. Transfer the blower wheel onto the new motor's blower shaft and secure it. Reinstall the motor mounting clip/bracket. Reconnect the electrical connections using the included insulated female terminals if needed (match your photos). Re-route the drum belt around the drum, through the idler pulley, and onto the motor pulley. Reassemble the front panel, top panel, and lint screen. Restore power (and gas for gas dryers) and run a test cycle — confirm the drum spins smoothly and heated air flows through the drum. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, socket/ratchet set, putty knife (for spring clips), needle-nose pliers, work gloves, safety glasses.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer won't start — is the motor definitely the problem?
Not necessarily — and this is important because a motor replacement is a significant repair. A dryer that won't start can be caused by several components that are far cheaper and easier to replace. Before ordering the motor, check these first: 1) Thermal fuse (electric dryers) — a blown thermal fuse is the single most common cause of a no-start condition. Test for continuity with a multimeter; if it reads open, replace the fuse (~$10). 2) Door switch — test for continuity when pressed; if it's failed, the dryer won't start as a safety measure. 3) Start switch — if pressing the start button produces no response at all, the start switch itself may have failed. Only replace the motor after ruling these out. Signs that point specifically to the motor: a loud humming or buzzing when you press start (motor trying but can't turn), grinding or squealing from the motor area, or a motor that runs intermittently and cuts out.
Why does the motor hum but the drum doesn't turn?
A humming motor that won't turn is a classic sign of a seized or failing motor — the windings are energized (hence the hum) but the shaft can't rotate because the bearings have failed or the motor is mechanically stuck. This can also be caused by the blower wheel being jammed with lint or debris, preventing the shaft from turning — so before condemning the motor, check the blower wheel for obstructions. If the blower wheel spins freely and the motor still hums without turning, the motor has failed and needs replacement. Note: a humming motor that won't start will eventually trip the thermal fuse as a safety measure, so you may need to replace both the motor and the thermal fuse.
Why are there so many cross-reference part numbers for this motor?
The 279827 is one of the most extensively cross-referenced parts in the Whirlpool catalog because it's been the standard dryer drive motor across the Whirlpool platform for decades — spanning Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Roper, Estate, Kenmore, and many other brands that Whirlpool manufactures for. Over the years, the motor has been assigned different part numbers by different brands, distributors, and catalog systems (W10448892, W10396029, 8066206, 3395654, 3398046, etc.), but they all point to the same motor. If your old motor shows ANY of those numbers, the 279827 is the correct replacement.
Does this motor come with the pulley?
Yes — the pulley is pre-attached to the motor and is not available separately. The pulley is what the drum belt rides on, transferring the motor's rotation to the drum. If your old motor's pulley was worn or grooved (a common cause of belt slipping and squealing), the new 279827 includes a fresh pulley. You will need to transfer the blower wheel from your old motor to the new one — the blower wheel is not included.
Should I replace the belt and idler pulley while changing the motor?
It's strongly recommended. When you replace the motor, the dryer is already apart and both the drum belt and idler pulley are right there in your hands. All three components wear from the same friction and heat cycles, and installing a new motor with a worn belt or a seized idler pulley puts unnecessary stress on the new motor from day one. Many technicians replace the belt, idler pulley, and drum support rollers as standard maintenance whenever the dryer is opened for a motor replacement — the combined cost of these parts is modest compared to the labor of disassembling the dryer again later.
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 drive motor with pulley installed in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, Estate, and Kenmore dryers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Safety First — Unplug Dryer Before Starting Unplug the dryer from the power source (and shut off the gas supply for gas dryers) before beginning any repair. Remove the lint screen and unscrew the Phillips screws inside the lint screen housing. Use a putty knife to release the top panel clips and lift the top panel. Remove the front panel to access the drum and drive components. Release the drive belt tension by pushing the idler arm, then slide the belt off the idler pulley. Remove the mounting screw securing the old idler arm assembly and lift it out. Install the new W10837240 idler assembly, secure with the mounting screw, then re-route the drive belt around the new pulley and motor pulley. Reassemble the front panel, top panel, and restore power before running a test cycle. Tip: While the dryer is open, inspect the drum belt (WPW10112954) and drum support rollers for wear and replace if needed. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife or flat pry tool.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the idler pulley do?
The idler pulley is a spring-tensioned wheel mounted on an arm and bracket inside the dryer. It presses against the drive belt to maintain the correct tension needed to keep the belt gripping the drum and motor pulley. Without proper tension, the belt slips, loses contact, or causes the drum to stop spinning. A worn or seized idler pulley is one of the most common causes of dryer squeaking and drum spin failure.
Does W10837240 replace W10547287 and W10547290?
Yes. The W10837240 is the updated part number that directly supersedes both the W10547287 and W10547290 idler pulley assemblies. If your dryer originally used either of those older part numbers, the W10837240 is the correct current replacement.
How do I know if my lint screen is inside the door?
Open the dryer door and look for a slot or housing just inside the door opening — typically at the top or bottom of the door opening — where you pull out the lint filter. If the filter pulls out from inside the door frame, the W10837240 is designed for your dryer style. If the lint screen pulls out from the top of the dryer cabinet, contact our support team with your model number to identify the correct idler pulley for your machine.
Should I replace the drive belt at the same time?
Yes — since the dryer is already disassembled to replace the idler pulley, it is highly recommended to also inspect and replace the drum belt (WPW10112954) at the same time. The belt and idler pulley wear together, and a worn belt on a new pulley — or vice versa — significantly shortens the life of the new part.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured from durable plastic and metal to match the dimensions and performance of the original W10837240 idler pulley assembly.

XPARTCO 279816 Dryer Thermostat Kit
The XPARTCO 279816 is an aftermarket replacement thermal fuse and high-limit thermostat combo kit for Whirlpool-built dryers. These are the dryer's two thermal safety devices, and they're bundled together in this kit because they tend to fail around the same time and share a common cause: restricted airflow that lets heat build up beyond safe levels. The high-limit thermostat is the first line of defense, opening at approximately 250°F (L250-80F) to interrupt heating if the dryer runs too hot. If that isn't enough to bring the temperature back down, the thermal fuse is the final failsafe, opening permanently at approximately 309°F to cut power to the dryer entirely.
That's an important distinction between the two parts: the high-limit thermostat is a cycling safety device that can open and close as temperature rises and falls, while the thermal fuse is a one-time device — once it blows, it's done, and the dryer won't run again until it's replaced. This kit includes both components plus mounting screws and a wiring set with a jumper wire and extra terminals, which is used specifically when replacing an older-style thermostat that had a wire pressing directly onto the heating element. A dryer that won't start at all, with no lights or response, usually means the thermal fuse has blown; a dryer that runs but won't heat, or that stops heating partway through a cycle, points more toward the thermostat. It directly replaces 2651, 279816VP, 3399848, 3977393, 3390291, AP3094244, AH334299, EA334299, EAP334299, PD00002348, and PS334299.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 279816 Dryer Thermostat Kit fixes Whirlpool-built dryers that won't start at all, won't heat, or stop heating partway through a cycle. Includes a thermal fuse (opens ~309°F), a high-limit thermostat (opens ~250°F), mounting screws, and a wiring set. Replaces 2651, 279816VP, 3399848, 3977393, 3390291, AP3094244, AH334299, EA334299, EAP334299, PD00002348, PS334299. Always inspect and clean the dryer venting when replacing this kit — a blown fuse or tripped thermostat is a symptom of restricted airflow, and skipping this step means the new parts are likely to fail again.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer won't start at all — no lights, no tumble, no response to any button
Dryer runs and tumbles but produces no heat
Dryer heats for a while, then stops heating partway through a cycle
Dryer that stopped working suddenly, especially after running unusually hot
Clothes coming out extremely hot right before the dryer stopped heating or stopped entirely
Repeated blown fuses or tripped thermostats on a dryer with a known venting restriction
Continuity test shows an open circuit across the old fuse or thermostat

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Inspect And Clean The Venting Before Reassembling Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Access is typically through the rear panel: remove the screws securing the panel to reach the blower housing area where both the thermal fuse and high-limit thermostat are mounted, usually close together near the heating element or blower assembly. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting anything, and note whether your old thermostat used a push-on wire connection at the heating element — if so, use the included jumper wire and extra terminals to make the new connection correctly. Remove the mounting screws holding each old component in place and disconnect their wire terminals. Before installing the new parts, test the old fuse and thermostat with a multimeter to confirm which one (or both) is actually open, rather than assuming. This is the most important step: fully inspect and clean the dryer's exhaust vent, from the lint trap housing all the way to the exterior vent hood, checking for lint buildup, crushed sections, or excessive length. A blown fuse or tripped thermostat is a symptom of restricted airflow, and skipping this step means the new parts are likely to fail again. Install the new thermal fuse and thermostat from this kit in the same mounting positions, reconnect the wire terminals (using the included wiring set if applicable), and secure the mounting screws. Reinstall the rear panel, restore power, and run a test cycle to confirm normal heating and shutoff behavior. Tools needed: Phillips or nut driver (model-dependent), multimeter, vent brush or vacuum attachment for cleaning ductwork, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does this kit include two different parts instead of just one?
The thermal fuse and high-limit thermostat work together as a two-stage safety system, and they're bundled because they commonly fail together — both are reacting to the same underlying overheating condition, usually restricted airflow. The high-limit thermostat trips first at a lower temperature and can cycle open and closed; if that's not enough to control the heat, the thermal fuse trips at a higher temperature and shuts the dryer down permanently until replaced. Replacing both together addresses the full safety chain rather than just one link in it.
My dryer won't start at all versus my dryer runs but doesn't heat — which part is which?
A dryer with absolutely no response — no lights, no tumbling, nothing — usually points to the thermal fuse, since it's wired to cut power more broadly when it blows. A dryer that tumbles and runs normally but produces no heat, or that starts heating and then stops partway through, points more toward the high-limit thermostat. Testing both components with a multimeter will confirm exactly which one has failed.
I replaced both parts and the dryer failed again. What's going on?
This is a strong sign that the underlying cause — almost always restricted airflow — was never addressed. Neither of these parts fails from age; they trip or blow because the dryer overheated. If new parts fail again, thoroughly inspect and clean the entire exhaust path from the lint trap housing to the outside vent hood, checking for lint buildup, crushed or kinked ductwork, or a vent run that's too long. If airflow checks out and the parts still fail, have the heating element checked as well, since a shorted element can also drive excess heat.
Do I need the wiring set included in this kit?
Only if your dryer's original thermostat used a wire that pressed directly onto the heating element (an older-style connection) rather than a standard push-on terminal. If your dryer already uses a straightforward terminal connection, you can skip the jumper wire and extra terminals and connect the new thermostat directly.
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 opening temperatures, terminal configuration, and mounting positions of the original 279816 thermal fuse and high-limit thermostat kit used in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, and related dryers.

12638200000241 Genuine OEM Midea Dryer Drum Belt
The 12638200000241 is a Genuine OEM Midea replacement dryer drum belt compatible with a wide range of Midea, Criterion, and Insignia electric and gas dryers, including the MLE41/45/47/52, MLG45/52, MLTE37, CDE41, CDG41/45, CLADE67, and MDD160 series. The drum belt wraps around the dryer drum and the motor pulley, transferring the motor's rotation to spin the drum during the drying cycle. When the belt breaks, stretches, or wears out, the motor continues to run but the drum no longer spins — clothes sit still in the drum while the motor hums, and the dryer cannot complete a normal cycle.
As a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Midea to factory specifications, the 12638200000241 is constructed from durable black rubber. Packaged dimensions are approximately 11" L x 3" W x 2" H. Note: if the drum belt has failed, this is also a good opportunity to inspect the drum support rollers (Midea 12638000004021) and the idler/tensioner pulley assembly while the dryer cabinet is open — these components wear together and a failing roller or pulley can accelerate belt wear. Installs in 45–60 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 sheet 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. Disconnect the door switch harness and remove the front panel to access the drum, drive belt, and motor/idler pulley assembly. Take a photo of the existing belt routing before removing anything — this is essential for correct reassembly. Release the old belt from the idler pulley and slide it off the drum and motor pulley. Carefully lift the drum out and inspect the drum support rollers and idler pulley for wear — replace them now if needed while the dryer is open. Wrap the new 12638200000241 belt around the drum (ribbed side against the drum). Reinstall the drum, then route the belt around the motor pulley and under the idler pulley, allowing the idler to tension the belt. Reassemble the front panel and top panel in reverse order. Restore power (and gas, for gas models) and run a test cycle to confirm smooth, quiet drum rotation. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if the drum belt has failed?
The clearest sign of a broken drum belt is a dryer where the motor starts and runs normally, but the drum does not spin — you'll hear the motor humming with no drum movement. If you open the door mid-cycle and the drum spins freely with no resistance (as if disconnected from the motor), the belt has either broken or slipped off completely. A stretched or worn belt that still drives the drum may also produce squealing or burning rubber smells from slippage on the motor pulley. Visually inspecting the belt after removing the dryer's front panel confirms the condition.
Should I replace the drum rollers and idler pulley at the same time?
Yes — since the dryer cabinet must already be opened and the drum removed to replace the belt, this is the ideal time to also inspect and replace the drum support rollers (Midea 12638000004021) and the idler/tensioner pulley. All three components form the drum drive system and tend to wear together. A worn roller or pulley is often what caused the belt to fail prematurely in the first place. Addressing them together in a single repair eliminates the most common drum drive failure points and prevents a near-term repeat teardown.
Does this belt fit Insignia and Criterion dryers as well as Midea?
Yes — Insignia (Best Buy) and Criterion (Sears/Kmart) are house brands whose dryers in this size class are manufactured by Midea and use the same internal components, including this drum belt. Confirmed compatible models include Insignia NSDRE67WH8A, NSFDRE67WH8A, NSFDRE77WH8B, NSTDRE67W1, NSTDRE75W1 (electric) and NSFDRG67WH8A, NSTDRG67W1, NSTDRG75W1 (gas), plus Criterion CDE41N1AW (electric) and CDG41N1AW/CDG45N1AW (gas). Always verify your specific model number before ordering.
Which way does the belt go around the drum — ribbed side in or out?
On the drum belt, the ribbed (grooved) side should face inward, against the drum surface, while the smooth side faces outward. The ribs grip the smooth drum surface to drive it as the motor pulley turns. On the motor pulley side, the belt seats in the grooves of the small motor pulley. Take a photo of how the original belt was routed before removing it — this is the most reliable way to confirm correct orientation during reinstallation.
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 drum belt installed in compatible Midea, Criterion, and Insignia electric and gas dryers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting Disconnect power (and shut off gas for gas dryers) before beginning. Remove the lint screen and unscrew the screws inside the lint screen housing. Use a putty knife to release the top panel spring clips and lift the top panel. Remove the front panel to access the drum. Release the drive belt from the idler pulley, lift the drum forward, and set it aside. The rear drum support rollers are mounted on shafts on the rear bulkhead — each roller is secured with a tri-ring clip and a retaining washer. Use needle-nose pliers to remove the old tri-ring clips, then slide the old rollers off the shafts. Install the new rollers, new retaining washers, and new tri-ring clips on the shafts. Reinstall the drum, re-route the belt around the motor and idler pulley, and reassemble the front and top panels. Restore power and run a test cycle to verify quiet, smooth drum operation. Tip: while the dryer is open, inspect and replace the drum belt (341241) and idler pulley (691366 or 279640) if worn. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" or 5/16" nut driver, putty knife, needle-nose pliers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do the drum support rollers do?
The rear drum support rollers are cylindrical wheels mounted on fixed shafts at the back of the dryer cabinet. As the drum rotates, its rear outer rim rests on these rollers, which carry the drum's weight and allow it to spin smoothly and quietly. When the rubber wheels wear down or the bearing hubs corrode, the drum no longer rides smoothly on the rollers — causing thumping, rumbling, or squealing noises that get progressively worse. In severe cases, worn rollers allow the drum to sag and drag against the cabinet rear panel.
Why must I replace both rollers at the same time?
Both rear drum support rollers carry the same load and experience the same wear through every drying cycle. When one roller fails, the other has been under the same stress for the same number of cycles and is almost certainly near the end of its useful life. Replacing only the failed roller leaves one worn roller supporting the drum unevenly, which puts extra stress on the new roller and causes it to wear out much faster. Replace both rollers at the same time to ensure even drum support and get the full service life from the new parts.
Should I also replace the belt and idler pulley at the same time?
Yes — this is the ideal time. Since the dryer must be fully disassembled to access the rear drum rollers, replacing the drum belt (341241) and idler pulley (691366 or 279640) at the same time is strongly recommended. All three parts wear at similar rates, and a worn belt or idler pulley is often what caused the rollers to wear prematurely. Doing all three in one repair eliminates the most common drum drive failure points and saves you from repeating the teardown in the near future. The 4392065 maintenance kit includes all three parts together.
What causes dryer drum rollers to wear out?
Drum rollers wear naturally over time from the continuous load of supporting the rotating drum. The most common accelerating factors are operating the dryer with a worn or broken belt (which allows the drum to sag and puts extra weight on the rollers), running very large or heavy loads frequently, and allowing lint to accumulate around the roller shafts, which causes the bearings to run dry and wear faster. Regular dryer maintenance — including cleaning lint from around the drum and periodically checking the belt — helps extend roller life.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
It is a genuine Whirlpool OEM part.
