XPARTCO 279973 Dryer Thermostat Kit The XPARTCO 279973 is an aftermarket replacement dryer thermostat and thermal cut-off kit compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool-family electric dryers including Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Inglis, Roper, and Admiral. The kit contains two components — the high-limit thermostat (L295-80F) and the thermal cut-off fuse — both located on the heating element housing. Together they protect the dryer's heating element from overheating: the high-limit thermostat monitors element temperature and cuts power if it exceeds safe levels, then resets when cooled. The thermal cut-off fuse is a backup one-time device that permanently opens the circuit if the thermostat fails to protect the element. Both parts are mounted on the side of the heating element housing and can be accessed through the dryer's back panel. The thermal cut-off fuse is a non-resettable one-time device — once it opens, it must be replaced. The 279973 kit includes both parts, an instruction sheet, and hardware. It directly replaces 3391913, 3404151, 3404152, 3977395, 8318314, 897710, 279973VP, AP3094323, and several additional cross-reference numbers. Note: this kit is for electric dryers only. Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools.

If your part number is not listed above, contact our support team before ordering and we will verify compatibility. Compatibility This thermostat kit is compatible with select electric dryers only from the following brands: Whirlpool electric dryers (Duet, Cabrio, and standard series) Kenmore / Sears electric dryers (Whirlpool-built models) Maytag electric dryers KitchenAid electric dryers Amana electric dryers Inglis electric dryers Roper electric dryers Admiral electric dryers Important: This kit is for electric dryers only. Gas dryers use a different burner assembly and require a different thermostat kit (XP6974 for Whirlpool-family gas dryers). Always verify your dryer type and model number before ordering. Also: if the thermal cut-off fuse has blown, always check for a clogged exhaust vent before replacing — a blocked vent is the most common root cause of overheating and repeated fuse failures. Key Features 2-part kit — high-limit thermostat and thermal cut-off fuse, both on the heating element housing High-limit thermostat (L295-80F) — opens at 295°F to cut element power, auto-resets when cooled Thermal cut-off fuse (352°F) — one-time backup safety device; permanently opens if thermostat fails to protect the element Both parts located on the heating element housing — accessible from the dryer back panel Replacing both together ensures complete thermal protection is restored on the element housing Replaces 3391913, 3404151, 8318314, 897710, AP3094323, and over 10 additional cross-reference numbers Electric dryers only — not for gas dryer models Compatible with Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Inglis, Roper, and Admiral electric dryers Aftermarket replacement built to OEM-equivalent quality standards Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools Product Specifications Kit Part Number 279973 Condition Aftermarket Replacement Application Electric Dryers Only Kit Includes 1x High-Limit Thermostat (L295-80F), 1x Thermal Cut-Off Fuse (352°F), hardware, instruction sheet High-Limit Thermostat Rating L295-80F — opens at 295°F, resets at 215°F — auto-resets Thermal Cut-Off Fuse Trip Temp 352°F — one-time, non-resettable Location Heating element housing (both parts) Compatible Brands Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Inglis, Roper, Admiral Installation Notes ⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Electric Dryers Only Disconnect power before beginning. Remove the back panel of the dryer by unscrewing the perimeter screws to expose the heating element housing. Both the high-limit thermostat and thermal cut-off fuse are mounted on the side of the heating element housing — the thermostat is typically the larger component and the thermal cut-off fuse is smaller. Test each component with a multimeter before removing (both should show closed continuity at room temperature; the failed one will read open). Photograph the wiring before disconnecting. Disconnect the wires, remove the mounting screws, and install the new components in the same positions. Reconnect the wires and mounting screws, reinstall the back panel, restore power, and run a test cycle to confirm heat. Tip: Before running the dryer, clean the full length of the exhaust duct — a clogged vent is the most common cause of overheating and a blown thermal cut-off fuse. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, multimeter. Frequently Asked Questions What is the difference between the high-limit thermostat and the thermal cut-off fuse in this kit? The high-limit thermostat (L295-80F) is a resettable safety switch that opens at 295°F to cut power to the heating element and resets automatically when the temperature drops. It is the primary protection against overheating during normal operation. The thermal cut-off fuse is a one-time backup device rated at 352°F — it permanently opens the circuit if the heating element temperature climbs beyond the point the thermostat should have caught. Once the cut-off fuse opens, it must be replaced; it does not reset on its own. If the cut-off fuse has blown, it usually means the high-limit thermostat also failed to do its job and should be replaced at the same time — which is exactly what this kit provides. How do I test these parts with a multimeter? Unplug the dryer and remove the back panel to access the heating element housing. Disconnect each component from the wiring and probe both terminals with a multimeter set to continuity or resistance mode. At room temperature, both the high-limit thermostat and the thermal cut-off fuse should show closed continuity (near-zero resistance). Any component that reads open circuit (no continuity) has failed and needs to be replaced. The thermal cut-off fuse reads open even after it cools — it is non-resettable. The high-limit thermostat may read open at room temperature if it has failed internally rather than by an overheat trip. How is the 279973 kit different from the XP6974 thermostat kit? The 279973 is a 2-part kit — high-limit thermostat and thermal cut-off fuse — designed specifically for the heating element housing of Whirlpool-family electric dryers. The XP6974 is a 4-part kit — cycling thermostat, thermal fuse, high-limit thermostat, and thermal cut-off — designed for Whirlpool-family gas and electric dryers, covering both the exhaust duct components and the burner/element housing components. If your electric dryer is showing no-heat and you need only the heating element housing components, the 279973 kit covers exactly those two parts. If you want to replace all thermal components in one repair, the XP6974 covers a broader set. Why does the thermal cut-off fuse keep blowing? If the thermal cut-off fuse blows repeatedly after replacement, it almost always means there is an underlying overheating condition causing the heating element housing to run hotter than it should. The most common cause is a clogged or restricted exhaust vent — lint accumulation in the duct reduces airflow, trapping heat inside the dryer cabinet and around the element. Other causes include a failed cycling thermostat that is not regulating element temperature correctly, a stuck heating element relay, or a dryer in an enclosed space with inadequate ventilation. Always clean the full exhaust duct and check the cycling thermostat (WP3387134) before replacing the thermal cut-off fuse a second time. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement kit built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured to match the temperature ratings and specifications of the original 279973 high-limit thermostat and thermal cut-off fuse kit.

XPARTCO 280148 Dryer Thermostat Set The XPARTCO 280148 is an aftermarket replacement thermal fuse and high-limit thermostat set for Whirlpool electric dryers, and also fits select Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, Roper, Estate, Crosley, Admiral, KitchenAid, and Norge models. This set bundles the 8557403 high-limit thermostat, which monitors temperature and automatically cuts power to the heating element if it overheats, then resets itself once the dryer cools, together with the 8318314 thermal fuse, a one-time backup safety device that permanently opens the circuit if temperatures climb high enough that the thermostat alone doesn't prevent an overheat. These two parts are sold together and commonly fail around the same time, since they protect the same circuit and respond to the same underlying overheating conditions — most often restricted exhaust venting. Symptoms include the dryer not heating at all, taking longer than normal to dry a load, or overheating before shutting down. It directly replaces 280148VP, 1175772, AP3874047, PS991443, EAP991443, and 314634.

Wear work gloves. Access is typically through the rear panel, near the heating element and blower housing where both components are mounted. Photograph the wiring connections before disconnecting anything, since the thermostat and fuse can be easy to swap positions by mistake. Remove each old component from its mounting position, noting orientation, and disconnect its wiring. Before reassembling, 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. Restricted airflow is the leading cause of failure for both of these components, and skipping the vent check often leads to repeat failures even with new parts installed. Install the new 8557403 thermostat and 8318314 thermal fuse from this set in the same positions as the parts they replace, reconnecting wiring exactly as photographed. Reassemble the panel, restore power, and run a full test cycle to confirm normal, consistent heating with no premature shutoffs. Tools needed: Phillips or nut driver (model-dependent), work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions Why replace both the thermostat and the fuse together instead of just the one that failed? These two parts protect the same circuit at different thresholds and tend to fail from the same underlying cause. If the high-limit thermostat isn't regulating temperature correctly, the thermal fuse often ends up blowing as the backup safety measure. Replacing only one risks the other failing again shortly after, so they're sold and serviced together as a set. I replaced this set and the dryer failed again. What should I check? This is a strong sign the underlying cause — almost always restricted airflow — was never addressed. 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. Failing to correct a venting issue will cause repetitive failures of this set even when it's brand new. Should I replace the heating element at the same time? It's worth considering if your dryer's heating element (commonly WP8544771 on compatible models) is original and has been running alongside a failing thermostat, since sustained overheating can stress the element as well. It's not required, but since you'll already have the panel open for this repair, it's a reasonable time to inspect the element for visible damage. 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 temperature thresholds and mounting configuration of the original 280148 high-limit thermostat and thermal fuse set used in compatible Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, Roper, and related electric dryers.

Remove the top panel by inserting a putty knife under the front edge to release the spring clips, then lift. Remove the front panel to fully expose the drum. Take a photo of the existing belt routing before removing anything. Release the drive belt from the idler pulley and slide it off the drum. Remove the drum and set it aside. Replace all four drum support rollers — remove the old tri-ring clips with needle-nose pliers, slide the old rollers off the shafts, and install the new WPW10314173 rollers with new tri-rings and the included washer. Replace the idler pulley (279640) by pressing the new wheel onto the idler arm shaft. Route the new 661570V belt around the drum (ribbed side against the drum), under the idler pulley, and around the motor pulley. Reinstall the drum, front panel, and top panel. Restore power and run a test cycle. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife, needle-nose pliers, socket set. Frequently Asked Questions How do I know if the belt in this kit (661570V) fits my dryer? The belt included in this kit is 661570V (93-1/2" long, 1/4" wide, 4-rib). To confirm it is correct for your dryer, look up your dryer's model number in an online parts diagram and check the belt part number listed. If the parts diagram shows 661570V or its cross-reference 661570, this kit's belt is correct. If your diagram shows a different belt part number — for example 341241, W10205415, or WP8547157 — the rollers and idler in this kit will still fit your dryer, but you will need to order the correct belt separately. This is the most important compatibility check before purchasing this kit. Is the idler pulley (279640) a complete arm assembly or just the wheel? The 279640 included in this kit is the pulley wheel only — it does not include the idler arm or bracket. It presses onto the existing idler arm shaft inside your dryer. If the idler arm itself is cracked or broken, the arm assembly will need to be replaced separately. On most Whirlpool 27-inch dryers the arm itself rarely fails — it is the wheel bearing that wears out, which is what the 279640 wheel in this kit addresses. Why should I replace all four rollers instead of just the one that's noisy? All four drum support rollers wear at the same rate through the same number of drying cycles. When one roller starts making noise, the other three have experienced the same wear and are likely close behind. Replacing only the noisy roller leaves three worn rollers supporting the drum unevenly, often leading to a repeat repair within months. Since the dryer is already fully disassembled for this repair, replacing all four at once is the most cost-effective and long-lasting approach. How is the 4392067 kit different from the 4392065 kit? Both are Genuine OEM Whirlpool dryer repair kits but for different dryer platforms. The 4392065 is for older Whirlpool 29-inch dryers with the lint screen on top (contains belt 341241, 2 rollers 349241T, idler pulley 691366). The 4392067 is for newer Whirlpool 27-inch dryers with the lint screen inside the door — typically the Duet, Cabrio, Bravos XL, and Thin Twin platforms (contains belt 661570V, 4 rollers WPW10314173, idler pulley wheel 279640). They are not interchangeable — verify your dryer's lint filter location and model series before ordering. Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part? This is a Genuine OEM kit assembled by Whirlpool to factory specifications. All components — belt, rollers, idler pulley, tri-rings, and washer — are the same parts installed in compatible Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, and related brand 27-inch dryers from the factory.

Genuine OEM WPW10446920 Dryer Push-To-Start Switch The Genuine OEM WPW10446920 is a factory-original push-to-start switch manufactured by Whirlpool for use in Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, Kenmore, Inglis, and other Whirlpool-built dryers that use a momentary push-button start control rather than a pull/rotary start knob. Pressing and releasing the button sends a signal to the timer or control board that begins the drying cycle; the switch itself does not stay latched, so the control electronics — not the switch — keep the dryer running after you let go. When this switch fails, the dryer typically has power (the display and drum lights, if equipped, still work) but pressing Start does nothing, or the button feels mushy and requires several presses to register. As the genuine Whirlpool part, it ships with the exact factory-specified contacts, housing, and three-terminal wiring connector used on original production, so there's no fit or function guesswork. It directly replaces W10446920, 4446934, AP6021533, AWP51175, EAP11754857, OEM18064608, PD00038667, PS11754857. Installs in 15–30 minutes with basic hand tools. Quick Answer The Genuine OEM WPW10446920 Dryer Push-To-Start Switch fixes Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, Kenmore, and Inglis dryers that won't start when the Start button is pressed, even though the dryer otherwise has power.

Access the control panel — on most models this means removing a few screws along the top or rear of the console, or releasing spring clips, and tilting or lifting the panel to expose the back of the start switch. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting. Unplug the 3-terminal wiring connector from the old switch — note the connector orientation. Depress the retaining tabs or remove the mounting screw(s) holding the switch in the control panel and push it out from the back. Install the new WPW10446920 switch into the same opening until it snaps or seats into place. Reconnect the wiring connector, matching your photos. Reassemble the control panel and secure it with its screws or clips. Plug the dryer back in and test by pressing Start — confirm the dryer begins its cycle. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife or flat-blade screwdriver (for spring clips, if applicable). Frequently Asked Questions My dryer has power but won't start when I press the button — is this the part? This is the classic symptom of a failed push-to-start switch. If the display and any lights still work but pressing Start produces no response — not even a click or hum from the motor — the start switch is the most common cause. If you do hear a hum or click but the drum still doesn't turn, also check the thermal fuse and cycling thermostat, since a tripped thermal fuse can sometimes present with similar no-start symptoms. Will this fit my dryer? WPW10446920 and its cross-reference numbers fit a range of Whirlpool-built dryers across several brands, but only models with a push-to-start button — not a rotary or pull-to-start knob. Confirm fit using your dryer's exact model number before ordering, since the two start mechanisms are not interchangeable. Is this a genuine Whirlpool part or an aftermarket equivalent? This is the genuine, factory-original Whirlpool part — not an aftermarket equivalent. It ships with the same contacts, housing, and 3-terminal connector used in original production, so there's no guesswork on fit, feel, or electrical rating. Do I need any special tools to install this? No — just a Phillips screwdriver and, on some models, a putty knife or flat-blade screwdriver to release the control panel's spring clips. No soldering or wire splicing is required; the switch connects via its original 3-terminal plug.

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.

Open the dryer door and locate the worn or broken catch the door latches onto. Pull or pry the old catch free from its mounting position, then press the new catch into the same opening until it snaps firmly into place. Close the door and confirm it latches with a positive click and stays shut. 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. Shop With Confidence A U.S.-based appliance parts retailer specializing in genuine OEM and high-quality replacement parts.

WP3387747 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer Heating Element The WP3387747 is a Genuine OEM Whirlpool replacement dryer heating element assembly compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, Roper, Estate, Crosley, Inglis, Admiral, Jenn-Air, and Magic Chef electric dryers — particularly higher-capacity and newer-generation Duet, Cabrio, HE, and GEW/GEQ series models. The heating element is the primary heat source in an electric dryer — a nickel-chromium resistance coil wound on ceramic insulators inside a steel housing. When the coil burns through, the circuit opens and the dryer produces no heat. When the coil shorts to the housing, the dryer runs too hot or heats continuously after the cycle ends — which is a fire hazard requiring immediate repair. This Genuine OEM part is manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications and is rated at 5200W / 240V with two 5/16" male terminals. Note: Whirlpool updated the wattage of this element from the original 5400W down to 5200W — the WP3387747 at 5200W is the correct current OEM replacement for all compatible models. The thermostat and thermal fuse are not included and should be inspected and replaced separately if needed. It directly replaces 3387747, W11344457, W11045584, 80003, 525502, AP6008281, PS11741416, and additional cross-reference numbers. Installs in 20–45 minutes with basic hand tools. Quick Answer The WP3387747 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer Heating Element fixes electric dryers that produce no heat, run too hot, heat continuously, or take too long to dry. 5200W / 240V, nickel-chromium coil, two 5/16" male terminals.

Compatible with Whirlpool Duet/Cabrio/HE/GEW/GEQ, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, Roper, Estate, Inglis, and more. Common Problems This Part Fixes Dryer produces no heat at all — element coil burned through Dryer takes much longer than normal to dry clothes Dryer tumbles normally but generates no heat during the cycle Dryer overheating or running hotter than normal — coil shorted to housing Dryer continues to heat after the cycle ends — shorted element (fire hazard) Visible break, burn spot, or sagging coil inside the housing Burning smell during operation — arcing at a weak point in the coil Dryer trips the circuit breaker when the heat cycle is selected Replaces Part Numbers This heating element directly replaces the following OEM and cross-reference part numbers: WP3387747, 3387747, 80003, W11045584, W11344457, PD00002365, EAP11741416, AP6008281, AWP47520, FIX11741416, PS11741416, WP3387747VP. Contact our support team with your model number if you need confirmation before ordering. Compatibility This heating element is compatible with select electric dryers only from the following brands and series: Whirlpool electric dryers — Duet (WED8xxx, WED9xxx), Cabrio (WED7xxx), HE series, GEW9xxx, GEQ9xxx, WED4xxx, WED5xxx and more Kenmore / Sears electric dryers — 110 series and Whirlpool-built models (including Kenmore HE2, HE3, Elite HE4, 90 series) Maytag electric dryers — MEDB, MED series Amana electric dryers KitchenAid electric dryers Roper electric dryers Estate electric dryers Crosley electric dryers Inglis electric dryers Admiral electric dryers Jenn-Air electric dryers Magic Chef electric dryers Note: This is for electric dryers only. Gas dryers use a gas burner and do not have a heating element. Also: do not touch the new element's coil wire with bare hands — skin oils degrade the nickel-chromium wire and significantly shorten element life. Handle by the frame and terminals only. Key Features Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit and performance Primary heat source for electric dryers — nickel-chromium resistance coil generates heat for every drying cycle Rated 5200W / 240V — current OEM wattage (updated from original 5400W by Whirlpool) Two 5/16" male terminals — matches original terminal configuration for direct wire connection Metal and ceramic construction — high-temp terminals and ceramic insulators resist heat fatigue Thermostat and thermal fuse are not included — inspect and replace separately if needed Do not touch the coil wire during installation — skin oils degrade nickel-chromium wire Replaces 3387747, W11344457, W11045584, 80003, AP6008281, and PS11741416 Compatible with Whirlpool Duet, Cabrio, HE, GEW/GEQ series and 11 additional brand platforms DIY repair — installs in 20–45 minutes with basic hand tools Product Specifications Part Number WP3387747 Part Type Dryer Heating Element Assembly (Electric) Condition Genuine OEM Application Electric Dryers Only Wattage 5200W (updated from original 5400W — current OEM spec) Voltage 240V AC Coil Material Nickel-chromium resistance wire Terminals Two 5/16" male terminals Material Metal / Ceramic Color Black / Silver Does Not Include Thermostat or thermal fuse — inspect and replace separately Handling Note Do not touch coil wire — skin oils degrade nickel-chromium wire Compatible Brands Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, Roper, Estate, Crosley, Inglis, Admiral, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef Installation Notes ⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Do Not Touch the Coil Wire Disconnect power before beginning. The heating element housing is accessible from the lower front panel of the dryer on most Duet/Cabrio HE models — remove the front kick panel to access the heater housing without fully disassembling the dryer. For other models, remove the back panel. Before touching the new element, review the wiring layout of the old element so you can reconnect wires to the correct terminals. Do not touch the nickel-chromium coil wire with bare hands at any point — skin oils on the wire cause hot spots that will prematurely burn the element. Handle only by the frame, terminals, and housing. Photograph the existing wiring before disconnecting. Disconnect the element terminal wires and the thermostat and thermal fuse wires. Unscrew the housing and remove the old element. Install the new WP3387747 element, reconnect all wiring in the same positions, reinstall the housing and panels, restore power, and run a test heat cycle. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver. Frequently Asked Questions My original element was 5400W but this one is 5200W — is that correct? Yes — Whirlpool intentionally updated the wattage of this heating element from 5400W to 5200W during a design revision. The WP3387747 at 5200W is the current correct OEM replacement for all compatible models that previously used the higher-wattage element. While the wattage is slightly lower, the element is designed to provide equivalent drying performance within the thermal control system of compatible dryers. The updated wattage is by manufacturer design and does not indicate a defect or an incorrect part. How do I test if the heating element has failed? Unplug the dryer and disconnect the element terminals. Set your multimeter to continuity or resistance mode. A working element shows resistance — typically around 9–12 ohms for a 5200W/240V element. An open circuit confirms the coil has burned through. Also test each terminal individually against the metal housing frame — a working element shows no continuity between either terminal and the housing. If continuity exists between a terminal and the housing, the element coil is shorted to ground and must be replaced immediately — do not operate the dryer in this condition. What is the difference between WP3387747 and 279838? Both are Genuine OEM Whirlpool dryer heating elements, but they are for different model generations and are not interchangeable. The 279838 (5400W, 240V) is for standard-capacity Whirlpool-family dryers — many WTW/NED series and standard front-load models. The WP3387747 (5200W, 240V) is for higher-capacity and newer-generation models including Whirlpool Duet, Cabrio, HE, and GEW/GEQ series. Always verify your exact model number to confirm which heating element is correct for your dryer before ordering. Why is it important not to touch the element coil wire? The heating element coil is made of nickel-chromium wire that reaches very high temperatures during operation. Oils from skin contact leave microscopic residue on the wire that creates hot spots when the element heats up — these hot spots cause premature burnout at the contaminated area, often within a few months of installation. Handle the new element by its steel frame, ceramic insulators, and terminals only. If the coil wire is accidentally touched, wipe the contact area with a dry cloth or isopropyl alcohol before installation. 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 assembly installed in compatible Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, and related brand electric dryers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

XPARTCO 279769 Dryer Thermostat Kit The XPARTCO 279769 is an aftermarket replacement thermal cut-off and high-limit thermostat kit for Whirlpool, Kenmore, Roper, KitchenAid, Maytag, Amana, Estate, Crosley, and Admiral electric dryers. This kit bundles two components that guard against overheating at different thresholds: the 3390291 high-limit thermostat (rated L250-80F) monitors internal temperature and interrupts power at approximately 250°F to prevent overheating, then resets itself automatically once the dryer cools — no replacement needed after each trip. The 3977394 thermal cut-off fuse is the backup: rated at 352°F, it's a one-time safety device that permanently opens the circuit if temperatures climb high enough that the thermostat alone didn't prevent an overheat. These two parts are sold together and should be replaced together as a set, since they protect the same circuit and tend to be stressed by the same underlying problem. Whirlpool's own guidance is direct: when the thermal cut-off fails, it usually indicates a venting problem, and failing to correct that airflow issue will cause repetitive failures even with new parts installed. Symptoms include the dryer not heating, clothes coming out extremely hot, or the dryer not running at all. This kit is commonly used alongside heating element 4391960. It directly replaces 279769, 279548, 2796769, 279769VP, 2821, 2004, 3387812, 3389946, 3398671, 3977394, 695563, 80001, SET184, SET198, TJSET198, ET184, AP3094224, AH334278, EA334278, EAP334278, PD00002485, PS334278, WP3390291, AP6008306, 3390291, 696397, and PS11741441. As an aftermarket replacement, the 279769 kit is built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. Quick Answer The XPARTCO 279769 Dryer Thermostat Kit fixes Whirlpool, Kenmore, Roper, KitchenAid, Maytag, Amana, Estate, Crosley, and Admiral electric dryers with no heat, no power at all, or clothes coming out dangerously hot.

Wear work gloves. Access is typically through the rear panel, near the heating element and blower housing where both components are mounted. Photograph the wiring connections before disconnecting anything, since the thermostat and fuse can be easy to swap positions by mistake. Remove each old component from its mounting position, noting orientation, and disconnect its wiring. Before reassembling, 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. When the thermal cut-off fails, it usually indicates a venting problem, and failing to correct that airflow issue will cause repetitive failures even with these new parts installed. Install the new 3390291 thermostat and 3977394 thermal fuse from this kit in the same positions as the parts they replace, reconnecting wiring exactly as photographed. Reassemble the panel, restore power, and run a full test cycle to confirm normal, consistent heating with no premature shutoffs. Tools needed: Phillips or nut driver (model-dependent), work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions My clothes are coming out extremely hot, hot enough to burn my hands. Is this the right kit? Yes, this is a documented symptom this kit addresses. If the high-limit thermostat fails to regulate temperature correctly, the dryer can run far hotter than it should, producing dangerously hot clothing at the end of a cycle. Whirlpool's own parts support has specifically pointed customers with this exact complaint toward this kit. Stop using the dryer if you notice this symptom and replace both components promptly. Why do I need to replace both the thermostat and the fuse together? These two parts protect the same circuit at different thresholds and tend to fail from the same underlying cause. If the high-limit thermostat isn't regulating temperature correctly, the thermal fuse often ends up blowing as the backup safety measure. Replacing only one risks the other failing again shortly after, so they're sold and serviced together as a set. I replaced this kit and the dryer failed again. What should I check? This is a strong sign the underlying cause — almost always restricted airflow — was never addressed. 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. Failing to correct a venting issue will cause repetitive failures of this kit even when it's brand new. Should I replace the heating element at the same time? It's worth considering if your dryer's heating element (commonly 4391960 on compatible models) is original and has been running alongside a failing thermostat, since sustained overheating can stress the element as well. It's not required, but since you'll already have the panel open for this repair, it's a reasonable time to inspect the element for visible damage. 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 temperature thresholds and mounting configuration of the original 279769 high-limit thermostat and thermal cut-off fuse kit used in compatible Whirlpool, Kenmore, Roper, KitchenAid, Maytag, Amana, Estate, Crosley, and Admiral electric dryers.

XPARTCO WE03X37317 - WE03X37318 Dryer Drum Glide Set The XPARTCO WE03X37317 - WE03X37318 is an aftermarket replacement drum glide set for GE and Hotpoint dryers, also used on select Whirlpool and Kenmore dryers and washer-dryer combos. These plastic bearing slides are the wear pads at the front of the dryer that the drum rides on as it turns. As they wear down, the drum no longer sits and rolls smoothly, and the dryer starts to squeak, squeal, or rumble. In worse cases the drum catches or drags, and clothes can get snagged or marked between the drum and the front frame. This set pairs both glide types used on these dryers: the WE03X37317 and the WE03X37318 front bearing slides. Because the slides wear at the same rate, replacing them together restores smooth, quiet drum rotation and avoids a repeat repair. Easy to install, typically 30–60 minutes. Quick Answer The XPARTCO WE03X37317 - WE03X37318 Drum Glide Set fixes a GE or Hotpoint dryer that squeaks, squeals, or rumbles loudly as the drum turns, or whose drum drags or catches. Replaces both the WE03X37317 and WE03X37318 front bearing slides. Classic symptom: a loud squeal or scraping noise from the drum area that gets worse over the cycle, sometimes with marks or snags on clothes. Common Problems This Part Fixes Loud squeaking, squealing, or scraping noise while the drum tumbles Drum not spinning smoothly, or dragging and catching Marks, wrinkles, or snags on clothes from items catching between the drum and the front frame Excessive drum noise during drying cycles Visibly worn, thin, or chewed-up plastic glides at the front of the drum Cross Reference Information Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models.

Remove the top and front panels per your model's service guide to expose the front of the drum, and disconnect any wiring that's in the way. Lift or support the drum enough to reach the worn glides, which are held in place at the front bearing support. Pull out the old glides, noting the position and orientation of each, and fit the new ones in the same positions. Reassemble the dryer and spin the drum by hand to confirm it turns smoothly before restoring power. Replace the glides as a set, since they wear at the same rate. Frequently Asked Questions My dryer squeals or rumbles loudly while tumbling — is this the part I need? Worn drum glides are a very common cause of squeaking and scraping from the drum area. If the plastic glides look thin, grooved, or chewed up, replacing them should quiet the dryer and restore smooth rotation. Also check the drum rollers and idler pulley, which can cause similar noises. Why are there two different part numbers? GE uses two glide types at the front of the drum: glide (WE03X37317) and  glide (WE03X37318). This set covers both, so you can replace the full set in one go. Should I replace all the glides or just the worn ones? Replace them together. The glides wear at about the same rate, so if one is worn the others are usually close behind. Will this fit my Whirlpool or Kenmore dryer? These glides are cross-listed for select Whirlpool and Kenmore dryers and washer-dryer combos as well as GE and Hotpoint.

XPARTCO DC64-00828B Dryer Door Switch The XPARTCO DC64-00828B is an aftermarket replacement dryer door switch (also called a door jamb switch) compatible with a wide range of Samsung and Kenmore Samsung-built electric and gas dryers — including the DV2, DV3, DV4, DV5, DVE, DVG, 592, 401, and 402 series. The door switch is a small safety component mounted near the dryer door frame that detects whether the door is closed. When the door closes, the switch is activated, signaling the control board that the dryer is safe to start or continue running. If the switch fails to detect the closed door, the dryer will not start, will stop mid-cycle, or in rare unsafe failure modes, may continue running with the door open. This switch directly replaces DC64-00828A (the prior version), 2071595, AP4578931, EAP4210965, PS4210965, PS4210964, 2071594, and PD00028436. It is constructed from durable plastic and metal in white, with dimensions of approximately 1.73"L x 1.73"W x 0.47"H. Note: while this switch looks easy to remove, the front panel actually needs to come off to access it cleanly. Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools. Quick Answer The XPARTCO DC64-00828B Dryer Door Switch fixes Samsung and Kenmore Samsung-built dryers that won't start when the door is closed, stop mid-cycle, display error codes dC, dF, dE, or d0, or continue running with the door open.

Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Although the door switch appears easy to access from the front, on most Samsung dryer models the front panel actually needs to be removed to install the new switch cleanly. Unscrew and lift off the front panel — be careful not to drop it during reinstallation. Locate the old door switch mounted near the door frame opening. Photograph the wire connections before disconnecting. Unplug the wire harness from the old switch, release the retaining tabs or remove the mounting screws holding the switch in place, and pull it free. Install the new DC64-00828B switch in the same position, reconnect the wire harness, and reinstall the front panel. Restore power, then close the dryer door and start a cycle to confirm the door is properly detected and the dryer runs normally. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions What do error codes dC, dF, dE, and d0 mean on Samsung dryers? These door-related error codes on Samsung dryers all indicate the control board is not receiving the expected "door closed" signal from the door switch. dC and d0 commonly appear when the dryer cannot detect a closed door at the start of a cycle, while dF and dE appear when the door signal is lost during a cycle. The dryer's safety logic prevents operation under any of these conditions. Replacing a failed DC64-00828B door switch resolves these codes when the switch itself is the cause; if the codes persist after replacement, check the wiring harness between the switch and the control board for damage. My dryer is running with the door open — what should I do? A dryer that continues to run with the door open is a serious safety concern and should be addressed immediately. This usually indicates a failed door switch that is stuck in the "closed" position electrically, even though the door is physically open. Disconnect power to the dryer right away and avoid running it until the switch has been replaced. The DC64-00828B replacement restores normal safety behavior. Until the repair is complete, do not run the dryer. What is the difference between DC64-00828B and DC64-00828A? These are the same door switch across successive production revisions. DC64-00828A was the original part number and DC64-00828B is the current updated version. Both are fully interchangeable — if your dryer's parts diagram shows DC64-00828A, the DC64-00828B is the correct current replacement and is covered by this listing. My dryer suddenly stops mid-cycle even though the door is closed — could this be the switch? Yes — a door switch with intermittent contact failure is a common cause of unexplained mid-cycle shutdowns on Samsung dryers. The switch may be working correctly when first activated but losing its signal momentarily during operation due to vibration or worn internal contacts, causing the control board to interpret a momentary "door open" condition and stop the cycle. If this is happening repeatedly without any other identifiable cause, replacing the DC64-00828B door switch is the recommended fix. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Samsung OEM part, but is manufactured from durable plastic and metal to match the dimensions, switch contacts, and function of the original DC64-00828B dryer door switch.

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 Cross Reference Information Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models. For your convenience, we've included any known superseded, alternate, or cross-reference part numbers that match this item.

If your part number is not listed above, contact our support team before ordering and we will verify compatibility. Compatibility This thermostat kit is compatible with select Whirlpool-built dryers across the Whirlpool family of brands, including: Whirlpool electric and gas dryers — WED series Maytag electric and gas dryers — NED series (select Whirlpool-built models) Admiral, Amana, Crosley, Estate, Inglis, Magic Chef, and Roper dryers (select models) Kenmore and KitchenAid dryers (select Whirlpool-built models) Verified model numbers include: WED6200SW1, NED4600YQ0, NED4600YQ1, NED4655EW1, and LER3624EQ. Note: The wiring set included in this kit is designed for replacing an older-style thermostat that used a wire pressed directly onto the heating element. If your dryer uses the true old-style push-on thermostat and fuse combination (part 3977767), you'll need a different kit (commonly listed as APN197) instead of this one.

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.

WP3392519 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer Thermal Fuse The WP3392519 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM thermal fuse mounted on the blower housing next to the blower fan. This fuse is a one-time safety device: as long as the dryer stays within its normal operating temperature, it does nothing at all, but the instant internal temperatures climb high enough — almost always from restricted airflow — the fuse permanently opens the circuit and cuts power to the dryer. That's why a blown thermal fuse produces such a specific symptom: the dryer won't start at all, with no lights, no tumble, and no response, even though the outlet has power. This fuse opens at approximately 196°F (91°C) and terminates in two 3/16" wire terminals for a direct plug-in fit. Unlike a resettable thermostat, this thermal fuse cannot be reset once it blows — it must be replaced. A blown thermal fuse is almost always a symptom rather than a random failure: restricted exhaust venting is the leading cause, since trapped heat is exactly what the fuse is designed to react to. A shorted heating element or a failed regulating thermostat can also cause the dryer to run hot enough to blow the fuse.

Wear work gloves. Access is typically through the rear panel: remove the screws securing the panel to reach the blower housing where the fuse is mounted. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting the wire terminals from the old fuse. Remove the mounting screw holding the fuse in place and pull it free, disconnecting both wire terminals. Before installing the new fuse, test it for continuity with a multimeter to confirm it's good out of the box, and test the old one to confirm it's actually blown (no continuity) 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 thermal fuse is a symptom of restricted airflow, and skipping this step means the new fuse is likely to blow again. Install the new WP3392519 in the same mounting position, reconnect both wire terminals, and secure the mounting screw. 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 My dryer has no power at all and the lights won't turn on. Is this the thermal fuse? It's a strong possibility. When this thermal fuse blows, it cuts power broadly enough that the console lights and control panel can go completely dark, not just the heating function — that's a normal result of how this fuse is wired into the circuit. Before replacing it, confirm the outlet has power and the breaker hasn't tripped, then check the fuse for continuity with a multimeter. If it shows no continuity, this fuse is the correct fix, though it's also worth checking the exhaust ducting since that's the most common underlying cause. I replaced the fuse and it blew again. What's going on? This is a strong sign that the underlying cause — almost always restricted airflow — was never addressed. Thermal fuses don't fail from age; they blow because the dryer overheated. If a new fuse keeps blowing, 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 fuse still blows, have the heating element and cycling thermostat checked as well, since a component stuck in the "on" position can also drive excess heat. Can I just reset the thermal fuse instead of replacing it? No. Unlike a cycling thermostat, this thermal fuse is a one-time safety device — once it blows, its internal circuit is permanently broken and it cannot be reset or repaired. Replacement is the only option. My clothes came out extremely hot right before the dryer died. Is that related? Yes, this is a classic warning sign. Clothes coming out unusually hot indicates the dryer was already running hotter than normal, which is exactly the condition that leads to a blown thermal fuse. If you noticed this before the dryer stopped working, it strongly points to a ventilation or airflow problem that should be fully addressed before running the dryer again. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original opening temperature, terminal configuration, and mounting position of the thermal fuse originally installed in your dryer.
