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

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting Disconnect power (and shut off gas for gas dryers) before beginning. Remove the lint screen and unscrew the screws inside the lint screen housing. Use a putty knife to release the top panel spring clips and lift the top panel. Remove the front panel to fully access the drum drive components. Release belt tension by pushing the idler pulley arm toward the motor and sliding the belt off. Note how the belt is routed before removing — take a photo. Unclip or unscrew the old idler pulley assembly from its mounting bracket. Install the new 691366 idler pulley in the same position. Re-route the belt around the drum (ribbed side in), under the idler pulley, and around the motor pulley, then release the idler arm to create tension. Reassemble the front and top panels, restore power, and run a test cycle. Tip: while the dryer is open, inspect and replace the drum belt (341241) and drum support rollers (349241T) if worn. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" or 5/16" nut driver, putty knife.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the idler pulley do?
The idler pulley is a spring-loaded arm and wheel assembly that presses against the drive belt between the drum and the motor pulley, keeping the belt under constant tension. This tension is what allows the belt to grip both the drum and the motor pulley without slipping as the motor spins. Without proper tension — or with a pulley bearing that has failed — the belt slips, the drum stops spinning, and the dryer produces heat but does not tumble clothes. A worn bearing also creates the high-pitched squealing sound that is the most common sign of idler pulley failure.
What is the difference between 691366 and WP691366?
These are the same idler pulley assembly. WP691366 is the updated Whirlpool OEM part number that superseded the original 691366. The W10612905 is also a cross-reference for the same assembly. This aftermarket replacement is compatible with all three numbers.
What is the difference between 691366 and W10837240?
Both are Whirlpool dryer idler pulley assemblies, but for different dryer generations. The 691366 (WP691366) is used on older Whirlpool-family dryers with the lint filter on top of the dryer. The W10837240 is a larger, redesigned idler arm and bracket assembly used on newer Whirlpool-family dryers with the lint screen inside the door. They are not interchangeable. Always verify your model number to confirm which idler pulley is correct for your dryer.
Should I also replace the belt and drum rollers at the same time?
Yes — since the dryer must be disassembled to replace the idler pulley, this is the ideal time to also inspect and replace the drum belt (341241) and rear drum support rollers (349241T). All three parts are part of the same drum drive system and wear at similar rates. The 4392065 maintenance kit includes all three together and is the recommended approach for a complete drum drive repair — one teardown covers everything.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured from durable plastic and metal with a ball-bearing pulley wheel to match the dimensions and performance of the original WP691366 idler pulley assembly.

XPARTCO W10849499 Dryer Drum Belt
The XPARTCO W10849499 is an aftermarket replacement drum belt for Whirlpool's large-capacity dryer platform. The belt wraps all the way around the outside of the drum, passes around the idler tension pulley, and loops around the drive motor pulley — that belt is the only mechanical connection between the motor and the drum, so when it breaks, the console still lights up, the motor still hums, and the blower still moves air, but the drum sits completely still. Open the door and spin the drum by hand and it will turn freely with no resistance.
This belt measures approximately 97.75 inches long. Belts fail from age and heat: the rubber hardens over years of thermal cycling, the ribs glaze over and begin slipping under a heavy wet load, and eventually the belt cracks through or snaps outright. A worn or seized idler pulley is also a common root cause of premature belt failure, since a pulley that won't turn freely forces the belt to drag continuously against a stationary surface until it shreds. Squealing or chirping at startup, a rhythmic thump timed to drum rotation, fraying at the edges, or black rubber dust in the cabinet are all signs a belt is near the end of its life. As an aftermarket replacement, the W10849499 is built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It directly replaces AP5989682, 4383705, PS11731121, and W10610882.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO W10849499 Dryer Drum Belt fixes Whirlpool large-capacity dryers where the motor runs but the drum won't turn, the drum spins freely by hand, or the dryer squeals, chirps, or thumps during operation. Approximately 97.75" long. Replaces AP5989682, 4383705, PS11731121, W10610882. If your belt broke due to a worn idler pulley rather than simple age, replace the pulley (PS334244) at the same time or the new belt will wear out quickly too.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer runs and hums but the drum does not turn — the classic broken belt symptom
Drum spins freely by hand with no resistance when the door is open
Loud squealing, chirping, or scraping noise from inside the dryer
Rhythmic thumping or slapping noise timed to drum rotation — cracked or split belt
Drum turns slowly, intermittently, or stalls under a heavy wet load — glazed belt slipping
Clothes not drying completely, or drying taking longer than it used to
Broken belt pieces or fragments found inside the drum
Visible cracking, fraying, glazing, or stretching on the old belt
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.
Replaces Part Numbers
This dryer drum belt directly replaces the following OEM and cross-reference part numbers:

W10610882 was the immediately preceding number for this same belt. If your part number is not listed above, contact our support team before ordering and we will verify compatibility.
Compatibility
This drum belt is compatible with select large-capacity Whirlpool-built dryers across the Whirlpool family of brands, including:
Whirlpool large-capacity electric and gas dryers
Maytag dryers (select Whirlpool-built models)
KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, and Amana dryers (select models)
Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Inglis dryers (select models)
Select Kenmore and Ikea dryers built on the Whirlpool platform
Verified model numbers include: YWED8500DC, YWED8000DW, YWED8500DW, 7MWGD8000E, and 7MWGD8500E.
Note: Whirlpool uses several different drum belt lengths across its dryer lineup, and this one is approximately 97.75" long — different from the shorter belts used on other Whirlpool-built platforms. Belts of a similar rib profile but a different length are not interchangeable; a belt that's too long or short for your drum will slip, walk off the pulley, or fail to seat properly. Verify your model number, or measure your old belt end to end, before ordering. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — A Second Person Helps Support The Drum Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. On a gas model, also close the gas shutoff valve before moving the cabinet. Wear work gloves — sheet metal edges inside the cabinet are sharp. On many large-capacity models, both the front and rear panels need to come off to fully access the belt and drum, so budget extra time compared to a simpler platform. Photograph how the old belt routes around the drum, the idler pulley, and the motor pulley before removing anything. Loosen and remove the motor mount or bracket as needed to slip the old belt free, and check the idler pulley by spinning it with your fingers — if it's stiff, gritty, or doesn't spin freely, replace it at the same time, since a worn pulley is a common cause of premature belt failure and will shorten the life of the new belt. With the front panel off, the drum may need to be supported by hand as it comes free — having a second person hold the drum steady makes this significantly easier and reduces the risk of scratching the drum or dropping it. Vacuum out accumulated lint while the cabinet is open. Place the new belt around the drum, seat it in the polished wear track left by the old belt, then route it around the idler pulley and around the motor pulley. Reinstall the motor mount, rotate the drum by hand to confirm the belt tracks straight and stays centered, then reassemble the front and rear panels. Restore power and run a short empty cycle listening for squeal or thump before loading it. Tools needed: nut driver or bit driver, open-end wrench, Phillips screwdriver, work gloves, and ideally a second person to support the drum.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I confirm the belt is broken and not the motor?
With the dryer unplugged, open the door and try to spin the drum by hand. An intact belt gives firm resistance, because you're turning the motor and idler through the belt. If the drum coasts freely like a bicycle wheel, the belt is broken or has jumped off its pulleys. Sound is the other tell: with a broken belt the motor hums and the blower whooshes normally, so the dryer sounds like it's running perfectly while the drum sits still.
My belt broke and I noticed the idler pulley felt stiff. Do I need to replace that too?
Yes, strongly consider it. A worn or seized idler pulley is a well-documented cause of belt failure — if the pulley can't spin freely, it drags against the belt continuously instead of rolling with it, which wears through even a brand-new belt quickly. If your old belt broke and the pulley feels stiff, gritty, or doesn't spin smoothly when you turn it by hand, replace the idler pulley (part PS334244) along with the belt to avoid repeating this repair soon.
Is this the same length as your other Whirlpool dryer belt listings?
Not necessarily — Whirlpool uses different belt lengths across different dryer platforms even when the rib profile looks similar. This belt is approximately 97.75" long, which is specific to the large-capacity platform it's designed for. Always check your model number or measure your old belt's total length before ordering, since a belt of the wrong length will not seat and tension correctly.
Why does replacing this belt need two people?
On this large-capacity platform, accessing the belt often means removing the front panel and freeing the drum, which is heavy and can be awkward to support single-handedly while also working with your other hand. A second person holding the drum steady while you route the new belt reduces the risk of the drum shifting, scratching the finish, or being dropped. It's not strictly required, but it makes the job considerably easier.
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 approximately 97.75" length and rib profile of the original W10849499 / W10610882 belt used in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, and related large-capacity dryers.

XPARTCO DC96-00887C - DC47-00018A Dryer Thermostat Set
The XPARTCO DC96-00887C / DC47-00018A is an aftermarket replacement 2-piece thermal protection set for Samsung and select Kenmore electric dryers. These two components sit in different locations along the same heating circuit and guard against overheating in different ways. The DC47-00018A is a true cycling high-limit thermostat — it opens at approximately 260°F to cut power to the heating element, then automatically closes again once the temperature drops to around 210°F, letting the dryer resume heating without any part replacement needed. The DC96-00887C, despite frequently being labeled a "thermostat" by third-party sellers, is actually a one-time thermal fuse mounted with its bracket on the blower housing — once it opens from excess heat, it stays open permanently and must be physically replaced.
Because these two parts monitor different points in the same circuit, they tend to be replaced together when a dryer has been running hot: if the high-limit thermostat has been cycling excessively or failed to catch a temperature spike, the downstream thermal fuse can end up blowing as the last line of defense. Symptoms of failure in this circuit include no heat or insufficient heat, drying that takes too long, the dryer shutting off too soon, or the timer failing to advance. It directly replaces DC96-00887A, AP5966894, 2074129, AP4207819, PS4216838, EAP4216838, WP35001193, 35001193, PS11741822, PS11741829, AP6008689 (DC96-00887C); and 35001092, 1122485, AP4201898, PS4205217, EAP2430930, PS2430930, AP6008682, WP35001092 (DC47-00018A).
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO DC96-00887C - DC47-00018A Dryer Thermostat Set fixes Samsung and select Kenmore electric dryers with no heat or insufficient heat, drying that takes too long, premature shutoff, or a timer that won't advance. Set includes the DC47-00018A cycling high-limit thermostat (260°F open / 210°F reset) and the DC96-00887C thermal fuse with bracket. Replaces the full cross-reference sets listed below for both parts. Despite common marketplace labeling, the DC96-00887C is a one-time thermal fuse, not a resettable thermostat — it must be replaced once it blows, while the DC47-00018A resets itself automatically.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Note Which Component Goes Where Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Access is typically through the rear panel, near the blower housing and heater duct assembly where both components are mounted. Photograph the wiring connections before disconnecting anything, since the thermal fuse and thermostat can look similar at a glance and are easy to install in the wrong position. Test each old component with a multimeter for continuity if you want to confirm which has actually failed before replacing both — the DC47-00018A thermostat and DC96-00887C fuse can each be checked this way. Remove each old component from its mounting position, noting orientation and location, and disconnect its wiring. Install the DC47-00018A thermostat and the DC96-00887C fuse (with its bracket) 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), multimeter (recommended), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is DC96-00887C really a thermostat, or something else? Different sellers call it different things.
This is a genuinely common point of confusion in the marketplace, and it's worth clearing up: DC96-00887C is actually a one-time thermal fuse mounted with its bracket on the blower housing, even though many third-party listings label it a "thermostat." The distinction matters for how you diagnose and handle it — once this fuse blows from excess heat, it stays open permanently and must be physically replaced, unlike a true thermostat (like the DC47-00018A in this same set) which resets itself automatically once things cool down.
Why replace both parts together instead of just the one that failed?
These two components sit at different points in the same overheat-protection circuit, and a problem with one often puts stress on the other. If the high-limit thermostat has been cycling excessively or didn't catch a temperature spike in time, the downstream thermal fuse can end up blowing as the last line of defense. Replacing both together addresses the full circuit rather than risking a second failure and a second repair shortly after.
My dryer shuts off before the load is fully dry. Is that this set?
It's a strong possibility. If the high-limit thermostat is tripping prematurely — opening at a lower temperature than it should, or failing to reset properly — the dryer can cut heat and end the cycle early even though the load isn't actually dry yet. This is one of the more common symptoms this thermostat set addresses.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket set?
This is an aftermarket replacement set built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Samsung OEM set, but each component is manufactured to match the electrical specifications, opening/reset temperatures, and mounting configuration of the original DC96-00887C thermal fuse and DC47-00018A high-limit thermostat used in compatible Samsung and Kenmore electric dryers.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator and Shut Off Water Before Starting Unplug the refrigerator and shut off the water supply before beginning. Remove all food and shelving from the freezer compartment. On most compatible models, the evaporator fan is located behind the freezer back panel. Remove the screws securing the freezer back panel and carefully slide it out to expose the evaporator coils and fan assembly. If ice has built up on the fan or coils, use a hair dryer to melt it before attempting to remove the fan — do not force a frozen fan free. Disconnect the 2-pin wire connector from the old motor. Remove the fan blade by pulling it straight off the motor shaft, then unscrew the motor mounting brackets and remove the old motor. Install the new W10464673 motor in the same position, secure the mounting brackets, press the fan blade back onto the shaft, and reconnect the 2-pin connector. Reinstall the freezer back panel, restore power and water, and verify the fan runs when the compressor starts. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, hair dryer (if coils are iced), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the evaporator fan motor do?
The evaporator fan motor drives a fan blade inside the freezer compartment that draws air across the evaporator coils — the cold coils remove heat from the air, and the fan distributes the chilled air throughout both the freezer and fresh food sections via a duct system. Without the evaporator fan running, the evaporator coils still get cold and the compressor still runs, but no cold air is circulated. This causes both compartments to gradually warm up even though the refrigeration system itself may be functioning correctly. A failed evaporator fan motor is one of the most common and most frequently misdiagnosed causes of poor refrigerator cooling.
How do I know if the evaporator fan motor has failed?
Open the freezer door and press the door switch (the small button or tab that tells the refrigerator the door is closed) — this should start the evaporator fan if the compressor is running. If you hear no fan noise and feel no airflow from inside the freezer with the compressor running, the fan motor has likely failed. You can also remove the freezer back panel and physically check whether the fan blade spins freely by hand — if it is stuck or wobbles, inspect for ice buildup or a seized motor bearing. If the blade spins freely but the motor does not run when powered, the motor has burned out.
What is the difference between W10464673 and WPW10464673?
These are the same evaporator fan motor. WPW10464673 is the updated Whirlpool OEM part number that superseded the original W10464673. The 3020513 is also a cross-reference for this same motor. This aftermarket replacement is compatible with all of these numbers.
My freezer is cold but my fridge is warm — could it be the evaporator fan?
Yes — this is a classic evaporator fan failure symptom. When the fan motor fails partially, the freezer may still receive some cold air passively from the evaporator, but not enough air is circulated to reach the fresh food section through the duct system. A failed evaporator fan is frequently the cause of this hot-fridge-cold-freezer pattern. Check the fan as described above — if it is not spinning, replacing the W10464673 motor will restore cooling to both compartments.
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 ABS plastic and metal to match the electrical specifications and shaft dimensions of the original W10464673 evaporator fan motor.

The kit includes the cycling thermostat (WP3387134), thermal fuse (WP3392519), high-limit thermostat and thermal cut-off kit (279816 / W10900067) — the complete set of heat-sensing and safety components that regulate dryer temperature and prevent dangerous overheating.
These four components work together to control and protect the dryer's heating system. When any one of them fails, the dryer may produce no heat, overheat, run too long, or stop mid-cycle. Because a failed thermal fuse is almost always caused by an underlying overheating condition that also stresses the other components, replacing all four together in a single repair is the recommended approach. Includes all wiring hardware needed for installation. Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools.

Compatibility
This thermostat kit is compatible with select gas and electric dryers from the following brands:
Whirlpool dryers (gas and electric)
Kenmore / Sears dryers (Whirlpool-built models)
Maytag dryers (gas and electric)
Amana dryers
KitchenAid dryers
Roper dryers
Admiral dryers
Estate dryers
Crosley dryers
Inglis dryers
Magic Chef dryers
Important: If your thermal fuse has blown, always check for the root cause before replacing — a clogged exhaust vent is the most common cause of dryer overheating. Clean the full length of the exhaust duct before or after this repair. If the vent is clear, a failed cycling thermostat or high-limit thermostat is likely the root cause.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer and Shut Off Gas Before Starting Disconnect power (and shut off gas for gas dryers) before beginning. Remove the back panel of the dryer to access the heating element housing and exhaust duct. The thermal fuse (WP3392519) and cycling thermostat (WP3387134) are located on the exhaust duct or blower housing — disconnect the wires, unscrew the mounting screws, and install the new parts in the same positions. The high-limit thermostat and thermal cut-off (279816 kit) are located on the heating element housing — disconnect the wires and unscrew the mounting screws to remove the old parts and install the new ones. Reconnect all wires to the correct terminals — take a photo before disconnecting to reference during reinstallation. Reassemble the back panel, restore power, and run a test cycle to verify heat. Tip: Before running the dryer, also clean the full length of the exhaust duct — a clogged vent is the most common root cause of dryer overheating and repeated thermal fuse failures. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does each part in this kit do?
The cycling thermostat (WP3387134) monitors the air temperature in the exhaust duct and cycles the heating element on and off to maintain the correct drying temperature — it is the part that controls how hot the dryer gets during normal operation. The thermal fuse (WP3392519) is a one-time safety device that permanently cuts power to the heating element if the dryer overheats above 196°F — it is the most common cause of no-heat in Whirlpool-family dryers. The high-limit thermostat opens at approximately 250°F to cut heating element power if temperature gets too high, and resets automatically when it cools. The thermal cut-off is a backup one-time fuse on the heating element that opens at 309°F if the high-limit thermostat fails to protect the heater.
Why should I replace all four parts instead of just the one that failed?
When a thermal fuse blows, it almost always blew because the dryer overheated — and that overheating event put significant stress on all the other thermal components as well. A failing cycling thermostat is the most common cause of repeated thermal fuse failures: if the cycling thermostat stops regulating temperature correctly, the dryer runs too hot, the high-limit thermostat is repeatedly stressed, and the thermal fuse eventually blows. Replacing just the fuse without replacing the cycling thermostat means the same overheating will blow the new fuse. Replacing all four parts at once eliminates that risk in a single repair.
How do I test these parts with a multimeter?
Set the multimeter to continuity or resistance mode. The thermal fuse (WP3392519), cycling thermostat (WP3387134), and high-limit thermostat should all show closed continuity (near-zero resistance) at room temperature. The thermal cut-off should also show closed continuity at room temperature. Any part that reads open (no continuity / infinite resistance) at room temperature has failed and needs to be replaced. A blown thermal fuse or cut-off will always read open — they are one-time devices and cannot reset.
What causes the thermal fuse to blow repeatedly?
The most common cause by far is a clogged exhaust vent — lint accumulation inside the dryer duct restricts airflow, causing heat to build up inside the dryer cabinet until the thermal fuse trips. Always clean the full length of the exhaust duct before and after replacing these parts. Other causes include a failing cycling thermostat that is not regulating temperature correctly, a stuck heating element relay, or a dryer placed in an enclosed space without adequate ventilation.
Is this kit compatible with both electric and gas dryers?
Yes — the XP6974 kit is compatible with both electric and gas Whirlpool-family dryers. Both types use the same cycling thermostat (WP3387134) and thermal fuse (WP3392519). The high-limit thermostat and thermal cut-off (279816 kit) are located on the heating element in electric models and on the burner assembly area in gas models. Always verify your specific model number before ordering to confirm all four parts apply to your dryer.
