XPARTCO DC97-16350V Washer Suspension Rod Kit (Set of 4) The XPARTCO DC97-16350V is an aftermarket replacement washer suspension rod kit (set of 4) compatible with select Samsung top-load washers in the WA48, WA50, WA52, and WA54 series. The suspension rods are spring-loaded shock-absorbing rods that connect the outer tub to the top of the washer cabinet, suspending the tub and dampening the vibrations generated during agitation and high-speed spin cycles. All four rods work together to keep the tub centered and stable — when one or more rods weaken, break, or lose their spring tension, the tub swings off-center and strikes the cabinet walls, causing violent shaking, banging, error code dc (out of balance), UE imbalance errors, and progressive damage to the washer cabinet and internal components. Each rod is 27.5 inches in overall length and is constructed from spring steel with a plastic top cap and bottom cup that clip into the tub and cabinet mounting points. The kit includes all 4 suspension rods — always replace all four at the same time since the rods wear at the same rate. Installs in 20–30 minutes — no special tools required. Note: rods are coated with grease — wear gloves during installation. Quick Answer The XPARTCO DC97-16350V Washer Suspension Rod Kit fixes Samsung top-load washers that vibrate violently, bang loudly, walk across the floor, display dc or UE imbalance error codes, or stop mid-cycle during spin. Set of 4 rods, 27.5" overall length, spring steel. Replace all 4 at the same time. Wear gloves — rods are greased. Compatible with Samsung WA48, WA50, WA52, and WA54 series.

Wear work gloves throughout — the suspension rods are coated with grease. Remove the lid of the washer and the top panel (typically secured by screws under the lid hinge covers and at the rear corners). With the top panel removed, the four suspension rods are visible, each running from a mounting point on the tub rim up to a hook or bracket at the top corners of the cabinet frame. Note the orientation and attachment method of each rod before removing. Unhook the top of the old rod from the cabinet bracket and lift the bottom cup off the tub mounting pin. Install each new DC97-16350V rod by seating the bottom cup onto the tub mounting pin and hooking the top over the cabinet bracket. Replace all four rods before reassembling. Reinstall the top panel and lid, restore power and water, then run a spin cycle to verify smooth, stable operation. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver; no special tools required for the rods themselves. Frequently Asked Questions What do the suspension rods do? The suspension rods are spring-loaded shock absorbers that hang the outer washer tub from the top corners of the cabinet frame. They suspend the tub in the center of the cabinet and absorb the vibrations and movement generated during agitation and high-speed spin cycles. As long as all four rods have equal spring tension, the tub stays centered and stable. When one or more rods lose tension, stretch, or break, the tub is no longer held evenly and begins to swing off-center during spin — striking the cabinet walls, causing the loud banging, vibration, and imbalance error codes that indicate the rods need replacement. Why must I replace all 4 rods instead of just the broken one? All four suspension rods experience the same amount of wear over the same number of wash cycles. When one rod fails, the remaining three have experienced the same stress and fatigue and are likely to fail soon after. Replacing only the broken rod leaves three worn rods supporting the tub unevenly, which can cause the new rod to wear faster and may not fully resolve the vibration problem. Replacing all four at the same time ensures even tub support, fully resolves the imbalance, and prevents a repeat repair in the near future. What do error codes dc and UE mean on Samsung washers? On Samsung top-load washers, error code dc (or sometimes dC) means the washer has detected an out-of-balance condition during the spin cycle and has stopped to prevent damage. Error code UE means an unbalanced load that the machine cannot automatically correct by redistributing. Both codes can be caused by an actual overloaded or unevenly distributed laundry load — but if the errors occur frequently even with normal loads and proper load distribution, worn or broken suspension rods are the most common mechanical cause. Replacing the rod kit resolves these errors in most cases. How is the DC97-16350V different from DC97-16350U or DC97-16350S? The DC97-16350V, DC97-16350U, and DC97-16350S are all Samsung suspension rods, but they have different lengths for different washer model generations and capacities. The DC97-16350V is 27.5 inches long and is used on larger-capacity WA48–WA54 series Samsung washers. The DC97-16350U is approximately 26.4 inches and is used on mid-capacity WA45–WA50 series models. The DC97-16350S and DC97-16350C are shorter versions for earlier or smaller-capacity models. Using the wrong length rod can cause the tub to sit at the incorrect height inside the cabinet. Always verify your model number before ordering to confirm the correct rod length. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement kit built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Samsung OEM part, but is manufactured from spring steel with plastic end caps to match the length and spring tension of the original DC97-16350V suspension rods.

The condenser fan motor is located near the compressor at the rear bottom of the refrigerator. It circulates air across the condenser coils to dissipate heat from the hot refrigerant before it returns to the evaporator — this is an essential step in the refrigeration cycle. Without the condenser fan running, heat builds up around the compressor and condenser coils, causing the refrigerator to run continuously, cool inefficiently, or trip the compressor's thermal overload protection.

Pull the refrigerator away from the wall to access the rear lower back panel. Remove the screws securing the back panel to expose the compressor, condenser coils, and condenser fan assembly. The condenser fan motor is mounted on a bracket near the compressor with the fan blade facing the condenser coil. Take a photo of the wire connector orientation before disconnecting. Disconnect the 4-pin wire connector from the motor. Remove the mounting screws securing the motor to the bracket and slide the old motor out. Note the orientation of the fan blade on the motor shaft — the blade must be reinstalled in the same direction on the new motor (or transferred from the old motor if the new motor does not include a blade). Install the new WR60X10209 motor, reconnect the wire connector, reinstall the back panel, restore power, and confirm the condenser fan spins when the compressor starts. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver. Frequently Asked Questions What does the condenser fan motor do in a refrigerator? The condenser fan motor drives a fan blade that circulates ambient air across the condenser coils at the rear of the refrigerator. The condenser coils carry hot high-pressure refrigerant that has just been compressed — the fan removes heat from the refrigerant so it can cool, condense, and return to the evaporator to absorb heat from inside the refrigerator. Without the condenser fan running, heat builds up around the compressor and coils, causing the refrigerator to lose cooling efficiency, run continuously, or — in severe cases — trip the compressor's thermal overload and shut down entirely. Why does this motor use DC voltage instead of AC? Modern GE refrigerators use DC motors for the condenser fan because they are more energy-efficient, quieter, and easier to speed-control by the refrigerator's electronic control board than traditional AC motors. The refrigerator's main control board converts household 120V AC power to 11.3V DC to supply the condenser fan motor. This DC motor runs at a variable speed under board control, which allows GE's refrigerators to optimize fan speed based on cooling demand. How do I confirm the condenser fan motor has failed? Pull the refrigerator away from the wall, unplug it, and remove the rear lower panel. Spin the condenser fan blade by hand — if it is stiff, wobbles, or seizes, the motor bearing has failed. If the blade spins freely but the motor does not run when the refrigerator is plugged in and the compressor starts, check for DC voltage at the motor connector using a multimeter. If the board is supplying approximately 11–12V DC to the motor but the motor is not running, the motor has failed electrically. If no voltage is present, the control board may not be supplying power — a less common but possible failure mode. Does this motor come with the fan blade? The WR60X10209 is the motor only — the fan blade is typically not included and should be transferred from the old motor. When removing the old motor, carefully pull the fan blade off the motor shaft (it presses on — no hardware is typically needed). Press the blade onto the new motor shaft in the same orientation. If the fan blade is cracked or damaged, it should be replaced separately. Installing the blade in the wrong direction will reverse the airflow direction and reduce cooling efficiency. Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part? This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by GE to factory specifications. It is the exact same DC condenser fan motor installed in compatible GE, Hotpoint, and related brand refrigerators from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

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.

XPARTCO W10734521 Washer Clutch Slider Kit The XPARTCO W10734521 is an aftermarket replacement washer clutch slider kit compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Amana, Crosley, Estate, Jenn-Air, Roper, Magic Chef, Admiral, and Kirkland HE top-load washers. The clutch slider kit is part of the drive system that engages and disengages the inner tub from the gearcase — it's responsible for transitioning the washer between agitation and spin modes. The slider gear works together with the electromagnetic clutch and gearcase to move the inner tub during the wash and spin portions of every cycle. When the slider or its spring fails, the washer typically won't spin properly, won't agitate, makes grinding noise, or leaves clothes soaking wet at the end of a cycle. This kit includes the slider, spring support, 30mm spiral, and bolt. Slider dimensions: 2-7/8" outer diameter x 7/8" deep. Support spring: 1-5/8" outer diameter x 1-1/8" long. Spiral: 1-5/16" outer diameter. Bolt: 7/8" head diameter x 1" high. Construction is metal and plastic in black, white, and gray. Important: this is the slider kit only — it does NOT include the electromagnetic clutch (sold separately as W10754448). The current W10734521 part number supersedes the earlier W10006484, W10006494, W10275082, W10447975, and W10905025. It also replaces 3452506, AP5952873, EAP10060062, PD00025495, and PS10060062. Installs in 60–90 minutes with basic hand tools. Quick Answer The XPARTCO W10734521 Washer Clutch Slider Kit fixes Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, KitchenAid, and related HE top-load washers that won't spin or agitate properly, won't transition between cycle phases, leave clothes soaking wet, or make grinding noise during the spin cycle.

Place towels under the washer — some residual water may spill from hoses during disassembly. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Unthread the hot and cold water supply hoses from the inlet valve ports. Disconnect the drain hose from the outlet port using channel-lock pliers to release the spring clamp. Carefully tip the washer onto its side or back on a padded surface to access the underside. Disconnect the wiring harnesses to the drive motor and pull the rotor free — be prepared for some resistance, as the permanent magnets in the rotor require some effort to remove. Use a small awl inserted between the slider gear teeth to release the spring retainer. With the retainer released, pull off the old spring and slider gear. Note the orientation of the slider — teeth facing outward. Install the new W10734521 components in sequence: slide the new slider gear onto the drive assembly shaft with teeth facing outward, install the new spring support and 30mm spiral, and secure with the new bolt. Reinstall the rotor (the magnets will pull it into place), reconnect the wiring harnesses, return the washer to upright, reconnect supply hoses and drain hose, restore power and water, and test the spin cycle for proper function. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, socket set, channel-lock pliers, small awl, padded surface for tipping, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions What's the difference between W10734521 and W10754448? These are two different parts in the same drive system. The W10734521 is the clutch slider kit — it includes the slider gear, spring support, spiral, and bolt that physically engage/disengage the inner tub from the gearcase to transition between agitation and spin modes. The W10754448 is the electromagnetic clutch itself — the electrical component that drives the engagement. Both can fail independently, and many repair scenarios call for replacing both at the same time since they work together. Confirm exactly which component has failed before ordering, or order both if you're rebuilding the drive system as a full repair. My washer won't spin — is it the slider or something else? A washer that won't spin can have several causes: a failed slider kit, a failed electromagnetic clutch (W10754448), a damaged drive belt, a failed motor or rotor, a broken lid switch, or — on some models — a failed gearcase. The slider kit is one of the more common causes when the symptom is "fills and drains but won't spin" with no obvious noise or burning smell. Before replacing the slider, check that the lid latch strike (W11457841 on some models) is engaging properly, the drive belt is intact, and the motor is functioning. If those check out and the slider gear shows visible wear, missing teeth, or a stretched spring, the W10734521 kit is the right repair. Should I replace all parts in the kit together? Yes — for the kit to perform as designed, all components should be replaced as a matched set. The slider, spring support, spiral, and bolt all work together — if one is worn, the others have typically experienced the same load and wear. Reusing old components alongside new ones can cause premature failure of the new parts and a repeat repair. The W10734521 kit is priced and packaged for a complete replacement, so install all four pieces during your repair. What is the difference between W10734521 and the older part numbers it replaces? W10734521 is the current production version of this slider kit. It directly supersedes W10006484, W10006494, W10275082, W10447975, and W10905025 — all of which were earlier OEM part numbers for variations of the same slider kit across production revisions. Whirlpool consolidated these into the W10734521 to streamline the parts catalog. If your washer's parts diagram shows any of these older numbers, the W10734521 is the correct current replacement. 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 metal and plastic to match the dimensions, gear profile, and drive engagement function of the original W10734521 clutch slider kit used in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, and related HE top-load washers.

XPARTCO W10613606 Refrigerator Compressor Start Relay and Capacitor The XPARTCO W10613606 is an aftermarket replacement compressor start relay and capacitor assembly compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Jenn-Air, Admiral, Crosley, Dacor, Hardwick, Inglis, Litton, and Magic Chef refrigerators. The start relay is a small but critical electrical component that plugs directly onto the compressor terminals and provides the initial power surge needed to start the compressor motor. Once the compressor reaches operating speed, the relay drops out — leaving the compressor to run on its own. The capacitor (rated 15µF ±5%, 250VAC) works alongside the relay to store and release the burst of electrical energy needed on startup. When the start relay fails, the compressor cannot start — causing the refrigerator to stop cooling entirely. A failed relay typically produces a clicking sound every few minutes as the compressor tries and fails to start, followed by a short rest, then another attempt. This kit includes both the start relay and the CBB61 capacitor. It directly replaces W10416065, 8208290, 8208368, C8931605, 67003186, 67005560, 67005561, 67005562, 67003764, 8171210, and several additional cross-reference numbers. Installs in under 15 minutes — no tools required in most cases. Quick Answer The XPARTCO W10613606 Refrigerator Compressor Start Relay and Capacitor fixes refrigerators that are not cooling, are too warm, or are making a repeated clicking sound every few minutes as the compressor tries to start.

Move the refrigerator away from the wall to access the rear or lower back panel. Remove the rear access panel by unscrewing the retaining screws to expose the compressor. The compressor is a large black dome-shaped component — the start relay and capacitor assembly plugs onto the side terminals. Grip the old relay firmly and pull it straight off the compressor pins. Shake it — if it rattles, the internal contacts have failed and replacement is confirmed. Compare the old relay to the new W10613606 to confirm the terminal layout matches. Align the new relay with the compressor pins and press it firmly on. Reinstall the access panel, restore power, and listen for the compressor to start and run normally within a few minutes. Note: Some models may require trimming the wire connector tabs or reversing the connector orientation for a proper fit — do not force the connection. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver (for panel access only). Frequently Asked Questions What does the compressor start relay do? The start relay plugs onto the compressor terminals and provides the brief but powerful surge of electrical current needed to start the compressor motor from a standstill. Once the compressor reaches operating speed — usually within a second or two — the relay drops out and the compressor runs on its own. Without a working start relay, the compressor cannot start at all, and the refrigerator stops cooling. The capacitor works alongside the relay to store and deliver the extra energy needed on startup. How do I know if my start relay has failed? The most reliable quick test is the rattle test: unplug the refrigerator, pull the start relay off the compressor, and shake it near your ear. A working relay is silent. A failed relay will rattle — the internal contacts have broken free and are loose inside the casing. Another sign is a repeated clicking sound every 2–5 minutes from the back of the refrigerator, where the compressor attempts to start, fails, trips the overload protector, rests, and tries again. If the fridge is warm and you hear clicking, check the relay first. What is the difference between the start relay and the capacitor? The start relay is the switching device that connects and disconnects the start winding of the compressor motor during startup. The capacitor stores a charge and releases it during startup to give the motor the additional torque it needs to get moving under load. Together they work as a startup system for the compressor. This kit includes both — replacing both at the same time ensures the complete startup circuit is fresh and reliable. My fridge is still not cooling after replacing the start relay — what else could it be? If replacing the start relay does not restore cooling, other possible causes include a failed compressor (the compressor runs but no longer builds pressure), a refrigerant leak in the sealed system, a failed start capacitor (if not replaced along with the relay), a bad overload protector, or a faulty main control board. Listen carefully after installing the new relay — if the compressor now starts and runs but the fridge still doesn't cool after several hours, a sealed system issue or refrigerant problem is likely and will require a certified technician. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured to match the electrical specifications and terminal configuration of the original W10613606 start relay and capacitor assembly.

XPARTCO DG34-00025C Range Switch Membrane (Touchpad) The XPARTCO DG34-00025C is an aftermarket replacement membrane switch touchpad for Samsung gas ranges. This is the keypad panel itself — the touch-sensitive overlay you press to select temperature, set the time, and choose oven or cooktop functions. When you press a button, the membrane switch reads that touch and transmits the signal to the range's main control board, which then activates the corresponding function. This touchpad doesn't process or execute anything on its own — it's purely the physical interface between your finger and the electronics behind the panel. Because of that division of labor, a failing membrane switch produces a distinct pattern that's easy to tell apart from a control board failure: individual buttons or specific functions stop responding while the rest of the panel, including the clock and display, keeps working normally. If instead the entire display goes blank or the whole panel becomes unresponsive at once, that points to the range's main control board rather than this touchpad — for example, our DE92-02588G listing, which serves some of the same NX58R4311 models this touchpad fits. It directly replaces 4963022, AP6885265, PS12721647, and EAP12721647. As an aftermarket replacement, the DG34-00025C is built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. Quick Answer The XPARTCO DG34-00025C Range Switch Membrane (Touchpad) fixes Samsung gas ranges where certain buttons don't respond, specific functions can't be selected, or the panel behaves erratically — while the clock, display, and other buttons keep working normally. Replaces 4963022, AP6885265, PS12721647, EAP12721647. If the entire display is blank or completely unresponsive, the problem is more likely the main control board rather than this touchpad. Common Problems This Part Fixes Certain buttons on the control panel don't respond when pressed Specific cooking functions or modes can't be selected Panel behaves erratically — registers presses inconsistently or activates the wrong function Some buttons work fine while others are unresponsive or intermittent Touchpad requires repeated presses to register a command Visible wear, cracking, or bubbling on the touchpad overlay surface Buttons that used to work reliably have become inconsistent over time 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 range switch membrane touchpad directly replaces the following OEM and cross-reference part numbers: DG34-00025C, 4963022, AP6885265, ASM608484, EAP12721647, PD00066594, PS12721647. If your part number is not listed above, contact our support team before ordering and we will verify compatibility. Compatibility This switch membrane touchpad is compatible with select Samsung gas ranges, including model numbers such as: NX58R4311SS/AA, NX58R4311SS/AA-00, NX58R4311SS/AA-01 NX58R4311SG/AA, NX58R4311SG/AA-00, NX58R4311SG/AA-01, NX58R4311SG/AA-02 Note: Samsung uses several similarly-numbered membrane switch touchpads across its range lineup — including DG34-00025A (for NX58F5300SS/NX58F5500SS/NX58F5500SB), DG34-00027B (for NX58H5600SS/NX58J5600SG/NX58F5700WS/NX58M5600SB), DG34-00020A (for NE594R0/NE59J3420/NE59J3421), and DG96-00850E/DG96-00850H (for NX60A6111/NE63A6511) — each for different model groups and not interchangeable with this one.

Key Features Aftermarket replacement built to match Samsung's factory-specified button layout and overlay material Touch-sensitive keypad interface that transmits button signals to the main control board Resolves "certain buttons unresponsive," "can't select specific functions," and "erratic panel behavior" symptoms caused by a worn or damaged membrane Waterproof overlay construction for durability against spills and cleaning Direct drop-in replacement — matches the original control panel mounting Replaces 4963022, AP6885265, PS12721647, and EAP12721647 Aftermarket replacement built to OEM-equivalent quality standards Straightforward DIY repair with basic tools Product Specifications Part Number DG34-00025C OEM Part Number DG34-00025C Part Type Range Switch Membrane (Touchpad) Condition Aftermarket Replacement Brand Samsung Application Gas Ranges Color Black Construction Waterproof overlay Function Touch-sensitive keypad interface; passes button signals to the main control board Quantity 1 switch membrane touchpad Compatible Brand Samsung Installation Notes ⚠️ Unplug Range Or Shut Off Breaker Before Starting — Small Parts, Keep Away From Children Unplug the range or shut off the house circuit breaker before beginning to avoid electrical hazards. Wear work gloves. This part includes small components — keep them away from young children during installation. Access is typically through the front of the control panel: remove the screws or clips securing the panel trim, then carefully separate the old touchpad overlay from its mounting surface, since some models use an adhesive backing that may require gentle, even pressure to release cleanly without damaging the surrounding panel. Photograph the ribbon cable or connector routing before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the touchpad's ribbon cable or connector from the control board, and remove the old membrane switch fully. Position the new DG34-00025C so its buttons align correctly with the control panel cutout, press it into place evenly to seat any adhesive backing, and reconnect the ribbon cable or connector to the control board. Reinstall the panel trim and its screws or clips. Restore power and test every button on the touchpad to confirm each one now responds correctly. Tools needed: Phillips or flat-blade screwdriver (model-dependent), work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions Some buttons work but others don't. Is this the right part? Yes, this is the classic symptom this touchpad addresses. Because the membrane switch is purely the physical button interface, individual sections of it can wear out or fail independently, leaving some buttons responsive while others stop working. If your clock, display, and some functions still work normally but specific buttons or settings don't respond, this touchpad — not the main control board — is the most likely cause. My whole display is blank and nothing on the panel responds. Do I need this part? Probably not. A completely blank or entirely unresponsive display points to the main control board rather than this touchpad, since the touchpad itself has no display and can't cause a total blackout on its own. This touchpad is the correct part specifically when some buttons or functions fail while the rest of the panel, including the display, continues working. Our DE92-02588G control board listing covers some of the same models this touchpad fits, in case that's the part you actually need. How do I know which specific membrane switch touchpad my range needs? Samsung uses several different touchpads that look similar but serve different model groups — always check your full model number before ordering. This DG34-00025C fits NX58R4311SS and NX58R4311SG specifically; other Samsung ranges use different part numbers such as DG34-00025A, DG34-00027B, DG34-00020A, or DG96-00850E/DG96-00850H. Contact our support team with your model number if you want to confirm before ordering. 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 to match the button layout, overlay material, and mounting configuration of the original DG34-00025C switch membrane used in compatible Samsung gas ranges.

WPW10327249 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dishwasher Water Valve The WPW10327249 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM water inlet valve for Whirlpool, Kenmore, KitchenAid, and Maytag dishwashers, mounted on the right-hand side of the dishwasher's interior behind the front kick plate. This valve regulates the flow of water into the appliance during each cycle, opening to admit water from the household supply and closing once the correct amount has entered, which is essential to proper filling and efficient operation. Over time, mineral or sediment buildup inside the valve body, or general electrical wear in the solenoid, can cause the valve to fail. A failing valve produces a clear set of symptoms: the dishwasher not filling with water at all, water filling inconsistently or too slowly, leaking, or overfilling. It directly replaces AP6019618, W10316814, W10327249, W11130743, WPW10327249VP, 3015511, PS11752927, and W11669945. Quick Answer The WPW10327249 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dishwasher Water Valve fixes Whirlpool, Kenmore, KitchenAid, and Maytag dishwashers that won't fill with water, fill inconsistently, leak, or overfill. Located on the right-hand side of the dishwasher interior. Replaces W10327249, W10316814, W11130743, 3015511, WPW10327249VP, AP6019618, AWP49829, PD00002758, PS11752927. While the dishwasher is disassembled for this repair, consider also checking or replacing the water supply adapter (W10685193), since it's in the same area and easy to inspect at the same time. Common Problems This Part Fixes Dishwasher not filling with water at all Water filling inconsistently or too slowly Dishwasher leaking near the valve area Dishwasher overfilling Cycle stalling at the fill step and never advancing to wash 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 dishwasher water valve directly replaces the following OEM and cross-reference part numbers: WPW10327249, W10327249, W10316814, W11130743, 3015511, WPW10327249VP, AP6019618, AWP49829, PD00002758, PS11752927 If your part number is not listed above, contact our support team before ordering and we will verify compatibility. Compatibility This water valve is compatible with select Whirlpool dishwashers, and also fits select Kenmore, KitchenAid, and Maytag dishwashers built on the Whirlpool platform, including model numbers such as WDT750SAHZ, WDTA50SAHZ, WDT710PAYM, MDB4949SDM, and MDB4949SHZ. Note: Always verify your full model number before ordering, since similar-looking dishwasher water valves can vary in size or shape between models. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure. Key Features Genuine Whirlpool OEM part — factory-specified solenoid design and flow rate Regulates water flow into the dishwasher during each fill cycle Resolves "won't fill," "fills inconsistently," "leaking," and "overfilling" symptoms caused by valve failure Direct drop-in replacement — matches the original mounting and hose connections Replaces W10327249, W10316814, W11130743, 3015511, WPW10327249VP, AP6019618, AWP49829, PD00002758, PS11752927 Compatible with Whirlpool, Kenmore, KitchenAid, and Maytag dishwashers Genuine OEM replacement — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance Novice-friendly repair with basic hand tools Product Specifications Part Number WPW10327249 Part Type Dishwasher Water Inlet Valve Condition Genuine OEM Brand Whirlpool Location Right-hand side of the dishwasher interior, behind the front kick plate Color Blue Water Line Connections Two 3/8" lines Repair Difficulty Medium — basic appliance repair skills Quantity 1 valve Compatible Brands Whirlpool, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Maytag Installation Notes ⚠️ Unplug Dishwasher And Shut Off Water Supply Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker, and shut off the water supply at the shutoff valve located behind the dishwasher before beginning. Wear work gloves. Remove the bottom front kick plate by pulling outward on the two clips located at either side of the bottom panel. Locate the water inlet valve on the right-hand side of the dishwasher interior. Disconnect the two 3/8" water lines from the old valve. Unscrew the mounting screws holding the valve in place, and carefully pull the old valve away from the dishwasher. Insert the new WPW10327249 into the dishwasher, making sure it's securely positioned, and secure it with the mounting screws. Reconnect both water lines to the new valve. While you're in this area, it's worth inspecting the water supply adapter for wear, since it's a related part in the same location that's easy to check while everything is already accessible. Turn the water supply back on and plug the dishwasher back into the power source. Run a test cycle to confirm the dishwasher fills correctly with no leaks. Tools needed: multi-screwdriver, standard pliers, adjustable wrench, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions My dishwasher isn't filling with water at all. Is this the right part? Yes, this is the most direct symptom of a failed water inlet valve. Since this valve is what admits water from your household supply into the dishwasher, a solenoid failure or internal blockage can prevent any water from entering at all, stopping the wash cycle from proceeding. Should I check or replace the water supply adapter while I have the dishwasher open? It's a reasonable idea, since the water supply adapter is a related component located in the same general area and is easy to inspect while you already have access. It doesn't need to be replaced automatically, but checking its condition at the same time can save you from needing to open the dishwasher back up again soon after if it's also showing wear. My dishwasher is leaking near the valve. Could hard water be a factor? Yes, mineral and sediment buildup from hard water is a common contributor to valve failure over time, since it interferes with the valve's ability to seal and shut off properly. Using a dishwasher cleaner periodically to help reduce limescale buildup can support the longevity of the new valve, though it isn't a substitute for replacing a valve that has already failed. 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 solenoid design, flow rate, and connection type of the water inlet valve originally installed in your dishwasher.

XPARTCO XP6974 Dryer Thermostat Kit Replaces WP3387134, WP3392519, W10900067, 279816 The XPARTCO XP6974 is an aftermarket dryer thermostat kit containing four thermal components for Whirlpool-family electric and gas dryers including Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, Roper, Admiral, Estate, Crosley, Inglis, and Magic Chef. 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. Quick Answer The XPARTCO XP6974 Dryer Thermostat Kit fixes Whirlpool-family dryers that produce no heat, overheat, take too long to dry, or stop mid-cycle. Includes all four thermal components: cycling thermostat (L155-25), thermal fuse (196°F), high-limit thermostat (L250-80), and thermal cut-off (309°F). Compatible with Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, Roper, Admiral, Estate, Crosley, Inglis, and Magic Chef electric and gas dryers. Common Problems This Kit Fixes Dryer produces no heat — thermal fuse or high-limit thermostat has blown Dryer takes multiple cycles or very long time to dry clothes Dryer overheats — clothes or drum too hot to touch after a cycle Dryer shuts off mid-cycle and will not restart Dryer tumbles normally but generates no heat at all Dryer runs too long because cycling thermostat is not regulating temperature Repeated thermal fuse failures — underlying thermostat fault causing recurring overheating What's in the Kit Part 1 of 4 WP3387134 Cycling Thermostat Rated L155-25 · Monitors drum air temperature and cycles the heating element on and off to maintain the set drying temperature · Located on the exhaust duct or blower housing · Should show closed continuity at room temperature Part 2 of 4 WP3392519 Thermal Fuse Opens at 196°F (91°C) · One-time safety device located on the exhaust duct · Permanently interrupts power to the heating element if the dryer overheats · Cannot be reset — must be replaced if blown · Most common cause of no-heat in Whirlpool-family dryers Part 3 of 4 High-Limit Thermostat (279816 / W10900067) Rated L250-80 · Mounted on the heating element housing · Opens at approximately 250°F to cut power to the heating element if temperature exceeds safe limits · Resets automatically when it cools · Should show closed continuity at room temperature Part 4 of 4 Thermal Cut-Off Fuse (3977393 / 279816 kit) Opens at 309°F · Backup one-time safety device on the heating element housing · Permanently interrupts power to the heating element if the high-limit thermostat fails to open · Cannot be reset — must be replaced if blown Replaces Part Numbers WP3387134 Cycling Thermostat cross-references: WP3387134, WP3387134VP, 3387134, 3387135, 3387139, 306910, 3-6910, ET187, AP6008270, PS11741405 WP3392519 Thermal Fuse cross-references: WP3392519, WP3392519VP, 3392519, 3388651, 694511, 80005, ET401, G4AP0500, AP6008325, PS11741460 279816 High-Limit Thermostat and Thermal Cut-Off Kit cross-references: 279816, 279816VP, W10900067, 3977393, 3977767, WP3977767, WP3977767VP, 3399848, 3399693, 2651, AP3094244, AH334299, EA334299, EAP334299, PS334299 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 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.

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.
