17438200000404 Genuine OEM Midea Dryer Temperature Sensor (Thermistor) The 17438200000404 is a Genuine OEM Midea replacement dryer temperature sensor (thermistor) compatible with an extensive range of Midea, Criterion, and Insignia electric and gas dryers. This NTC (negative temperature coefficient) thermistor continuously monitors air temperature inside the dryer and sends resistance-based readings to the control board, which uses this data to regulate heating element cycling, prevent overheating, and maintain consistent drying temperatures throughout the cycle. As the thermistor heats up, its electrical resistance decreases in a predictable way, allowing the control board to calculate the exact temperature in real time. When this sensor fails — whether shorted, open, or providing drifted/inaccurate readings — the dryer may overheat, may not heat at all, may dry clothes unevenly, may take much longer than normal to complete a cycle, or may trigger a not-heating fault on models with digital displays. As a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Midea to factory specifications, the 17438200000404 directly replaces WF-123X2060 (an alternate catalog cross-reference used by some suppliers, including for compatible Maytag-branded Midea-built units). Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools.

Key Features Genuine OEM part manufactured by Midea to factory specifications — guaranteed fit and performance NTC (negative temperature coefficient) thermistor — resistance decreases predictably as temperature rises, allowing precise temperature monitoring Sends real-time temperature data to the control board to regulate heating element cycling and prevent overheating Approximately 10,000–12,000 ohms of resistance at room temperature (around 70°F) when functioning correctly Compatible across both electric and gas Midea-platform dryers, including Criterion and Insignia house-brand models Replaces WF-123X2060 Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools Product Specifications Part Number 17438200000404 Part Type Dryer Temperature Sensor (NTC Thermistor) Condition Genuine OEM Application Electric and Gas Dryers (Midea platform) Sensor Type NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) Resistance at Room Temp Approximately 10,000 – 12,000 ohms (~70°F) Location Blower housing/exhaust duct or drum cavity, depending on model Compatible Brands Midea, Criterion, Insignia Installation Notes ⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting (Shut Off Gas First on Gas Models) Disconnect power before beginning (and shut off the gas supply first if you have a gas dryer model). Midea dryers typically have 2–3 temperature sensors: an exhaust thermistor on the blower housing or exhaust duct, a drum thermistor inside the drum cavity, and on heat pump models, an evaporator thermistor — confirm which sensor location matches your symptom and part diagram before starting. Access the sensors by removing the back panel on vented models, or the side/bottom panels on heat pump models. Photograph the connector position before disconnecting. Unplug the old sensor's connector and inspect it for corrosion or heat discoloration on the wires — discoloration indicates prior overheating in that area. Remove the mounting clip or screw securing the old sensor and pull it free. Install the new 17438200000404 sensor in the same position, reseat the connector firmly, and secure the mounting hardware. Reassemble the panel, restore power, and run a test heat cycle to confirm normal temperature regulation. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, multimeter (for testing). Frequently Asked Questions How do I test if the temperature sensor (thermistor) has failed? Unplug the dryer, disconnect the sensor's connector, and set your multimeter to resistance mode. At room temperature (around 70°F), a working NTC thermistor should read approximately 10,000 to 12,000 ohms. If the sensor reads 0 ohms, it has shorted internally. If it reads infinite resistance (open circuit, often shown as "OL" on the multimeter), the sensor has failed open. Either reading confirms the sensor needs replacement. If you have multiple sensors testing bad at the same time, check the shared ground wire — a broken ground connection can cause all sensors on that circuit to read as open even if the individual sensors are fine. My Midea dryer has more than one temperature sensor — how do I know which one to replace? Midea dryers typically use 2–3 temperature sensors depending on the model: an exhaust thermistor mounted on the blower housing or exhaust duct, a drum thermistor inside the drum cavity, and — on heat pump/ventless models — an evaporator thermistor in the refrigerant circuit area. The 17438200000404 is used across this Midea/Criterion/Insignia platform, but confirming the exact mounting location for your specific symptom (e.g., overheating vs. uneven drying) and model number before ordering will help ensure you're replacing the correct sensor. What is the difference between 17438200000404 and WF-123X2060? These are the same temperature sensor. WF-123X2060 is an alternate catalog cross-reference number used by some parts suppliers for the identical Midea-manufactured thermistor — it appears in listings for compatible Maytag-branded Midea-built units as well as the standard Midea, Criterion, and Insignia models. If your dryer's parts diagram shows either number, the 17438200000404 is the correct part. Does this sensor fit my Insignia or Criterion dryer? Yes — Insignia (Best Buy) and Criterion (Sears/Kmart) are house brands whose dryers in this size and configuration are manufactured by Midea and use the same internal components, including this temperature sensor. Confirmed compatible models include Insignia NSDRE67WH8A, NSFDRE67WH8A, NSFDRE77WH8B, NSTDRE67W1, NSTDRE75W1 (electric) and NSFDRG67WH8A, NSTDRG67W1, NSTDRG75W1 (gas), as well as Criterion CDE41N1AW (electric) and CDG41N1AW (gas). Always verify your specific model number before ordering. Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part? This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Midea to factory specifications. It is the exact same NTC thermistor temperature sensor installed in compatible Midea, Criterion, and Insignia dryers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

XPARTCO WE4M160 Dryer High Limit Thermostat The XPARTCO WE4M160 is an aftermarket replacement high limit (safety) thermostat for GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore dryers, and for some Fisher & Paykel dryers. This safety thermostat is part of the dryer's heating circuit. It shuts off power to the heating element when the dryer gets too hot, which protects the dryer from overheating. GE catalogs the original as the "Thermostat Safety Left." This is a direct-fit aftermarket replacement for the original GE thermostat. If a high limit thermostat trips or fails, it is worth checking the cause of the overheating at the same time. A clogged lint trap or restricted exhaust vent is a common culprit. Quick Answer The XPARTCO WE4M160 High Limit Thermostat replaces the safety thermostat on a GE, Hotpoint, or Kenmore dryer that overheats, shuts off during the heat cycle, or won't heat because the thermostat has opened or failed. Classic symptom: the dryer gets too hot or quits on heat, and a vent check shows the airflow is clear. Common Problems This Part Fixes Dryer runs too hot Dryer shuts off the heat during a cycle Dryer runs but doesn't heat because the safety thermostat has opened Dryer won't start if the thermostat has failed open Cross Reference Information Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models.

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.

215846604 Genuine OEM Frigidaire Refrigerator Defrost Timer The 215846604 is a genuine Frigidaire OEM defrost timer, mounted inside the refrigerator near the top of the back wall. This timer is the scheduler for the defrost circuit: on a set cycle, it switches the refrigerator out of normal cooling mode and into a defrost mode, energizing the defrost heater long enough to melt any frost that has accumulated on the evaporator coil, then switches back to cooling once defrost is complete. This cycle repeats automatically for as long as the refrigerator runs, which is why a healthy timer is essential to preventing frost buildup in the first place. Rated 120V with a 6 hour, 21 minute cycle, measuring approximately 1.5"H x 3.2"L x 2.3"W. When this timer fails, the defrost heater never gets the signal — and the electrical energy — it needs to run, so frost keeps accumulating on the coil unchecked. A failing timer typically shows up as heavy frost or ice buildup on the evaporator coil, a freezer that runs too cold or too warm, or a refrigerator section that isn't cooling properly because ice-caked coils can't transfer heat efficiently anymore. It directly replaces AP2592907, 08003824, 08011620, 1748201, 241809401, 241809402, 442754, 5300541134, 5300800692, 5308003824, AH423802, EA423802, PS423802, and CC304. Quick Answer The 215846604 Genuine OEM Frigidaire Refrigerator Defrost Timer fixes Frigidaire, Kenmore, Crosley, Kelvinator, Gibson, Tappan, and Westinghouse refrigerators and freezers with heavy frost or ice buildup on the evaporator coil, a freezer running too warm or too cold, or a refrigerator section not cooling properly. 120V, 6 hour 21 minute defrost cycle.

Repair Difficulty Easy — basic tools required Quantity 1 defrost timer Compatible Brands Frigidaire, Kenmore, Crosley, Kelvinator, Gibson, Tappan, Westinghouse Installation Notes ⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning, and move perishable food to a cooler for the duration of the repair. Wear work gloves. Locate the defrost timer control inside the refrigerator, typically near the top of the back wall — on some models it may be located behind a rear access panel or near the control housing instead, so check your specific model if it isn't immediately visible. Photograph the wiring harness connector before disconnecting anything. Use a screwdriver to remove the screws securing the timer in place, then carefully disconnect the wiring harness from the back of the old timer. Connect the wiring harness to the new 215846604 timer, matching the original connector orientation, and secure it in place with the mounting screws. Restore power and monitor the refrigerator over the next day to confirm the defrost cycle is running on schedule and frost is no longer accumulating excessively on the coil. Tools needed: screwdriver, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions How do I know if the timer is actually the problem and not the defrost heater or thermostat? The defrost timer, defrost heater, and defrost thermostat all work together in the same circuit, so it's worth testing the other two before assuming the timer has failed. Test the defrost thermostat and the defrost heater with a multimeter — if both test as functioning properly, it's very likely the timer is the faulty component causing the defrost cycle not to run. There's heavy frost or ice on the coil. Is that definitely the timer? It's one of the most common causes. If the timer fails to advance into the defrost portion of its cycle, the heater never gets the signal or the power it needs to run, so frost keeps accumulating on the evaporator coil with nothing to melt it off. This is exactly the scenario this timer is designed to prevent when it's working correctly. What's the difference between 215846604 and 215846602? These are different timers with different cycle lengths — this 215846604 runs a 6 hour, 21 minute cycle, while 215846602 runs a 6 hour, 40 minute cycle and replaces a separate group of part numbers. They are not interchangeable, so always confirm which specific number your refrigerator's parts diagram calls for before ordering. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Frigidaire to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original cycle timing, switch contacts, and wiring harness configuration of the defrost timer originally installed in your refrigerator.

XPARTCO WE01X30638 Laundry Center Control Knob The XPARTCO WE01X30638 is an aftermarket replacement control knob compatible with select GE, Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore GE-built laundry centers (stacked washer/dryer combination units). The control knob mounts on the timer or cycle selector shaft on the laundry center's control panel — it's what you grip and turn to choose wash cycles, dry cycles, and timer settings on both the washer and dryer sections of the unit. Because a stacked laundry center's knobs get twice the daily use of a standalone appliance (one control panel serving both washer and dryer functions), cracked and stripped knobs are one of the most common repairs on these units. Constructed from durable black ABS plastic with a polished silver edge ring and an internal metal plate insert that grips the D-shaped control shaft — allowing precise detent positioning so you land exactly on your desired cycle setting. Approximately 2" in diameter with thick inner walls to resist the cracking that plagues aging original knobs. Snap-on installation — pulls straight off, pushes back on, no tools required. This is the current production version, directly superseding WE01X24776. It also replaces 4961358, AP6996856, PS16226089, and EAP16226089. Installs in under 1 minute — no tools required. Quick Answer The XPARTCO WE01X30638 Laundry Center Control Knob replaces a cracked, stripped, or missing control knob on GE, Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore GE-built stacked laundry centers. Black ABS plastic with polished silver edge, ~2" diameter, internal metal plate for a firm shaft grip. Snap-on — no tools required. Current part superseding WE01X24776; also replaces 4961358, AP6996856, PS16226089, EAP16226089. Compatible with GE GUD27ESPM0DG, GUD27ESPM1DG, GUD27GSPM0DG, GUD27GSPM1DG and related GUD27 series laundry centers. Common Problems This Part Fixes Control knob cracked or split from age and repeated use — the most common failure on GUD27-series laundry centers Knob spinning freely on the shaft — internal grip stripped, no longer changing settings when turned Knob difficult to turn or not responding — worn internal metal plate no longer engaging the shaft Knob missing entirely from the control panel Knob loose and wobbling on the shaft — imprecise cycle selection Hairline cracks visible around the knob's shaft opening — early-stage failure that will soon strip Knob damaged from impact or overtightened grip Replacing multiple aging knobs at once — original knobs from the same production era tend to crack around the same 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 laundry center control knob directly replaces the following OEM and cross-reference part numbers: WE01X30638, WE01X24776, AGE25575, AP6996856, EAP16226089, PD00068517, PS16226089. WE01X30638 is the current production part superseding WE01X24776. Contact our support team with your model number if you need confirmation before ordering. Compatibility This control knob is compatible with select laundry centers (stacked washer/dryer units) from the following brands: GE laundry centers — GUD27ESPM0DG (electric dryer) and GUD27ESPM1DG series GE laundry centers — GUD27GSPM0DG (gas dryer) and GUD27GSPM1DG series GE laundry centers — related GUD27 series models (verify with parts diagram) Hotpoint laundry centers (select GE-built models) RCA laundry centers (select GE-built models) Kenmore / Sears laundry centers (select GE-built models) Tip: If one knob on your laundry center has cracked, inspect the others — knobs from the same production era typically develop cracks around the same time. Since the replacement takes seconds and the knobs are identical, many customers order two or more at once and replace them all in a single session, avoiding a repeat order a few months later. This knob is approximately 2" in diameter — confirm your original knob's size matches before ordering. Key Features Control knob for laundry center timer and cycle selection — installs on the control panel shaft Durable black ABS plastic construction with thick inner walls — resists the cracking common on aging original knobs Polished silver edge ring for a clean, modern look that matches GE laundry center styling Internal metal plate insert grips the D-shaped control shaft firmly — precise detent positioning for accurate cycle selection Approximately 2" diameter with smooth mirror-polished surface for a comfortable grip Snap-on installation — pulls straight off the shaft, pushes back on; no tools or hardware required Current production part — directly supersedes WE01X24776 Replaces 4961358, AP6996856, PS16226089, and EAP16226089 Compatible with GE GUD27ESPM0DG/1DG and GUD27GSPM0DG/1DG laundry centers, plus Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore GE-built models Aftermarket replacement built to OEM-equivalent quality standards Quick replacement — installs in under 1 minute Product Specifications Part Number XPWE01X30638 Supersedes WE01X24776 Part Type Laundry Center Control Knob (Timer / Cycle Selector) Condition Aftermarket Replacement Application Laundry Centers / Stacked Washer-Dryer Units (GE platform) Diameter Approximately 2" Color Black with polished silver edge Material ABS plastic with internal metal plate insert Shaft Type D-shaped shaft receiver Installation Snap-on — no tools required Compatible Brands GE, Hotpoint, RCA, Kenmore (GE-built) Installation Notes ⚠️ Unplug Laundry Center Before Starting — Quick Toolless Replacement Disconnect power before beginning as a general safety precaution. Locate the old control knob on the laundry center's control panel. Grip the knob firmly and pull it straight off the control shaft — it should come off with a moderate pull (no tools required). If the knob is cracked and spinning without releasing, wrap a soft cloth around it for extra grip, or gently pry it off with a plastic tool (avoid metal tools that could scratch the control panel). Once the old knob is off, inspect the metal control shaft — note the D-shape (flat side) of the shaft. If the shaft itself is damaged, worn round, or the timer behind it feels loose, the underlying timer or switch may also need attention. Align the new WE01X30638 knob's internal D-shaped receiver with the flat side of the shaft and push it firmly straight on until it seats fully. Rotate the knob through its full range to confirm it clicks into each detent position cleanly and the indicator lines up with the panel markings. Restore power and run a quick test cycle. If replacing multiple knobs, repeat for each position — they're all identical on compatible GUD27-series units. Tools needed: None (soft cloth optional). Frequently Asked Questions Why do the knobs on my GE laundry center keep cracking? The original knobs on GUD27-series laundry centers are subject to constant rotational stress concentrated at the D-shaped shaft opening — and on a stacked laundry center, one control panel serves both the washer and dryer, so the knobs see roughly double the daily turning of a standalone appliance's controls. Over years of use, hairline cracks form at the shaft opening and gradually spread until the knob's grip strips and it spins freely. The replacement knob's thick inner walls and internal metal plate insert are designed to resist this failure pattern. If one of your knobs has cracked, check the others — knobs from the same production era typically crack around the same time, and replacing them together saves a repeat order. What's the difference between WE01X30638 and WE01X24776? These are the same control knob across production revisions. WE01X24776 was the earlier GE part number, and WE01X30638 is the current production version that GE issued as its direct replacement. Both are physically and functionally interchangeable — if your laundry center's parts diagram shows WE01X24776, the WE01X30638 is the correct current replacement, and this listing covers both numbers. There may be a very slight color variation between the new knob and your aged originals, but the fit and function are identical. How do I remove the old knob if it's cracked and just spins? When the internal grip has stripped, the knob spins on the shaft instead of pulling off cleanly. Wrap a soft cloth around the knob for extra grip and pull firmly straight out while wiggling slightly. If that doesn't work, gently work a plastic pry tool (a plastic putty knife or old credit card) behind the knob's base and lever it outward evenly around its circumference. Avoid metal tools, which can scratch the control panel. If the knob is badly cracked, you can also carefully break away the remaining plastic to free it from the shaft. Once removed, the new knob pushes straight on. Does this knob work for both the washer and dryer controls on my laundry center? Yes — on compatible GUD27-series laundry centers, the control knobs across the panel are the same part, whether they operate washer cycle selection, dryer timer, or other rotary controls that use the same D-shaped shaft. If you're replacing more than one knob, a single part number covers all matching positions. Just confirm each position's knob is the same ~2" diameter style before ordering multiples — if your unit has a visibly different-sized knob at any position, verify against the parts diagram first. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine GE OEM part, but is manufactured from durable ABS plastic with an internal metal plate insert to match the dimensions (~2" diameter), D-shaped shaft receiver, snap-on installation, and appearance of the original WE01X30638/WE01X24776 control knob used in compatible GE, Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore GE-built laundry centers.

Insert the new 12138200000320 catch into the slot in the same orientation and press firmly until it snaps into place. Close the door to confirm it latches securely. Restore power and run a short cycle to verify the door stays closed and the dryer operates normally. Tools needed: None in most cases; a small flat-head screwdriver may help with removal. Frequently Asked Questions What dryers is the 12138200000320 compatible with? The 12138200000320 door catch is used on select Midea and Insignia dryer models. Insignia is a Best Buy house brand whose appliances are manufactured by Midea. Always verify your exact model number before ordering to confirm this catch fits your dryer's door latch assembly. Why won't my dryer start even though I'm closing the door? If the door catch is broken or worn, the door may not be engaging the door switch firmly enough to signal the control board that the door is closed. Most dryers will not run unless the door switch is fully activated. Replacing the 12138200000320 catch restores the firm snap needed to trigger the switch. If replacing the catch does not resolve the start issue, the door switch itself may also need to be checked. Do I need to replace the door strike as well? Not necessarily. In most cases only the door catch (the spring-clip on the door) needs replacement. The door strike (the post or tab on the cabinet that the catch snaps onto) is typically more durable. Inspect the strike for cracks or breakage before ordering — if it is intact, just the 12138200000320 catch is all you need. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Midea OEM part, but is manufactured from durable plastic to match the dimensions and function of the original 12138200000320 door catch.
