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

2 Pack - 12638000004021 Genuine OEM Midea Dryer Drum Roller
The 12638000004021 is a genuine Midea OEM dryer drum support roller, sold under the Frigidaire/Midea manufacturing relationship for Midea-built dryers and select Frigidaire, Insignia, and Kenmore dryers using this same platform. This roller sits underneath the drum, along its rear support track, and does the physical work of holding the drum's weight while letting it turn freely as the belt drives it around. A dryer typically uses more than one of these rollers working together to keep the drum properly supported and centered.
Over time, the wheel and bearing inside the roller wear down from the constant heat and rotation the dryer subjects them to, eventually developing a flat spot, seizing up, or simply wearing thin enough that the drum sits unevenly. A worn roller produces a distinctive symptom: a rumbling, squeaking, or thumping noise that rises and falls with drum rotation, often getting louder as a load tumbles. It directly replaces 5304511415, AP7990985.
Quick Answer
The 12638000004021 Genuine OEM Midea Dryer Drum Roller fixes Midea-built dryers (and select Frigidaire, Insignia, and Kenmore dryers on this platform) with a rumbling, squeaking, or thumping noise that rises and falls with drum rotation.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting 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. Access is typically through the rear panel: remove the screws securing the panel, then release the drum belt from the idler pulley to relieve tension so the drum can be supported and moved slightly for access to the rollers underneath. Photograph the roller and axle positions before removing anything. Remove the retaining clip or fastener holding the worn roller's axle in place, then slide the old roller off. Install the new 12638000004021 roller onto the axle in the same orientation, and secure it with the retaining clip or fastener. While you're in there, check the other rollers by spinning each one by hand — if any feel stiff, gritty, or worn, replace them at the same time, since they're typically the same age and wear on a similar schedule. Re-tension the belt around the idler pulley, reassemble the rear panel, restore power, and run a short empty cycle to confirm the noise has resolved. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, pliers, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer makes a rumbling noise that gets louder over time. Is this the part I need?
Yes, this is the classic symptom of a worn drum roller. As the wheel and bearing wear down, the noise typically starts subtle and gradually worsens, often becoming most noticeable with a full load as the extra weight puts more load on the worn wheel. If the noise rises and falls in rhythm with the drum turning, a roller is the most likely cause.
Should I replace just one roller, or all of them?
It's worth checking all of them while you have access. Dryers typically use more than one roller supporting the drum, and since they're the same age and under the same stress, if one has worn out the others are often not far behind. Spin each roller by hand — if any feel stiff, gritty, or rough, replace them together to avoid repeating this repair again soon.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Midea to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original wheel design, bearing, and axle fitment of the drum roller originally installed in your dryer.

WP21352320 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Drive Belt
The WP21352320 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM drive belt for Whirlpool top-load washers. This belt connects the drive motor to the transmission at the bottom of the washer, and it's what actually spins the basket during the wash and spin cycles. Unlike a dryer's drum belt, which simply tumbles a drum, this washer drive belt has to transfer real torque to spin a heavy, water-filled basket, which puts it under considerably more mechanical stress.
Measuring approximately 51" long and 3/8" wide. A worn or broken belt produces a distinctive set of symptoms: the washer may not spin at all, spin only slowly, agitate poorly or not at all, fail to drain properly since the pump relies on the same drive system, or produce a burning smell or loud grinding noise as a worn belt slips against the pulley. One useful diagnostic tip worth knowing: a belt can look intact at a glance but still be worn out — if the sides of the belt appear shiny or glazed rather than matte, that's a sign of slippage-related wear even without a visible crack. It directly replaces 21001478, 21352320, 35-2073, 35-2320, AP6005822, WP21352320VP, and PS11738882.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer And Shut Off Water Supply Before Starting — Consider The Motor Pulley While You're In There Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker, and shut off both the hot and cold water supply valves before beginning. Pull the washer out from the wall for full access. Wear work gloves. Locate the drive belt around the motor at the bottom of the washer. Use a flathead screwdriver or hex wrench to remove the screws holding the motor bracket in place, which releases tension on the belt. Carefully slide the motor bracket off the motor, and use pliers if needed to work the old belt off the pulley. While the bottom of the washer is accessible, this is a good time to inspect the motor pulley for wear as well, since it's a related component you'll already have exposed. Install the new WP21352320 belt around the pulley and transmission, following the same routing as the old belt, and make sure it's seated securely and tightened properly — a loose or improperly seated belt will slip and wear out quickly. Reattach the motor bracket with its screws. Restore the water supply and power, then run a test cycle to confirm the washer spins, agitates, and drains normally with no unusual noise. Tools needed: multi-bit screwdriver, hex wrench, standard pliers, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My belt looks fine — no cracks or visible damage. Could it still need replacing?
Yes, and this is a common source of confusion. A belt can appear intact with no cracks and still be worn out. Check the sides of the belt closely: if they look shiny or glazed rather than having a matte, textured surface, that glazing indicates the belt has been slipping against the pulley, which is a clear sign of wear even without visible cracking.
My washer pumps and drains but the drum spins slowly or not at all. Is this the belt?
Yes, this is one of the most direct symptoms of a worn or slipping drive belt. Since this belt is what actually transfers the motor's power to spin the basket, a worn belt can slip under load, causing slow or absent spinning even though the motor itself and the drain pump are both working normally.
Should I replace the motor pulley at the same time?
It's worth inspecting while you have the bottom of the washer accessible, even if you don't end up replacing it. A worn pulley can accelerate wear on a brand-new belt, so checking its condition during this repair is a reasonable precaution, especially if your old belt showed the glazed, slipping-related wear pattern.
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 length, width, and routing configuration of the drive belt originally installed in your washer.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer and Shut Off Water Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect the washer from all utilities — unplug it from the outlet (or shut off the breaker) and turn off the hot and cold water supplies — before beginning. Wear work gloves to protect your hands from sharp sheet metal edges inside the cabinet. Pull the washer away from the wall to give yourself room to work. Access the drive belt by removing the rear access panel or tilting/laying the washer to reach the underside — the specific procedure varies by model, so consult your appliance's service diagram. Photograph the belt routing before removing anything so you can match the path with the new belt. Remove any pieces of the old broken belt from around the motor pulley and the transmission/drive pulley, and clear out accumulated lint or debris. Inspect the pulleys while you're in there — if a pulley is rough, grooved, or wobbly, the new belt will wear out prematurely and the pulley should be addressed too. Route the new 134511600 belt around the drive motor pulley and the transmission pulley, following the same path as the original. Rotate the pulleys by hand a few full turns to confirm the belt seats correctly in the pulley grooves and rides smoothly without twisting or binding. Confirm proper belt tension — the belt should be snug with a small amount of deflection, not loose enough to slip or so tight that it stresses the bearings. Reinstall the access panel, restore water and power, and run a test cycle to confirm the tub agitates and spins normally. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, socket/ratchet, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer motor runs but the tub won't spin — is the belt the problem?
Almost certainly, yes. When you can hear the motor running (a hum or whir) but the tub stays still or barely turns, the drive belt has almost always snapped, slipped off its pulleys, or worn to the point where it can't grip. A quick check: unplug the washer, open the cabinet, and look for a belt lying loose in the bottom — a snapped belt is unmistakable. If the belt is still on the pulleys but glazed, cracked, or stretched, it's slipping rather than driving and needs replacement. Other symptoms that point to the belt: a squealing noise during spin, or a burning-rubber smell from the belt slipping and overheating against the pulleys.
Does this really fit both Frigidaire AND GE washers?
Yes — this is a genuine cross-brand part. The same V-belt design serves as a direct replacement for both the Frigidaire/Electrolux 134511600-series and the GE WH07X-series drive belts, and the two OEM catalogs are cross-referenced to each other through the 134161100 number. The belts share the same V-profile, width (approximately 1/2"), and circumference (31–32"), allowing a single aftermarket belt to function correctly in both platforms. Compatible models span Frigidaire's FLEB/FLGB/FLSE/FLSG/FWS/FWX series, GE washers and washer/dryer combos, plus Crosley, Gibson, Kelvinator, Tappan, White-Westinghouse, Kenmore, Hotpoint, and RCA models. Always verify your specific model number before ordering.
What causes a washer drive belt to fail?
The most common causes are normal wear and tear from continuous use, stretching over time (which reduces grip and causes slipping), fraying or cracking from age and repeated flexing, and snapping due to overloading the washer or improper installation. Chronic overloading is a big contributor — forcing the motor to drive an over-packed tub puts extreme stress on the belt. Belt failures can also be accelerated by a worn or seized pulley, which is why it's worth inspecting the motor and transmission pulleys whenever you replace the belt. If a pulley is rough, grooved, or wobbly, the new belt will wear out quickly against it.
How tight should the new belt be?
The belt should be snug in the pulley grooves with a small amount of deflection when you press on it — firm enough that it won't slip under load, but not so tight that it puts excess strain on the motor and transmission bearings. Most washers with a V-belt drive use a spring-loaded or adjustable motor mount to set tension automatically; if yours has an adjustment, follow your model's service specification. After installing, rotate the pulleys by hand a few full turns and confirm the belt tracks correctly in the grooves without twisting or riding up the sides.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Frigidaire, Electrolux, or GE OEM part, but is manufactured from durable rubber to match the V-belt profile, dimensions (approximately 1/2" wide x 31–32" circumference), and drive function of the original 134511600 and WH07X10009 washer drive belts used across compatible Frigidaire, Electrolux, GE, Gibson, Crosley, Kenmore, Tappan, White-Westinghouse, Kelvinator, Hotpoint, and RCA washers.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Do Not Touch the Element with Bare Hands Disconnect power before beginning. Wear work gloves throughout — there are sharp sheet metal edges inside the dryer cabinet. The new heating element coil is sensitive to skin oils, which can cause premature burnout — handle the element only by the metal frame, not the coil wire. Remove the rear panel of the dryer to access the heating element housing/cannister. Take a photo of all wire connections and the orientation of the element before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the wires from the old element terminals and remove the housing from the dryer. With the housing on a workbench, remove the old element from inside the housing — note exactly how it sits and how the restring is positioned. Install the new DC47-00019A element into the same housing, following the same orientation as the old element. Do not let the Ni-Cr heating wire touch the housing during installation — this can cause arcing and immediate burnout. Reinstall the housing in the dryer, reconnect all wires snugly to the correct terminals, and reinstall the rear panel. Restore power and run a test heat cycle to confirm the dryer is heating properly. While the rear panel is open, inspect the high-limit thermostat, thermal fuse, and thermistor — if the element failed due to overheating, these may also be stressed. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this really fit both Samsung AND Whirlpool dryers?
Yes — this is one of the more unusual cases in dryer parts where an aftermarket heating element has been designed to serve as a direct replacement for both the Samsung DC47-00019A and the Whirlpool/Maytag WP35001247 (35001247) elements. The two OEM elements share the same physical dimensions, electrical specifications (240V, 5300W), and terminal configuration, allowing a single aftermarket element to function correctly in both platforms. Compatible models span Samsung's DV series, Whirlpool/Maytag's affected dryers (MDE6700/MDG6700 and similar), and select Amana, Inglis, and Kenmore Whirlpool-built or Samsung-built models. Always verify your specific model number before ordering.
Why do I need to reuse the housing from the old element?
This listing is for the heating element assembly only — the metal cannister or housing that contains the element is not included. The housing is a heavy gauge metal enclosure with mounting brackets that secure it to the dryer cabinet, along with airflow ducting that directs air across the heating coil. Reusing the housing keeps the cost down and is standard practice for this type of replacement. Carefully remove the old element from the housing, install the new element in its place, and then reinstall the housing in the dryer. If your housing is damaged or burned through, it will need to be replaced separately.
How do I know if the heating element has failed?
The clearest sign is a dryer that tumbles and runs through a complete cycle normally but produces little or no heat, leaving clothes damp at the end. You may also notice the dryer taking much longer than usual to dry a load as it tries to compensate. Visually inspecting the element after removing the rear panel can reveal burn marks, breaks in the coil, or visible arcing damage. A multimeter continuity test on the disconnected element will also confirm failure — a working element shows continuity, while a failed element reads an open circuit (no continuity).
Should I replace the thermal fuse and thermostats at the same time?
It's a good idea to inspect them. When a heating element fails — especially if it failed due to overheating rather than simple end-of-life wear — the paired thermal fuse, high-limit thermostat, and thermistor located in the same area can also be stressed by the heat event. Since the rear panel must already be open to replace the element, checking these components' continuity with a multimeter is a quick step that can prevent a repeat repair if any of them are also on the verge of failing.
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 or Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured to match the electrical specifications (240V, 5300W), dimensions, and Ni-Cr coil construction of the original DC47-00019A and WP35001247 heating elements that it replaces.

XPARTCO 279838 Dryer Heating Element
The XPARTCO 279838 is an aftermarket replacement heating element for Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, Roper, Estate, Crosley, Admiral, Inglis, KitchenAid, and Jenn-Air electric dryers. This element is the source of virtually all the heat in the dryer: current flows through a nickel-chromium coil, which glows and radiates heat as the blower pushes air across it and into the drum. This part is often nicknamed the "shorty" because of its compact size compared to the larger, older Whirlpool element it replaced, part number 4391960 — the shorty design is used on dryers with the lint filter positioned on the top right near the control housing.
Over years of use, the coil typically fails with a visible break somewhere along its length — a section simply burns through and the circuit opens, cutting off heat entirely. A quick way to check: a healthy element reads approximately 9 to 10 ohms across its terminals with a multimeter; a reading of no resistance (open circuit) confirms the element has failed. This element shares the same dryer platform as our WP3392519 thermal fuse and works alongside a cycling thermostat and high-limit thermostat in the same heating circuit — all commonly checked or replaced together when a dryer stops heating. It directly replaces 279837, WP279837, 2438, 279838VP, 279838A, 3398063, 3398064, 3403585, 8565582, W10724237, AP3094254, AH334313, EA334313, PS334313, and PS3343130.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 279838 Dryer Heating Element fixes Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, Roper, Estate, Crosley, Admiral, Inglis, KitchenAid, and Jenn-Air electric dryers with no heat, insufficient heat, or drying times that have gotten noticeably longer. Also called the "shorty" element. Replaces 279837, WP279837, 2438, 279838VP, 279838A, 3398063, 3398064, 3403585, 8565582, W10724237, AP3094254, AH334313, EA334313, PS334313, PS3343130. A healthy element reads approximately 9-10 ohms with a multimeter; if the dryer has no heat at all, also check the thermal fuse (such as our WP3392519 listing) before assuming the element is at fault — a blown fuse produces the identical symptom.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer runs a full cycle but produces no heat at all
Dryer produces some heat, but not enough to dry clothes properly
Drying times that have gotten noticeably longer than they used to
Clothes coming out cold or barely warm at the end of a cycle
Visible break or burned-through section in the heating coil

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Test Resistance Before Assuming It's The Element Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Access is typically through the rear panel or the front, depending on your model, to reach the heater duct/blower housing area where the element is mounted. Before removing anything, inspect the old element visually for a break in the coil — sometimes you can see it directly, or feel it by gently wiggling each section of the coil. If nothing is visibly broken, test with a multimeter: place one probe on each terminal and look for a reading of approximately 9-10 ohms on a good element; no resistance at all confirms the element has failed. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the wire terminals from the old element, remove the mounting screws or clips holding it in the duct housing, and pull it free. Install the new 279838 assembly in the same position, reconnect the wire terminals, and secure the mounting hardware — if the original connection wire shows burning or damage, replace it as well rather than reusing a damaged connector. Reassemble the panel, restore power, and run a test cycle to confirm the dryer is heating normally. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, 5/16" wrench, Phillips screwdriver, multimeter, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I test whether the element is actually bad?
Start with a visual inspection — often you can see a break directly in the coil, or find it by gently wiggling each section to check for a loose or separated point. If nothing is visible, use a multimeter set to ohms and place one probe on each terminal. A good element typically reads approximately 9 to 10 ohms; a reading of no resistance at all (open circuit) confirms the element has failed and needs replacing.
My dryer has no heat at all. Should I replace the element first, or check something else?
Check the thermal fuse first, since a blown fuse produces the exact same "no heat at all" symptom as a failed heating element and is a cheaper, faster part to test and replace — our WP3392519 listing covers the thermal fuse used on this same dryer platform. If the fuse tests good and the dryer still has no heat, the element itself is the next thing to test.
What's the difference between this "shorty" element and the older 4391960?
Both are Whirlpool dryer heating elements, but this 279838 is a more compact design used on dryers with the lint filter positioned on the top right near the control housing, while 4391960 is the larger, older element used on earlier Whirlpool dryer platforms. They are not interchangeable, so confirm which style your dryer uses — checking your model number or comparing the physical size of your old element — before ordering.
Should I check the connection wire while I'm replacing the element?
Yes, it's worth a look. The wire connecting to the element terminals can occasionally show burning or damage if the element was arcing or overheating before it failed. If you notice any discoloration, melting, or damage on the connection wire, replace it along with the element rather than reusing a compromised connector.
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 nickel-chromium coil composition, resistance rating, compact "shorty" form factor, and terminal configuration of the original 279838 heating element used in compatible Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, Roper, and related dryers.
