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.

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

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. Supports and centers the drum on its rear track. Replaces 5304511415, AP7990985.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Rumbling or grinding noise that rises and falls with drum rotation
Squeaking or squealing noise from inside the dryer during operation

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.

XPARTCO W10198086 Dryer Drum Belt Replaces WPW10198086
The XPARTCO W10198086 is an aftermarket replacement dryer drum belt for Whirlpool, Maytag, and Amana electric dryers. This belt wraps around the drum and the motor pulley, and it's what actually makes the drum turn — the motor drives the belt, and the belt tumbles the drum. When this belt breaks or wears out, the motor can still run, but nothing inside the dryer actually moves.
This is a 5-rib belt measuring approximately 92-1/2"L x 5/16"W x 1/8"H, with grooves on one side and a flat surface on the other. A broken or badly worn belt produces an unmistakable symptom: the dryer runs — you'll hear the motor and often the blower — but the drum doesn't turn at all, or turns only briefly before stopping. A simple way to confirm this diagnosis before opening the dryer is to try turning the drum by hand; if it spins freely with no resistance, the belt is almost certainly broken. Overloading the dryer with oversized loads is a common cause of belt failure over time. It directly replaces WPW10198086, W11575709, W11667279, LB8086, 1481904, AP6016842, AH2348726, EA2348726, PS2348726, EAP11750135, PS11750135, AWP49253, and PD00007598.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Check The Idler Pulley While You're In There Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Lift the lint screen cover and remove the two screws underneath it — if your model has a lint screen with a built-in cover, simply pull it out and remove the screws. Run a putty knife around the top edge of the dryer to find the release clips, then press them in to release and swing the top open. Remove the front panel to access the drum and belt area; on many models, all the work for this repair is performed from the front rather than the rear. Route the new W10198086 belt around the drum with the grooved side against the drum, then loop it around the motor pulley and the idler pulley, following the routing diagram on the inside of the cabinet or your old belt's path if it's still intact when you remove it. If the belt broke rather than just wearing out, check that the idler pulley is still properly seated — a belt snapping can sometimes cause the pulley to pop out of position, and reseating it is a quick fix while you already have the panel open. Reinstall the front panel, close the top and secure the release clips, and reinstall the lint screen area and its screws. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm the drum turns smoothly with no slipping or noise. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 5/16" nut driver, putty knife, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer runs but the drum won't turn. How do I confirm it's the belt before ordering?
Try turning the drum by hand with the dryer unplugged. If it spins freely with little to no resistance, that's a strong sign the belt has broken, since an intact belt normally provides some resistance from the motor and idler pulley connected to it. If the drum feels stuck or hard to turn instead, the problem may be elsewhere, such as a seized idler pulley or motor issue.
What caused my belt to break in the first place?
Belts wear out from age and normal use, but overloading the dryer with oversized or overly heavy loads is a common accelerating factor, since it puts extra strain on the belt with every rotation. Avoiding overloaded loads going forward can help the new belt last as long as it should.
While replacing the belt, I noticed the idler pulley looks out of place. Is that related?
Yes, this can happen when a belt breaks suddenly — the pulley can pop out of its normal seated position as tension is lost. Since you'll already have the panel open for the belt replacement, take a moment to check that the idler pulley is properly seated before closing everything back up, as this is a common and easy thing to overlook.
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 length, width, rib count, and routing configuration of the original WPW10198086 drum belt used in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, and Amana electric dryers.

ERP 316011200 Range Top Burner Spark Igniter Electrode
The 316011200 is an aftermarket replacement gas range surface burner spark igniter electrode compatible with select Frigidaire, Tappan, Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, White-Westinghouse, Kenmore, and Danby gas ranges and cooktops. The spark igniter electrode is the ceramic-and-metal tip mounted next to each surface burner that generates the electrical spark needed to ignite the gas when a burner knob is turned. When the electrode cracks, corrodes, or its internal wiring degrades, it will produce a weak or absent spark — causing the burner to not light, to require a long hold of the ignition button, or to click repeatedly without igniting.
Made from porcelain and metal, each electrode measures 3/4"L x 1/2"W x 1-3/8"H and is sold individually. One electrode is used per surface burner — most gas ranges have 4 or 6 surface burners, each with its own electrode. It directly replaces AP2123862, 5303311262, 464, AH436633, EA436633, EAP436633, PS436633, LP11343, and PD00000522. Installs in 15–30 minutes depending on model disassembly required. Note: While this part is involved in a gas appliance, the electrode itself is not a gas component — it carries only a low-voltage electrical signal from the ignition module. Always unplug the range and shut off the gas before beginning any repair.
Quick Answer
The 316011200 Range Top Burner Spark Igniter Electrode fixes Frigidaire-platform gas ranges where a surface burner won't light, requires a long hold to ignite, sparks continuously without lighting, or produces a weak clicking sound. Porcelain/metal, 3/4"L x 1/2"W x 1-3/8"H. Sold individually — one per burner. Compatible with Frigidaire, Tappan, Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, White-Westinghouse, Kenmore, and Danby gas ranges. Replaces AP2123862, 5303311262, 464, EA436633, PS436633, LP11343.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Surface burner will not light — electrode not producing a spark
Burner requires holding the ignition knob for an extended time before the gas lights
Burner sparks repeatedly (rapid clicking) without ever lighting the gas
One burner does not spark while all others work normally — that burner's electrode has failed
Weak or intermittent spark at a specific burner
Electrode visibly cracked, chipped, or tip broken off
Corrosion or moisture damage to the electrode tip or wiring from a cooking spill

Installation Notes
⚠️ Gas Appliance Safety — Unplug and Shut Off Gas Before Starting This part is installed on a gas range. Always unplug the range from the power outlet and shut off the gas supply at the shutoff valve before beginning any repair. If you smell gas at any point during or after installation, leave the area immediately and contact your gas utility provider. Do not restore gas or power until the repair is complete and you have confirmed there are no gas connections disturbed during the repair.
⚠️ Range Top Access May Require Lifting the Cooktop On most Frigidaire-platform gas ranges, the spark igniter electrodes are mounted beneath the cooktop surface and accessed by lifting the top panel — this requires removing all grates and burner caps, then lifting the top from the front. The electrode is secured by a single screw and connected to the ignition module by an insulated wire. Disconnect the wire, unscrew the mounting screw, and remove the old electrode. Install the new 316011200 electrode in the same position, tighten the mounting screw, and reconnect the wire. Important: inspect the insulated wire carefully for damage — if the wire is cracked or bare in any section, it may arc to the stove body and should be repaired with heat-resistant tape or replaced before installing the new electrode. Restore gas and power and test the burner. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, possibly a nut driver for some models.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the spark igniter electrode do?
The spark igniter electrode is the small ceramic-and-metal tip mounted next to each surface burner on a gas range. When you turn a burner knob to the "light" or "ignite" position, the ignition module sends a high-voltage electrical pulse through the wire to the electrode tip. This creates a visible electrical spark that jumps between the electrode tip and the metal burner cap, igniting the gas. The electrode itself carries only a brief electrical pulse — it does not directly handle gas — but it must be in good condition with an intact porcelain body and clean metal tip to produce a reliable, consistent spark.
One burner won't light but all the others work — is it the electrode?
Almost certainly yes. When all other burners spark normally but one does not, the fault is almost always isolated to that burner's electrode or its connecting wire — not the ignition module (which powers all burners) or the gas supply (which feeds all burners). Inspect the electrode on the non-lighting burner: look for cracks, chips, or a broken tip on the porcelain body. Also check the connecting wire for corrosion at the connection point or damage to the insulation. Replacing the 316011200 electrode on that burner will restore normal ignition in most cases.
My burner clicks continuously even when not trying to ignite — what causes this?
Continuous clicking when no burner is being lit is typically caused by moisture or food residue on the electrode tip or in the burner cap area creating an unintended electrical path — the ignition module detects a spark condition and keeps firing. Clean the electrode tip, burner cap, and burner head thoroughly with a dry cloth or soft toothbrush, and allow them to dry completely. If cleaning stops the clicking, a cracked or degraded electrode that is allowing moisture to reach the internal wiring is the likely underlying cause — replace the electrode to prevent recurrence. If the clicking persists after the burner area is completely clean and dry, the ignition module may be faulty.
How many electrodes does my gas range need?
Each surface burner on a gas range has its own dedicated spark igniter electrode — one electrode per burner. A standard 4-burner gas range uses 4 electrodes; a 5- or 6-burner range uses 5 or 6. This listing is for a single electrode. If multiple burners are not lighting, order one electrode for each affected burner. When replacing one electrode, it is a good opportunity to inspect all other electrodes for cracks or corrosion and replace any that show visible wear at the same time.
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 OEM part, but is manufactured from porcelain and metal to match the dimensions and performance of the original 316011200 surface burner spark igniter electrode.

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. Supports and centers the drum on its rear track. Replaces 5304511415, AP7990985.

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.

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

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

WP694089 Dryer Genuine OEM Blower Wheel
The WP694089 is a Genuine OEM replacement dryer blower wheel compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Roper, Estate, Crosley, Inglis, Caloric, Hardwick, and Glenwood 29-inch dryers with a lint filter on top. The blower wheel works together with the drive motor to create the airflow that makes drying possible — it draws heated air through the heating element, pushes it into and through the drum to evaporate moisture from your clothes, and exhausts it out through the vent system. Without a properly functioning blower wheel, airflow drops, drying times increase dramatically, and the dryer may overheat.
Measures 8-5/8" in diameter. Mounts on the motor's blower shaft with left-hand threads — to remove the old blower wheel, turn it clockwise (the reverse of standard threading). This blower wheel fits dryers where the motor is mounted in the rear of the cabinet, not the front. Common causes of failure: the internal sleeve wears out over time, allowing the wheel to wobble on the motor shaft; lint, socks, or small clothing articles escape past the lint filter and jam the wheel; or the plastic fins crack and break from age or debris impact.

Installs in 30–60 minutes with basic hand tools.

Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer takes too long to dry clothes — reduced airflow from a worn or damaged blower wheel
Loud thumping, rattling, or scraping noise during operation — debris caught in the wheel or broken fins
Weak or no airflow from the exhaust vent — wheel wobbling or not spinning properly
Clothes still damp at the end of the cycle — inadequate air circulation
Dryer overheating — restricted airflow causing heat buildup
Blower wheel wobbling on the motor shaft — worn internal sleeve
Sock, small garment, or lint clump jammed in the blower wheel
Blower wheel fins cracked or broken from debris impact or age
Dryer running but drum not turning — severely damaged wheel preventing motor from spinning

If your part number is not listed above, contact our support team before ordering and we will verify compatibility. Note: some Whirlpool dryers use a different blower wheel (such as the 697772) — verify your original part number or model number before ordering.
Compatibility
This blower wheel is compatible with select 29-inch dryers with a lint filter on top from the following brands:
Whirlpool dryers — 29" models with lint filter on top and rear-mounted motor (WED, LER, LEQ, LE series and related)
Kenmore / Sears dryers — select Whirlpool-built models (110-series)
Maytag dryers (select Whirlpool-built models)
KitchenAid dryers (select models)
Jenn-Air dryers (select models)
Amana dryers (select models)
Magic Chef dryers (select models)
Admiral dryers (select models)
Roper dryers (select models)
Estate dryers (select models)
Crosley, Inglis, Caloric, Hardwick, Glenwood dryers (select Whirlpool-built models)
Note: This blower wheel fits dryers where the motor is mounted in the rear of the cabinet (not the front). If your dryer has the motor in the front, this is not the correct blower wheel. Confirm your dryer model number before ordering. Also: before replacing the blower wheel due to noise, check for trapped lint, socks, or small garments caught in the wheel — clearing the debris may resolve the noise without needing a new part.
Key Features
Dryer blower wheel — draws heated air through the heating element, circulates it through the drum, and exhausts it through the vent system
Resolves "takes too long to dry," "loud noise," "weak airflow," "overheating," and "clothes still damp" symptoms when caused by a worn or damaged blower wheel
8-5/8" diameter — matches the original OEM dimensions
Left-hand threads — mounts on the motor's blower shaft (turn clockwise to remove, counterclockwise to install)

Installation Notes
⚠️ Disconnect Power Before Starting — 240V Circuit (Electric) or Gas Line (Gas) — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power at the breaker before beginning — electric dryers operate on a 240V circuit. For gas dryers, also shut off the gas supply. Wear work gloves and safety glasses. Pull the dryer away from the wall. Access the blower wheel by removing the dryer's back panel — remove the screws securing the rear panel and set it aside. Locate the blower housing at the bottom rear of the dryer, connected to the motor. The blower wheel is inside this housing, mounted on the motor's blower shaft. Remove the blower housing cover or clamp to expose the wheel. Important: the blower wheel has left-hand threads. To remove the old blower wheel, turn it clockwise (the opposite of standard threading). If the wheel is stuck on the shaft, hold the motor pulley on the other end of the shaft to prevent it from turning while you unscrew the wheel. If the old wheel's plastic hub has seized on the shaft from age, you may need to use a flat-blade screwdriver to gently pry it — some customers report the old wheel breaks apart during removal, which is fine since you're replacing it. Before installing the new wheel, clean out any lint, debris, socks, or clothing articles from the blower housing. Thread the new 694089 blower wheel onto the motor shaft counterclockwise (remember: left-hand threads — counterclockwise tightens). Tighten firmly by hand. Reassemble the blower housing, reinstall the rear panel, push the dryer back into place, and restore power. Run a test cycle and check airflow at the exhaust vent. Tools needed: Nut driver, Phillips screwdriver, flat-blade screwdriver, work gloves, safety glasses.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer is making a loud thumping or rattling noise — is the blower wheel the cause?
It's one of the most common causes of dryer noise, yes. There are two main ways the blower wheel causes noise: first, lint, socks, or small clothing articles can escape past the lint filter and get caught in the wheel, where they hit the housing with each rotation — producing a rhythmic thumping or scraping sound. Second, the wheel's internal sleeve can wear out over time, allowing the wheel to wobble loosely on the motor shaft, which creates a rattling or vibrating noise. Before ordering a new wheel, check for trapped debris first — pull the back panel and inspect the blower housing. Clearing a stuck sock may solve the problem immediately. If the wheel wobbles freely on the shaft or has cracked/broken fins, it needs replacement.
Why does the blower wheel have left-hand threads?
The left-hand (reverse) threading is by design. The motor shaft spins in a direction that would naturally loosen a standard right-hand threaded wheel over time. By using left-hand threads, the motor's rotation actually tightens the wheel onto the shaft during operation, preventing it from working loose while the dryer runs. This means: turn clockwise to remove the old wheel (opposite of what you'd expect), and turn counterclockwise to tighten the new wheel onto the shaft. Many customers get stuck at this step because they instinctively turn counterclockwise to loosen — so if the wheel seems stuck, try turning it the other way first.
My dryer takes forever to dry — is the blower wheel the issue?
It can be, but check the easier things first. Long drying times are usually caused by restricted airflow, and the most common culprit is a clogged or kinked exhaust vent hose — clean the entire vent path from the dryer to the outside wall first. Also clean the lint filter and check the lint trap housing for buildup. If the vent system is clear and drying times are still long, the blower wheel is a strong candidate: a worn sleeve that lets the wheel wobble reduces its ability to move air efficiently, and cracked fins reduce airflow even if the wheel still spins. You can test by running the dryer and checking the airflow at the outside exhaust vent — weak or no airflow with a clear vent path points to the blower wheel.
Does this fit dryers with the motor in the front?
No — the 694089 blower wheel is designed for 29" Whirlpool-platform dryers where the motor is mounted in the rear of the cabinet. If your dryer has the motor in the front, it uses a different blower wheel. The easiest way to confirm: look at the back of the dryer — if you can see the motor and blower housing when the rear panel is removed, the motor is in the rear and this wheel fits (verify your model number too). If the motor is accessible from the front, this is not the correct part. Contact our support team with your model number and we'll confirm.
The old blower wheel is stuck on the shaft — how do I get it off?
First, make sure you're turning it the right direction — this has left-hand threads, so turn clockwise to loosen (the opposite of normal). If it's truly stuck from age or corrosion: hold the motor pulley on the other end of the shaft with one hand (or use pliers wrapped in a cloth) to keep the shaft from spinning, then turn the blower wheel clockwise with the other hand. If the plastic hub has seized, a flat-blade screwdriver can help gently pry it. In many cases, an old seized blower wheel will crack and break apart during removal — that's perfectly fine since you're replacing it anyway. Just make sure all the old pieces are cleared from the blower housing before installing the new wheel.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM replacement part. It is a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, this original WP694089 blower wheel used in compatible Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, and related 29" dryers.

XPARTCO 12138200000320 Dryer Door Catch
The XPARTCO 12138200000320 is an aftermarket replacement dryer door catch compatible with select Midea and Insignia dryers. The door catch is a small plastic spring-clip mechanism mounted on the dryer door that snaps over the door strike o12138200000320 n the cabinet opening to hold the door firmly closed during operation. When the door is closed and latched, the door switch is activated — signaling the control board that it is safe to run. When the catch breaks, cracks, or loses its spring tension, the door will not stay closed, the door switch will not activate properly, and the dryer will either not start or will stop mid-cycle.
This is a snap-in replacement catch — the color or exact finish may vary by production run. It directly replaces AP7152622 and PS18161385. Sold individually. Installs in under 5 minutes — no tools required in most cases.
Quick Answer

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting Disconnect power before beginning. Open the dryer door and locate the old door catch — it is a small plastic clip mounted on the inside of the door or on the cabinet opening around the door. Press the tabs on the old catch to release it from its mounting slot and pull it free. Note the orientation before removing. 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.
