279827 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer Drive Motor The 279827 is a Genuine OEM Whirlpool replacement dryer drive motor with pre-attached pulley, compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, Estate, and Kenmore dryers. The drive motor is the component that powers everything that moves in your dryer — it turns the drum belt (which rotates the drum to tumble clothes) and simultaneously drives the blower wheel (which pushes heated air through the drum and out the exhaust vent). When the motor fails, the dryer either won't start, won't tumble, stops mid-cycle, or makes loud humming, buzzing, or grinding noises. This is a dual-shaft motor: the drive shaft (1-3/4" long) connects to the drum belt via the pre-attached pulley, and the blower shaft (1-3/4" long) drives the blower wheel. The pulley is pre-attached and is not available separately — if your old motor's pulley is worn, this replacement includes a new one. As a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications, the 279827 is one of the most widely used dryer motors across the Whirlpool platform, replacing over 70 legacy part numbers spanning decades of production. Key cross-references include W10448892, W10396029, W10194250, 8066206, 3395654, 3398046, 3391888, 3395652, AP3094245, PS334304, and EAP334304. Includes the motor assembly, two 1/8" insulated female terminals, and instructions. Before replacing the motor, check the thermal fuse (electric dryers) and door switch first — a blown fuse or failed switch produces identical no-start symptoms and is a far cheaper fix. Installs in 45–90 minutes with basic hand tools.

This is one of the most extensively cross-referenced parts in the Whirlpool catalog. If your old motor shows a part number not listed here, contact our support team with your dryer model number and we will verify compatibility. Compatibility This drive motor is compatible with select dryers from the following brands: Whirlpool dryers — electric and gas models across many generations (WED, WGD, LER, LGR, LEQ, LGQ series and many more) Maytag dryers — select Whirlpool-built models (MED, MGD, MEDC, MEDX series) KitchenAid dryers (select models) Jenn-Air dryers (select models) Amana dryers — select models (NED, NGD series) Magic Chef dryers (select models) Admiral dryers (select models) Norge dryers (select models) Roper dryers (select models) Estate dryers (select models) Kenmore / Sears dryers — select Whirlpool-built models (110-series) Important — Before Replacing the Motor: A dryer that won't start can be caused by several components that are far cheaper and easier to replace than the motor. Before ordering, check the thermal fuse (electric dryers — test for continuity with a multimeter), the door switch (test for continuity when pressed), and the start switch. All three produce identical no-start symptoms. Only replace the motor after ruling out these common causes — a motor replacement is a significant repair, and it's far cheaper to replace a $10 thermal fuse than a $150+ motor. Always verify your dryer model number before ordering.

For gas dryers, also shut off the gas supply at the shutoff valve. Wear work gloves and safety glasses. Pull the dryer away from the wall. Remove the lint screen and the screws beneath it. For most Whirlpool-platform dryers, remove the top panel by releasing the spring clips at the front, then detach the front panel by removing the screws at the top corners. Disconnect the door switch wires and set the front panel aside. Support the drum and slide it forward to access the motor at the bottom rear. Remove the drum belt from the motor pulley and idler pulley. Photograph the motor's wiring connections before disconnecting. Disconnect the electrical connections from the motor. Remove the blower wheel from the old motor's blower shaft — this typically requires a clamp or clip removal (the blower wheel threads off counterclockwise on many models). Remove the motor mounting clip/bracket and lift out the old motor. Install the new 279827 motor in the same position. Transfer the blower wheel onto the new motor's blower shaft and secure it. Reinstall the motor mounting clip/bracket. Reconnect the electrical connections using the included insulated female terminals if needed (match your photos). Re-route the drum belt around the drum, through the idler pulley, and onto the motor pulley. Reassemble the front panel, top panel, and lint screen. Restore power (and gas for gas dryers) and run a test cycle — confirm the drum spins smoothly and heated air flows through the drum. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, socket/ratchet set, putty knife (for spring clips), needle-nose pliers, work gloves, safety glasses. Frequently Asked Questions My dryer won't start — is the motor definitely the problem? Not necessarily — and this is important because a motor replacement is a significant repair. A dryer that won't start can be caused by several components that are far cheaper and easier to replace. Before ordering the motor, check these first: 1) Thermal fuse (electric dryers) — a blown thermal fuse is the single most common cause of a no-start condition. Test for continuity with a multimeter; if it reads open, replace the fuse (~$10). 2) Door switch — test for continuity when pressed; if it's failed, the dryer won't start as a safety measure. 3) Start switch — if pressing the start button produces no response at all, the start switch itself may have failed. Only replace the motor after ruling these out. Signs that point specifically to the motor: a loud humming or buzzing when you press start (motor trying but can't turn), grinding or squealing from the motor area, or a motor that runs intermittently and cuts out. Why does the motor hum but the drum doesn't turn? A humming motor that won't turn is a classic sign of a seized or failing motor — the windings are energized (hence the hum) but the shaft can't rotate because the bearings have failed or the motor is mechanically stuck. This can also be caused by the blower wheel being jammed with lint or debris, preventing the shaft from turning — so before condemning the motor, check the blower wheel for obstructions. If the blower wheel spins freely and the motor still hums without turning, the motor has failed and needs replacement. Note: a humming motor that won't start will eventually trip the thermal fuse as a safety measure, so you may need to replace both the motor and the thermal fuse. Why are there so many cross-reference part numbers for this motor? The 279827 is one of the most extensively cross-referenced parts in the Whirlpool catalog because it's been the standard dryer drive motor across the Whirlpool platform for decades — spanning Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Roper, Estate, Kenmore, and many other brands that Whirlpool manufactures for. Over the years, the motor has been assigned different part numbers by different brands, distributors, and catalog systems (W10448892, W10396029, 8066206, 3395654, 3398046, etc.), but they all point to the same motor. If your old motor shows ANY of those numbers, the 279827 is the correct replacement. Does this motor come with the pulley? Yes — the pulley is pre-attached to the motor and is not available separately. The pulley is what the drum belt rides on, transferring the motor's rotation to the drum. If your old motor's pulley was worn or grooved (a common cause of belt slipping and squealing), the new 279827 includes a fresh pulley. You will need to transfer the blower wheel from your old motor to the new one — the blower wheel is not included. Should I replace the belt and idler pulley while changing the motor? It's strongly recommended. When you replace the motor, the dryer is already apart and both the drum belt and idler pulley are right there in your hands. All three components wear from the same friction and heat cycles, and installing a new motor with a worn belt or a seized idler pulley puts unnecessary stress on the new motor from day one. Many technicians replace the belt, idler pulley, and drum support rollers as standard maintenance whenever the dryer is opened for a motor replacement — the combined cost of these parts is modest compared to the labor of disassembling the dryer again later. Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part? This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications. It is the exact same drive motor with pulley installed in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, Estate, and Kenmore dryers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

XPARTCO AGM30045804 Dryer Thermostat Kit The XPARTCO AGM30045804 is an aftermarket replacement high-limit thermostat and thermistor kit for LG dryers. These two components work together in the same temperature-regulation circuit: the thermistor is a temperature sensor, mounted in the blower housing with its wire harness included, that continuously reports drum temperature to the control board so it can fine-tune heat output throughout the cycle. The high-limit thermostat is a safety switch that automatically shuts off the heating element if temperatures climb past a safe threshold, then resets itself once the dryer cools, without needing to be replaced the way a thermal fuse does. Because these two parts share the same circuit and tend to wear or fail around a similar timeline, LG sells and services them together as one kit rather than as separate individual parts. Symptoms of failure in this circuit include the dryer overheating (which can scorch clothing or, left unaddressed, pose a fire risk), the dryer running with little or no heat, drying times that have become inconsistent, an error code related to temperature control on the display, or clothes coming out damp after a full cycle. It directly replaces 6931EL3003C, 6323EL2001B, 6931EL3003F, 6931EL3004B, AP7206815, EAP16732335, and PS16732335. As an aftermarket replacement, the AGM30045804 kit is built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. Quick Answer The XPARTCO AGM30045804 Dryer Thermostat Kit fixes LG (and select Kenmore, GE-branded LG-built) dryers with overheating, little or no heat, inconsistent drying times, a temperature-related error code, or clothes coming out damp after a full cycle. High-limit thermostat + thermistor with wire harness. Replaces 6931EL3003C, 6323EL2001B, 6931EL3003F, 6931EL3004B, AP7206815, EAP16732335, PS16732335. If you've already replaced the high-limit thermostat alone and the problem returns, this combined kit — which also addresses the thermistor — is the next step. What's In The Kit Component Function High-Limit Thermostat Automatically shuts off the heating element if temperature exceeds safe limits, then resets itself once the dryer cools. Thermistor (with wire harness) Continuously senses drum/blower housing temperature and reports it to the control board to regulate heat output throughout the cycle. Common Problems This Kit Fixes Dryer overheating, sometimes scorching or damaging clothing Dryer running with little or no heat Inconsistent drying times — cycle shuts off too early or runs longer than necessary Temperature-related error code displayed on the control panel Clothes remaining damp after a full drying cycle High-limit thermostat that keeps tripping repeatedly Dryer that has already had its high-limit thermostat replaced once but the problem returned Cross Reference Information Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models.

Key Features Aftermarket replacement built to match LG's factory-specified resistance values and switch thresholds Combined kit addresses the high-limit thermostat and thermistor together, since both share the same temperature-regulation circuit Resolves "overheating," "little or no heat," "inconsistent drying," and "damp clothes after a full cycle" symptoms Thermistor ships with its wire harness included High-limit thermostat resets automatically after tripping — no replacement needed after each trip Direct drop-in replacement for both original components Replaces 6931EL3003C, 6323EL2001B, 6931EL3003F, 6931EL3004B, AP7206815, EAP16732335, and PS16732335 Compatible with LG and select Kenmore and GE-branded LG-built dryers Aftermarket replacement built to OEM-equivalent quality standards Product Specifications Part Number AGM30045804 Part Type Dryer High-Limit Thermostat and Thermistor Kit OEM Part Number AGM30045804 Condition Aftermarket Replacement Brand LG Kit Contents High-limit thermostat + thermistor with wire harness Thermistor Location Blower housing High-Limit Thermostat Type Automatically resetting Repair Difficulty Easy to Moderate — 30 to 60 minutes Compatible Brands LG, select Kenmore, GE (LG-built models) Installation Notes ⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Let It Cool Fully First Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning, and allow the dryer to cool completely if it was recently run. Wear work gloves. Access on many LG models follows this general sequence: remove the lint screen, then remove the two front panel screws underneath it, the two screws on the face of the panel, and the two screws holding the blower cover in place. Disconnect the door switch connector and remove the front panel. With the front open, release the drive belt from the tensioner and remove the drum to access the blower housing where the thermistor is located. Photograph the wiring connections before disconnecting anything, since the thermistor and high-limit thermostat can be easy to confuse with other similar-looking components nearby. Disconnect and remove the old thermistor and high-limit thermostat, noting their exact mounting positions. Install the new components from this kit in the same positions, reconnecting wiring exactly as photographed. Reinstall the drum, re-tension the belt over the tensioner, and reassemble the front panel, blower cover, and lint screen area in reverse order. Restore power and run a full test cycle to confirm normal, consistent heating with no premature shutoffs. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions I already replaced the high-limit thermostat, but it keeps tripping. Why would I need this kit instead? This is a well-documented pattern. If the thermistor — the sensor that reports temperature to the control board — is misreading heat, the control can keep driving the heating element past the point where the high-limit thermostat has to trip repeatedly to protect the dryer, even with a brand-new thermostat installed. Replacing the thermistor alongside the thermostat addresses the root cause rather than just the symptom, which is exactly why LG packages them together as one kit. What's the difference between the thermistor and the high-limit thermostat? The thermistor is a sensor, not a switch — it's a variable resistor whose resistance changes with temperature, and the control board reads that value continuously to regulate heat output throughout the cycle. The high-limit thermostat is a safety switch that does one job: it shuts off the heating element automatically if temperature exceeds a safe limit, then resets itself once things cool down. A failing thermistor causes inconsistent or inaccurate heat regulation; a failing high-limit thermostat causes the dryer to shut off unexpectedly or fail to protect against overheating. My parts diagram shows more thermostat-like parts than what's in this kit. Did I order the wrong thing? Not necessarily — some LG dryer models have additional related components, such as a separate blower thermostat, that are not part of this specific kit. This kit covers the high-limit thermostat and thermistor. If your repair calls for additional related parts, or if you're not sure exactly which components your model needs, contact our support team with your model number and we'll help you confirm the complete parts list before you order. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine LG OEM part, but is manufactured to match the resistance values, switch threshold, and wire harness configuration of the original AGM30045804 high-limit thermostat and thermistor kit used in compatible LG, Kenmore, and GE-branded LG-built dryers.

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.

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.

XPARTCO 8557403 Dryer High-Limit Thermostat with Thermistor Replaces WP8557403 The XPARTCO 8557403 is an aftermarket replacement dryer high-limit thermostat and thermistor sensor assembly compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Amana, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Roper, Admiral, Norge, and Magic Chef electric dryers — including the Whirlpool Duet and Maytag MED series. This single component combines two functions: the high-limit thermostat (rated L146-44C, opens at 295°F) acts as a resettable safety switch that cuts power to the heating element if the dryer air temperature exceeds safe limits, and the integrated 50-ohm thermistor continuously monitors air temperature and sends resistance-based readings to the control board to regulate the drying cycle. When this part fails — whether the thermostat opens permanently or the thermistor provides incorrect temperature data — the dryer may produce no heat, run too hot, take too long to dry, overheat, or display temperature-related error codes. It measures 1-5/8"L x 1-5/8"W x 2"H with approximately 1-5/8" between mounting holes and is constructed from black/gray plastic and metal. It directly replaces WP8557403, 1180102, AP6013164, EAP11746386, PD00003588, and PS11746386.

The 8557403 thermostat/thermistor assembly is typically located on the heating element housing or duct inside the dryer — access it by removing the back panel. On Whirlpool Duet and Maytag front-load-style dryers, the component may be accessible by removing the lower front panel. Photograph all wire connections before disconnecting — the thermistor wires and thermostat wires must be reconnected to the correct terminals. Remove the two mounting screws and pull the old assembly off. Note the position and orientation before removing. Install the new 8557403 assembly in the same position and orientation, reconnect all wires, and reinstall the mounting screws and panel. Restore power and run a test heat cycle to confirm normal operation. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver. Frequently Asked Questions What makes this part unusual — why does it combine a thermostat and a thermistor? The WP8557403 is a combined assembly used on newer Whirlpool Duet and Maytag MED series dryers that use electronic temperature control rather than purely mechanical thermostats. The high-limit thermostat (L146-44C) provides the traditional safety function — it opens the circuit if dryer temperature exceeds 295°F. The integrated NTC thermistor continuously reports resistance-based temperature data to the electronic control board, which uses the data to regulate the heating element and control cycle timing. Both functions are built into a single compact housing, making this a unique part that replaces what older dryers used to handle with separate components. How do I test the thermostat and thermistor? Set your multimeter to continuity or resistance mode. For the thermostat portion: probe the thermostat terminals — at room temperature, a working thermostat shows closed continuity (near-zero resistance). An open circuit at room temperature confirms the thermostat has failed. For the thermistor portion: probe the thermistor terminals — at room temperature (approximately 25°C/77°F), a working 50-ohm NTC thermistor should read approximately 50 ohms. A reading of zero ohms (shorted) or open circuit (no continuity) confirms the thermistor has failed. Either failure mode warrants replacing the complete 8557403 assembly. What is the difference between 8557403 and WP8557403? These are the same part. WP8557403 is the updated Whirlpool OEM part number that superseded the original 8557403. The 1180102 is also a cross-reference for this same assembly. This aftermarket replacement is compatible with all of these numbers. Do I also need to replace the thermal fuse or cycling thermostat? The 8557403 replaces the high-limit thermostat and thermistor mounted on the heating element housing area. The exhaust duct thermal fuse (WP3392519 on most Whirlpool-family dryers) and cycling thermostat (WP3387134) are separate components located on the exhaust duct and are not included in or replaced by the 8557403. If your dryer has no heat, test all thermal components before ordering — check the 8557403 assembly, the thermal fuse, and the cycling thermostat, then order only what has failed. If an overheating event caused the high-limit to fail, the other thermal components may be stressed as well. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured from plastic and metal with an L146-44C thermostat and 50-ohm NTC thermistor to match the specifications and performance of the original WP8557403 assembly.

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.

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. It directly replaces WP694089, WP694089VP, AP6010602, 279500, 279711, 299678, 338840, 343939, 343941, 686172, 695499, DE601, PS11743785, AH383953, EA383953, and PS383953. Installs in 30–60 minutes with basic hand tools.

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) Designed for 29" Whirlpool-built dryers with lint filter on top and rear-mounted motor Replaces WP694089, WP694089VP, AP6010602, 279500, 279711, 299678, 338840, 343939, 343941, 686172, 695499, DE601, PS11743785, AH383953, EA383953, and PS383953 Compatible with Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Roper, Estate, Crosley, Inglis, and more Genuine OEM replacement part.

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.
