XPARTCO PB04001 Oven Bake Igniter for Viking Replaces 065650-000
The XPARTCO PB04001 is an aftermarket replacement oven bake igniter compatible with select Viking gas ranges with hot surface ignition systems, including the CVDSC, EVGIC, EVGRT, VDSC, VGIC, VGRT, VGSC, VGSS, and VGGT series. The oven bake igniter is a flat glow bar hot surface igniter — it draws electrical current through the oven's gas safety valve to open it, then heats to ignition temperature to light the gas burner. When the igniter weakens or fails, the oven will not heat, will take too long to reach temperature, or the igniter will glow but the burner will never light.
This is a silicon carbide flat-style igniter with a 2.25-inch white ceramic body and 4.5-inch overall length. Wire leads extend approximately 12.5 inches from the igniter body with female insulated terminals for plug-in installation. Ceramic wire nuts for spliced installation are included. Rated 3.2–3.6 amps at 120V AC — the correct amperage range to open the Viking oven gas safety valve. It directly replaces 065650-000, PB040001, 792263, AP5315579, AP7180264, SGR4001, SGR40001, GR40001, RP712, and AR402. Sold individually. Installs in 15–25 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Gas Appliance Safety Warning This part is used in gas ranges. Always shut off the gas supply at the shutoff valve and unplug the range from the electrical outlet 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. If you are not confident working on gas appliances, have this part installed by a qualified appliance technician.
⚠️ Handle With Extreme Care — Fragile Silicon Carbide Element The silicon carbide igniter element is extremely fragile and will crack or break with minimal force. Never touch the ceramic bar with bare hands — oils from skin will damage the element and cause premature failure. Handle only by the bracket, wires, and ceramic wire nut connectors. To install: unplug the range and shut off gas. Remove the oven racks and oven bottom panel. Disconnect the old igniter's wire connector (or cut wires if splicing). Unscrew the mounting bracket from the burner assembly and remove the old igniter. Position the new PB04001 igniter on the burner bracket and secure with the mounting screws. If the female terminals plug directly into the existing wiring, connect them. If wires need to be spliced, use the included ceramic wire nuts — never use standard plastic wire nuts near the oven burner. Reinstall the oven bottom panel and racks. Restore gas and power, then run a test cycle to confirm the igniter heats and the burner lights within 60 seconds. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does a hot surface igniter work on a Viking gas oven?
The hot surface igniter is wired in series with the oven's gas safety valve. When the oven is turned on, electrical current flows through the igniter, heating the silicon carbide element until it reaches ignition temperature — typically glowing bright orange. As the element heats, its electrical resistance changes and the current draw increases to 3.2–3.6 amps. At that amperage level, the gas safety valve opens and gas flows to the burner, where the glowing igniter ignites it. If the igniter weakens and can no longer draw enough current to open the safety valve, the oven will glow but the burner will never fire — this is the most common cause of a Viking oven not heating.
What is the difference between PB04001 and PB040001?
PB04001 and PB040001 are the same oven igniter — PB04001 is the shortened version of the PB040001 part number. Both refer to the same flat silicon carbide glow bar igniter used on compatible Viking gas ranges. This listing covers both designations and the part functions identically regardless of which number is referenced.
How do I know if my oven igniter has failed?
The most common sign is an oven that glows orange but the burner never lights. A healthy igniter glows bright orange and ignites the burner within about 60 seconds. If it glows dimly, stays on indefinitely without the burner lighting, or does not glow at all when the oven is turned on, the igniter has failed. You can also test with a multimeter — with the oven cold and unplugged, a working igniter shows resistance of approximately 40–90 ohms; an open circuit confirms failure. Visually inspect the element for cracks, dark spots, or a broken ceramic bar.
Why must I use ceramic wire nuts instead of standard plastic ones?
Standard plastic wire nuts are not rated for the temperatures inside an oven cavity — they will melt or degrade near the burner, exposing bare wires and creating a safety hazard. Ceramic wire nuts (included with this igniter) are heat-rated for oven burner temperatures and provide a safe, permanent connection when splicing is required. Always use only ceramic wire nuts for any wiring connections near the oven burner.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Viking OEM part, but is manufactured from silicon carbide and high-temperature materials to match the electrical specifications and dimensions of the original 065650-000 oven bake igniter.

DG94-01496A Genuine OEM Samsung Gas Cooktop Valve Assembly
The DG94-01496A is a Genuine OEM Samsung replacement gas cooktop auxiliary valve assembly compatible with select Samsung gas cooktops in the NA30K, NA30N, NA36K, and related series. The valve assembly is the mechanical component that connects the burner knob to the gas supply manifold — when you turn the knob, the valve precisely regulates the flow of gas to the burner, controlling the flame size from low simmer to high heat. Without a properly functioning valve, the burner can fail to light, stay lit, shut off when turned, or stick in position making the knob unable to turn.
This is the auxiliary (single-flow) burner valve, used in burner positions that have a single flame ring. Samsung cooktops typically use multiple valve assemblies — one per burner position — and the center burner (dual-flame) uses a different dual valve assembly. As a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Samsung to factory specifications, the DG94-01496A directly replaces AP6049694, EAP12072702, PD00052726, and PS12072702. Important: this is a gas appliance part — installation requires shutting off the gas supply, working safely with gas connections, and leak-testing after installation. Installs in 45–60 minutes with basic hand tools by experienced DIYers, or call a qualified appliance technician.
Quick Answer
The DG94-01496A Genuine OEM Samsung Gas Cooktop Valve Assembly fixes Samsung gas cooktops with a burner that won't light, won't shut off, where the knob is stuck or won't turn, or where flame size won't adjust properly. Auxiliary (single-flow) burner valve. Genuine OEM. Replaces AP6049694, EAP12072702, PD00052726, PS12072702. Compatible with Samsung NA30K6550TG/AA, NA30K6550TS/AA, NA30N6555TG/AA, NA36K6550TG/AA, NA36K7750TG/AA and related gas cooktops. Center (dual-flame) burner uses a different valve — confirm which burner position before ordering.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Burner won't light — gas not flowing through the valve to the burner
Burner won't shut off — valve stuck open, gas continuing to flow even with the knob turned to "OFF"
Knob stuck and won't turn — valve internally seized (often caused by water entering during cleaning)
Burner flame size won't adjust — valve unable to modulate gas flow
Flame too high even on low setting — valve not restricting flow properly
Flame too low or weak on high setting — valve partially blocked
Gas smell at the cooktop or burner area — valve seal failure
Difficulty turning the knob — internal valve corrosion or wear

Installation Notes
⚠️ Gas Appliance Safety Warning This part is installed in a gas cooktop. Always shut off the gas supply at the shutoff valve before beginning any repair, and disconnect electrical power to the cooktop. After installation is complete, ALL gas connections must be checked for leaks using a soap-and-water solution or an approved gas leak detector before restoring full gas service. If you smell gas at any point during or after installation, leave the area immediately and contact your gas utility provider. If you are not comfortable working with gas connections, have this repair done by a qualified appliance technician. Improper installation of gas components can cause fire, explosion, or carbon monoxide hazards.
⚠️ Wear Work Gloves — Significant Disassembly Required Shut off the gas supply at the shutoff valve and disconnect electrical power. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Remove the burner caps, burner heads, and grates from the cooktop surface. The valve assembly is accessed by removing the cooktop top surface — this typically involves removing 16–20 screws around the perimeter of the cooktop to lift the top free. Photograph everything as you go, including the gas line routing and electrical wire connections. Once the top is off, locate the specific valve being replaced (confirm against the parts diagram and the burner position). Disconnect the gas line from the valve (use two wrenches — one to hold the manifold, one to turn the nut — to avoid stressing the manifold). Disconnect any electrical connections to the valve (spark ignitor wires) and remove the valve's mounting hardware. Install the new DG94-01496A valve in the same position with the same orientation, reconnect the gas line and any electrical connections, and secure the mounting hardware. Reinstall the cooktop top, burner heads, caps, and grates. Before restoring full gas service, turn on the gas at the shutoff valve and use a soap-and-water solution or gas leak detector on all gas connections to confirm there are no leaks. Restore electrical power and test the burner by lighting it and confirming smooth flame control across the full range of the knob. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, set of wrenches (two needed at each gas connection), gas leak detector or soap solution, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my burner knob stuck and won't turn?
A stuck burner knob is one of the most common symptoms of a failed valve assembly on Samsung gas cooktops — and one frequent root cause is water entering the valve during knob cleaning. When the knobs are washed (especially with soap and water) and water enters the valve through the knob shaft, it can rust the internal valve mechanism, causing the knob to seize. Once the valve is internally corroded, no amount of force on the knob will free it without risking damage — replacing the valve is the correct repair. To prevent recurrence on the remaining valves: clean knobs by wiping them in place rather than removing and submerging them, and dry the knob shaft area carefully before reinstalling.
Does this fit all five burners on my Samsung cooktop?
Not necessarily. Samsung gas cooktops typically use multiple valve assemblies — the surrounding burner positions (front-left, front-right, rear-left, rear-right) use auxiliary single-flow valves like the DG94-01496A, while the center burner is typically a dual-flame burner that uses a different dual-valve assembly. If you're replacing valves on more than one burner, confirm which position each valve is needed for and verify the part numbers in your specific model's parts diagram. The valves often look similar but are not interchangeable across positions.
Can I do this repair myself, or should I hire a technician?
Replacing a gas valve is a manageable DIY repair for someone comfortable with mechanical work, but it does involve disconnecting and reconnecting gas connections — which means leak testing is mandatory and any error can have serious safety consequences. If you have experience with plumbing or gas appliance work and you're confident in your ability to make tight, leak-free connections and properly test them, this is a feasible DIY. If you've never worked with gas connections before, hiring a qualified appliance technician (typical cost $200–$400) is the safer option. The PartsDr customer story mentioned that a quote from a service technician was $750 for this repair, so the DIY savings are substantial — but only if done safely.
My cooktop has more than one stuck or failed valve — should I replace them all at once?
If multiple valves have failed at the same time, it's worth considering. Once the cooktop top is off, all valves are accessible — replacing additional valves only adds 5–10 minutes per valve. Since the valves are exposed to the same age, use, and potential water intrusion, multiple valve failures often indicate the others are heading the same way. However, valve part numbers may differ by burner position (the center dual-flame valve is different from the auxiliary single-flow valves) — make sure you order the correct valve for each specific position.
Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Samsung to factory specifications. It is the exact same gas cooktop valve assembly installed in compatible Samsung gas cooktops from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

WP3387747 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer Heating Element
The WP3387747 is a Genuine OEM Whirlpool replacement dryer heating element assembly compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, Roper, Estate, Crosley, Inglis, Admiral, Jenn-Air, and Magic Chef electric dryers — particularly higher-capacity and newer-generation Duet, Cabrio, HE, and GEW/GEQ series models. The heating element is the primary heat source in an electric dryer — a nickel-chromium resistance coil wound on ceramic insulators inside a steel housing. When the coil burns through, the circuit opens and the dryer produces no heat. When the coil shorts to the housing, the dryer runs too hot or heats continuously after the cycle ends — which is a fire hazard requiring immediate repair.
This Genuine OEM part is manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications and is rated at 5200W / 240V with two 5/16" male terminals. Note: Whirlpool updated the wattage of this element from the original 5400W down to 5200W — the WP3387747 at 5200W is the correct current OEM replacement for all compatible models. The thermostat and thermal fuse are not included and should be inspected and replaced separately if needed. It directly replaces 3387747, W11344457, W11045584, 80003, 525502, AP6008281, PS11741416, and additional cross-reference numbers. Installs in 20–45 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Do Not Touch the Coil Wire Disconnect power before beginning. The heating element housing is accessible from the lower front panel of the dryer on most Duet/Cabrio HE models — remove the front kick panel to access the heater housing without fully disassembling the dryer. For other models, remove the back panel. Before touching the new element, review the wiring layout of the old element so you can reconnect wires to the correct terminals. Do not touch the nickel-chromium coil wire with bare hands at any point — skin oils on the wire cause hot spots that will prematurely burn the element. Handle only by the frame, terminals, and housing. Photograph the existing wiring before disconnecting. Disconnect the element terminal wires and the thermostat and thermal fuse wires. Unscrew the housing and remove the old element. Install the new WP3387747 element, reconnect all wiring in the same positions, reinstall the housing and panels, restore power, and run a test heat cycle. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver.
Frequently Asked Questions
My original element was 5400W but this one is 5200W — is that correct?
Yes — Whirlpool intentionally updated the wattage of this heating element from 5400W to 5200W during a design revision. The WP3387747 at 5200W is the current correct OEM replacement for all compatible models that previously used the higher-wattage element. While the wattage is slightly lower, the element is designed to provide equivalent drying performance within the thermal control system of compatible dryers. The updated wattage is by manufacturer design and does not indicate a defect or an incorrect part.
How do I test if the heating element has failed?
Unplug the dryer and disconnect the element terminals. Set your multimeter to continuity or resistance mode. A working element shows resistance — typically around 9–12 ohms for a 5200W/240V element. An open circuit confirms the coil has burned through. Also test each terminal individually against the metal housing frame — a working element shows no continuity between either terminal and the housing. If continuity exists between a terminal and the housing, the element coil is shorted to ground and must be replaced immediately — do not operate the dryer in this condition.
What is the difference between WP3387747 and 279838?
Both are Genuine OEM Whirlpool dryer heating elements, but they are for different model generations and are not interchangeable. The 279838 (5400W, 240V) is for standard-capacity Whirlpool-family dryers — many WTW/NED series and standard front-load models. The WP3387747 (5200W, 240V) is for higher-capacity and newer-generation models including Whirlpool Duet, Cabrio, HE, and GEW/GEQ series. Always verify your exact model number to confirm which heating element is correct for your dryer before ordering.
Why is it important not to touch the element coil wire?
The heating element coil is made of nickel-chromium wire that reaches very high temperatures during operation. Oils from skin contact leave microscopic residue on the wire that creates hot spots when the element heats up — these hot spots cause premature burnout at the contaminated area, often within a few months of installation. Handle the new element by its steel frame, ceramic insulators, and terminals only. If the coil wire is accidentally touched, wipe the contact area with a dry cloth or isopropyl alcohol before installation.
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 heating element assembly installed in compatible Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, and related brand electric dryers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

XPARTCO 17438200000160 Gas Dryer Flame Switch
The XPARTCO 17438200000160 is an aftermarket replacement gas dryer flame switch compatible with select Midea, Insignia gas dryers, including the MLG45N1BWW, MLG45N3BMG, MLG45N3BWW, MLG52S7AWW, CDG41N1AW/CDG45N1AW series, NSDRE67WH8A, NSFDRG67WH8A, NSDRE67WH8AC, NSTDRG75W1. The flame switch is a safety component mounted on the burner assembly that confirms a flame is actually present after the gas valve opens and the igniter lights the burner. If the switch does not detect a flame within the expected window, it signals the control board to shut off the gas valve, preventing unburned gas from continuing to flow into the dryer cabinet.
When the flame switch fails, the dryer may not heat at all, may shut off the burner shortly after ignition (short-cycling the flame), may trip a no-heat fault code on models with digital displays, or — in rarer failure modes — may fail to shut off gas flow appropriately, which is a safety-relevant failure. It directly replaces 17438200000160 (Midea OEM). Installs in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Gas Appliance Safety Warning This part is installed in a gas dryer. Always unplug the dryer 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 power or gas until the repair is fully complete and all connections are confirmed secure. If you are not comfortable working on gas appliances or safety-relevant flame-detection components, have this part installed by a qualified technician.
⚠️ Wear Work Gloves — Access Requires Cabinet Disassembly Disconnect power and shut off gas before beginning. Wear work gloves throughout — there are sharp metal edges inside the dryer cabinet. Remove the lint filter and the screws securing the lint filter housing. Release the top panel locking clips with a putty knife and lift the top panel. Disconnect the door switch harness and remove the front panel to access the drum and burner assembly. Locate the flame switch mounted on the burner assembly — it is positioned to detect the flame produced once the igniter lights the gas. Photograph the wire connections before disconnecting. Disconnect the wires from the old flame switch, remove the mounting screw, and pull the switch free. Install the new 17438200000160 flame switch in the same position, secure the mounting screw, and reconnect the wires. Reassemble the front panel, drum, and top panel in reverse order. Restore gas and power, and run a test heat cycle to confirm the burner ignites and stays lit normally. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the flame switch do, and how is it different from an igniter?
The igniter is the component that heats up and ignites the gas at the burner. The flame switch is a separate safety component that confirms a flame is actually present after the igniter has done its job and the gas valve has opened. If the flame switch does not detect the expected flame condition, it signals the control system to close the gas valve, stopping gas flow. This two-part system — ignition plus flame confirmation — is a standard safety design in gas dryers and gas appliances generally, ensuring gas does not continue flowing if combustion isn't actually occurring.
My burner lights and then shuts off after a few seconds — is this the flame switch?
Yes, this is a common symptom of a failing flame switch. If the switch is not reliably maintaining its "flame detected" signal to the control board even though the burner is genuinely lit, the system may interpret this as a flame failure and shut the gas valve as a safety precaution — causing the burner to repeatedly light and then extinguish. This short-cycling pattern during what should be a continuous heat cycle is a strong indicator that the flame switch needs replacement.
Why is this called a "flame switch" rather than a "flame sensor"?
Different manufacturers use different terminology for similar flame-detection safety components. On Whirlpool-family gas dryers, this type of part is typically called a "flame sensor" — a bimetal-style sensor near the igniter that closes a circuit when it senses sufficient heat. Midea's parts catalog labels this specific component the "flame switch," and it serves an analogous safety role within the Midea gas burner system: confirming the presence of a flame after ignition. The terminology differs by manufacturer, but the safety function is similar in concept.
Why does this repair require opening the whole dryer cabinet?
On Midea gas dryers, the flame switch is mounted directly on the burner assembly inside the dryer cabinet, which is only accessible after removing the lint filter housing, releasing the top panel, and removing the front panel. This is a more involved repair than swapping an externally accessible part, but it follows the same general gas dryer disassembly procedure used for replacing igniters, thermal fuses, and other burner-area components. Since the cabinet must be opened, it can be a good opportunity to inspect other burner components (igniter, gas valve coils) for 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 manufactured to match the dimensions, mounting configuration, and function of the original 17438200000160 Midea flame switch.
