XPARTCO WE03X29897 Dryer Drum Belt
The XPARTCO WE03X29897 is an aftermarket replacement drum drive belt for GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore dryers. It is a four-rib belt, approximately 89-1/2 inches long, that wraps around the drum, the tension pulley, and the drive motor pulley, so the motor can turn the drum. A worn, stretched, or broken belt can cause noise, a drum that won't turn, or a dryer that won't start.
This is a direct-fit aftermarket replacement for the original GE belt. Because the drum has to be moved to fit a new belt, it is also a good time to inspect the tension pulley, idler, and drum rollers and replace any that look worn.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WE03X29897 Drum Belt fixes a GE, Hotpoint, or Kenmore dryer whose drum won't turn, that makes a noisy thumping or squealing sound, or that won't start because the belt is worn or broken. Classic symptom: the dryer hums or the motor runs, but the drum stays still.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Drum does not turn although the motor runs
Noisy dryer, with thumping or squealing as the drum turns
Dryer won't start
Heat stays on after the drum has stopped
Visibly stretched, cracked, or broken belt

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Power Before Installing Unplug the dryer before beginning, and shut off the gas supply first on gas models. Wear work gloves, as internal parts and cabinet edges can be sharp. Remove the top and front panel as shown in your model's service guide, then slide the drum out, which is easier with a second person. Remove the old belt and route the new belt around the drum, the tension pulley, and the motor pulley as the old one ran, then reassemble in reverse order. Check the tension pulley and drum rollers while the drum is out and replace any that are worn.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer runs but the drum won't turn. Is this the part I need?
That is the classic sign of a broken drum belt. If the motor runs and you can turn the drum freely by hand, check the belt first.
How long is this belt?
It is approximately 89-1/2 inches long, with four ribs. Small differences are normal, but if your old belt is a very different length, check your model number before ordering.
Should I replace anything else while the drum is out?
Inspect the tension pulley and the drum rollers or glides. These wear along with the belt, and they are much easier to replace now than later.
Will this fit my dryer?
It is listed for hundreds of GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore dryers, but the model list above is only a sample. Check your model number against your parts diagram, or contact our support team and we'll verify it before you order.

XPARTCO DC47-00016A Dryer Thermal Fuse
The XPARTCO DC47-00016A is an aftermarket replacement thermal fuse for Samsung dryers. Mounted on the blower housing near the heat source, this fuse is a one-time safety device: as long as the dryer stays within its normal operating temperature, it does nothing at all, but the instant internal temperatures climb dangerously high — almost always from restricted airflow — the fuse permanently opens the circuit and cuts power to the dryer. That's why a blown thermal fuse produces such a specific symptom: the dryer won't start at all, with no lights, no tumble, and no response, even though the outlet has power.
This fuse terminates in 1/4" male spade connectors for a direct plug-in fit. Unlike a thermostat, a thermal fuse cannot be reset once it blows — it must be replaced. Critically, a blown thermal fuse is almost always a symptom rather than a random failure: restricted exhaust venting is the leading cause, since trapped heat is exactly what the fuse is designed to react to. A failing thermistor can also cause repeated fuse blows, since the two work together to regulate temperature. It directly replaces 2068545, AP4201894, AP4201899, PS4205213, EAP4205213, PS2038378, PS2038533, and 35001087.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO DC47-00016A Dryer Thermal Fuse fixes Samsung dryers that won't start at all — no lights, no tumble, no response to any button — after overheating from restricted airflow. 1/4" male spade terminals. Replaces 2068545, AP4201894, AP4201899, PS4205213, EAP4205213, PS2038378, PS2038533, 35001087. Always inspect and clean the dryer venting when replacing this fuse — a blown fuse is a symptom of restricted airflow, and installing a new fuse without fixing the vent will likely blow it again.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer won't start at all — no lights, no tumble, no response to any button
Dryer that stopped working suddenly, especially after a load felt unusually hot
Dryer runs a short time then shuts off completely and won't restart
Repeated blown fuses on a dryer with a known venting or airflow restriction
Clothes coming out extremely hot right before the dryer stopped working
Dryer that recently smelled like burning or overheating before failing
Continuity test shows an open circuit across the old fuse

DV330AEW, DV350AEW/XAA, DV419AEW/XAA
Note: This fuse is commonly paired with a matching thermistor (DC32-00007A) and thermostat (DC96-00887A / DC47-00018A), and manufacturer guidance recommends replacing the thermistor at the same time as the fuse, since the two work together and a failing thermistor is a common cause of repeated fuse blows. Always verify your full model number before ordering. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure.

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: remove the screws securing the panel to reach the blower housing where the fuse is mounted, usually alongside the thermistor. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting the spade terminals from the old fuse. Remove the mounting screw holding the fuse in place and pull it free, disconnecting both spade terminal wires. Before installing the new fuse, test it for continuity with a multimeter to confirm it's good out of the box, and test the old one to confirm it's actually blown (no continuity) rather than assuming. This is the most important step: 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. A blown thermal fuse is a symptom of restricted airflow, and skipping this step means the new fuse is likely to blow again. Install the new DC47-00016A in the same mounting position, reconnect both spade terminals, and secure the mounting screw. Reinstall the rear panel, restore power, and run a test cycle to confirm normal heating and shutoff behavior. Tools needed: Phillips or nut driver (model-dependent), multimeter, vent brush or vacuum attachment for cleaning ductwork, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
I replaced the fuse and it blew again. What's going on?
This is a strong sign that the underlying cause — almost always restricted airflow — was never addressed. Thermal fuses don't fail from age; they blow because the dryer overheated. If a new fuse keeps blowing, 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. If airflow checks out and the fuse still blows, have the thermistor and thermostat checked as well, since a failing thermistor can also trigger repeated fuse blows.
Can I just reset the thermal fuse instead of replacing it?
No. Unlike a thermostat, a thermal fuse is a one-time safety device — once it blows, its internal circuit is permanently broken and it cannot be reset or repaired. Replacement is the only option.
Should I replace the thermistor at the same time as the fuse?
It's worth strongly considering, and it's a common manufacturer recommendation. The thermistor and thermal fuse work together to manage temperature, and a failing thermistor can cause the dryer to run hotter than it should, leading directly to repeated fuse blows. Replacing both together, especially if your dryer has blown this fuse more than once, addresses the more likely root cause rather than just the symptom.
My clothes came out extremely hot right before the dryer died. Is that related?
Yes, this is a classic warning sign. Clothes coming out unusually hot indicates the dryer was already running hotter than normal, which is exactly the condition that leads to a blown thermal fuse. If you noticed this before the dryer stopped working, it strongly points to a ventilation or airflow problem that should be fully addressed before running the dryer again.
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 to match the electrical specifications, spade terminal connections, and mounting configuration of the original DC47-00016A thermal fuse used in compatible Samsung, LG, and Kenmore dryers.

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.
Quick Answer
The WP694089 Dryer Blower Wheel fixes Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Roper, Estate, and Admiral 29" dryers that take too long to dry, make loud thumping/rattling/scraping noises, have weak airflow, or won't tumble. 8-5/8" diameter. Left-hand threads (turn clockwise to remove). Fits rear-mounted motor dryers with lint filter on top. Replaces WP694089, WP694089VP, AP6010602, 279500, 279711, 299678, 338840, 343939, 343941, 686172, 695499, DE601, PS11743785. Check for trapped lint, socks, or debris before replacing — a jammed wheel may not be broken.
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

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.

W10518394 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dishwasher Heating Element
The W10518394 is a Genuine OEM Whirlpool replacement dishwasher heating element compatible with select Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, and Kenmore Whirlpool-built dishwashers — including the WDF, WDT, ADB, and related series. The heating element is mounted at the bottom of the dishwasher tub and serves two purposes: it heats the wash water to the temperature required by the selected cycle (improving cleaning performance and helping detergent dissolve and work effectively), and it provides drying heat at the end of the cycle to evaporate moisture from dishes during the heated dry phase. When the element fails, dishes come out wet, glassware is spotted or cloudy, and wash performance noticeably degrades.
This is an oval-shape element rated 1200W, approximately 15"L x 3"W x 3"H. As a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications, the W10518394 directly replaces W10518394VP, W10134009, W10441445, 8194250, 8563007, 8563464, 8572861, 2977737, 1381534, 8268559, A3-06, AP4325066, AP5690151, EAP9605070, PD00012075, PS1960583, and PS9605070. The element mounts to the bottom of the tub with large nuts on the underside — the rubber washer (Whirlpool 717273) and heater nut (Whirlpool 8268548) are sold separately if they need replacement. Important: after installation on most Whirlpool dishwashers, you must run the diagnostic mode to reset the control board to recognize the new element. Installs in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dishwasher and Shut Off Water Before Starting — Don't Touch Element with Bare Hands Disconnect power at the breaker and shut off the water supply at the valve under the sink before beginning. Wear work gloves and safety glasses to protect your hands and eyes. Handle the new heating element only by the metal end terminals or its support brackets — do NOT touch the heating coil itself with bare fingers; skin oils can cause hot spots that shorten element life. From inside the dishwasher tub, the element is visible at the bottom — it's the looped metal coil running along the floor of the tub. Remove the bottom rack and any debris to clear access. To access the wire connections and mounting nuts, you'll need to either reach underneath the dishwasher from the front access panel or, on some installations, pull the dishwasher out partially. From underneath: disconnect the two wires from the bottom of the element terminals (photograph the wire connections first to ensure correct reinstallation). Remove the plastic nuts holding the element terminals in place. From inside the tub, lift the old element straight up and out. Inspect the rubber washers — if they're cracked, hardened, or torn, replace them now with new 717273 washers. Install the new W10518394 element through the same mounting holes, replace the rubber washers if needed, and secure with the plastic nuts (or new 8268548 nuts) from underneath. Reconnect the two wires to the terminals matching your original orientation. Important: after restoring power, run the Whirlpool diagnostic mode to reset the control board — on most models this is done by pressing any three buttons in sequence three times and closing the door, which initiates a ~30-minute diagnostic cycle. The new element will not be recognized by the control until this is done. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 5/8" wrench, 5/16" nut driver, 3/4" wrench, work gloves, safety glasses.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are my dishes coming out wet — is the heating element the cause?
Most likely, yes — wet dishes are the classic signature of a failed dishwasher heating element. The element provides heat for the dry phase, evaporating moisture from dish surfaces. When it fails, dishes simply air-dry, which leaves them wet (especially plastics and the interior of inverted glassware). To confirm: with the dishwasher unplugged, disconnect the wires from the element and check continuity with a multimeter. A working element shows continuity; a failed element shows an open circuit (infinite resistance). Also check that you have the heated dry option enabled in your cycle settings — some users mistakenly turn off heated dry and then assume the element has failed.
After installing the new element, the dishwasher still isn't heating — why?
On most Whirlpool dishwashers, you must run the diagnostic mode after replacing the heating element so the control board recognizes the new part. To enter diagnostic mode on most Whirlpool models, press any three buttons in sequence three times rapidly, then close the door — this starts a roughly 30-minute diagnostic cycle that resets the heater logic. If you've installed the new element correctly and it still isn't heating after the diagnostic cycle, also check the high-limit thermostat (a safety component that can stop power to the element if it has failed open). Confirm your wire connections are tight on the element terminals as well.
How is the W10518394 different from horseshoe-shape heating elements?
The W10518394 is an oval-shape element about 15" in length. Some Whirlpool-platform dishwashers — even similar-looking models — use a horseshoe-shape element instead, which has a different mounting hole pattern and shape that won't fit positions designed for the oval element. The two are NOT interchangeable. Before ordering, compare your old element to a photo of the W10518394, or check your dishwasher's parts diagram. If your old element is horseshoe-shaped, contact our support team with your model number and we'll help identify the correct horseshoe-style element for your dishwasher.
Do I need to replace the rubber washers and nuts when installing this?
Not always — they're reusable as long as they're in good condition. Inspect the rubber washers (Whirlpool 717273) for cracks, hardening, or tears. If they're brittle or torn, replace them now while you have the element out — they prevent water leaks from the tub at the element mounting points. The plastic heater nuts (Whirlpool 8268548) are usually reusable unless visibly damaged. Both parts are sold separately if you need replacements. Reusing torn rubber washers is the most common cause of leaks after this repair, so don't skip the inspection.
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 installed in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, and Kenmore Whirlpool-built dishwashers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Disconnect Power And Shut Off The Gas Before Installing Unplug the dryer and shut off the gas supply before you begin, and wear work gloves. Remove the panel to reach the burner assembly, note how the igniter and its wiring connect, and remove the old igniter. Handle the new igniter carefully and install it in the same position. Reconnect the wiring, restore power and gas, and test the dryer. If you smell gas at any point, stop and contact a qualified technician.
Frequently Asked Questions
My gas dryer runs but doesn't heat. Is this the part I need?
It can be, if the igniter has worn out and no longer glows. Other parts, such as the gas valve coils or thermal fuse, can cause the same symptom, so confirm the igniter is the problem before replacing it.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement from XPARTCO, made to replace GE part WE4X750. If you specifically need a genuine GE part, contact our support team.
Can I use a different gas dryer igniter?
Not by number alone. Gas dryers use several different igniters. Match the part number and your model number, or contact our support team and we'll check for you.
Will this fit my dryer?
It is listed for select gas dryers from GE, Hotpoint, Whirlpool, Maytag, Frigidaire and other brands, but the model list above is only a sample. Check your full model number against your parts diagram, or contact our support team and we'll verify it before you order.
