WP4391960 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer Heating Element
The WP4391960 is a Genuine OEM Whirlpool replacement dryer heating element used in older-generation Whirlpool-family electric dryers, including Whirlpool, Kenmore, Roper, Estate, Amana, and Admiral models — particularly the LE, EL, and early LG series dryers. The heating element is the primary heat source in an electric dryer — a nickel-chromium resistance coil wound around ceramic insulators inside a steel housing that generates heat when electrical current passes through it. When the coil burns through, the circuit opens and the dryer produces no heat. A shorted coil that contacts the housing is a fire hazard and requires immediate replacement.
This Genuine OEM part is manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications and is rated 5200W / 240V with 1/4" male spade terminals. Note: this element uses 1/4" terminals — different from the 5/16" terminals on the 279838 and WP3387747 elements. The wire kit and wire nuts (part 279457) are no longer included with this element and must be ordered separately if the original wires are damaged. It consolidates a very large list of older cross-reference numbers including 4391960, 2013, 279247, 279248, 279410, 279411, 696579, 696326, 697290, 786077, AP6009347, PS11742505, and dozens more. 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. Remove the back panel of the dryer to access the heating element housing. On older LE-series Whirlpool models, the element housing is mounted at the lower rear of the dryer and may have a top panel over the housing that must be removed before the element can be freed. Photograph all wiring before disconnecting. Note: the element's wires and wire nuts (279457 kit) are no longer included with the WP4391960 — if your existing wires are in good condition, reuse them; if damaged, order 279457 separately before beginning. Do not touch the new element's coil wire at any point — skin oils create hot spots that will prematurely burn the element. Disconnect the old element wires, unscrew the housing mounting screws, and remove the old element. Install the new WP4391960 in the same orientation, reconnect wiring, reinstall the housing, and restore power. Run a test heat cycle to confirm normal operation. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between WP4391960 and 279838 or WP3387747?
All three are Genuine OEM Whirlpool dryer heating elements, but for different generations of dryers and with different terminal sizes. The WP4391960 (5200W, 1/4" spade terminals) is for older-generation Whirlpool LE/EL series and early Kenmore dryers. The 279838 (5400W, 5/16" terminals) is for standard-capacity mid-generation Whirlpool-family dryers. The WP3387747 (5200W, 5/16" terminals) is for newer higher-capacity models like the Duet, Cabrio, HE, and GEW/GEQ series. The terminal size difference is important — the WP4391960 uses 1/4" spade terminals, while the other two use 5/16" terminals. Always verify your model number before ordering.
Why does this element have so many cross-reference part numbers?
The WP4391960 consolidates a very large number of older Whirlpool heating element part numbers that were used across many different model runs over the years. As Whirlpool refined the design and standardized parts across its lineup, it consolidated these older numbers into the current WP4391960. If your dryer's parts diagram shows any of the hundreds of older cross-reference numbers listed above, the WP4391960 is the correct current replacement.
Why is the wire kit (279457) not included?
Whirlpool changed the packaging of this part during a production revision and no longer includes the wire kit and wire nuts that were previously bundled with the element. If your existing element wires are in good condition, you can reuse them — carefully transfer each wire to the corresponding terminal on the new element, maintaining the original connections. If any wires are burned, melted, or damaged, order part 279457 (wire kit) separately before beginning the repair.
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 5200W/240V element shows a resistance reading — typically around 9–12 ohms. No continuity (open circuit) means the coil has burned through. Also test each terminal individually to the metal housing frame — if continuity exists between a terminal and the housing, the element is shorted to ground and must be replaced immediately as a fire hazard.
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 older-generation Whirlpool, Kenmore, Roper, and related brand electric dryers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

XPARTCO XP311 Dryer Thermostat Kit for LG
The XPARTCO XP311 is an aftermarket replacement 3-piece thermostat kit for LG electric dryers, bundling the thermal fuse, thermistor, and high-limit thermostat that work together to regulate and protect the dryer's heating system. These three components monitor heat continuously during normal operation and step in at different thresholds if something goes wrong, which is why they're commonly replaced as a set — a single overheating event or a slow age-related drift in one part can put stress on the others, and buying them together also saves a second teardown if one of the remaining parts fails soon after.
This kit includes: the 6931EL3003D thermal fuse, a one-time safety device that permanently cuts power to the dryer if internal temperatures climb dangerously high; the 6323EL2001B thermistor, a temperature sensor assembly with wire harness that continuously reports drum temperature to the control board so it can regulate heat output during the cycle; and the 6931EL3001E high-limit thermostat, which automatically shuts off the heating element if the dryer's temperature exceeds safe operating limits, without needing to be replaced like the thermal fuse does. Symptoms of failure in this circuit include incomplete drying, insufficient heating time, overheating that damages clothing, and the dryer shutting down prematurely or failing to start at all. It directly replaces AP4440975, 1268366, 6931EL3003E, AH3530485, EA3530485, PS3530485 (thermal fuse); AP4441539, 1268206, 6323EL2001H, AH3529026, EA3529026, PS3529026 (thermistor); and AP4440977, 1268363, 6931EL3001B, 6931EL3001C, AH3530481, EA3530481, PS3530481, 6931EL3001F (high-limit thermostat).
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO XP311 Dryer Thermostat Kit fixes LG (and select Kenmore) electric dryers with incomplete drying, insufficient heat, overheating that damages clothes, or a dryer that shuts down prematurely or won't start. 3-piece kit: thermal fuse (6931EL3003D), thermistor (6323EL2001B), and high-limit thermostat (6931EL3001E).

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Test Before Assuming All Three Have Failed Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Access is typically through the rear panel or the front, depending on your model — these components are commonly mounted on or near the blower housing and heater duct assembly. Photograph the wiring connections before disconnecting anything, since the thermal fuse, thermistor, and high-limit thermostat can look similar and are easy to swap positions by mistake. Before installing the full kit, it's reasonable to test each old component with a multimeter to confirm which have actually failed — the thermal fuse and high-limit thermostat can each be checked for continuity, though replacing all three together is still standard practice given how this circuit tends to fail. Remove each old component from its mounting position, noting orientation, and disconnect its wiring. Install each new component from the kit in the same position and orientation as the part it replaces, reconnecting wiring exactly as photographed. Reassemble the panel, restore power, and run a full test cycle to confirm normal heating, consistent drying, and no premature shutoffs. Tools needed: Phillips or nut driver (model-dependent), multimeter (recommended), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need to replace all three parts, or can I just replace the one that failed?
You can test each component individually with a multimeter and replace only the ones that fail, but there's a good reason these are commonly sold and replaced together: they share the same heating circuit and tend to age or fail around the same time, especially if an overheating event caused the original failure. Replacing all three at once avoids a second teardown if one of the remaining original parts fails again soon after.
What's the difference between the thermal fuse and the high-limit thermostat? They sound similar.
Both protect against overheating, but they behave very differently. The high-limit thermostat is the first line of defense — it shuts off the heating element automatically if temperature climbs too high, then resets itself once things cool down, letting the dryer resume normal operation. The thermal fuse is the backup: if temperatures climb high enough that the thermostat alone doesn't prevent a dangerous overheat, the fuse permanently opens the circuit and cuts all power. Unlike the thermostat, the fuse cannot reset itself and must be physically replaced once it blows.
What does the thermistor actually do, and why does it matter if it's a sensor rather than a switch?
The thermistor doesn't switch anything on or off directly — it's a variable resistor whose resistance changes with temperature, and the control board reads that resistance continuously to know exactly how hot the drum is running. That ongoing feedback is what lets the control board fine-tune heat output throughout the cycle rather than just running hot or cold. A failing thermistor can cause the control to misjudge temperature, leading to insufficient heat, inconsistent drying, or the control cutting the cycle short.
My dryer blew a thermal fuse. Should I get this whole kit instead of just the fuse?
It's worth considering, especially since a blown thermal fuse usually means the dryer actually overheated at some point — and that same overheating event can stress the thermistor and high-limit thermostat even if they haven't failed outright yet. Also worth checking regardless of which parts you replace: restricted exhaust venting is the most common root cause of dryer overheating, so inspect and clean the vent ducting when you do this repair, or the new parts may face the same stress that damaged the originals.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket kit?
This is an aftermarket replacement kit built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine LG OEM kit, but each component is manufactured to match the electrical specifications, resistance values, and mounting configuration of the original 6931EL3003D thermal fuse, 6323EL2001B thermistor, and 6931EL3001E high-limit thermostat used in compatible LG electric dryers.

Troubleshooting Guide
Disconnect the dryer from electrical power before opening or servicing the cabinet.
Inspect the exhaust vent, lint path, and blower area. Restricted airflow can produce symptoms similar to a failed thermistor.
Inspect the thermistor body, terminals, connector, and wire harness for damage, corrosion, loose connections, or heat discoloration.
Disconnect the thermistor and test resistance with a multimeter. Compare the reading with the dryer service information for the measured temperature.
Warm or cool the sensor carefully. Resistance should change smoothly as temperature changes; an open circuit, short circuit, or unstable reading can indicate failure.
Check the heater circuit, thermal devices, moisture-sensing system, and control board when the thermistor tests within specification.
Safety: Do not bypass a thermistor or protective temperature device. Installation and diagnosis should be performed by a qualified person when you are not comfortable servicing electrical appliances.
When Should You Replace This Part?
The thermistor is open, shorted, or outside the specified resistance range
The sensor reading does not change correctly with temperature
The housing or connector is cracked, burned, or physically damaged
A service diagnostic identifies W11683629 as the failed component
Airflow and related heating components have been checked and the thermistor fails testing

XPARTCO 33002535 Dryer Drum Belt Replaces WP33002535
The XPARTCO 33002535 is an aftermarket replacement dryer drum belt compatible with a wide range of Maytag, Amana, Crosley, and Kenmore dryers. The drum belt is a long, ribbed rubber belt that wraps around the outside of the dryer drum and connects to the motor pulley and idler pulley, transferring the motor's rotation to spin the drum during every drying cycle. When the belt breaks or wears out, the motor continues to run but the drum stops spinning — clothes tumble only under gravity or not at all, and the dryer produces heat with no airflow through the load.
This belt measures 91-5/8" in length and 5/16" in width, with 5 ribs and 4 grooves — the correct profile to grip the drum, motor pulley, and idler pulley on compatible Maytag-platform dryers. Made from high-strength rubber designed to resist stretching, cracking, and heat degradation over years of use. It directly replaces WP33002535, 33001777, 63700300, 791135, WP33002535VP, and several additional cross-reference numbers. Installs in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 33002535 Dryer Drum Belt fixes Maytag-platform dryers where the drum is not spinning, the motor runs but the drum is still, or the belt is visibly broken or worn. 91-5/8" long x 5/16" wide, 5 ribs, 4 grooves. Compatible with Maytag, Amana, Crosley, and Kenmore dryers. Replaces WP33002535, 33001777, 63700300, 791135, and more. Installs in 30–45 minutes.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer drum not spinning — motor runs but drum is completely still
Drum spinning only when manually pushed — belt is slipping or broken
Dryer running but not drying — drum not tumbling clothes through the airflow
Squealing or thumping noise just before the belt broke and the drum stopped
Belt visibly broken, frayed, or in pieces inside the dryer cabinet
Dryer tumbling unevenly or intermittently due to a stretched or slipping belt
Replaces Part Numbers

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting Disconnect power (and shut off gas for gas dryers) before beginning. Remove the top panel by unscrewing the screws inside the lint screen housing and releasing the front clips with a putty knife. Remove the front panel to access the drum. Release tension from the old belt at the idler pulley, then slide the belt off the drum, idler pulley, and motor pulley. Note how the belt is routed before removing it — take a photo if needed. Loop the new 33002535 belt around the drum with the ribbed side facing inward (toward the drum). Route the belt under the idler pulley and around the motor pulley, then pull the idler pulley toward you to create tension. Reassemble the front and top panels, restore power, and run a test cycle to confirm the drum spins. Tip: while the dryer is open, inspect the drum support rollers (12001541) and idler pulley (WP6-3700340) for wear and replace if needed. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, putty knife.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between 33002535 and WP33002535?
These are the same dryer drum belt. WP33002535 is the updated Whirlpool/Maytag OEM part number that superseded the original 33002535. The 33001777 is also a cross-reference for this same belt. This aftermarket replacement is compatible with all three numbers.
How do I know if my dryer belt has broken?
The clearest sign of a broken belt is a motor that runs — you can hear it humming — but the drum does not spin when you start the dryer. On most Maytag-platform dryers, you can open the dryer door and try to spin the drum by hand — if it spins very freely with almost no resistance, the belt has likely broken. You can also open the top or front panel to visually inspect the belt; a broken belt will be lying loose inside the cabinet or wrapped around components rather than stretched around the drum.
Should I replace the drum rollers and idler pulley at the same time?
Yes — since the dryer is already disassembled, this is the ideal time to inspect and replace the drum support rollers (12001541) and idler pulley (WP6-3700340). These components wear at similar rates to the belt, and a worn roller or pulley bearing is often what caused the belt to wear and break prematurely. Replacing all three together eliminates the most common sources of drum noise and prevents a second teardown in the near future.
Which side of the belt faces the drum?
The ribbed side of the 33002535 belt faces inward — toward the drum surface. The smooth side faces outward, away from the drum. When installing, wrap the belt around the drum with the ribs against the drum, then route the smooth side under the idler pulley and around the motor pulley. If the belt is installed inside-out, it will slip and the drum will not spin correctly.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Maytag or Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured from high-strength rubber to match the length, width, and rib profile of the original WP33002535 drum belt.
