WP3392519 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer Thermal Fuse
The WP3392519 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM thermal fuse mounted on the blower housing next to the blower fan. 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 high enough — 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 opens at approximately 196°F (91°C) and terminates in two 3/16" wire terminals for a direct plug-in fit. Unlike a resettable thermostat, this thermal fuse cannot be reset once it blows — it must be replaced. 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 shorted heating element or a failed regulating thermostat can also cause the dryer to run hot enough to blow the fuse. It directly replaces 3392519, WP3392519VP, AP6008325, 3388651, 694511, ET401, PS11741460, EAP11741460, AH11741460, EA11741460, PD00002311, G4AP0500, and 80005.
Quick Answer
The WP3392519 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer Thermal Fuse fixes Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Roper, Jenn-Air, and Amana dryers that won't start at all — no lights, no tumble, no response to any button. Opens at approximately 196°F (91°C). Two 3/16" wire terminals. Replaces 3392519, WP3392519VP, AP6008325, 3388651, 694511, ET401, PS11741460, EAP11741460, AH11741460, EA11741460, PD00002311, G4AP0500, 80005. 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.

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. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting the wire terminals from the old fuse. Remove the mounting screw holding the fuse in place and pull it free, disconnecting both wire terminals. 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 WP3392519 in the same mounting position, reconnect both wire 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
My dryer has no power at all and the lights won't turn on. Is this the thermal fuse?
It's a strong possibility. When this thermal fuse blows, it cuts power broadly enough that the console lights and control panel can go completely dark, not just the heating function — that's a normal result of how this fuse is wired into the circuit. Before replacing it, confirm the outlet has power and the breaker hasn't tripped, then check the fuse for continuity with a multimeter. If it shows no continuity, this fuse is the correct fix, though it's also worth checking the exhaust ducting since that's the most common underlying cause.
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 heating element and cycling thermostat checked as well, since a component stuck in the "on" position can also drive excess heat.
Can I just reset the thermal fuse instead of replacing it?
No. Unlike a cycling thermostat, this 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.
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 a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original opening temperature, terminal configuration, and mounting position of the thermal fuse originally installed in your dryer.

XPARTCO WE04X24719 Dryer Start Button
The XPARTCO WE04X24719 is an aftermarket replacement power and start button assembly for GE and Hotpoint dryers. You push it to power up the dryer's controls and begin the drying cycle. When the button is cracked, stuck, or no longer registers a press, the dryer won't start, even though the rest of the machine is fine.
This is a direct-fit aftermarket replacement for the original GE button assembly. The button mounts through the control panel and onto the switch shaft behind it, so if the dryer still won't start with a new button, the push-to-start switch itself may also need to be checked.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WE04X24719 Start Button fixes a GE or Hotpoint dryer whose start button is broken, stuck, or doesn't start the dryer when pressed. Classic symptom: you press start and nothing happens, or the button feels loose, cracked, or no longer springs back.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer won't start when the start button is pressed
Start button is cracked, broken, or missing
Button feels loose, stuck, or doesn't spring back
Button no longer lines up with the switch behind the panel
Cross Reference Information
Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models. For your convenience, we've included any known superseded, alternate, or cross-reference part numbers that match this item.

No other GE part numbers were confirmed for this button. Confirm against your dryer's parts diagram, or contact our support team, if your model calls out a different number.
Compatibility
This start button is listed for GE and Hotpoint dryers, including these examples:
5TX62E9ST0WS, ETD48EASW0WB
GTD33EASK0WW, GTD42EASJ2WW, GTD48EASW0WB

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 the cabinet edges are sharp. The button is held to the switch behind the control panel, so you will need to remove the back panel, the wires, and the switch to take the old button out through the panel, as shown in your model's service guide. Note where each wire connects before removing it. Fit the new button through the panel onto the switch shaft, then reassemble in reverse order.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer won't start when I press the button. Is this the part I need?
If the button is cracked, loose, or doesn't press the switch, yes. If the button looks fine, the push-to-start switch behind it, the door switch, or a thermal fuse can cause the same symptom, so check those too.
Does this include the switch?
This listing is for the button assembly that fits onto the switch shaft, not the switch. If the switch itself has failed, it is a separate part.
Do I need to take the dryer apart?
Yes. The button is installed through the control panel, so the back panel, wires, and switch have to come off to replace it. Customers report about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Will this fit my dryer?
It is listed for many GE and Hotpoint 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer isn't heating or won't start. Is this the part I need?
It can be. Dryers use several thermostats and a thermal fuse, and the same symptoms can come from a clogged vent, the igniter or heating element, or the control board. Check the vent and test the thermostats before replacing this one.

This is an aftermarket replacement from XPARTCO, made to replace LG part 6931EL3002M. If you specifically need a genuine LG part, contact our support team.
Is this the same as the high-limit thermostat?
No. LG sells separate high-limit thermostats, such as 6931EL3003C and 6931EL3003D. Match the part number on your old thermostat before ordering.
Will this fit my dryer?
It is listed for many LG and Kenmore dryers, 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.

WE04X28977 Dryer Genuine Door Switch
The WE04X28977 is a genuine GE dryer door switch for GE and Hotpoint dryers, and also fits select Haier, Monogram, and Café models built on the GE platform. This small latch-style switch communicates with the control board when the door is fully closed, allowing the drying cycle to safely begin, and signals the control board to stop the cycle if the door is opened during operation.
White in color, measuring approximately 3"H x 2"W, weighing about 1 lb. Also known by the part number WE10X23879. Over time, this switch can become damaged from extended use or excessive force when closing the door. Symptoms of a failing door switch include the dryer failing to start, or the door not closing or latching properly. Replacing this switch requires a few basic tools and some slight disassembly of the dryer. It directly replaces WE10X23879, 4931170, AGE25215, AP6889035, EAP12722948, PD00053592, PS12722948.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning. Wear work gloves. Turn the two screws located at the bottom corners of the front panel counter-clockwise until they come out, then slide the panel up and off the dryer to access the door switch. Locate the wires connected to the old door switch and disconnect them, noting their positions. Remove the mounting screws or clips securing the old switch and pull it free. Install the new WE04X28977 in the same position, reconnect the wires to their original positions, and secure the mounting hardware. Slide the front panel back into place and secure the two bottom corner screws. Restore power and test that the dryer starts normally with the door closed, and stops if the door is opened during a cycle. Tools needed: screwdriver, wrench, pliers.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer won't start. Is this the part I need?
Yes, this is one of the most common symptoms of a failed door switch. Since this switch tells the control board whether the door is closed, a damaged or malfunctioning switch can prevent the dryer from starting even when the door is fully shut.
My dryer door won't close properly. Could this be the same part?
Yes, a damaged door switch — often from excessive force when closing the door over time — can cause the door to not latch or close correctly, in addition to preventing the dryer from starting.
Is this a difficult repair?
It's a straightforward repair for a confident DIYer, requiring a screwdriver, wrench, and pliers, along with some slight disassembly of the dryer's front panel to access the switch.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by GE to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original switch design and mounting configuration of the door switch originally installed in your dryer.
