XPARTCO 4561EL3002A Dryer Idler Pulley Assembly
The XPARTCO 4561EL3002A is an aftermarket replacement dryer idler pulley assembly compatible with select LG and Kenmore electric and gas dryers. The idler pulley assembly is a spring-tensioned arm, pulley wheel, and spring kit that presses against the drive belt to keep it under constant tension as it wraps around the drum and motor pulley. Without correct belt tension, the belt slips, the drum stops spinning, and the dryer tumbles clothes poorly or not at all. A worn idler pulley bearing is also one of the most common causes of squealing, squeaking, and thumping noises in LG dryers.
This complete assembly includes the idler arm, pulley wheel, and idler spring. Overall dimensions are 5-3/4"L x 2-1/4"W x 3-7/8"H with a 2-1/4" diameter pulley wheel. Constructed from plastic and metal in white, black, and gray. It directly replaces 4561EL3002B, DE3002A, 4980EL3004, 1267530, AP4438243, AH3523033, EA3523033, EAP3523033, PD00001729, and PS3523033. Note: the pulley wheel only (without arm and spring) is sold separately as APN4560EL3001A — this listing is for the complete idler assembly. Often replaced together with the drum belt (4400EL2001A) and drum rollers (4581EL2002A) for a complete drum drive repair. Installs in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 4561EL3002A Dryer Idler Pulley Assembly fixes LG and Kenmore dryers that are squealing, thumping, or where the drum has stopped spinning because belt tension is lost. Complete assembly — idler arm, pulley wheel, and spring included. 5-3/4"L x 2-1/4"W x 3-7/8"H overall; 2-1/4" pulley diameter.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power (and shut off gas for gas dryers) before beginning. Wear work gloves — there are sharp sheet metal edges inside the LG dryer cabinet. Access the idler pulley by removing the back panel of the dryer (on most LG models) or the front panel and top panel. Take a photo of the belt routing around the drum, motor pulley, and idler pulley before removing anything — this is essential for correct reassembly. Release belt tension by pressing the idler arm toward the motor and sliding the belt free. Remove the idler spring from its anchor point, then unclip or unscrew the idler arm from its mounting bracket. Install the new 4561EL3002A idler assembly in the same position — hook the spring onto its anchor point first, then mount the arm. Re-route the belt around the drum (ribbed side in), under the idler pulley, and around the motor pulley, then allow the idler arm to tension the belt. Reassemble panels, restore power, and run a test cycle. Tip: while the dryer is open, inspect and replace the drum belt (4400EL2001A) and drum rollers (4581EL2002A) if worn. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, Torx screwdriver (T20 on some models), needle-nose pliers, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the dryer idler pulley do?
The idler pulley is a spring-loaded arm and wheel assembly that presses against the drive belt between the drum and the motor pulley, keeping the belt under constant tension. This tension is what allows the belt to grip both the drum surface and the motor pulley so the motor's rotation is transmitted to spin the drum. Without proper tension — or with a pulley bearing that has seized or worn out — the belt slips, the drum stops spinning, and the dryer produces heat without tumbling clothes. A worn bearing also creates the high-pitched squealing noise that is the most recognizable symptom of idler pulley failure on LG dryers.
What is the difference between 4561EL3002A and 4561EL3002B?
These are the same LG dryer idler pulley assembly across two production revisions. The 4561EL3002B was an earlier version and the 4561EL3002A is the current part number. Both are the same functional assembly — if your dryer's parts diagram shows 4561EL3002B, the 4561EL3002A is the correct current replacement and is covered by this listing.
Should I also replace the drum belt and rollers at the same time?
Yes — since the dryer must be disassembled to replace the idler pulley, this is the ideal time to also inspect and replace the drum belt (4400EL2001A) and drum support rollers (4581EL2002A). All three parts form the drum drive system and wear at similar rates. A worn roller or belt is often what caused the idler pulley to wear prematurely. Replacing all three in one repair eliminates the most common drum drive failure points and prevents a repeat teardown in the near future.
Can I just replace the pulley wheel without the arm and spring?
Yes — the pulley wheel alone (without the arm and spring) is sold separately as part number APN4560EL3001A. If only the wheel bearing has failed and the arm and spring are in good condition, you can order just the wheel. However, if the arm is cracked, the spring has lost tension, or both the wheel and arm have significant wear, ordering the complete 4561EL3002A assembly is more cost-effective and ensures the entire idler system is renewed in a single repair.
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 from plastic and metal to match the dimensions and performance of the original 4561EL3002A idler pulley assembly.

XPARTCO DC31-00187A Washer Drain Pump Motor
The XPARTCO DC31-00187A is an aftermarket replacement washer drain pump motor compatible with select Samsung front-load and top-load washers in the WA4, WA5, WF2, WF3, WF4, and WF5 series, as well as select Kenmore washers built on the Samsung platform. The drain pump motor drives the impeller that expels water from the washer tub during the drain phase of each wash cycle. When the motor fails, the washer will not drain, will leave standing water in the tub, stop mid-cycle, or display error codes 5C, SE, SC, 5E, or SUDS.
This motor-only assembly includes the pump motor, impeller, and replacement O-ring. Rated 120V, 60Hz, 80W, 1.1A (CL.F), with a 30-minute on / 30-minute off duty cycle. Dimensions: 4-1/4"L x 3"W x 4-1/4"H in gray/white/black plastic, metal, and rubber housing. The DC31-00187A is the motor component that installs into the existing pump housing on compatible Samsung washers — the pump housing (DC97-20621C assembly) is reused from the old pump, making this a motor-only swap rather than a complete pump replacement. It directly replaces DC31-00187D, DC31-00178A, DC31-00178D, PX3516-01, 03DC3100187A, 4958525, AP6977256, EAP9605762, PD00056512, PS9605762, and PS1274262. Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO DC31-00187A Washer Drain Pump Motor fixes Samsung front-load and top-load washers displaying error codes 5C, SE, SC, 5E, or SUDS, not draining, leaving standing water, or making loud noise during the drain cycle. Motor-only assembly — includes motor, impeller, and O-ring; installs into existing pump housing. 120V/60Hz/80W/1.1A/CL.F. 30 min on/30 min off. 4-1/4"L x 3"W x 4-1/4"H.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer and Shut Off Water Before Starting — Wear Gloves Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before beginning. Wear work gloves — there are sharp edges inside the washer cabinet. For front-load models: remove the lower front access panel to expose the pump housing and filter. Drain residual water via the filter drain hose (have a shallow pan ready). Disconnect the wire harness from the motor. On most Samsung front-load models, the motor assembly twists out of the pump housing by rotating counter-clockwise — do not force it. Remove the old motor, note the O-ring position, and install the new O-ring from this kit onto the new DC31-00187A motor. Insert the new motor into the housing and twist clockwise to lock. Reconnect the wire harness. Reinstall the lower panel, restore power and water, and run a drain/spin cycle to confirm drainage. For top-load models: access through the lower front panel or by tilting the washer on its side depending on model. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, pliers, shallow pan, towels, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between DC31-00187A and DC97-20621C?
The DC31-00187A is the drain pump motor — the electrical component that drives the impeller. The DC97-20621C is the complete drain pump assembly, which includes the motor plus the outer pump housing, hose connection ports, and mounting hardware. When you order the DC31-00187A, you replace only the motor and reuse the existing DC97-20621C pump housing. When you order the DC97-20621C, you replace the entire assembly including the housing. Both resolve the same drain fault — the DC31-00187A is the more targeted repair when the housing is in good condition.
What error codes indicate a drain pump motor failure?
Error codes 5C, SE, SC, 5E, and SUDS on compatible Samsung washers all indicate a drain fault — the washer was unable to drain within the expected time. Before replacing the motor, clean the drain filter/coin trap at the lower front panel. A clogged filter is one of the most common causes of these error codes and does not require motor replacement. If the filter is clear and the codes persist, or if the pump is making loud noise or is completely silent during the drain phase, the motor needs replacement.
What is the difference between DC31-00187A and DC31-00178A?
These are cross-references for the same or very similar Samsung drain pump motor used across different Samsung washer generations. The DC31-00178A was used on earlier Samsung models and the DC31-00187A is the current version. Both are commonly listed as interchangeable replacements for each other in Samsung washer drain pump repair. The DC31-00187D and DC31-00178D are also variants of the same motor from different production runs.
Should I clean the filter before replacing the pump motor?
Yes — always check and clean the drain filter first. On Samsung front-load washers, the filter is accessible behind the lower front kick panel, typically on the right side — remove the cap slowly and drain water into a shallow pan first. Lint, coins, debris, and hair are very common causes of Samsung drain error codes that are completely resolved by cleaning the filter without any parts replacement. If the filter is clear and the error codes persist, the pump motor is the next component to replace.
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 and performance of the original DC31-00187A drain pump motor.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Safety First — Unplug Dryer Before Starting Unplug the dryer from the power source (and shut off the gas supply for gas dryers) before beginning any repair. Remove the lint screen and unscrew the Phillips screws inside the lint screen housing. Use a putty knife to release the top panel clips and lift the top panel. Remove the front panel to access the drum and drive components. Release the drive belt tension by pushing the idler arm, then slide the belt off the idler pulley. Remove the mounting screw securing the old idler arm assembly and lift it out. Install the new W10837240 idler assembly, secure with the mounting screw, then re-route the drive belt around the new pulley and motor pulley. Reassemble the front panel, top panel, and restore power before running a test cycle. Tip: While the dryer is open, inspect the drum belt (WPW10112954) and drum support rollers for wear and replace if needed. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife or flat pry tool.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the idler pulley do?
The idler pulley is a spring-tensioned wheel mounted on an arm and bracket inside the dryer. It presses against the drive belt to maintain the correct tension needed to keep the belt gripping the drum and motor pulley. Without proper tension, the belt slips, loses contact, or causes the drum to stop spinning. A worn or seized idler pulley is one of the most common causes of dryer squeaking and drum spin failure.
Does W10837240 replace W10547287 and W10547290?
Yes. The W10837240 is the updated part number that directly supersedes both the W10547287 and W10547290 idler pulley assemblies. If your dryer originally used either of those older part numbers, the W10837240 is the correct current replacement.
How do I know if my lint screen is inside the door?
Open the dryer door and look for a slot or housing just inside the door opening — typically at the top or bottom of the door opening — where you pull out the lint filter. If the filter pulls out from inside the door frame, the W10837240 is designed for your dryer style. If the lint screen pulls out from the top of the dryer cabinet, contact our support team with your model number to identify the correct idler pulley for your machine.
Should I replace the drive belt at the same time?
Yes — since the dryer is already disassembled to replace the idler pulley, it is highly recommended to also inspect and replace the drum belt (WPW10112954) at the same time. The belt and idler pulley wear together, and a worn belt on a new pulley — or vice versa — significantly shortens the life of the new part.
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 durable plastic and metal to match the dimensions and performance of the original W10837240 idler pulley assembly.

XPARTCO 6501KW2001B Washer Rotor Positioning Sensor
The XPARTCO 6501KW2001B is an aftermarket replacement rotor position sensor (RPS) compatible with a wide range of LG and Kenmore direct-drive front-load washers. This 5-pin Hall effect sensor mounts to the motor stator and monitors the speed and rotational direction of the motor rotor, feeding that data back to the control board so it can properly manage spin speed, direction changes during wash/rinse agitation, and load balancing.
When this sensor fails or reads inaccurately, the control board loses the feedback it needs to run the motor correctly, and the washer commonly throws an "LE" (motor/rotor position) error code, fails to spin or agitate, or runs unusually long cycles as it struggles to detect motor movement. Built with PBT-GF30 housing and black epoxy potting for durability in the motor compartment. It directly replaces 6501KW2001A, 6501KW2001D, AP5973402, PS11706506, EAP11706506, and 3282954. Installs in 30–60 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 6501KW2001B Washer Rotor Positioning Sensor fixes LG and Kenmore (LG-built) direct-drive front-load washers throwing an "LE" error code, failing to spin or agitate, or running abnormally long cycles. 5-pin Hall effect sensor, PBT-GF30 housing, black epoxy potting. Replaces 6501KW2001A, 6501KW2001D, AP5973402, PS11706506, EAP11706506, 3282954. Classic symptom: washer displays "LE" and stops mid-cycle, or won't spin at all.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Washer displays an "LE" (motor/rotor position) error code
Tub fails to spin or agitate during the wash cycle
Washer struggles to detect load movement, resulting in abnormally long cycle times
Motor runs erratically or stalls mid-cycle
Washer stops partway through a cycle without completing
Inconsistent or failed direction changes during agitation

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting Disconnect power before beginning. Access the motor compartment, typically by removing the rear panel of the washer. Locate the rotor position sensor mounted to the motor stator near the rotor. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting, then unplug the sensor's connector from the wiring harness. Remove the mounting screw(s) or clip holding the sensor to the stator and remove the old sensor. Install the new 6501KW2001B sensor in the same position, taking care to seat it at the correct distance/orientation from the rotor magnets, and secure it. Reconnect the wiring harness connector, matching your photos. Reinstall the rear panel, restore power, and run a test cycle to confirm the washer spins and agitates normally without triggering an LE error code. Tools needed: nut driver or screwdriver, needle-nose pliers (for wiring connectors).
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer shows an "LE" error code — is this the part I need?
This is one of the most common causes of an LE (motor/rotor position) error on LG and LG-built Kenmore washers. If your washer displays LE and stops mid-cycle or won't spin, this sensor is a likely culprit. That said, LE errors can also stem from the control board or a damaged wiring harness between the sensor and the board, so if replacing the sensor doesn't resolve the error, those components are the next things to inspect.
Is this the same as the 6501KW2002B sensor?
No — 6501KW2001B and 6501KW2002B are different, non-interchangeable rotor position sensors used on different LG washer platforms. Confirm your exact part number from your appliance's parts diagram before ordering, since these two are easy to mix up by their similar naming.
My LG washer's parts diagram doesn't show a separate rotor position sensor — why?
Some newer LG models integrate the Hall sensor directly into the motor stator assembly (such as part AJB73816004) rather than using a standalone sensor like this one. If your model doesn't list a standalone sensor, check whether your repair requires the full stator assembly instead. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure which one applies to your washer.
Do I need any special tools to install this?
No special tools — a nut driver or screwdriver to access the rear panel and remove the sensor's mounting screw(s), plus needle-nose pliers to help with the wiring connector. The main thing to get right is reinstalling the new sensor at the same position and orientation relative to the rotor as the original.

WPW10348269 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dishwasher Drain Pump Motor
The WPW10348269 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM drain pump motor for Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, Crosley, Estate, Inglis, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, and Roper dishwashers. This pump uses an electric motor to create suction, pulling wastewater out of the tub and expelling it through the drain hose at the end of each cycle. This is the dedicated drain pump, distinct from a circulation pump — such as our WPW10605057 listing — which handles spraying water through the spray arms during the wash itself rather than draining it afterward.
Rated 120VAC, 60Hz, 45W, 0.7A, with a run time pattern of 5 minutes on, 30 minutes off. Ships as a complete pump motor with impeller and O-ring. If the impeller becomes damaged or the motor shorts out and stops draining, the pump body itself can crack over time, leading to leakage — replacing the pump before that happens is the more reliable fix. Symptoms of a failing drain pump include water not draining from the tub, unusual noise such as grinding during the drain phase, or visible leaks from underneath the unit. It directly replaces W10348269, W10084573, 661662, 8558995, 8565839, W10158351, WPW10348269VP, AP6020066, AWP49992, PD00004898, PS11753379

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dishwasher Before Starting — Removing The Unit Makes Access Easier Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. This repair can be done without pulling the dishwasher out from under the counter, but many technicians find it considerably easier to access the pump if you do pull the unit out first. Remove the lower rack and any components blocking access to the tub floor, then work from underneath the dishwasher to reach the drain pump. Test the old pump for continuity with a multimeter before removing it — if it shows no continuity, or if it's getting power but still won't run, that confirms the pump has failed. Photograph the wiring and hose connections before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the electrical connector and the drain hose connection from the old pump, remove its mounting hardware, and pull it free. Install the new WPW10348269 in the same position, reconnect the drain hose connection securely, and reconnect the electrical connector fully. Reinstall any components removed for access and the lower rack. Restore power, run a test cycle, and check underneath for leaks while confirming the tub drains completely at the end. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 5/16" nut driver, 5/8" wrench, flathead screwdriver, multimeter, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to pull the dishwasher out from under the counter for this repair?
Not strictly — this pump can be replaced without fully removing the dishwasher. That said, several customers who've done this repair note that pulling the unit out first makes access considerably easier, since you're working from underneath the appliance either way. If you have the space to pull it out, it's worth doing to make the job smoother.
How do I know if the pump has actually failed?
Test the pump motor with a multimeter set to continuity before replacing it. If there's no continuity, or if the pump is receiving power but still won't run, that confirms the motor has failed and the pump should be replaced. This quick check avoids replacing a part that isn't actually the problem.
My old pump was leaking. Why does that happen?
If the impeller becomes damaged or the motor shorts out and stops running, the pump body itself can develop a crack over time, which leads to leakage. Rather than trying to repair a leaking pump, replacing the complete assembly resolves both the drainage failure and the leak at the same time.
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 motor, impeller, and hose connection configuration of the drain pump originally installed in your dishwasher.

Y54414 Dryer Idler Pulley Replaces WPY54414
The Y54414 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM idler pulley wheel and bearing assembly for Whirlpool dryers, and also fits select Maytag, Amana, Caloric, Crosley, Kenmore, and Speed Queen models. This pulley puts tension on the drive belt as it rides against it, and correct tension is what allows the belt to grip properly and spin the drum smoothly throughout the drying cycle.
Available in beige or black, this pulley wheel is 2" wide with a metallic bearing at its center, and mounts beneath the drum using two 5/16" screws. Over time, the bearing wears out or the wheel becomes damaged, and once that happens, the pulley can no longer maintain proper belt tension. Symptoms of a failing idler pulley include the dryer making noise during operation, failing to start, or failing to tumble, even though other parts of the drying cycle — like heating — may continue working normally. It directly replaces WPY54414, WPY54414VP, 14218926, 54414, 54414-REPL, 54414-2, R0609504, R0609504-REPL, AP6024203, AP6329060, PS11757553, EAP11757553, PS17001032, D510142P, 510142P, and 510142.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Remove The Blower Housing And Motor First For Easier Access Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. This pulley is located beneath the drum, so the drum will need to be removed to access it. Per official guidance, it's also recommended to remove the blower housing and motor from the dryer for easier access to the idler pulley. With the drum out and access clear, locate the idler pulley and remove the two 5/16" screws securing it in place. Take out the old pulley. Install the new Y54414 in the same position, making sure it's seated correctly against where the belt will ride, and secure it with the two 5/16" screws. Reinstall the motor and blower housing if removed, then reinstall the drum. Reroute the drive belt around the drum, motor pulley, and this idler pulley, matching the original path. Reassemble any panels removed for access. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm quiet, smooth tumbling with proper belt tension. Tools needed: 5/16" nut driver or socket, Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer dries clothes fine but makes a terrible noise. Is this the part I need?
Yes, this is a documented symptom of a worn idler pulley. One customer described exactly this: "The dryer would dry clothes but made a terrible noise" — after watching a repair video to identify the correct part, they confirmed this idler pulley was the cause, since a worn or damaged pulley can still allow the dryer to function while producing noticeable noise as it rubs or wobbles against the belt.
Is there an easier way to access this pulley than pulling out the whole drum?
The drum does need to come out since this pulley sits beneath it, but official guidance recommends also removing the blower housing and motor from the dryer, which makes reaching and working with the idler pulley considerably easier than trying to access it with those components still in place.
My dryer won't start at all. Could this pulley really be the cause?
Yes, on some models. If the idler pulley fails to put proper tension on the belt, some dryers won't allow the cycle to start at all rather than simply running without tumbling, since certain safety interlocks depend on normal belt tension and drum movement.
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 pulley wheel size, bearing type, and mounting configuration of the idler pulley originally installed in your dryer.
