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. Quick Answer The WP4391960 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer Heating Element fixes older Whirlpool-family electric dryers (LE, EL, early LG series) that produce no heat, run too hot, or take too long to dry. 5200W / 240V, 1/4" male spade terminals (not 5/16").

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.

17438200000404 Genuine OEM Midea Dryer Temperature Sensor (Thermistor) The 17438200000404 is a Genuine OEM Midea replacement dryer temperature sensor (thermistor) compatible with an extensive range of Midea, Criterion, and Insignia electric and gas dryers. This NTC (negative temperature coefficient) thermistor continuously monitors air temperature inside the dryer and sends resistance-based readings to the control board, which uses this data to regulate heating element cycling, prevent overheating, and maintain consistent drying temperatures throughout the cycle. As the thermistor heats up, its electrical resistance decreases in a predictable way, allowing the control board to calculate the exact temperature in real time. When this sensor fails — whether shorted, open, or providing drifted/inaccurate readings — the dryer may overheat, may not heat at all, may dry clothes unevenly, may take much longer than normal to complete a cycle, or may trigger a not-heating fault on models with digital displays. As a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Midea to factory specifications, the 17438200000404 directly replaces WF-123X2060 (an alternate catalog cross-reference used by some suppliers, including for compatible Maytag-branded Midea-built units). Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools. Quick Answer The 17438200000404 Genuine OEM Midea Dryer Temperature Sensor (Thermistor) fixes Midea, Criterion, and Insignia dryers that are overheating, not heating, drying unevenly, or taking too long to dry.

Midea dryers typically have 2–3 temperature sensors: an exhaust thermistor on the blower housing or exhaust duct, a drum thermistor inside the drum cavity, and on heat pump models, an evaporator thermistor — confirm which sensor location matches your symptom and part diagram before starting. Access the sensors by removing the back panel on vented models, or the side/bottom panels on heat pump models. Photograph the connector position before disconnecting. Unplug the old sensor's connector and inspect it for corrosion or heat discoloration on the wires — discoloration indicates prior overheating in that area. Remove the mounting clip or screw securing the old sensor and pull it free. Install the new 17438200000404 sensor in the same position, reseat the connector firmly, and secure the mounting hardware. Reassemble the panel, restore power, and run a test heat cycle to confirm normal temperature regulation. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, multimeter (for testing). Frequently Asked Questions How do I test if the temperature sensor (thermistor) has failed? Unplug the dryer, disconnect the sensor's connector, and set your multimeter to resistance mode. At room temperature (around 70°F), a working NTC thermistor should read approximately 10,000 to 12,000 ohms. If the sensor reads 0 ohms, it has shorted internally. If it reads infinite resistance (open circuit, often shown as "OL" on the multimeter), the sensor has failed open. Either reading confirms the sensor needs replacement. If you have multiple sensors testing bad at the same time, check the shared ground wire — a broken ground connection can cause all sensors on that circuit to read as open even if the individual sensors are fine. My Midea dryer has more than one temperature sensor — how do I know which one to replace? Midea dryers typically use 2–3 temperature sensors depending on the model: an exhaust thermistor mounted on the blower housing or exhaust duct, a drum thermistor inside the drum cavity, and — on heat pump/ventless models — an evaporator thermistor in the refrigerant circuit area. The 17438200000404 is used across this Midea/Criterion/Insignia platform, but confirming the exact mounting location for your specific symptom (e.g., overheating vs. uneven drying) and model number before ordering will help ensure you're replacing the correct sensor. What is the difference between 17438200000404 and WF-123X2060? These are the same temperature sensor. WF-123X2060 is an alternate catalog cross-reference number used by some parts suppliers for the identical Midea-manufactured thermistor — it appears in listings for compatible Maytag-branded Midea-built units as well as the standard Midea, Criterion, and Insignia models. If your dryer's parts diagram shows either number, the 17438200000404 is the correct part. Does this sensor fit my Insignia or Criterion dryer? Yes — Insignia (Best Buy) and Criterion (Sears/Kmart) are house brands whose dryers in this size and configuration are manufactured by Midea and use the same internal components, including this temperature sensor. Confirmed compatible models include Insignia NSDRE67WH8A, NSFDRE67WH8A, NSFDRE77WH8B, NSTDRE67W1, NSTDRE75W1 (electric) and NSFDRG67WH8A, NSTDRG67W1, NSTDRG75W1 (gas), as well as Criterion CDE41N1AW (electric) and CDG41N1AW (gas). Always verify your specific model number before ordering. Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part? This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Midea to factory specifications. It is the exact same NTC thermistor temperature sensor installed in compatible Midea, Criterion, and Insignia dryers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

XPARTCO EXP20AG Glass Line Fuse, Fast Blow, 20A The XPARTCO EXP20AG is an aftermarket replacement fast-blow glass line fuse rated 20A at 250V, used as the primary overcurrent protection component in microwaves and a range of other household appliances. A line fuse sits directly in the incoming power path: as long as current draw stays within its rating, it does nothing at all, but the instant a short circuit or an overcurrent condition pushes current past 20A, the thin wire element inside the fuse melts and opens the circuit — sacrificing itself to protect the more expensive components downstream, like a transformer, magnetron, or control board. A blown fuse is why an appliance can go from working normally to completely dead with no lights, no display, and no response to any button. This is a standard-dimension glass cartridge fuse measuring 6mm x 30mm, fast-blow (fast-acting) rated, so it opens quickly once its rating is exceeded rather than tolerating a brief surge the way a slow-blow fuse would. It is commonly used across GE, Frigidaire, Whirlpool, Kenmore, and other brands' microwaves, and also turns up in HVAC control boards and various small appliances that use this same standard fuse size and rating. A fuse itself does not wear out from age the way a mechanical part does — if one has blown, it is a symptom of an overcurrent event somewhere else in the appliance, and it's worth understanding why before simply swapping in a new one. Quick Answer The XPARTCO EXP20AG Glass Line Fuse fixes microwaves and other appliances that have gone completely dead — no lights, no display, no response to any button. Fast-blow, 20A, 250V, standard glass cartridge, 6mm x 30mm. Commonly used across GE, Frigidaire, Whirlpool, and Kenmore microwaves and other appliances requiring this fuse size and rating. If a new fuse blows again right away, don't just keep replacing it — that almost always means there's an underlying short circuit that needs to be diagnosed first. Common Problems This Part Fixes Microwave completely dead — no display, no lights, no response to any button Appliance suddenly stopped working with no warning Microwave won't start even though the outlet has power HVAC control board or other appliance electronics unresponsive Appliance tripped off after a power surge or brownout Visible blown or darkened fuse when inspected against a light Continuity test shows an open circuit across the old fuse 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. Replaces Part Numbers This glass line fuse directly replaces the following OEM and cross-reference part numbers: EXP20AG, AGC20, GMA20, 20AG, 5304509451, AP6230606, PS12071294, 5304488359, AP5648907, PS5136235, 5304464087 Because this is a standard fuse size and rating rather than a brand-specific component, the exact OEM part number your appliance's manual references will vary. If your part number is not listed above, contact our support team before ordering and we will verify compatibility. Compatibility This fuse is compatible with select appliances from the following brands that use a standard 20A, 250V, fast-blow 6mm x 30mm glass cartridge fuse: GE and Hotpoint microwaves (select models) Frigidaire microwaves (select models) Whirlpool and Kenmore microwaves (select models) KitchenAid, Maytag, and Amana microwaves (select models) Select HVAC control boards and other electronics using this fuse size and rating Note — glass vs. ceramic body: This is the glass-body EXP20AG fuse. A visually similar ceramic-body fuse (commonly labeled EXP20A) is also widely sold at the same 20A/250V rating for many of the same appliances. Check which body material your appliance's original fuse used before ordering, and always match the amperage and voltage rating exactly — never substitute a higher-amperage fuse "to stop it from blowing," since that removes the very protection the fuse is designed to provide. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure which fuse your appliance needs.

Never open a microwave's cabinet without first discharging the capacitor using an insulated screwdriver shorted across its terminals, and never touch the capacitor or its terminals directly. If you are not fully comfortable with this step, have a qualified appliance technician perform the fuse replacement instead. ⚠️ Unplug The Appliance Before Starting — Match Amperage And Voltage Exactly Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Locate the fuse holder — on most microwaves this is accessible after removing the outer cabinet, often near the incoming power cord or the control board. Remove the old fuse from its clip or holder and inspect it: a blown fast-blow fuse often shows a visibly darkened or broken filament, or a scorched glass body. Test with a multimeter set to continuity if the fuse looks intact but you suspect it's still bad — a good fuse shows continuity end to end, a blown one shows none. Install the new EXP20AG fuse in the same holder, making sure the amperage and voltage rating match your appliance's original fuse exactly. Reassemble the cabinet, restore power, and test the appliance. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, insulated screwdriver (for microwave capacitor discharge), multimeter (recommended), work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions I replaced the fuse and it blew again right away. What's going on? A fuse doesn't fail on its own from age — it blows because something downstream drew more current than it should have. If the new fuse blows again immediately, that's a strong sign of an underlying short circuit or a failing component such as the transformer, magnetron, or a shorted capacitor. Continuing to replace the fuse without finding that root cause will just keep blowing new fuses, and in a microwave specifically, that diagnosis involves working near a high-voltage capacitor that should only be handled by someone comfortable discharging it safely, or by a qualified technician. Can I use a higher-amperage fuse if this one keeps blowing? No — this is one of the most important things to avoid with any fuse. The fuse's rating is chosen specifically to protect the wiring and components in the circuit it sits in. Installing a higher-amperage fuse "so it stops blowing" removes that protection and can allow a fault to overheat wiring or damage expensive components (or start a fire) instead of safely interrupting the circuit. Always replace a fuse with the same amperage and voltage rating as the original. How do I know if the fuse is actually blown? Visually, a blown fast-blow fuse often shows a broken or darkened filament inside the glass body, or scorching on the glass itself. If it looks fine but you still suspect it, the reliable way to check is with a multimeter set to continuity (with the appliance unplugged and the fuse removed from the circuit) — a good fuse reads continuity end to end, while a blown fuse reads open with no continuity at all. Is EXP20AG the same as EXP20A? They share the same 20A/250V rating, but EXP20AG refers to the glass-body version of this fuse while EXP20A commonly refers to a ceramic-body version sold for many of the same appliances. Check which body material your appliance's original fuse used, and if you're not sure, contact our support team with your model number for confirmation. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine brand-specific OEM part, but is manufactured to the same standard 20A, 250V, fast-blow glass cartridge dimensions and rating used across the OEM fuses in compatible GE, Frigidaire, Whirlpool, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Maytag, and Amana appliances.
