XPARTCO WE25X205 Dryer Drum Bearing
The XPARTCO WE25X205 is an aftermarket replacement rear drum bearing kit for GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore electric and gas dryers. The rear drum bearing supports the back of the drum and lets it turn smoothly and quietly as the belt drives it. When the bearing wears out, the drum starts to squeal, rumble, or grind while it turns, and a badly worn bearing can let the drum sit unevenly or scrape.
This is a direct-fit aftermarket replacement for the original GE kit. GE's catalog lists WE25X205 as superseded to WE25M40, and this listing covers both numbers. Because the drum has to come out to reach the bearing, it is a good time to inspect the drum belt, idler pulley, and drum glides and replace any that look worn.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WE25X205 Dryer Drum Bearing fixes a GE, Hotpoint, or Kenmore dryer that squeals, rumbles, or grinds when the drum turns. It replaces the rear drum bearing and is also listed under WE25M40. Classic symptom: a loud squeal or rumble that follows the drum and is there with or without heat.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Loud squealing or squeaking while the drum turns
Rumbling or grinding noise from the back of the dryer
Drum that wobbles, drags, or doesn't turn smoothly
Excess vibration during a cycle
Noise that continues even when the dryer is running without heat

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. Remove the top and front panel as shown in your model's service guide, then lift the drum belt off and slide the drum out, which is easier with a second person. Remove the old rear bearing from the back panel, install the new one in the same position, and reassemble in reverse order. Check the belt, idler pulley, and drum glides while the drum is out and replace any that are worn. Plan on about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer squeals when the drum turns. Is this the part I need?
A squeal that follows the drum is most often a worn rear drum bearing, though a worn idler pulley or drum glides can make similar noise. If you can spin the drum by hand and feel roughness or hear grinding, the bearing is a likely cause.
What's the difference between WE25X205 and WE25M40?
GE's catalog lists WE25X205 as superseded to WE25M40, and retailers list them as interchangeable. This listing covers both numbers.
Should I replace the drum belt at the same time?
It's a good idea. The drum has to come out to reach the bearing, so this is the easiest time to inspect the belt, idler pulley, and drum glides and replace anything worn.
Will this fit my dryer?
It is listed for many 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 8573713 Gas Dryer Thermal Cut-Off Fuse Replaces WP8573713
The XPARTCO 8573713 is an aftermarket replacement thermal cut-off fuse for Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Crosley, Amana, and Inglis gas dryers. This fuse is mounted on top of the burner funnel, directly under the drum, and it's a one-time safety device: as long as the dryer stays within its normal operating temperature, it does nothing at all, but the instant temperatures near the burner climb high enough — almost always from restricted airflow — the fuse permanently opens the circuit and cuts power. That's why a blown fuse produces such a specific symptom: the dryer won't heat, even though the drum may still tumble and the rest of the dryer seems to run normally.
Because this fuse sits on the burner funnel underneath the drum rather than on the more accessible blower housing, replacing it is a more involved repair than a typical thermal fuse swap — the drum has to come out of the cabinet to reach it. Unlike a resettable thermostat, this 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 near the burner is exactly what this fuse is designed to react to. It directly replaces WP8573713, AP6013467, and PS11746693.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 8573713 Gas Dryer Thermal Cut-Off Fuse fixes Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Crosley, Amana, and Inglis gas dryers that won't heat, even if the drum still tumbles normally. Mounted on the burner funnel under the drum. Replaces WP8573713, AP6013467, PS11746693. 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 runs and tumbles but produces no heat
Dryer that stopped heating suddenly, especially after running unusually hot
Drying times that have gotten noticeably longer or clothes coming out damp
Repeated blown fuses on a dryer with a known venting or airflow restriction
Dryer that recently smelled like burning or overheating before losing heat
Continuity test shows an open circuit across the old fuse

Installation Notes
⚠️ Gas Safety — Shut Off The Gas Supply Before Starting This fuse sits directly on the burner funnel, close to the gas burner assembly. Before beginning, close the gas shutoff valve behind the dryer in addition to unplugging the dryer or shutting off its circuit breaker. If at any point you smell gas, stop immediately, leave the area, and do not operate any switches — contact your gas utility or a qualified technician. Do not attempt this repair if you are not comfortable working safely around a gas appliance's burner assembly; a qualified technician can complete it instead.
⚠️ Drum Removal Required — Inspect And Clean The Venting Before Reassembling Wear work gloves. This repair requires removing the drum from the dryer cabinet to access the burner funnel, so budget more time and disassembly than a typical thermal fuse swap. Remove the top and front panels according to your model's service diagram, disconnect the drive belt from the idler pulley, and lift the drum out of the cabinet to expose the burner funnel underneath. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting the old fuse's connectors. Test the old fuse for continuity with a multimeter to confirm it's actually blown (no continuity) rather than assuming, and test the new fuse to confirm it's good out of the box. 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 8573713 fuse on the burner funnel in the same mounting position, reconnect the wiring, and reassemble the drum, belt, and panels in reverse order. Restore the gas supply and 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 tumbles fine but there's no heat. Is this the right part?
Yes, this is the classic symptom of a blown gas dryer thermal cut-off fuse. Because this fuse only interrupts the heating circuit and not the drive motor, the drum can continue tumbling completely normally while the dryer produces no heat at all. If you've confirmed the burner isn't igniting and the fuse tests as an open circuit, this is very likely the fix.
Why does this repair require removing the drum? My other dryer's fuse didn't need that.
This particular fuse is mounted on the burner funnel underneath the drum rather than on the blower housing at the back of the cabinet, which is where many thermal fuses on other platforms are located. Reaching the burner funnel requires taking the drum out of the cabinet, which is why this repair involves more disassembly than some other thermal fuse replacements.
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.
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 to match the electrical specifications and mounting configuration of the original WP8573713 thermal cut-off fuse used in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Crosley, Amana, and Inglis gas dryers.

WP21352320 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Drive Belt
The WP21352320 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM drive belt for Whirlpool top-load washers. This belt connects the drive motor to the transmission at the bottom of the washer, and it's what actually spins the basket during the wash and spin cycles. Unlike a dryer's drum belt, which simply tumbles a drum, this washer drive belt has to transfer real torque to spin a heavy, water-filled basket, which puts it under considerably more mechanical stress.
Measuring approximately 51" long and 3/8" wide. A worn or broken belt produces a distinctive set of symptoms: the washer may not spin at all, spin only slowly, agitate poorly or not at all, fail to drain properly since the pump relies on the same drive system, or produce a burning smell or loud grinding noise as a worn belt slips against the pulley. One useful diagnostic tip worth knowing: a belt can look intact at a glance but still be worn out — if the sides of the belt appear shiny or glazed rather than matte, that's a sign of slippage-related wear even without a visible crack. It directly replaces 21001478, 21352320, 35-2073, 35-2320, AP6005822, WP21352320VP, and PS11738882.
Quick Answer
The WP21352320 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Drive Belt fixes Whirlpool, Maytag, Roper, Admiral, Jenn-Air, Estate, Magic Chef, Crosley, Inglis, Norge, Amana, Kenmore, KitchenAid, and Ikea top-load washers with a drum that won't spin, spins slowly, won't agitate, won't drain, or produces a burning smell or loud grinding noise. Approximately 51" long, 3/8" wide. Replaces 21001478, 21352320, 35-2073, 35-2320, AP6005822, WP21352320VP, PS11738882. A belt can look intact but still be worn out — check the sides for a shiny, glazed appearance, which indicates slippage wear even without a visible crack.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer And Shut Off Water Supply Before Starting — Consider The Motor Pulley While You're In There Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker, and shut off both the hot and cold water supply valves before beginning. Pull the washer out from the wall for full access. Wear work gloves. Locate the drive belt around the motor at the bottom of the washer. Use a flathead screwdriver or hex wrench to remove the screws holding the motor bracket in place, which releases tension on the belt. Carefully slide the motor bracket off the motor, and use pliers if needed to work the old belt off the pulley. While the bottom of the washer is accessible, this is a good time to inspect the motor pulley for wear as well, since it's a related component you'll already have exposed. Install the new WP21352320 belt around the pulley and transmission, following the same routing as the old belt, and make sure it's seated securely and tightened properly — a loose or improperly seated belt will slip and wear out quickly. Reattach the motor bracket with its screws. Restore the water supply and power, then run a test cycle to confirm the washer spins, agitates, and drains normally with no unusual noise. Tools needed: multi-bit screwdriver, hex wrench, standard pliers, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My belt looks fine — no cracks or visible damage. Could it still need replacing?
Yes, and this is a common source of confusion. A belt can appear intact with no cracks and still be worn out. Check the sides of the belt closely: if they look shiny or glazed rather than having a matte, textured surface, that glazing indicates the belt has been slipping against the pulley, which is a clear sign of wear even without visible cracking.
My washer pumps and drains but the drum spins slowly or not at all. Is this the belt?
Yes, this is one of the most direct symptoms of a worn or slipping drive belt. Since this belt is what actually transfers the motor's power to spin the basket, a worn belt can slip under load, causing slow or absent spinning even though the motor itself and the drain pump are both working normally.
Should I replace the motor pulley at the same time?
It's worth inspecting while you have the bottom of the washer accessible, even if you don't end up replacing it. A worn pulley can accelerate wear on a brand-new belt, so checking its condition during this repair is a reasonable precaution, especially if your old belt showed the glazed, slipping-related wear pattern.
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 length, width, and routing configuration of the drive belt originally installed in your washer.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting (Shut Off Gas First on Gas Models) — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power before beginning (and shut off the gas supply first if you have a gas dryer model). Wear work gloves — there are sharp metal edges inside the dryer cabinet. Remove the lint filter housing screws, release the top panel locking clips with a putty knife, and lift the top panel. Remove the front panel to access the drum, drive belt, and tensioner pulley assembly. Locate the belt safety switch in this area — refer to your model's parts diagram to confirm its exact mounting position, as it is positioned near the belt and tensioner pulley support. Photograph the wire connections before disconnecting. Disconnect the wires from the old switch, remove the mounting screw or clip, and pull the switch free. Install the new 17438000001584 switch in the same position, secure the mounting hardware, and reconnect the wires. While this area is open, it's a good time to inspect the drive belt and tensioner pulley for wear, since this switch is related to belt operation. Reassemble the front panel and top panel in reverse order. Restore gas and power, and run a test cycle to confirm the dryer starts and runs normally. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the belt safety switch do?
The belt safety switch monitors belt-related conditions near the drive belt and tensioner pulley assembly and interrupts electrical flow to the motor or heating circuit if it detects a fault or unsafe condition — such as a broken or badly slipped drive belt. This is a protective measure: if the belt has failed and the drum can no longer be driven normally, the switch helps prevent continued unsafe operation of the motor or heater. It works alongside other safety components in the dryer (like the door/cover switch and thermal limiters) as part of an overall safety system.
My dryer just had a belt replacement and now isn't working right — could this switch be involved?
It's possible. Since this switch is positioned near the belt and tensioner pulley assembly, it can be disturbed, dislodged, or its connector improperly reseated during a belt replacement. If your dryer is behaving erratically after a recent belt repair — failing to start, shutting off, or not heating — check that this switch's connector is fully seated and that the switch itself wasn't damaged during the repair. If the connector is good and the switch tests as an open circuit with a multimeter, it has failed and needs replacement.
How do I test if this safety switch has failed?
Unplug the dryer, disconnect the switch's wire connector, and set your multimeter to continuity mode. With the belt and tensioner mechanism in their normal operating position, the switch should show closed continuity (allowing current to flow). If the switch shows an open circuit when it should be closed, it has failed and needs replacement. Always refer to your specific model's wiring diagram to confirm the expected switch state, since exact behavior can vary by dryer model.
Does this switch fit Insignia and Criterion dryers as well as Midea?
Yes — Insignia (Best Buy) and Criterion (Sears/Kmart) are house brands whose dryers in certain configurations are manufactured by Midea and use the same internal components, including this belt safety switch. Confirmed Criterion models include the CDG41N1AW and CDG45N1AW gas dryers. Always verify your specific model number before ordering to confirm compatibility.
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 belt safety switch installed in compatible Midea, Criterion, and Insignia dryers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

XPARTCO EXP570 Dryer Door Latch Kit
The XPARTCO EXP570 is an aftermarket replacement door catch and strike kit for dryers from Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, Roper, Estate, Frigidaire, GE, Hotpoint, Inglis, LG, and other comparable brands. The catch and strike work as a pair: the strike on the dryer door engages the catch on the cabinet to hold the door shut for the whole cycle. When either part wears, cracks, or gets knocked out of alignment, the door stops latching reliably. It may not stay closed, it may pop open mid-cycle and let heat escape, or the dryer may refuse to start because it doesn't register the door as closed.
Each kit includes 1 door catch and 1 strike, so you can replace the full latch set in one repair rather than guessing which half is worn. Because this latch design was used across several appliance families, the kit carries a long cross-reference list covering Whirlpool, Frigidaire, GE, LG, and Alliance-built part numbers; see the Replaces list below.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO EXP570 Dryer Door Latch Kit fixes a dryer door that won't stay closed, opens mid-cycle, or an open-door condition that keeps the dryer from starting, caused by a worn or damaged catch and strike. Each kit includes 1 door catch and 1 strike. Fits Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, Roper, Estate, Frigidaire, GE, Hotpoint, Inglis, and LG dryers. Classic symptom: the door swings open on its own, or you have to hold it shut to get the dryer to run.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer door won't stay closed
Door pops open in the middle of a cycle
Dryer won't start because the open-door condition isn't clearing

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Power Before Installing Unplug the dryer or switch off its circuit breaker before beginning. Open the door and inspect the old catch on the cabinet and the strike on the door for cracks, wear, or loose mounting. Remove the old catch and strike, keeping track of how each one is oriented and mounted. Fit the new catch and strike in the same positions and fasten them securely. Close the door and confirm it latches with a firm click, stays shut, and lines up evenly with the cabinet. If the door still won't seat properly after the swap, check the door hinges and alignment, since a misaligned door can wear out new latch parts quickly.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer door won't stay shut — is this the part I need?
Very likely. A worn or damaged catch or strike is a common reason a dryer door won't latch or pops open mid-cycle. Inspect both parts for cracks or wear. Because the two work as a pair, replacing both at once is the surest fix.
My dryer won't start and seems to think the door is open. Could this be the cause?
It can be. If the door isn't latching fully, the dryer may not register it as closed. If the latch looks fine and the door closes firmly but the dryer still won't start, the door switch may be the problem instead.
What's included in the kit?
Each kit includes 1 door catch and 1 strike. If you only need the catch, we also offer it separately as the EXP571 Dryer Door Catch.
Will this fit my Whirlpool, Frigidaire, GE, or LG dryer?
This kit is cross-referenced to part numbers from all of those brands, but it fits specific models rather than every dryer. Match the number on your old latch parts or parts diagram against the Replaces list, or contact our support team with your model number and we'll confirm before you order.

Genuine OEM WP697772 Dryer Blower Wheel
The WP697772 is a genuine OEM blower wheel from Whirlpool for Whirlpool-built dryers and washer-dryer combos sold under the Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Crosley, Inglis, and Admiral names. The blower wheel attaches to the drive motor shaft and moves air over the heat source, through the drum, and out the exhaust vent. When the wheel wears, cracks, loses a fin, or comes loose on the shaft, the dryer gets noisy and airflow drops, so clothes take longer to dry.
This is a genuine OEM part, not an aftermarket equivalent, so the fit and balance match the original. If your dryer is only noisy, check the blower for lint buildup first, since a clogged wheel can sound like a failing one.
Quick Answer
The Genuine OEM WP697772 Blower Wheel fixes a Whirlpool-built dryer that is noisy, has weak airflow, or takes too long to dry because the blower wheel is worn, cracked, or damaged. Genuine OEM from Whirlpool. Classic symptom: a rattling, thumping, or squealing noise from the back of the dryer, with damp clothes at the end of a normal cycle.
Common Problems This Part Fixes

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Power Before Installing Unplug the dryer or switch off its circuit breaker, and shut off the gas supply first if it's a gas model. Wear work gloves. Following your model's service guide, remove the front cover to reach the blower housing, then the back cover to access the motor shaft. Hold the motor shaft steady while you unscrew the retaining nut and pull off the old wheel. Reviewers report that the nut is left-hand threaded on these dryers, so check the thread direction before forcing it. Thread the new wheel on while holding the shaft, tighten it, and replace the covers. Clean the blower housing and exhaust duct of lint while you have the dryer open, and inspect the new wheel on arrival for damage.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer is noisy. Is this the part I need?
Possibly. Before replacing the wheel, check whether it is clogged with lint, which can cause noise and imbalance. If the wheel is clean but cracked, chipped, or loose on the shaft, replace it. Also check the drum rollers and idler pulley, which can make similar sounds.
Is the nut on the shaft left-hand threaded?
Reviewers report that it is on these dryers, so turn it the opposite way to a normal nut when removing the old wheel. Check on your dryer before applying force.
My old wheel is marked 697772 or W10211915. Will this work?
Yes. Both numbers are on the Replaces list. If you're unsure, contact our support team with your model number and we'll confirm.
Is this a genuine Whirlpool part?
Yes. This is a genuine OEM Whirlpool part, not an aftermarket equivalent.

XPARTCO W10721967 Washer Drive Clutch Kit
The XPARTCO W10721967 is an aftermarket replacement drive clutch kit — often called a "splutch" kit — for Whirlpool-built top-load washers. This assembly sits at the base of the transmission and works together with the mode shift actuator to control how power reaches the washer: during agitation, the clutch engages to drive the washplate back and forth, and during spin, it locks up to spin the inner wash basket at full speed. The name "splutch" comes from what it actually is — part spring, part clutch — and that spring-loaded design is what lets the same assembly smoothly transition between the gentle agitate motion and the much more forceful spin cycle.
This is a complete 6-piece kit: spring, clutch housing, cam ring, basket drive gear, drive pulley, and mounting nut, so you're replacing the entire wear-prone assembly at once rather than chasing individual worn components. Over time the clutch's friction surfaces glaze over and wear down, the cam ring's engagement points round off, and the spring loses tension — all of which produce the same telltale complaint: a loud grinding, clicking, or clunking noise during agitation or spin, sometimes alongside a washer that spins weakly, agitates but won't spin, or runs hot and starts to smell from the friction of a slipping clutch. It directly replaces AP5951296, W10006352, W10006353, W10006354, W10006356, W10006382, W10239973, W10315818, W10326374, W10536113, W10721967VP, W10818965, W11396423, 3319979, and PS10057144.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO W10721967 Washer Drive Clutch Kit fixes Whirlpool-built top-load washers with loud grinding, clicking, or clunking noise during agitation or spin, a washer that agitates but won't spin, weak or no spin, an overheating smell, or a drum that doesn't spin the pump properly. Complete 6-piece "splutch" kit — spring, housing, cam ring, basket drive gear, pulley, and nut. Replaces AP5951296, W10006352, W10006353, W10006354, W10006356, W10006382, W10239973, W10315818, W10326374, W10536113, W10721967VP, W10818965, W11396423, 3319979, PS10057144. Often replaced together with the drive belt, since both wear on a similar schedule and share the same teardown.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Loud grinding, clicking, or clunking noise during agitation or spin
Washer agitates normally but won't spin, or spins very weakly
Drive pump doesn't rotate properly, leading to slow or incomplete draining
Washer stops agitating partway through a cycle

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer And Shut Off Water Before Starting — Tip Onto Its Back Or Front With Care Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker, and close the water supply valves before beginning. Wear work gloves. Access is from underneath the washer: remove the inner wash basket first (this typically requires a large basket-hub or spanner tool and applying steady upward pressure to break the basket free from the drive hub), then carefully tip the washer onto its back or front, protecting the top and any control panel with a blanket or padding as you lay it down. Photograph the belt and pulley arrangement before disconnecting anything. Remove the drive belt from the motor pulley, then remove the mounting nut and pull the old clutch/pulley assembly off the transmission shaft — a puller tool can help if it's seized. Install the new W10721967 assembly onto the shaft in the same orientation, torque the mounting nut to the manufacturer's specification, and reinstall the drive belt, checking that it seats correctly in the pulley grooves. Carefully stand the washer back upright, reinstall the wash basket, and reconnect it to the drive hub. Restore water and power, then run a full test cycle through agitate and spin, listening for the grinding or clicking noise that prompted the repair. Tools needed: basket-hub removal tool or spanner wrench, socket set, 13mm socket, 5/16" nut driver, pliers, work gloves, and a helper to assist with tipping the washer.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does "splutch" mean, and why is it sold as one kit instead of individual parts?
"Splutch" is shorthand for spring-clutch — the assembly combines a spring-loaded clutch mechanism with the drive pulley and gear that together control agitation and spin. Whirlpool sells this as a single kit because the individual components wear together and interact closely; replacing just the pulley while leaving a worn cam ring or a fatigued spring in place often means the noise or slipping symptom returns quickly. Replacing the complete kit resolves the failure at its actual source.
My washer agitates fine but won't spin. Is this the clutch?
It's one of the most common causes of exactly that symptom. The clutch has to lock up firmly to transfer full power into spinning the basket; if its friction surfaces have worn down or glazed over, it can still engage well enough for the lighter agitation motion but slip under the higher torque demand of spin. If you hear grinding or clicking specifically as the washer transitions into spin, that reinforces the clutch as the likely cause.
Should I replace the drive belt at the same time?
It's worth strongly considering. The belt and clutch wear on a similar schedule and share the same teardown — you're already tipping the washer over and removing the belt to access the clutch, so replacing a belt that's showing wear at the same time saves you from repeating the whole disassembly again in the near future. Inspect the belt for glazing, cracking, or fraying while it's off and replace it if it shows any of those signs.
The washer smells hot or burnt. Is that dangerous, and does it point to this part?
A worn clutch that's slipping generates friction heat, which can produce a warm, slightly burnt smell — this is a real symptom of clutch wear and not something to ignore, since continued operation in that state accelerates wear on the clutch and can stress the drive motor. If you notice this smell along with weak or absent spin, stop using the washer and address the clutch before running further loads.
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 to match the spring tension, cam ring engagement geometry, pulley dimensions, and mounting configuration of the original W10721967 clutch kit used in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Amana, Crosley, Roper, and Inglis top-load washers.

12238200001084 Genuine OEM Midea Dryer Bearing House Assembly (Drum Rear Bearing)
The 12238200001084 is a Genuine OEM Midea replacement bearing house assembly compatible with select Midea, Criterion, and Insignia electric and gas dryers, including the CDE41N1AW series. The bearing house assembly is mounted at the rear of the drum and houses the bearing that the rear drum shaft rotates within, supporting the back of the drum and allowing it to spin smoothly. Unlike front-mounted slide rollers used on some dryer platforms, this Midea design uses a rear bearing housing assembly to carry the load at the back of the drum.
When the bearing house assembly wears out — typically from age, lack of lubrication, or accumulated lint and debris — the drum no longer spins smoothly on its rear support, resulting in grinding, rumbling, or squealing noise, increased drum drag, and in advanced cases, visible wobble or binding of the drum during rotation. As a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Midea to factory specifications, the 12238200001084 is a complete bearing house assembly designed as a direct replacement for the original equipment component. Installs in 45–60 minutes with basic hand tools, as drum removal is required.
Quick Answer
The 12238200001084 Genuine OEM Midea Dryer Bearing House Assembly fixes Midea, Criterion, and Insignia dryers with grinding, rumbling, or squealing noise from the rear of the drum, increased drum drag, or visible drum wobble. Mounted at the rear of the drum — houses the bearing the rear drum shaft rotates within. Genuine OEM. Compatible with Midea CDE41N1AW and related Midea electric dryer platform models. Requires drum removal to access — a more involved repair than a front roller swap.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Loud grinding or rumbling noise from the rear of the drum during the drying cycle
Squealing or squeaking noise as the drum rotates — worn or dry bearing surface
Increased drag or resistance felt when manually rotating the drum by hand
Drum wobbling or binding during rotation — worn bearing no longer providing stable support

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power before beginning. Wear work gloves — there are sharp sheet metal edges inside the dryer cabinet. Remove the lint filter housing screws, release the top panel locking clips with a putty knife, and lift the top panel. Remove the front panel to access the drum. Take a photo of the belt routing before disconnecting the drive belt from the idler pulley. Carefully lift the drum out of the cabinet and set it aside on a padded surface. Locate the bearing house assembly mounted at the rear bulkhead where the drum's rear shaft was seated. Remove the mounting screws or clips securing the old bearing house assembly and pull it free. Clean any accumulated lint or debris from the mounting area before installing the new part. Install the new 12238200001084 bearing house assembly in the same position and secure the mounting hardware. Reinstall the drum, re-route and reconnect the drive belt, and reassemble the front and top panels. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm the drum rotates smoothly and quietly. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the bearing house assembly do?
The bearing house assembly is mounted at the rear bulkhead of the dryer and houses the bearing that the rear drum shaft rotates within. It supports the back of the drum as it spins, allowing smooth, low-friction rotation throughout the drying cycle. Unlike dryer platforms that use front-mounted slide rollers or felt seals for drum support, this Midea design relies on a dedicated rear bearing housing to carry the structural load at the back of the drum. As the bearing wears, friction increases, leading to noise, drag, and eventually wobble or binding if left unaddressed.
How do I know if the bearing house assembly has failed versus another component?
A grinding, rumbling, or squealing noise specifically tied to drum rotation — rather than the blower motor or idler pulley — and noise that changes pitch as the drum speeds up or slows down often points to the rear bearing. With the dryer unplugged and the drum exposed (front panel removed), try rotating the drum by hand: if you feel noticeable resistance, grinding, or grittiness compared to a smooth, free rotation, the bearing house assembly has likely worn out and needs replacement.
Why does this repair require removing the drum?
The bearing house assembly is mounted at the rear bulkhead behind the drum, supporting the drum's rear shaft from the inside. There is no way to access this component without first removing the front panel and lifting the drum out of the cabinet. This makes it a more involved repair than swapping a front-accessible part like a belt or idler pulley, but it follows the same general dryer disassembly procedure used for accessing other internal drum components.
Should I inspect other components while the drum is out?
Yes — since the drum must already be removed to access the bearing house assembly, this is an excellent opportunity to inspect the drive belt, idler pulley, and any felt seals or gaskets around the drum opening for wear. Components in this drum drive system tend to wear together, and addressing multiple worn parts in a single repair session helps avoid a near-term repeat teardown.
Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part?

WH01X24697 Washer Genuine OEM Drive Belt
The WH01X24697 is a genuine GE OEM drive belt for GE top-load washers, and also fits select Hotpoint, Haier, Monogram, and Café models. This belt connects the drive motor to the drive system, transmitting rotation to spin the basket during the wash and spin cycles.
Measures approximately 21" long, made of durable, flexible rubber engineered to reduce slipping and squeaking while withstanding regular tension and wear. Over time, the belt stretches, cracks, or breaks from age and normal use. If your washing machine is making unusual noise, not spinning correctly, or the basket isn't moving, this drive belt may be the cause. It directly replaces 4585709, 290D1101P003, 5PJ576SJ83, AGE26179, AP6037512, EAP11767488, OEM18112545, PD00034405, PS11767488. As a genuine OEM part, the WH01X24697 is manufactured by GE to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning. Wear work gloves. Remove the back panel of the washer using a socket wrench set, taking out the securing screws and carefully lifting the panel away. Locate the drive belt near the motor, at the bottom of the washer. Use a screwdriver to loosen the tensioner, then gently slide the old belt off the pulleys. Fit the new WH01X24697 belt around the pulleys in the same path as the old one, then re-tension it with the tensioner. Reinstall the back panel and secure its screws. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm the basket spins smoothly with no unusual noise. Tools needed: socket wrench set, screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer's basket isn't spinning. Is this the belt I need?
Yes, this is one of the most common symptoms of a failed drive belt. Since this belt is what transmits rotation from the drive motor to the basket, a stretched, cracked, or broken belt can leave the motor running while the basket doesn't spin correctly or at all.
Is this a difficult repair?
No, it's a straightforward repair for a confident DIYer with basic tools. It involves removing the back panel to access the belt near the motor, loosening the tensioner, and swapping the belt — no specialized skills required.
Is this the same as WH01X24180 or WH01X27538?
No, these are separate GE/Hotpoint drive belts with their own distinct cross-reference sets, despite the similar numbering. Always confirm the exact part number from your washer's parts diagram or the sticker on your old belt rather than assuming based on a close number match.
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 length, material, and pulley fit of the drive belt originally installed in your washer.

Aftermarket rear drum support roller for select Amana, Maytag, Admiral, Crosley, Speed Queen, Magic Chef, Kenmore and Whirlpool-built dryers.
Product Overview
