XPARTCO 131763302 Washer Door Striker
The XPARTCO 131763302 is an aftermarket replacement washer door striker compatible with a wide range of Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore, Crosley, Gibson, Kelvinator, Tappan, and Westinghouse front-load washers — including the Frigidaire Affinity series and a broad set of GLTF, FAFW, FFFW, FFFS, ATF, ATFB, BLTF, CTF, CRTF, FCCW, FRFW, FTF, and FWFB models. The door striker (also called a door strike or door catch) attaches to the inside edge of the washer door and physically enters the lock mechanism on the front panel when the door closes. Once engaged, the strike is what the lock latches onto — and the strike also activates the door switch, signaling the control board that the door is safely closed and the washer can start.
When the striker fails — typically by cracking, chipping, or breaking off from repeated door closures — the washer will not start, will not lock the door, may leak water, or may fail to advance past the fill phase. Gray/red plastic construction, approximately 2.6" x 1.3". This is the current production part number that supersedes many earlier revisions. It directly replaces 131763302, 131763310, 131763300, 131763340, 131763330, 134456600, 134456602, 134456640, 1032664, 1564512, LP3310, PA66-GF25, WH10X10004, AP3580441, AP4508273, AH2378364, AH890617, EA2378364, EA890617, PD00000164, PS2378364, and PS890617. Often replaced together with the matching door lock assembly (131763256, sold separately). Installs in under 5 minutes — no tools required beyond a Phillips screwdriver.

Note: The door striker (131763302) and the door lock assembly (131763256) are two separate components that work together — the striker enters the lock, and the lock grips the striker. If both are worn or one has caused damage to the other, replacing them together as a matched set ensures reliable door locking and prevents premature wear on the new part. Always verify your model number before ordering.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting — Quick Toolless Replacement Disconnect power before beginning. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Open the washer door — if the door is stuck locked because of a failed lock, use a putty knife to release the manual override latch through the bottom service opening. Locate the old door striker on the inside edge of the washer door. It's typically secured by a single Phillips screw. Unscrew the mounting screw and remove the old striker. If the striker has broken off inside the lock mechanism on the front panel, remove any broken pieces from the lock before proceeding — leaving debris in the lock will damage the new striker and prevent proper engagement. Take the new 131763302 striker and align it with the mounting hole in the same direction and orientation as the old one — installing it backwards will prevent the lock from engaging. Secure the new striker with the Phillips mounting screw. Close the door and confirm the striker enters the lock slot smoothly. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm the door locks properly and the washer starts. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife (for stuck doors), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the door striker and the door lock assembly?
These are two separate parts that work together as a system to lock the washer door. The door striker (131763302) is the plastic part attached to the inside edge of the washer door — when the door closes, the striker enters the lock. The door lock assembly (131763256) is the assembly mounted on the front panel just inside the door opening — it contains the latching mechanism that grips the striker and the electrical switch that tells the control board the door is closed. If the striker is broken, the lock has nothing to grip and the washer won't start. If the lock is broken, the striker can still enter the slot but the lock won't hold it or send the right signal. Both can fail independently, and often wear together — many repairs call for replacing both at the same time.
What is the difference between 131763302 and the older 131763310 or 131763300?
All are the same door striker across production revisions. 131763300 was the original OEM part number, 131763310 and 131763340 were mid-generation revisions, and 131763302 is the current OEM production version. Frigidaire also uses 134456600, 134456602, and 134456640 as additional catalog references for the same part. All are physically and functionally interchangeable — if your washer's parts diagram shows any of these numbers, the 131763302 is the correct current replacement, and this listing covers all of them.
My washer won't start and the door seems to close normally — could this be the striker?
Yes, this is one of the most common symptoms of a failed door striker on Frigidaire-platform front-load washers. Even though the door appears to close, if the striker has cracked or worn down, it may not physically engage the lock or activate the door switch correctly. Visually inspect the striker on the inside edge of the door — if it's broken, missing, chipped, or its tab has worn down, replacement is straightforward. Also inspect the lock opening on the front panel: if there are broken plastic pieces inside from the old striker, they need to be removed before the new striker can seat properly.
Do I really only need a Phillips screwdriver for this repair?
Correct — the 131763302 striker is held in place by a single Phillips mounting screw on the inside edge of the washer door. Remove the old striker, install the new one in the same orientation, and tighten the screw. The whole replacement typically takes under 5 minutes once you have the new part in hand. Just make sure to install it in the correct direction — installing the striker backwards will prevent the lock from engaging when the door closes.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Frigidaire/Electrolux OEM part, but is manufactured from durable plastic to match the dimensions (approximately 2.6" x 1.3"), mounting configuration, and lock-engagement function of the original 131763302 door striker used in compatible Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore, Crosley, and related front-load washers.

XPG499 Microwave Door Switch (Normally Closed)
The XPG499 is a universal replacement normally closed (NC) door interlock switch for microwave ovens and microwave/oven combination units. This is a critical safety component: microwave door interlock switches exist specifically to cut power to the magnetron the instant the door opens, preventing any possibility of microwave radiation escaping the cavity while the door isn't fully closed and latched. This switch's normally closed contact design matches a wide range of microwave door latch mechanisms across GE, Whirlpool, Samsung, LG, Kenmore, and other brands.
Rated 16A, 125/250VAC. Over time, this switch's contacts can wear, pit, or fuse together from repeated cycling and the electrical load carried every time the door opens and closes. A failing interlock switch typically shows up as a microwave that won't start at all, a display that works but the unit won't heat, or intermittent operation tied to the door latch area. This is the normally closed counterpart to our EXP497 (normally open) and EXP480 (combined NC/NO) listings — always confirm which specific contact configuration your microwave's failed switch uses before ordering.
Quick Answer
The XPG499 Microwave Door Switch (Normally Closed) fixes microwave ovens and microwave/oven combos that won't start, won't heat, or operate intermittently near the door latch area. 16A, 125/250VAC, normally closed (NC) contact design. Never operate a microwave with a bypassed, disconnected, or suspected-faulty door interlock switch — these switches exist to prevent radiation exposure and must always be replaced with a properly rated part, never removed or defeated.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Microwave won't start at all, even though the display and buttons respond normally
Microwave display and timer work, but the unit won't heat
Microwave stops working intermittently, especially around the door latch
Clicking or buzzing sound from the door area without the microwave starting
Breaker tripping when the door is opened, indicating a switch contact that has fused shut
Door that doesn't feel like it's latching securely

Compatibility
This door switch is a universal replacement compatible with convection microwave ovens, grill microwave ovens, microwave/oven combination units, and solo microwave ovens across many brands including GE, Whirlpool, Samsung, LG, and Kenmore, wherever the original switch matches this normally closed (NC) contact configuration and electrical rating.
Note: Microwave door interlock systems typically use two or three separate switches working together (primary interlock, monitor/secondary switch, and sometimes a third safety switch), and not all of them share this same normally closed (NC) configuration. This is a different part from our EXP497 (normally open) and EXP480 (combined NC/NO) listings. Confirm which specific switch position has failed on your microwave, and match the contact configuration and electrical rating exactly — never substitute a switch with a different configuration. Always verify your full model number before ordering. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure which switch your microwave needs.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Danger — Never Bypass A Door Interlock Switch Unplug the microwave before beginning any work, and if it's a built-in or over-the-range unit, shut off power at the breaker as well. Microwave ovens also contain a high-voltage capacitor that can retain a dangerous electrical charge even after the unit is unplugged — avoid touching internal components near the capacitor and magnetron. Door interlock switches are a critical safety system: they exist specifically to cut power the instant the door opens, preventing microwave radiation from escaping the cavity. Never operate a microwave with an interlock switch disconnected, bypassed, or jumpered, even temporarily — doing so can expose you and others to microwave radiation. If you are not fully comfortable working inside a microwave's internal compartment, have a qualified appliance technician perform this repair instead.
⚠️ Photograph Wiring Before Disconnecting — Match The Failed Switch Exactly Wear work gloves. Remove the outer cabinet or access panel per your model's service instructions to reach the door switch assembly, typically located near the door latch mechanism. Photograph the wiring on the old switch before disconnecting anything, and confirm you're replacing the correct switch position if your microwave uses multiple interlock switches. Disconnect the wire terminals from the old switch, remove its mounting screws, and pull it free. Install the new XPG499 in the same position, reconnect each wire terminal to its original position, and secure the mounting screws. Reinstall the cabinet or access panel. Restore power and test that the microwave starts normally with the door closed, and — this is the critical safety check — confirm the unit stops heating immediately when the door is opened during a test run with a cup of water. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My microwave stopped working. How do I know if it's actually a door switch and not something else?
A common pattern is a microwave where the display and buttons respond normally, but pressing start does nothing, or the unit hums without heating — this points toward the door interlock circuit rather than the control board. Since these switches also serve a critical safety function, if you suspect a fault in this area, it's best to have it properly diagnosed and replaced rather than working around the symptom.
Is it safe to just disconnect a faulty interlock switch so the microwave will run?
No — this is not safe under any circumstances. Door interlock switches exist specifically to cut power to the magnetron the instant the door opens, preventing microwave radiation from escaping. Bypassing, disconnecting, or jumpering one of these switches removes that protection and can expose you and anyone nearby to microwave radiation, even if the microwave otherwise appears to run normally. Always replace a faulty switch with a correctly rated new one rather than working around it.
How is this different from your EXP497 and EXP480 listings?
These are different contact configurations for different switch positions in a microwave's door interlock system. This XPG499 is normally closed (NC) only. Our EXP497 listing is normally open (NO) only, and our EXP480 listing combines both NC and NO contacts in a single switch body. Since most microwaves use two or three interlock switches with different configurations, check which contact type your specific failed switch uses before ordering.
My microwave trips the breaker whenever I open the door. What does that mean?
This can indicate that one of the door switches has fused or welded its contacts shut from repeated electrical stress, so it continues carrying current when it shouldn't. This is a genuine safety concern and the affected switch should be replaced promptly rather than continuing to use the microwave.

XPARTCO WE01X30638 Laundry Center Control Knob
The XPARTCO WE01X30638 is an aftermarket replacement control knob compatible with select GE, Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore GE-built laundry centers (stacked washer/dryer combination units). The control knob mounts on the timer or cycle selector shaft on the laundry center's control panel — it's what you grip and turn to choose wash cycles, dry cycles, and timer settings on both the washer and dryer sections of the unit. Because a stacked laundry center's knobs get twice the daily use of a standalone appliance (one control panel serving both washer and dryer functions), cracked and stripped knobs are one of the most common repairs on these units.
Constructed from durable black ABS plastic with a polished silver edge ring and an internal metal plate insert that grips the D-shaped control shaft — allowing precise detent positioning so you land exactly on your desired cycle setting. Approximately 2" in diameter with thick inner walls to resist the cracking that plagues aging original knobs. Snap-on installation — pulls straight off, pushes back on, no tools required. This is the current production version, directly superseding WE01X24776. It also replaces 4961358, AP6996856, PS16226089, and EAP16226089. Installs in under 1 minute — no tools required.
Quick Answer

Black ABS plastic with polished silver edge, ~2" diameter, internal metal plate for a firm shaft grip. Snap-on — no tools required. Current part superseding WE01X24776; also replaces 4961358, AP6996856, PS16226089, EAP16226089. Compatible with GE GUD27ESPM0DG, GUD27ESPM1DG, GUD27GSPM0DG, GUD27GSPM1DG and related GUD27 series laundry centers.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Control knob cracked or split from age and repeated use — the most common failure on GUD27-series laundry centers
Knob spinning freely on the shaft — internal grip stripped, no longer changing settings when turned
Knob difficult to turn or not responding — worn internal metal plate no longer engaging the shaft
Knob missing entirely from the control panel
Knob loose and wobbling on the shaft — imprecise cycle selection
Hairline cracks visible around the knob's shaft opening — early-stage failure that will soon strip
Knob damaged from impact or overtightened grip
Replacing multiple aging knobs at once — original knobs from the same production era tend to crack around the same time

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Laundry Center Before Starting — Quick Toolless Replacement Disconnect power before beginning as a general safety precaution. Locate the old control knob on the laundry center's control panel. Grip the knob firmly and pull it straight off the control shaft — it should come off with a moderate pull (no tools required). If the knob is cracked and spinning without releasing, wrap a soft cloth around it for extra grip, or gently pry it off with a plastic tool (avoid metal tools that could scratch the control panel). Once the old knob is off, inspect the metal control shaft — note the D-shape (flat side) of the shaft. If the shaft itself is damaged, worn round, or the timer behind it feels loose, the underlying timer or switch may also need attention. Align the new WE01X30638 knob's internal D-shaped receiver with the flat side of the shaft and push it firmly straight on until it seats fully. Rotate the knob through its full range to confirm it clicks into each detent position cleanly and the indicator lines up with the panel markings. Restore power and run a quick test cycle. If replacing multiple knobs, repeat for each position — they're all identical on compatible GUD27-series units. Tools needed: None (soft cloth optional).
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do the knobs on my GE laundry center keep cracking?
The original knobs on GUD27-series laundry centers are subject to constant rotational stress concentrated at the D-shaped shaft opening — and on a stacked laundry center, one control panel serves both the washer and dryer, so the knobs see roughly double the daily turning of a standalone appliance's controls. Over years of use, hairline cracks form at the shaft opening and gradually spread until the knob's grip strips and it spins freely. The replacement knob's thick inner walls and internal metal plate insert are designed to resist this failure pattern. If one of your knobs has cracked, check the others — knobs from the same production era typically crack around the same time, and replacing them together saves a repeat order.
What's the difference between WE01X30638 and WE01X24776?
These are the same control knob across production revisions. WE01X24776 was the earlier GE part number, and WE01X30638 is the current production version that GE issued as its direct replacement. Both are physically and functionally interchangeable — if your laundry center's parts diagram shows WE01X24776, the WE01X30638 is the correct current replacement, and this listing covers both numbers. There may be a very slight color variation between the new knob and your aged originals, but the fit and function are identical.
How do I remove the old knob if it's cracked and just spins?
When the internal grip has stripped, the knob spins on the shaft instead of pulling off cleanly. Wrap a soft cloth around the knob for extra grip and pull firmly straight out while wiggling slightly. If that doesn't work, gently work a plastic pry tool (a plastic putty knife or old credit card) behind the knob's base and lever it outward evenly around its circumference. Avoid metal tools, which can scratch the control panel. If the knob is badly cracked, you can also carefully break away the remaining plastic to free it from the shaft. Once removed, the new knob pushes straight on.
Does this knob work for both the washer and dryer controls on my laundry center?
Yes — on compatible GUD27-series laundry centers, the control knobs across the panel are the same part, whether they operate washer cycle selection, dryer timer, or other rotary controls that use the same D-shaped shaft. If you're replacing more than one knob, a single part number covers all matching positions. Just confirm each position's knob is the same ~2" diameter style before ordering multiples — if your unit has a visibly different-sized knob at any position, verify against the parts diagram first.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine GE OEM part, but is manufactured from durable ABS plastic with an internal metal plate insert to match the dimensions (~2" diameter), D-shaped shaft receiver, snap-on installation, and appearance of the original WE01X30638/WE01X24776 control knob used in compatible GE, Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore GE-built laundry centers.

17438000001584 Genuine OEM Midea Dryer Belt Safety Switch
The 17438000001584 is a Genuine OEM Midea replacement belt safety switch compatible with select Midea, Criterion, and Insignia electric and gas dryers. This safety switch is positioned near the drive belt and tensioner pulley assembly, where it monitors belt-related conditions and interrupts electrical flow to the motor or heating circuit if a fault or unsafe condition is detected — such as a broken or severely slipped drive belt. This is a key safety mechanism: if the belt fails and the drum can no longer be safely driven, this switch helps prevent the motor from continuing to run unsafely or the heater from continuing to operate without normal airflow from drum rotation.
When this switch fails, the dryer may not start, may shut off unexpectedly during operation, or may fail to heat even though other components test correctly. As a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Midea to factory specifications, the 17438000001584 measures 2"L x 2"W x 3"H and weighs approximately 1 oz. It is found on the same parts diagram as the drive belt, tensioner pulley assembly, and drum support components on compatible models. Installs in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools.

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.

WH23X29553 Genuine OEM GE Washer Water Valve
The WH23X29553 is a genuine GE OEM water inlet valve for GE front-load washers, and also fits select Hotpoint, RCA, Haier, Monogram, and Café models. This valve controls the flow of water into the washer from the household supply line — when the control calls for a fill, the valve's solenoid opens to admit water, and closes again once the correct level is reached. Built with an ABS plastic body and stainless steel components for durability against corrosion.
Common failure causes include mineral or sediment buildup inside the valve body, a burned-out internal solenoid coil, and general wear over years of use. A failing valve typically shows up as the washer not filling properly, filling too slowly, or leaking water. It directly replaces WH23X29553, 33090202, C-491/20-A13, AGE26162, AP6983554, EAP12743643, PD00067381, PS12743643.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Shut Off Water Supply And Unplug Washer Before Starting — Release The Control Panel Carefully Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker, and shut off both hot and cold water supply valves before beginning. Wear work gloves. Access to this valve is typically behind the front control panel on many models. When removing the front control panel, avoid pulling it straight out too far — slotted tabs on the right side of the panel can break if forced. Instead, pull the panel gently forward, then slide it to the right to release it cleanly. With the panel released, locate the valve and disconnect the hot and cold water supply hoses, keeping a towel handy for residual water. Photograph the wiring and hose connections before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the electrical connector and the outlet hoses from the old valve, remove its mounting screws, and pull it free. Install the new WH23X29553 in the same position, reconnect all outlet hoses to their original positions, reconnect the electrical connector, and secure the mounting screws. Reattach the hot and cold supply hoses, tightening securely. Reinstall the control panel and any surrounding trim, restore the water supply, and check every connection for leaks before restoring power. Run a full test cycle across a few different temperature settings to confirm each fill function works correctly. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, pliers, towel, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I remove the front control panel without breaking it?
Avoid pulling the panel straight out with heavy force — the slotted tabs on the right side of the panel can snap if you pull too far. Instead, pull the panel gently forward first, then slide it to the right to release it from its mounting. This gentler approach avoids the most common way this panel gets damaged during a valve repair.
I've heard this valve sometimes needs replacing again after just a couple of years. Is that normal?
Some owners have reported needing to replace this valve again within a relatively short time, even after a successful repair. While most installations hold up well long-term, if you experience a repeat failure, it's worth double-checking your household water pressure and mineral content, since hard water and high pressure can accelerate wear on any water valve regardless of brand.
Is this the same as WH23X29538? The numbers look almost identical.
No, these are two separate GE valve part numbers with different 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 valve rather than assuming based on a close match, since ordering the wrong one means it won't fit correctly.
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 solenoid design, flow rate, and connection type of the water valve originally installed in your washer.
