XPARTCO DG44-01002A Surface Element Infinite Switch
The XPARTCO DG44-01002A is an aftermarket replacement dual element infinite switch (energy regulator) for Samsung electric ranges. This switch does two jobs at once: it regulates how much electrical current reaches its surface element, which is what lets you dial in a precise heat level rather than just on/off, and it also controls the "hot surface" indicator light associated with that burner, letting you know when the element is still hot after use.
Over time, the internal contacts in this switch can wear, stick, or fail electrically. Because a single switch controls both functions, a failing switch can produce two very different-looking symptoms depending on which function is affected: the burner may stay stuck on high heat regardless of the dial setting, fail to produce any heat at all, or the hot surface indicator light may stay on for hours after the surface has completely cooled, even though the element itself tests fine. It directly replaces 2087510, MDSA-W21-SKM, MDSA-W888-UNM, MDSA-W888-UM, AP4337066, PS4240803, and EAP4240803.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO DG44-01002A Surface Element Infinite Switch fixes Samsung electric ranges where a burner is stuck on high heat regardless of the dial setting, won't produce any heat at all, or the hot surface indicator light stays on for hours after the surface has cooled. Dual element design. Replaces 2087510, MDSA-W21-SKM, MDSA-W888-UNM, MDSA-W888-UM, AP4337066, PS4240803, EAP4240803. This switch controls both the element and its indicator light — if your indicator light won't turn off even though the burner is cool, this switch (not the element) is the cause.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Burner stuck on high heat regardless of the dial setting
Burner won't produce any heat at all
Hot surface indicator light stays on for hours after the burner has completely cooled
Inconsistent heating — burner doesn't hold the selected temperature level
Unresponsive burner controls
Burner that heats erratically rather than at a steady, selected level

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Range Before Starting — Photograph Wiring Before Disconnecting Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Access is typically from the rear of the control panel or the underside of the cooktop, depending on your model. Photograph the wiring connections on the old switch before disconnecting anything, since correct wire placement is essential for the switch to control the right burner and indicator light. Remove the screws securing the old switch, gently pry it out, and mark or note each wire's position for reference. Disconnect the wires from the old switch and remove it fully. Install the new DG44-01002A in the same position, reconnect each wire to its original terminal exactly as photographed, and secure the mounting screws. Restore power and test the burner across its full range of settings, confirming both the heat output and the indicator light behave correctly. Tools needed: screwdriver, pliers, pen or pencil for marking wires, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My hot surface light stays on for hours even though the burner has cooled down. Is this the switch?
Yes. This is a documented symptom specific to this switch, since it controls both the surface element and its indicator light together. If the light isn't going out even though the surface itself is cool to the touch, the switch — not the element — is the correct part to replace.
My burner is stuck on high heat no matter what setting I choose. Is that the switch or the element?
It could be either, so it's worth testing both with a multimeter before replacing. Test the radiant element first — it should read between 0 and 120 ohms if it's working correctly. Then test the infinite switch itself: remove it, connect a multimeter probe to each prong, and turn the switch to an on position. No continuity indicates the switch is the issue. Several customers have confirmed this exact symptom by swapping switches between two burners and watching the problem follow the switch, which is also a reliable way to isolate the cause if you have two dual-element burners.
Should I replace the element (DG47-00022A) at the same time?
Not necessarily, but it's worth testing both parts if you're not sure which one has failed, since a bad element and a bad switch can produce overlapping symptoms. If your multimeter tests confirm only the switch has failed, replacing just this part is sufficient.
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 dual-element switching function, wire terminal configuration, and mounting design of the original DG44-01002A infinite switch used in compatible Samsung electric ranges.

XPARTCO 280148 Dryer Thermostat Set
The XPARTCO 280148 is an aftermarket replacement thermal fuse and high-limit thermostat set for Whirlpool electric dryers, and also fits select Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, Roper, Estate, Crosley, Admiral, KitchenAid, and Norge models. This set bundles the 8557403 high-limit thermostat, which monitors temperature and automatically cuts power to the heating element if it overheats, then resets itself once the dryer cools, together with the 8318314 thermal fuse, a one-time backup safety device that permanently opens the circuit if temperatures climb high enough that the thermostat alone doesn't prevent an overheat.
These two parts are sold together and commonly fail around the same time, since they protect the same circuit and respond to the same underlying overheating conditions — most often restricted exhaust venting. Symptoms include the dryer not heating at all, taking longer than normal to dry a load, or overheating before shutting down. It directly replaces 280148VP, 1175772, AP3874047, PS991443, EAP991443, and 314634.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 280148 Dryer Thermostat Set fixes Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, Roper, Estate, Crosley, Admiral, KitchenAid, and Norge electric dryers with no heat, drying that takes too long, or a dryer that overheats before shutting down.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Inspect And Clean The Venting Before Reassembling Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Access is typically through the rear panel, near the heating element and blower housing where both components are mounted. Photograph the wiring connections before disconnecting anything, since the thermostat and fuse can be easy to swap positions by mistake. Remove each old component from its mounting position, noting orientation, and disconnect its wiring. Before reassembling, 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. Restricted airflow is the leading cause of failure for both of these components, and skipping the vent check often leads to repeat failures even with new parts installed. Install the new 8557403 thermostat and 8318314 thermal fuse from this set in the same positions as the parts they replace, reconnecting wiring exactly as photographed. Reassemble the panel, restore power, and run a full test cycle to confirm normal, consistent heating with no premature shutoffs. Tools needed: Phillips or nut driver (model-dependent), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why replace both the thermostat and the fuse together instead of just the one that failed?
These two parts protect the same circuit at different thresholds and tend to fail from the same underlying cause. If the high-limit thermostat isn't regulating temperature correctly, the thermal fuse often ends up blowing as the backup safety measure. Replacing only one risks the other failing again shortly after, so they're sold and serviced together as a set.
I replaced this set and the dryer failed again. What should I check?
This is a strong sign the underlying cause — almost always restricted airflow — was never addressed. 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. Failing to correct a venting issue will cause repetitive failures of this set even when it's brand new.
Should I replace the heating element at the same time?
It's worth considering if your dryer's heating element (commonly WP8544771 on compatible models) is original and has been running alongside a failing thermostat, since sustained overheating can stress the element as well. It's not required, but since you'll already have the panel open for this repair, it's a reasonable time to inspect the element for visible damage.
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 temperature thresholds and mounting configuration of the original 280148 high-limit thermostat and thermal fuse set used in compatible Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, Roper, and related electric dryers.

XPARTCO 279973 Dryer Thermostat Kit
The XPARTCO 279973 is an aftermarket replacement dryer thermostat and thermal cut-off kit compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool-family electric dryers including Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Inglis, Roper, and Admiral. The kit contains two components — the high-limit thermostat (L295-80F) and the thermal cut-off fuse — both located on the heating element housing. Together they protect the dryer's heating element from overheating: the high-limit thermostat monitors element temperature and cuts power if it exceeds safe levels, then resets when cooled. The thermal cut-off fuse is a backup one-time device that permanently opens the circuit if the thermostat fails to protect the element.
Both parts are mounted on the side of the heating element housing and can be accessed through the dryer's back panel. The thermal cut-off fuse is a non-resettable one-time device — once it opens, it must be replaced. The 279973 kit includes both parts, an instruction sheet, and hardware. It directly replaces 3391913, 3404151, 3404152, 3977395, 8318314, 897710, 279973VP, AP3094323, and several additional cross-reference numbers. Note: this kit is for electric dryers only. Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 279973 Dryer Thermostat Kit fixes Whirlpool-family electric dryers with no heat, overheating, or a dryer that shuts off too early. Kit includes the L295-80F high-limit thermostat (auto-reset, opens at 295°F) and the thermal cut-off fuse (352°F, one-time). Both mount on the heating element housing. Electric dryers only. Replaces 3391913, 3404151, 8318314, 897710, AP3094323. Compatible with Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Inglis, Roper, and Admiral.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Electric Dryers Only Disconnect power before beginning. Remove the back panel of the dryer by unscrewing the perimeter screws to expose the heating element housing. Both the high-limit thermostat and thermal cut-off fuse are mounted on the side of the heating element housing — the thermostat is typically the larger component and the thermal cut-off fuse is smaller. Test each component with a multimeter before removing (both should show closed continuity at room temperature; the failed one will read open). Photograph the wiring before disconnecting. Disconnect the wires, remove the mounting screws, and install the new components in the same positions. Reconnect the wires and mounting screws, reinstall the back panel, restore power, and run a test cycle to confirm heat. Tip: Before running the dryer, clean the full length of the exhaust duct — a clogged vent is the most common cause of overheating and a blown thermal cut-off fuse. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, multimeter.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the high-limit thermostat and the thermal cut-off fuse in this kit?
The high-limit thermostat (L295-80F) is a resettable safety switch that opens at 295°F to cut power to the heating element and resets automatically when the temperature drops. It is the primary protection against overheating during normal operation. The thermal cut-off fuse is a one-time backup device rated at 352°F — it permanently opens the circuit if the heating element temperature climbs beyond the point the thermostat should have caught. Once the cut-off fuse opens, it must be replaced; it does not reset on its own. If the cut-off fuse has blown, it usually means the high-limit thermostat also failed to do its job and should be replaced at the same time — which is exactly what this kit provides.
How do I test these parts with a multimeter?
Unplug the dryer and remove the back panel to access the heating element housing. Disconnect each component from the wiring and probe both terminals with a multimeter set to continuity or resistance mode. At room temperature, both the high-limit thermostat and the thermal cut-off fuse should show closed continuity (near-zero resistance). Any component that reads open circuit (no continuity) has failed and needs to be replaced. The thermal cut-off fuse reads open even after it cools — it is non-resettable. The high-limit thermostat may read open at room temperature if it has failed internally rather than by an overheat trip.
How is the 279973 kit different from the XP6974 thermostat kit?
The 279973 is a 2-part kit — high-limit thermostat and thermal cut-off fuse — designed specifically for the heating element housing of Whirlpool-family electric dryers. The XP6974 is a 4-part kit — cycling thermostat, thermal fuse, high-limit thermostat, and thermal cut-off — designed for Whirlpool-family gas and electric dryers, covering both the exhaust duct components and the burner/element housing components. If your electric dryer is showing no-heat and you need only the heating element housing components, the 279973 kit covers exactly those two parts. If you want to replace all thermal components in one repair, the XP6974 covers a broader set.
Why does the thermal cut-off fuse keep blowing?
If the thermal cut-off fuse blows repeatedly after replacement, it almost always means there is an underlying overheating condition causing the heating element housing to run hotter than it should. The most common cause is a clogged or restricted exhaust vent — lint accumulation in the duct reduces airflow, trapping heat inside the dryer cabinet and around the element. Other causes include a failed cycling thermostat that is not regulating element temperature correctly, a stuck heating element relay, or a dryer in an enclosed space with inadequate ventilation. Always clean the full exhaust duct and check the cycling thermostat (WP3387134) before replacing the thermal cut-off fuse a second time.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement kit built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured to match the temperature ratings and specifications of the original 279973 high-limit thermostat and thermal cut-off fuse kit.

WD15X26078 Genuine OEM GE Dishwasher Water Inlet Valve
The WD15X26078 is a Genuine OEM GE replacement dishwasher water inlet valve compatible with a wide range of GE, GE Profile, Café, Haier, Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore GE-built dishwashers. The water inlet valve is mounted at the base of the dishwasher behind the lower access panel, connecting the household water supply line to the dishwasher's fill circuit. When the control board calls for water during the fill phase, the valve's internal solenoid opens, allowing water to flow into the tub — and it closes the instant the call is dropped, stopping flow precisely at the correct fill level. Without a properly functioning inlet valve, the dishwasher can't fill correctly — leading to poor cleaning performance, error codes, or no wash at all.
Rated 120V, 60Hz. Approximate dimensions: 3.75" H x 3.25" W x 3.00" L. Silver/multi-color metal and plastic construction with a deep-threaded, high-quality water inlet for a tight supply-line connection and a secure outlet design that keeps the internal fill hose firmly attached. As a Genuine OEM part manufactured by GE to factory specifications, the WD15X26078 directly replaces 4959029, AP6986683, PS16217027, EAP16217027, and PD00064270. Hard water sediment is a leading cause of inlet valve clogging and failure on GE dishwashers — if your old valve is restricted by mineral buildup, replacement (not cleaning) is the recommended fix, as the internal components are easily damaged during cleaning attempts. Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The WD15X26078 Genuine OEM GE Dishwasher Water Inlet Valve fixes GE, GE Profile, Café, Haier, Hotpoint, and Kenmore dishwashers that aren't filling with water, fill slowly, display the H2O error code, make strange noises or vibration during fill, won't stop filling, or leak from the valve area. 120V, 60Hz. Approx 3.75"H x 3.25"W x 3.00"L. Genuine OEM GE. Replaces 4959029, AP6986683, PS16217027, EAP16217027, PD00064270. Compatible with GDF, GDT, GDP, PDT, PDP, QDP, ZDT, DDT, and Café CDT series dishwashers.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dishwasher and Shut Off Water Supply Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power at the breaker and shut off the household water supply at the shutoff valve under the sink before beginning. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Have towels and a shallow dish ready — residual water remains in the supply line and hoses and will spill when disconnected. Remove the lower access panel (baffle) at the front bottom of the dishwasher — typically 2–4 screws. Locate the water inlet valve where the household supply line enters the dishwasher. Photograph the hose and wire connections before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the household water supply line from the valve inlet (use pliers for the larger ingress connection — place the dish underneath to catch leftover water). Disconnect the internal fill hose from the valve outlet (needle-nose pliers help with the smaller egress hose clamp). Unplug the electrical connector that snaps onto the valve solenoid. Remove the mounting screws holding the valve bracket to the frame and lift the old valve out. Install the new WD15X26078 valve in the same position, secure the mounting screws, reconnect the internal fill hose with its clamp, and snap the electrical connector back on. Reconnect the household water supply line to the valve inlet — align the threads carefully and tighten snugly without over-torquing. Turn the water supply back on and use a flashlight to inspect all connections for leaks BEFORE reinstalling the access panel. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm proper filling with no leaks. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, pliers, needle-nose pliers, shallow dish, towels, flashlight, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the H2O error code mean on my GE dishwasher?
The H2O error code on GE dishwashers indicates the control board is not detecting sufficient water intake during the fill phase. Common causes are: a failed or clogged water inlet valve (the most frequent culprit), the household water supply shutoff valve partially closed, a kinked supply line, or low household water pressure. First verify the supply valve under the sink is fully open and the line isn't kinked. If the supply checks out, the WD15X26078 inlet valve is the standard fix — hard water sediment gradually clogs the valve's internal screen and passages, restricting flow until the dishwasher can't fill within its expected time window.
Can I clean the old valve instead of replacing it?
It's not recommended. While the inlet screen on some valves can be carefully brushed clean, the internal passages and solenoid diaphragm of a sediment-clogged valve are easily damaged during cleaning attempts — a common outcome is a valve that leaks or sticks open after being "cleaned," which risks flooding. Real-world experience (including customer stories with this exact part) shows that attempting to clean a hard-water-clogged valve often breaks it. Given the moderate cost of the OEM replacement versus the flood risk of a compromised valve, replacement is the reliable repair. If your area has hard water, consider this a maintenance item that may need periodic replacement.
My dishwasher won't stop filling — is that also this valve?
Yes — a valve stuck in the open position is the other failure mode. When sediment or a worn diaphragm prevents the valve from sealing fully closed, water continues to flow into the tub even when the control board has cut power to the solenoid. This can lead to overfilling and potentially flooding through the door or float overflow. If your dishwasher keeps filling past its normal level, or you find water accumulating in the tub between cycles, shut off the water supply at the sink immediately and replace the valve before running the dishwasher again.
How do I know this is the right valve for my GE dishwasher?
Check your dishwasher's model number (on a label along the door frame or tub edge) against the compatibility list above — the WD15X26078 covers a broad range of GE GDF, GDT, GDP, Profile PDT/PDP, QDP, Monogram ZDT, DDT, and Café CDT series dishwashers. Be aware that some similar-looking GE valves (such as WD15X24213 or WD15X26140) are different parts used on other model groups — they are not interchangeable with the WD15X26078. If your model isn't in the list or your original valve shows a different part number, contact our support team with your model number and we'll verify the correct valve before you order.
Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by GE to factory specifications. It is the exact same water inlet valve installed in compatible GE, GE Profile, Café, Monogram, Haier, Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore GE-built dishwashers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

XPARTCO 8580309 Dishwasher Door Latch Strike Replaces WP8580309
The XPARTCO 8580309 is an aftermarket replacement door latch strike for Whirlpool-built dishwashers. This small metal component attaches at the top of the dishwasher tub and locks the door latch securely in place whenever the door is closed. It does double duty: mechanically, it's what keeps the door held shut and properly tensioned against the tub opening to maintain a watertight seal during the wash cycle, and it also acts as the actuator that trips the door switch, telling the control that the door is closed and it's safe to run.
Made from durable metal, measuring approximately 2" in length. Over years of opening and closing the door, the strike can wear down, bend from an accidental impact, or simply weaken to the point where it no longer holds the latch with enough tension. Debris buildup around the strike can also interfere with proper latching. A failing strike produces a clear set of symptoms: the dishwasher won't start because the door switch never registers as closed, the door feels loose or doesn't seal tightly when shut, or water leaks out around the door during a cycle. It directly replaces WP8580309, AP6013574, 8269111, 1181203, AH1156352, EA1156352, PS1156352, and PS11746800.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 8580309 Dishwasher Door Latch Strike fixes Whirlpool, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Maytag, Amana, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, Estate, Inglis, and Crosley dishwashers that won't start because the door won't latch, feel loose when closed, or leak water around the door during a cycle. Metal construction, approximately 2" long. Replaces WP8580309, AP6013574, 8269111, 1181203, AH1156352, EA1156352, PS1156352, PS11746800. Package includes small parts — keep away from young children during installation.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dishwasher Or Shut Off Breaker Before Starting Unplug the dishwasher or shut off the house circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Open the dishwasher door and locate the door latch strike mounted at the top of the tub opening, above where the door latch engages when closed. Using a flat-blade screwdriver, remove the screws securing the old strike in place, then lift it free. Position the new 8580309 strike in the same location, aligning it so the door latch will catch and engage correctly when the door is closed, and secure it with the mounting screws. Close the door and confirm the latch catches firmly and holds the door snugly against the tub with no give. Restore power and run a test cycle, checking around the door for any signs of leaking. Tools needed: flat-blade screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dishwasher won't start even though I closed the door. Is this the strike?
It's a strong possibility. This strike acts as the mechanical actuator for the door switch — when the door closes, the strike is what physically trips the switch to signal the control that it's safe to run. If the strike has worn down, bent, or weakened, the door may appear closed without properly triggering that switch, leaving the dishwasher unable to start even though nothing looks obviously wrong.
Water is leaking around my door during the cycle. Could that be this part?
Yes, this is a common cause. The strike provides the tension that pulls the door snugly against the tub opening to maintain a watertight seal. If it's worn or damaged, the door may close but without enough holding tension to keep the seal tight, letting water seep out around the edges during the wash.
Is this the same strike used on all Whirlpool dishwashers?
No. Whirlpool uses more than one door latch strike design across its dishwasher lineup — for example, the W10544004 / WPW10544004 strike is a separate part used on other models such as the WDF520PADM, WDT730PAHZ, and WDT720PADM. Always check your full model number before ordering to make sure you're getting the correct strike for your specific dishwasher.
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 dimensions, mounting configuration, and door-tensioning function of the original WP8580309 latch strike used in compatible Whirlpool, Kenmore, KitchenAid, and related dishwashers.
