279827 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer Drive Motor
The 279827 is a Genuine OEM Whirlpool replacement dryer drive motor with pre-attached pulley, compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, Estate, and Kenmore dryers. The drive motor is the component that powers everything that moves in your dryer — it turns the drum belt (which rotates the drum to tumble clothes) and simultaneously drives the blower wheel (which pushes heated air through the drum and out the exhaust vent). When the motor fails, the dryer either won't start, won't tumble, stops mid-cycle, or makes loud humming, buzzing, or grinding noises.
This is a dual-shaft motor: the drive shaft (1-3/4" long) connects to the drum belt via the pre-attached pulley, and the blower shaft (1-3/4" long) drives the blower wheel. The pulley is pre-attached and is not available separately — if your old motor's pulley is worn, this replacement includes a new one. As a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications, the 279827 is one of the most widely used dryer motors across the Whirlpool platform, replacing over 70 legacy part numbers spanning decades of production. Key cross-references include W10448892, W10396029, W10194250, 8066206, 3395654, 3398046, 3391888, 3395652, AP3094245, PS334304, and EAP334304. Includes the motor assembly, two 1/8" insulated female terminals, and instructions. Before replacing the motor, check the thermal fuse (electric dryers) and door switch first — a blown fuse or failed switch produces identical no-start symptoms and is a far cheaper fix. Installs in 45–90 minutes with basic hand tools.

Important — Before Replacing the Motor: A dryer that won't start can be caused by several components that are far cheaper and easier to replace than the motor. Before ordering, check the thermal fuse (electric dryers — test for continuity with a multimeter), the door switch (test for continuity when pressed), and the start switch. All three produce identical no-start symptoms. Only replace the motor after ruling out these common causes — a motor replacement is a significant repair, and it's far cheaper to replace a $10 thermal fuse than a $150+ motor. Always verify your dryer model number before ordering.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Disconnect Power Before Starting — 240V Circuit (Electric) or Gas Line (Gas) — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power at the breaker before beginning — electric dryers operate on a 240V circuit and there is a serious risk of electrical shock. For gas dryers, also shut off the gas supply at the shutoff valve. Wear work gloves and safety glasses. Pull the dryer away from the wall. Remove the lint screen and the screws beneath it. For most Whirlpool-platform dryers, remove the top panel by releasing the spring clips at the front, then detach the front panel by removing the screws at the top corners. Disconnect the door switch wires and set the front panel aside. Support the drum and slide it forward to access the motor at the bottom rear. Remove the drum belt from the motor pulley and idler pulley. Photograph the motor's wiring connections before disconnecting. Disconnect the electrical connections from the motor. Remove the blower wheel from the old motor's blower shaft — this typically requires a clamp or clip removal (the blower wheel threads off counterclockwise on many models). Remove the motor mounting clip/bracket and lift out the old motor. Install the new 279827 motor in the same position. Transfer the blower wheel onto the new motor's blower shaft and secure it. Reinstall the motor mounting clip/bracket. Reconnect the electrical connections using the included insulated female terminals if needed (match your photos). Re-route the drum belt around the drum, through the idler pulley, and onto the motor pulley. Reassemble the front panel, top panel, and lint screen. Restore power (and gas for gas dryers) and run a test cycle — confirm the drum spins smoothly and heated air flows through the drum. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, socket/ratchet set, putty knife (for spring clips), needle-nose pliers, work gloves, safety glasses.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer won't start — is the motor definitely the problem?
Not necessarily — and this is important because a motor replacement is a significant repair. A dryer that won't start can be caused by several components that are far cheaper and easier to replace. Before ordering the motor, check these first: 1) Thermal fuse (electric dryers) — a blown thermal fuse is the single most common cause of a no-start condition. Test for continuity with a multimeter; if it reads open, replace the fuse (~$10). 2) Door switch — test for continuity when pressed; if it's failed, the dryer won't start as a safety measure. 3) Start switch — if pressing the start button produces no response at all, the start switch itself may have failed. Only replace the motor after ruling these out. Signs that point specifically to the motor: a loud humming or buzzing when you press start (motor trying but can't turn), grinding or squealing from the motor area, or a motor that runs intermittently and cuts out.
Why does the motor hum but the drum doesn't turn?
A humming motor that won't turn is a classic sign of a seized or failing motor — the windings are energized (hence the hum) but the shaft can't rotate because the bearings have failed or the motor is mechanically stuck. This can also be caused by the blower wheel being jammed with lint or debris, preventing the shaft from turning — so before condemning the motor, check the blower wheel for obstructions. If the blower wheel spins freely and the motor still hums without turning, the motor has failed and needs replacement. Note: a humming motor that won't start will eventually trip the thermal fuse as a safety measure, so you may need to replace both the motor and the thermal fuse.
Why are there so many cross-reference part numbers for this motor?
The 279827 is one of the most extensively cross-referenced parts in the Whirlpool catalog because it's been the standard dryer drive motor across the Whirlpool platform for decades — spanning Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Roper, Estate, Kenmore, and many other brands that Whirlpool manufactures for. Over the years, the motor has been assigned different part numbers by different brands, distributors, and catalog systems (W10448892, W10396029, 8066206, 3395654, 3398046, etc.), but they all point to the same motor. If your old motor shows ANY of those numbers, the 279827 is the correct replacement.
Does this motor come with the pulley?
Yes — the pulley is pre-attached to the motor and is not available separately. The pulley is what the drum belt rides on, transferring the motor's rotation to the drum. If your old motor's pulley was worn or grooved (a common cause of belt slipping and squealing), the new 279827 includes a fresh pulley. You will need to transfer the blower wheel from your old motor to the new one — the blower wheel is not included.
Should I replace the belt and idler pulley while changing the motor?
It's strongly recommended. When you replace the motor, the dryer is already apart and both the drum belt and idler pulley are right there in your hands. All three components wear from the same friction and heat cycles, and installing a new motor with a worn belt or a seized idler pulley puts unnecessary stress on the new motor from day one. Many technicians replace the belt, idler pulley, and drum support rollers as standard maintenance whenever the dryer is opened for a motor replacement — the combined cost of these parts is modest compared to the labor of disassembling the dryer again later.
Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications. It is the exact same drive motor with pulley installed in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, Estate, and Kenmore dryers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

WP4391960 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer Heating Element
The WP4391960 is a Genuine OEM Whirlpool replacement dryer heating element used in older-generation Whirlpool-family electric dryers, including Whirlpool, Kenmore, Roper, Estate, Amana, and Admiral models — particularly the LE, EL, and early LG series dryers. The heating element is the primary heat source in an electric dryer — a nickel-chromium resistance coil wound around ceramic insulators inside a steel housing that generates heat when electrical current passes through it. When the coil burns through, the circuit opens and the dryer produces no heat. A shorted coil that contacts the housing is a fire hazard and requires immediate replacement.
This Genuine OEM part is manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications and is rated 5200W / 240V with 1/4" male spade terminals. Note: this element uses 1/4" terminals — different from the 5/16" terminals on the 279838 and WP3387747 elements. The wire kit and wire nuts (part 279457) are no longer included with this element and must be ordered separately if the original wires are damaged. It consolidates a very large list of older cross-reference numbers including 4391960, 2013, 279247, 279248, 279410, 279411, 696579, 696326, 697290, 786077, AP6009347, PS11742505, and dozens more. Installs in 20–45 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Do Not Touch the Coil Wire Disconnect power before beginning. Remove the back panel of the dryer to access the heating element housing. On older LE-series Whirlpool models, the element housing is mounted at the lower rear of the dryer and may have a top panel over the housing that must be removed before the element can be freed. Photograph all wiring before disconnecting. Note: the element's wires and wire nuts (279457 kit) are no longer included with the WP4391960 — if your existing wires are in good condition, reuse them; if damaged, order 279457 separately before beginning. Do not touch the new element's coil wire at any point — skin oils create hot spots that will prematurely burn the element. Disconnect the old element wires, unscrew the housing mounting screws, and remove the old element. Install the new WP4391960 in the same orientation, reconnect wiring, reinstall the housing, and restore power. Run a test heat cycle to confirm normal operation. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between WP4391960 and 279838 or WP3387747?
All three are Genuine OEM Whirlpool dryer heating elements, but for different generations of dryers and with different terminal sizes. The WP4391960 (5200W, 1/4" spade terminals) is for older-generation Whirlpool LE/EL series and early Kenmore dryers. The 279838 (5400W, 5/16" terminals) is for standard-capacity mid-generation Whirlpool-family dryers. The WP3387747 (5200W, 5/16" terminals) is for newer higher-capacity models like the Duet, Cabrio, HE, and GEW/GEQ series. The terminal size difference is important — the WP4391960 uses 1/4" spade terminals, while the other two use 5/16" terminals. Always verify your model number before ordering.
Why does this element have so many cross-reference part numbers?
The WP4391960 consolidates a very large number of older Whirlpool heating element part numbers that were used across many different model runs over the years. As Whirlpool refined the design and standardized parts across its lineup, it consolidated these older numbers into the current WP4391960. If your dryer's parts diagram shows any of the hundreds of older cross-reference numbers listed above, the WP4391960 is the correct current replacement.
Why is the wire kit (279457) not included?
Whirlpool changed the packaging of this part during a production revision and no longer includes the wire kit and wire nuts that were previously bundled with the element. If your existing element wires are in good condition, you can reuse them — carefully transfer each wire to the corresponding terminal on the new element, maintaining the original connections. If any wires are burned, melted, or damaged, order part 279457 (wire kit) separately before beginning the repair.
How do I test if the heating element has failed?
Unplug the dryer and disconnect the element terminals. Set your multimeter to continuity or resistance mode. A working 5200W/240V element shows a resistance reading — typically around 9–12 ohms. No continuity (open circuit) means the coil has burned through. Also test each terminal individually to the metal housing frame — if continuity exists between a terminal and the housing, the element is shorted to ground and must be replaced immediately as a fire hazard.
Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications. It is the exact same heating element installed in compatible older-generation Whirlpool, Kenmore, Roper, and related brand electric dryers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

XPARTCO WE03X29897 Dryer Drum Belt
The XPARTCO WE03X29897 is an aftermarket replacement drum drive belt for GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore dryers. It is a four-rib belt, approximately 89-1/2 inches long, that wraps around the drum, the tension pulley, and the drive motor pulley, so the motor can turn the drum. A worn, stretched, or broken belt can cause noise, a drum that won't turn, or a dryer that won't start.
This is a direct-fit aftermarket replacement for the original GE belt. Because the drum has to be moved to fit a new belt, it is also a good time to inspect the tension pulley, idler, and drum rollers and replace any that look worn.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WE03X29897 Drum Belt fixes a GE, Hotpoint, or Kenmore dryer whose drum won't turn, that makes a noisy thumping or squealing sound, or that won't start because the belt is worn or broken. Classic symptom: the dryer hums or the motor runs, but the drum stays still.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Drum does not turn although the motor runs
Noisy dryer, with thumping or squealing as the drum turns
Dryer won't start
Heat stays on after the drum has stopped
Visibly stretched, cracked, or broken belt

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 internal parts and cabinet edges can be sharp. Remove the top and front panel as shown in your model's service guide, then slide the drum out, which is easier with a second person. Remove the old belt and route the new belt around the drum, the tension pulley, and the motor pulley as the old one ran, then reassemble in reverse order. Check the tension pulley and drum rollers while the drum is out and replace any that are worn.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer runs but the drum won't turn. Is this the part I need?
That is the classic sign of a broken drum belt. If the motor runs and you can turn the drum freely by hand, check the belt first.
How long is this belt?
It is approximately 89-1/2 inches long, with four ribs. Small differences are normal, but if your old belt is a very different length, check your model number before ordering.
Should I replace anything else while the drum is out?
Inspect the tension pulley and the drum rollers or glides. These wear along with the belt, and they are much easier to replace now than later.
Will this fit my dryer?
It is listed for hundreds of 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 3406107 Dryer Door Switch Replaces WP3406107
The XPARTCO 3406107 is an aftermarket replacement door switch for Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, and KitchenAid dryers. Mounted inside the upper corner of the front panel, this safety switch has a spring-loaded black tab that gets pressed in when the door closes. That contact tells the control board the door is shut, which is required before the dryer will start, and it also powers the interior drum light. Over time the switch's internal contacts wear out or the tab loses spring tension, and the dryer either won't start at all or runs with the door open — a safety condition the switch is specifically designed to prevent.
This is a three-wire SPDT (single pole, double throw) switch built to the same dimensions and mounting points as the original, and it's designed to remain compatible with older two-wire harnesses as well. Direct-fit aftermarket replacement, no wiring modifications needed.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 3406107 Dryer Door Switch fixes a dryer that won't start, runs with the door open, or has a dead interior light. Direct-fit replacement for OEM WP3406107. Classic symptom: pressing start does nothing until you push and hold the door shut, or the drum light never comes on.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer won't start even though the door is closed
Dryer runs with the door open (safety switch failure)
Interior drum light doesn't turn on
Door doesn't seem to latch or seal properly against the switch tab
Drum doesn't spin, or cycle stops intermittently
Touchpad or start button appears unresponsive
Cross Reference Information

This switch design was updated to a three-wire configuration at some point in its production history (superseding older 3405100/3405101/3406100/3406101 numbers), but the current three-wire version remains compatible with older two-wire harnesses, so it's a safe direct replacement across all of these part numbers.
Compatibility
This door switch is compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, and KitchenAid dryers, including units across the:
Whirlpool/Kenmore Series 60, 70, 80, 90, 500, 600, 700, and 800 dryer lines
AED4475TQ1, MEDC400VW0, and numerous additional model numbers
Note: This switch has been used across a very wide range of Whirlpool-built dryers (including Kenmore, Maytag, and KitchenAid badged units) spanning many production years, so the list above is only a sample.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Power Before Installing Unplug the dryer or switch off its circuit breaker before beginning. The switch is mounted inside the upper corner of the front panel, so you'll need to remove the front panel or top panel per your model's service guide to access it. Disconnect the wire connector from the old switch, then remove the mounting screw(s) holding it in place. Install the new switch in the same position, reconnect the wire connector, and reinstall the panel. Before closing everything up, you can test the switch by pressing the black tab — you should feel spring resistance and hear or feel a distinct click. Restore power and confirm the dryer starts normally with the door closed and stops when the door is opened.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer won't start — is this the part I need?
This is one of the most common causes of a dryer that won't start even with the door closed. Try pressing the black tab on the switch by hand — if it feels loose, doesn't click, or offers no resistance, the switch has likely failed and needs replacement.
My dryer runs even with the door open — is that dangerous?
Yes, this indicates the door safety switch has failed in a way that no longer prevents operation with the door open, which is a safety hazard. Replace the switch promptly and avoid running the dryer with the door open in the meantime.
My dryer has a two-wire connector — will this three-wire switch still work?
Yes. This switch was redesigned to a three-wire configuration but remains compatible with older two-wire wiring harnesses, so it's a safe direct replacement regardless of which wire configuration your dryer currently has.
Does this switch also control the interior light?
Yes. This switch serves a dual function — it's the safety interlock that permits the dryer to run only with the door closed, and it also powers the interior drum light when the door is open.

W11025156 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer Heating Element
The W11025156 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM heating element for Whirlpool, Kenmore, and Maytag electric dryers. This element is the source of virtually all the heat in the dryer: it converts electrical energy into heat, which the blower then circulates through the drum to dry your clothes. Even heat distribution from a properly functioning element is what keeps drying times consistent and prevents the dryer from having to run longer cycles to compensate.
Over years of use, the coil typically fails with a visible break somewhere along its length — a section simply burns through and the circuit opens, cutting off heat entirely. Symptoms of a failing element include clothes taking too long to dry, clothes coming out cold, or the dryer not heating at all. This part is also essential for preventing overheating, since a properly functioning element operates within its designed parameters rather than drawing excess current trying to compensate for a partial failure. It directly replaces W10608823.
Quick Answer
The W11025156 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer Heating Element fixes Whirlpool, Kenmore, and Maytag electric dryers with no heat, insufficient heat, or drying times that have gotten noticeably longer. Replaces W10608823. Before replacing, clean out or inspect your exhaust venting — restricted airflow is a common cause of premature heating element failure, and a fresh element installed into a clogged system is likely to fail again.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer runs a full cycle but produces no heat at all
Dryer produces some heat, but not enough to dry clothes properly
Drying times that have gotten noticeably longer than they used to
Clothes coming out cold or barely warm at the end of a cycle
Visible break or burned-through section in the heating coil
Dryer not drying laundry despite completing a normal cycle

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Clean The Vent While You Have The Panel Open Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Access is typically through the back panel: a 1/4" ratchet with a 5/16" socket handles most of the screws, and using a socket adapter on a screw gun can speed up removing and reinstalling the panel, since there are several screws to deal with. With the panel off, locate the heating element in the duct housing. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the wire terminals from the old element, remove the mounting screws or clips holding it in the duct housing, and pull it free. Install the new W11025156 in the same position, reconnect the wire terminals, and secure the mounting hardware. While the dryer is open, this is a good time to fully clean the exhaust vent ducting from the lint trap to the outside vent hood — restricted airflow is a major cause of heating element failure, and a fresh element installed into a clogged system will likely fail again prematurely. Reassemble the panel, restore power, and run a test cycle to confirm the dryer is heating normally. Tools needed: 1/4" ratchet, 5/16" socket, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer runs a full cycle but the clothes are still wet. Is this the heating element?
It's a strong possibility, especially if you've noticed drying times gradually getting longer before the dryer stopped heating altogether. One customer described exactly this symptom — "dryer not drying laundry" — and resolved it with this exact replacement element.
Do I need any special tools for this repair?
Just basic hand tools. A 1/4" ratchet with a 5/16" socket handles the back panel screws on most models. Using a socket adapter on a screw gun can speed up the process, since there are several screws to remove and reinstall on the back panel alone.
Why does the listing recommend cleaning the vent during this repair?
Restricted airflow from a lint-clogged exhaust duct is one of the most common root causes of heating element failure — when air can't move through the system properly, heat builds up around the element well beyond its designed operating range, accelerating wear and often leading directly to a burned-through coil. Since you'll already have the dryer open for this repair, cleaning the full duct run from the lint trap to the outside vent hood is a good use of the same trip and helps the new element last.
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 coil design and electrical rating of the heating element originally installed in your dryer.
