12638200000241 Genuine OEM Midea Dryer Drum Belt
The 12638200000241 is a Genuine OEM Midea replacement dryer drum belt compatible with a wide range of Midea, Criterion, and Insignia electric and gas dryers, including the MLE41/45/47/52, MLG45/52, MLTE37, CDE41, CDG41/45, CLADE67, and MDD160 series. The drum belt wraps around the dryer drum and the motor pulley, transferring the motor's rotation to spin the drum during the drying cycle. When the belt breaks, stretches, or wears out, the motor continues to run but the drum no longer spins — clothes sit still in the drum while the motor hums, and the dryer cannot complete a normal cycle.
As a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Midea to factory specifications, the 12638200000241 is constructed from durable black rubber. Packaged dimensions are approximately 11" L x 3" W x 2" H. Note: if the drum belt has failed, this is also a good opportunity to inspect the drum support rollers (Midea 12638000004021) and the idler/tensioner pulley assembly while the dryer cabinet is open — these components wear together and a failing roller or pulley can accelerate belt wear. Installs in 45–60 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 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. Disconnect the door switch harness and remove the front panel to access the drum, drive belt, and motor/idler pulley assembly. Take a photo of the existing belt routing before removing anything — this is essential for correct reassembly. Release the old belt from the idler pulley and slide it off the drum and motor pulley. Carefully lift the drum out and inspect the drum support rollers and idler pulley for wear — replace them now if needed while the dryer is open. Wrap the new 12638200000241 belt around the drum (ribbed side against the drum). Reinstall the drum, then route the belt around the motor pulley and under the idler pulley, allowing the idler to tension the belt. Reassemble the front panel and top panel in reverse order. Restore power (and gas, for gas models) and run a test cycle to confirm smooth, quiet drum rotation. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if the drum belt has failed?
The clearest sign of a broken drum belt is a dryer where the motor starts and runs normally, but the drum does not spin — you'll hear the motor humming with no drum movement. If you open the door mid-cycle and the drum spins freely with no resistance (as if disconnected from the motor), the belt has either broken or slipped off completely. A stretched or worn belt that still drives the drum may also produce squealing or burning rubber smells from slippage on the motor pulley. Visually inspecting the belt after removing the dryer's front panel confirms the condition.
Should I replace the drum rollers and idler pulley at the same time?
Yes — since the dryer cabinet must already be opened and the drum removed to replace the belt, this is the ideal time to also inspect and replace the drum support rollers (Midea 12638000004021) and the idler/tensioner pulley. All three components form the drum drive system and tend to wear together. A worn roller or pulley is often what caused the belt to fail prematurely in the first place. Addressing them together in a single repair eliminates the most common drum drive failure points and prevents a near-term repeat teardown.
Does this belt fit Insignia and Criterion dryers as well as Midea?
Yes — Insignia (Best Buy) and Criterion (Sears/Kmart) are house brands whose dryers in this size class are manufactured by Midea and use the same internal components, including this drum belt. Confirmed compatible models include Insignia NSDRE67WH8A, NSFDRE67WH8A, NSFDRE77WH8B, NSTDRE67W1, NSTDRE75W1 (electric) and NSFDRG67WH8A, NSTDRG67W1, NSTDRG75W1 (gas), plus Criterion CDE41N1AW (electric) and CDG41N1AW/CDG45N1AW (gas). Always verify your specific model number before ordering.
Which way does the belt go around the drum — ribbed side in or out?
On the drum belt, the ribbed (grooved) side should face inward, against the drum surface, while the smooth side faces outward. The ribs grip the smooth drum surface to drive it as the motor pulley turns. On the motor pulley side, the belt seats in the grooves of the small motor pulley. Take a photo of how the original belt was routed before removing it — this is the most reliable way to confirm correct orientation during reinstallation.
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 drum belt installed in compatible Midea, Criterion, and Insignia electric and gas dryers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

XPARTCO 6931EL3001F Dryer Hi-Limit Thermostat
The XPARTCO 6931EL3001F is an aftermarket replacement dryer rear hi-limit heater thermostat compatible with select LG and Kenmore electric and gas dryers. The hi-limit thermostat is a safety switch mounted on the heater housing that monitors the temperature at the heating element. If the heater temperature exceeds the safe operating limit, the thermostat opens its contacts to cut power to the heating element, protecting the dryer and its contents from overheating. When cooled, the thermostat resets automatically — but if it fails internally, it may remain open permanently, causing the dryer to produce no heat despite the thermal fuse and other components being intact.
Rated L125-31C, 250V, 25A, this 3-terminal thermostat measures 2"L x 1-3/4"W x 1-1/4"H with approximately 1-5/8" between mounting holes (center to center). It is constructed from metal and plastic in gray/black and mounts directly on the heater housing. It directly replaces 1377779, AP5072172, AH3530482, EA3530482, EAP3530482, PS3530482, and PD00023316. Often replaced together with the 6931EL3003D thermal fuse — both mount on the heater housing and work as a system to protect the dryer from overheating. Installs in 15–20 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 6931EL3001F Dryer Hi-Limit Thermostat fixes LG and Kenmore dryers with no heat where the thermostat has failed open. Rated L125-31C, 250V/25A, 3 terminals. 2"L x 1-3/4"W x 1-1/4"H, ~1-5/8" between mounting holes. Mounts on heater housing. Test with multimeter — should show closed continuity at room temperature.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer and Shut Off Gas Before Starting Disconnect power (and shut off gas for gas dryers) before beginning. Remove the back panel of the dryer by unscrewing the perimeter screws to access the heater housing. The 6931EL3001F thermostat is mounted on the heater housing — it is the 3-terminal component with gray/black housing. Before removing it, test it with a multimeter: disconnect the wires and probe the terminals. At room temperature a working thermostat shows closed continuity. An open reading confirms failure. Photograph the 3-wire connections before disconnecting — reconnecting in the correct positions is important. Remove the 2 mounting screws and lift the old thermostat off. Install the new thermostat in the same position with the 2 mounting screws and reconnect the wires in the same positions. While the heater housing is accessible, also test and replace the 6931EL3003D thermal fuse if needed. Reinstall the back panel, restore power, and run a test heat cycle. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, multimeter.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the 6931EL3001F thermostat and the 6931EL3003D thermal fuse?
Both are mounted on the heater housing and protect the dryer from overheating, but they work differently. The 6931EL3001F is a resettable hi-limit thermostat rated L125-31C — it opens when the heater temperature gets too high and resets automatically when cooled. The 6931EL3003D is a one-time thermal fuse that permanently interrupts the circuit if the temperature exceeds its rated limit — once blown, it cannot reset and must be replaced. Both should show closed continuity at room temperature when working. Because both are on the heater housing and experience the same thermal stress, replacing both at the same time is recommended.
How do I test the 6931EL3001F thermostat with a multimeter?
Unplug the dryer and disconnect all three wires from the thermostat terminals. Set your multimeter to continuity or resistance mode. At room temperature, a working 6931EL3001F thermostat should show closed continuity (near-zero resistance) across its contacts. If your multimeter reads open circuit (no continuity / OL), the thermostat has failed and needs replacement. Since this thermostat auto-resets when cooled, always test at room temperature — testing while the dryer is still warm may give a false open reading if the thermostat has legitimately opened due to heat.
My LG dryer has no heat but the thermal fuse is good — could it be the thermostat?
Yes — when the thermal fuse tests good but there is still no heat, the hi-limit thermostat (6931EL3001F) is the next most common culprit. A thermostat that has failed internally may remain permanently open even at room temperature, cutting power to the heating element exactly as a blown thermal fuse would. Test the thermostat with a multimeter for continuity. Also check the cycling thermostat (6931EL3002M) and the thermistor (6323EL2001B) — all three are part of the LG dryer thermal control system and any one of them can cause a no-heat condition.
What does the "L125-31C" rating mean?
The L125-31C rating describes the thermostat's operating parameters. L125 means the thermostat opens (trips) when the temperature reaches approximately 125°C (257°F). The 31 indicates the reset differential — the thermostat resets when the temperature drops approximately 31°C below the trip point, around 94°C (201°F). This rating ensures the thermostat allows the heater to operate at normal drying temperatures while protecting against dangerous overheating.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine LG OEM part, but is manufactured from metal and plastic to match the L125-31C rating, dimensions, and 3-terminal configuration of the original 6931EL3001F hi-limit heater thermostat.

XPARTCO W10849499 Dryer Drum Belt
The XPARTCO W10849499 is an aftermarket replacement drum belt for Whirlpool's large-capacity dryer platform. The belt wraps all the way around the outside of the drum, passes around the idler tension pulley, and loops around the drive motor pulley — that belt is the only mechanical connection between the motor and the drum, so when it breaks, the console still lights up, the motor still hums, and the blower still moves air, but the drum sits completely still. Open the door and spin the drum by hand and it will turn freely with no resistance.
This belt measures approximately 97.75 inches long. Belts fail from age and heat: the rubber hardens over years of thermal cycling, the ribs glaze over and begin slipping under a heavy wet load, and eventually the belt cracks through or snaps outright. A worn or seized idler pulley is also a common root cause of premature belt failure, since a pulley that won't turn freely forces the belt to drag continuously against a stationary surface until it shreds. Squealing or chirping at startup, a rhythmic thump timed to drum rotation, fraying at the edges, or black rubber dust in the cabinet are all signs a belt is near the end of its life. As an aftermarket replacement, the W10849499 is built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It directly replaces AP5989682, 4383705, PS11731121, and W10610882.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO W10849499 Dryer Drum Belt fixes Whirlpool large-capacity dryers where the motor runs but the drum won't turn, the drum spins freely by hand, or the dryer squeals, chirps, or thumps during operation. Approximately 97.75" long. Replaces AP5989682, 4383705, PS11731121, W10610882. If your belt broke due to a worn idler pulley rather than simple age, replace the pulley (PS334244) at the same time or the new belt will wear out quickly too.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer runs and hums but the drum does not turn — the classic broken belt symptom
Drum spins freely by hand with no resistance when the door is open
Loud squealing, chirping, or scraping noise from inside the dryer
Rhythmic thumping or slapping noise timed to drum rotation — cracked or split belt
Drum turns slowly, intermittently, or stalls under a heavy wet load — glazed belt slipping
Clothes not drying completely, or drying taking longer than it used to
Broken belt pieces or fragments found inside the drum
Visible cracking, fraying, glazing, or stretching on the old belt

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — A Second Person Helps Support The Drum Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. On a gas model, also close the gas shutoff valve before moving the cabinet. Wear work gloves — sheet metal edges inside the cabinet are sharp. On many large-capacity models, both the front and rear panels need to come off to fully access the belt and drum, so budget extra time compared to a simpler platform. Photograph how the old belt routes around the drum, the idler pulley, and the motor pulley before removing anything. Loosen and remove the motor mount or bracket as needed to slip the old belt free, and check the idler pulley by spinning it with your fingers — if it's stiff, gritty, or doesn't spin freely, replace it at the same time, since a worn pulley is a common cause of premature belt failure and will shorten the life of the new belt. With the front panel off, the drum may need to be supported by hand as it comes free — having a second person hold the drum steady makes this significantly easier and reduces the risk of scratching the drum or dropping it. Vacuum out accumulated lint while the cabinet is open. Place the new belt around the drum, seat it in the polished wear track left by the old belt, then route it around the idler pulley and around the motor pulley. Reinstall the motor mount, rotate the drum by hand to confirm the belt tracks straight and stays centered, then reassemble the front and rear panels. Restore power and run a short empty cycle listening for squeal or thump before loading it. Tools needed: nut driver or bit driver, open-end wrench, Phillips screwdriver, work gloves, and ideally a second person to support the drum.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I confirm the belt is broken and not the motor?
With the dryer unplugged, open the door and try to spin the drum by hand. An intact belt gives firm resistance, because you're turning the motor and idler through the belt. If the drum coasts freely like a bicycle wheel, the belt is broken or has jumped off its pulleys. Sound is the other tell: with a broken belt the motor hums and the blower whooshes normally, so the dryer sounds like it's running perfectly while the drum sits still.
My belt broke and I noticed the idler pulley felt stiff. Do I need to replace that too?
Yes, strongly consider it. A worn or seized idler pulley is a well-documented cause of belt failure — if the pulley can't spin freely, it drags against the belt continuously instead of rolling with it, which wears through even a brand-new belt quickly. If your old belt broke and the pulley feels stiff, gritty, or doesn't spin smoothly when you turn it by hand, replace the idler pulley (part PS334244) along with the belt to avoid repeating this repair soon.
Is this the same length as your other Whirlpool dryer belt listings?
Not necessarily — Whirlpool uses different belt lengths across different dryer platforms even when the rib profile looks similar. This belt is approximately 97.75" long, which is specific to the large-capacity platform it's designed for. Always check your model number or measure your old belt's total length before ordering, since a belt of the wrong length will not seat and tension correctly.
Why does replacing this belt need two people?
On this large-capacity platform, accessing the belt often means removing the front panel and freeing the drum, which is heavy and can be awkward to support single-handedly while also working with your other hand. A second person holding the drum steady while you route the new belt reduces the risk of the drum shifting, scratching the finish, or being dropped. It's not strictly required, but it makes the job considerably easier.
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 approximately 97.75" length and rib profile of the original W10849499 / W10610882 belt used in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, and related large-capacity dryers.

WE01X36920 Genuine OEM GE Dryer Cycle Selector Control Knob
The WE01X36920 is a genuine GE OEM cycle selector control knob for GE dryers. This is the knob you turn to choose a drying cycle — it engages the splined shaft behind the control console, and its position tells the dryer's control which cycle you've selected. It's a simple part mechanically, but it's also the single point of contact between you and the dryer's cycle selection, so when it fails, you lose the ability to reliably choose or confirm a cycle at all.
Made of durable plastic with a textured grip surface and accurate position indexing so the pointer lines up correctly with each cycle marking on the console. Over years of daily use, the knob's internal splines can wear down or strip, causing it to spin freely on the shaft without turning the selector, or the knob itself can crack, chip, or simply go missing. A worn or damaged knob typically shows up as difficulty turning the dial, a knob that spins without changing the cycle, or an inability to select a cycle at all. It directly replaces AP7243851.
Quick Answer
The WE01X36920 Genuine OEM GE Dryer Cycle Selector Control Knob fixes GE dryers where the cycle selector knob is cracked, missing, spins without engaging the shaft, or won't turn smoothly. Direct push-fit onto the selector shaft. Replaces AP7243851. Some models also use a separate options selector knob, WE01X36921, sold separately — check whether your dryer has one before ordering just this cycle knob.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Cycle selector knob spins freely without changing the selected cycle
Knob is difficult to turn, feels loose, or grinds when rotated
Visible cracks, chips, or breakage on the knob itself
Knob is missing entirely, making cycle selection impossible
Cycle indicator doesn't line up correctly with the selected setting
Knob has fallen off the shaft and won't stay seated

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Pull the old selector knob straight off the shaft — on most models this requires no tools, just firm, even pressure. If the knob doesn't pull free easily, check for a small retaining clip or screw at the base of the knob on some models, and remove that first rather than forcing it. Align the new WE01X36920 knob with the splined shaft, matching the flat or notched side of the shaft to the corresponding feature inside the knob, and push it firmly onto the shaft until it seats fully flush against the console. If the knob doesn't seat easily, stop and inspect the shaft splines and the knob's internal fitting for damage before forcing it further. Restore power and test that the knob turns smoothly and the cycle indicator lines up correctly with each setting. Tools needed: none for most models; small flat-blade screwdriver if your model uses a retaining clip.
Frequently Asked Questions
My knob spins freely but doesn't change the cycle. Is this the part I need?
Yes, this is the classic symptom of a worn or stripped knob. Over years of turning, the internal splines that grip the control shaft can wear down until the knob spins independently of the shaft instead of turning it. Replacing the knob restores that positive connection so the cycle selection actually changes when you turn it.
Do I need to remove the control console to replace this knob?
Not usually. On most models, the knob simply pulls straight off the shaft and the new one pushes straight on — no console removal or tools required. A small number of models secure the knob with a retaining clip or screw at its base, so check for that before pulling if the knob seems unusually secure.
My dryer has more than one knob. Which one is this?
This WE01X36920 is specifically the cycle selector knob — the one you use to choose the drying cycle itself. Some of the same dryers also have a separate options selector knob (WE01X36921) for adjusting settings like heat level, sold as a different part. If more than one knob on your dryer needs replacing, you'll need to order each part separately.
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 spline fit, position indexing, and grip design of the cycle selector knob originally installed on your dryer.
