XPARTCO 4349 Door Latch Kit for Air Cleaner (4-Pack) Replaces Aprilaire 4349
The XPARTCO 4349 is an aftermarket replacement door latch kit compatible with Aprilaire Model 2200 and Model 2400 whole-house media air cleaners. Each cabinet uses a set of spring-loaded latches to hold the access door securely against the cabinet, keeping the seal tight so unfiltered air can't bypass the media filter. Over time these plastic latches crack, snap, or lose their spring tension from repeated opening and closing during filter changes, causing the door to sit loose, rattle, or fail to seal properly against the cabinet gasket.
This kit includes 4 latches — enough to replace every latch on one cabinet door in a single order — manufactured to match the fit and mounting points of the original Aprilaire "new style door" latch design. The genuine Aprilaire 4349 was discontinued by the manufacturer in January 2022; this XPARTCO version is an aftermarket-manufactured equivalent built to keep these still-common air cleaner cabinets in service. Installs in under 10 minutes with no tools required.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 4349 Door Latch Kit fixes Aprilaire Model 2200 and Model 2400 whole-house air cleaners with a loose, rattling, or poorly sealing access door caused by cracked or worn-out latches. 4-pack — enough for a full door. Designed for the Aprilaire "new style door." No tools required for installation. The genuine Aprilaire 4349 is discontinued; this is an aftermarket-manufactured equivalent. Classic symptom: door won't stay shut, or air smell/bypass around the cabinet edge.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Air cleaner access door won't stay closed or pops open on its own
Door rattles or feels loose against the cabinet
Visible cracked, broken, or missing latch tabs on the door
Poor door seal allowing unfiltered air to bypass the media filter
Musty or dusty smell around the cabinet edge from an incomplete seal
Difficulty keeping the door aligned during filter changes

XPARTCO WE1M1002 Dryer Fuse, 30 AMP 120V
The XPARTCO WE1M1002 is an aftermarket replacement power fuse for GE and Hotpoint dryers, commonly used on GE's commercial and stacked laundry center dryer models. This is a CCMR-class fuse — a current-limiting, fast-acting power fuse — and it plays a fundamentally different protective role than a thermal cut-off fuse. Rather than reacting to excess heat from restricted airflow, this fuse reacts to electrical faults: if the dryer experiences a short circuit or a current overload beyond what the wiring is rated to handle, this fuse opens the circuit immediately to prevent damage to the dryer's electrical components.
Rated 30A, 120V, measuring approximately 3/8"H x 3/8"W x 1-1/2"D. Because this fuse protects against electrical faults rather than heat buildup, a blown WE1M1002 points toward a different diagnostic path than a thermal fuse would: rather than checking the exhaust venting, the more relevant checks are the dryer's wiring, connections, and any component that may have shorted internally. A blown fuse produces a complete loss of power to the dryer — no lights, no display, no response to any control. It directly replaces WE01M1002, 1974262, AP5270172, PS3496852, and EAP3496852.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WE1M1002 Dryer Fuse fixes GE and Hotpoint dryers, including commercial and stacked laundry center models, that have completely lost power — no lights, no display, no response to any control. CCMR-class, 30A, 120V. Replaces WE01M1002, 1974262, AP5270172, PS3496852, EAP3496852. This is a power/overcurrent fuse, not a thermal cut-off fuse — if it's blown, check the dryer's wiring and electrical connections for a short or fault rather than the exhaust venting.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer has completely lost power — no lights, no display, no response to any control
Dryer that stopped working suddenly, especially after an electrical fault or short
Dryer that trips repeatedly after a wiring or component issue elsewhere in the unit
Continuity test shows an open circuit across the old fuse
Complete electrical dead-out on a commercial or stacked laundry center dryer

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Investigate The Cause Of The Short Before Replacing Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Locate the fuse holder inside the dryer's electrical panel or control housing — access varies by model, so consult your unit's service diagram. Before removing the old fuse, visually inspect nearby wiring and connections for signs of a short, such as scorching, melted insulation, or a loose connection, since this fuse type responds to electrical faults rather than heat buildup from airflow issues. Test the old fuse with a multimeter to confirm it's open (no continuity) before assuming it needs replacement. Remove the old fuse from its holder and install the new WE1M1002 in the same position, making sure it seats fully and securely. Restore power and test the dryer to confirm normal operation. If the new fuse blows again shortly after installation, stop and have a qualified technician diagnose the underlying electrical fault before continuing, since repeatedly replacing this fuse without addressing the root cause can be a sign of a more serious wiring or component issue. Tools needed: fuse puller or needle-nose pliers, multimeter, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from a thermal cut-off fuse?
They protect against completely different problems. A thermal cut-off fuse reacts to excess heat, usually from restricted exhaust airflow, and its diagnosis typically starts with checking the venting. This WE1M1002 is a CCMR-class power fuse that reacts to electrical faults — a short circuit or current overload — and its diagnosis should focus on the dryer's wiring and electrical connections rather than the exhaust system.
My dryer has completely no power at all. Is this the fuse?
It's a strong possibility, especially if this occurred suddenly or followed any unusual electrical event. Since this fuse protects the dryer's power circuit broadly, a blown fuse can result in a total loss of power — no lights, no display, nothing. Test it with a multimeter for continuity before replacing to confirm.
I replaced the fuse and it blew again right away. What should I do?
This is a sign that the underlying electrical fault that blew the original fuse hasn't been addressed. Unlike a thermal fuse blowing from airflow restriction, a repeat blow on this type of fuse points to an ongoing short circuit or wiring problem elsewhere in the dryer. Stop and have a qualified technician trace and repair the fault rather than continuing to replace fuses, since the underlying issue could pose a safety risk if left unresolved.
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 to match the electrical rating and fuse class of the original WE1M1002 power fuse used in compatible GE, Hotpoint, and RCA dryers.

XPARTCO WB13K10003 Surface Burner Spark Electrode
The XPARTCO WB13K10003 is an aftermarket replacement spark electrode for the surface burners on GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore gas ranges. The electrode is the small ceramic-tipped component mounted at the burner head that actually creates the spark: when you turn the burner knob, the range's spark module sends a rapid series of high-voltage electrical pulses to the electrode, which arcs across a small gap to the metal burner cap. That spark ignites the gas flowing from the burner, and the clicking sound you hear while the knob is turned is literally the sound of that spark firing over and over until the burner catches.
Because the electrode's ceramic insulator is what keeps that high-voltage pulse contained to a precise spark path, even small damage matters: a hairline crack in the ceramic can let voltage leak to ground instead of arcing at the tip, carbon and grease buildup on the tip can insulate it just enough to weaken the spark, and the metal tip itself can corrode or erode after years of sparking. A failing electrode typically shows up as a burner that clicks normally but is slow to catch, catches with a small "whoof" as gas builds up before ignition, or doesn't spark at all while the other burners on the same range work fine. It directly replaces AP2020574, 244911, AH231266, EA231266, and PS231266. GE's internal part number for this electrode is WG02F05048.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WB13K10003 Surface Burner Spark Electrode fixes GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore gas ranges where a specific burner clicks but won't light, sparks weakly or intermittently, or ignites with a delayed "whoof" instead of catching right away. Ceramic-tipped spark electrode for the surface burner. Replaces AP2020574, 244911, AH231266, EA231266, PS231266. If a burner doesn't click at all, the problem is more likely the spark module or igniter switch — not this electrode.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
A specific surface burner clicks but won't ignite, while other burners work fine
Burner sparks weakly, intermittently, or only from certain knob positions
Delayed ignition — a noticeable pause with gas smell before the burner catches with a "whoof"
Clicking sound that continues well after the burner has already lit
Visible carbon buildup, grease, or discoloration on the electrode tip
Cracked, chipped, or damaged ceramic insulator visible at the base of the electrode
Electrode tip that looks corroded, pitted, or eroded compared to a new one
No spark at all from one specific burner position

Installation Notes
⚠️ Danger — Gas Appliance Turn off the gas supply to the range at the shutoff valve and unplug the range (or shut off its circuit breaker) before beginning any work near the burners or gas line. After reassembly, check every disturbed connection for leaks using a soapy water solution — bubbling indicates a leak. If you ever smell gas at any point during this repair, do not attempt to light the range or operate any switches; leave the area immediately and contact your gas utility or a qualified technician.
⚠️ Handle The Ceramic Insulator Carefully Wear work gloves. Remove the burner grate and burner cap from the affected position to access the electrode underneath. Photograph the electrode's mounting position and wire connection before removing anything. Most electrodes are held in place with a single screw and connect to the spark module via a simple push-on wire terminal — disconnect the wire first, then remove the mounting screw and lift the old electrode free. The ceramic insulator is more fragile than it looks; avoid gripping or prying on it directly, and handle it by the mounting bracket instead. Install the new WB13K10003 in the same position and orientation, making sure the tip sits at the correct gap and angle relative to the burner cap — too far and the spark won't reach the gas port, too close and it can short against the burner base. Reconnect the wire terminal, secure the mounting screw, and reinstall the burner cap and grate. Restore the gas supply and power, then test ignition at that burner position and check for leaks at any connection you touched before considering the job complete. Tools needed: Phillips or flat-blade screwdriver (model-dependent), soapy water for leak testing, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My burner doesn't click at all when I turn the knob. Is this the right part?
Probably not, at least not by itself. If a burner produces no clicking sound whatsoever, the issue is more likely the spark module (the component that generates the high-voltage pulses) or the igniter switch behind the knob, rather than the electrode itself — an electrode can't spark if it's never receiving a pulse in the first place. This electrode is the right fix when you hear clicking at that burner position but it fails to ignite, sparks weakly, or ignites with a delay.
The burner lights but with a small "whoof" and a delay. Is that dangerous?
A delayed ignition means gas is flowing and accumulating for a moment before the spark finally catches it, which is exactly the kind of small buildup that produces that "whoof" sound and flare. It's not something to ignore — a weak or intermittent electrode is the common cause, and replacing it restores immediate, reliable ignition. If delayed ignition continues after replacing the electrode, have the burner and gas supply checked by a qualified technician rather than continuing to use it.
Can I clean the electrode instead of replacing it?
Light cleaning can sometimes help if the tip is coated in grease or food residue — gently wiping the ceramic and metal tip with a dry cloth or a small amount of rubbing alcohol may restore a weak spark caused purely by surface buildup. But if you see a cracked or chipped ceramic insulator, a visibly eroded or pitted tip, or the spark still fails after cleaning, the electrode itself has degraded and cleaning won't fix that — replacement is the correct next step.
One burner sparks weakly but the others are fine. Does that rule out the spark module?
Yes, generally. The spark module typically drives all the surface burner electrodes from the same unit, so if only one position is affected while the rest spark normally, the shared module is very unlikely to be the cause — the problem is isolated to that one electrode (or its individual wire connection). If every burner is weak or unreliable at the same time, that points toward the spark module instead.
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 to match the ceramic insulator design, tip geometry, mounting bracket, and wire connector of the original WB13K10003 electrode used in compatible GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore gas ranges.

XPARTCO EXP480 Microwave Door Switch (NC - NO) Normally Closed / Open
The XPARTCO EXP480 is a universal replacement 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 combines both a normally closed (NC) and normally open (NO) contact set in a single body, matching the dual-contact design used across a wide range of microwave door latch mechanisms.
Rated 16A maximum current, 250VAC maximum voltage, with an IP40 protection rating. Over time, these switch contacts can wear, pit, or fuse together from repeated cycling and the electrical load they carry 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 in less common but more serious cases, a switch that has fused shut and continues carrying current even when it shouldn't. It directly replaces 28QBP0496, W10211972, 4375346, W10330566, WPW10330566, 1472224, 4393442, 4393498, 4393570, 4393697, 4393881, 461967848881, 8206345, W10131248, W10217468, AH2338920, EA2338920, AP4357880, PS2338920, KW3A-16Z0-A200-76, W10727360, W10269457, 3379124, AP5950105, and PS10057151.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO EXP480 Microwave Door Switch (NC - NO) fixes microwave ovens and microwave/oven combos that won't start, won't heat, or have a door latch mechanism that isn't reliably cutting power when the door opens. 16A, 250VAC, combined NC/NO contact design. Replaces 28QBP0496, W10211972, 4375346, W10330566, WPW10330566, 1472224, 4393442, 4393498, 4393570, 4393697, 4393881, 461967848881, 8206345, W10131248, W10217468, AH2338920, EA2338920, AP4357880, PS2338920, KW3A-16Z0-A200-76, W10727360, W10269457, 3379124, AP5950105, PS10057151. 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

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 EXP480 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.
My microwave trips the breaker whenever I open the door. What does that mean?
This can indicate that one of the door switches — often the one that should open when the door opens — 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.
My microwave uses more than one door switch. How do I know which one to replace?
Most microwaves use two or three separate interlock switches working together, and they don't always share the same contact configuration. Check your appliance's parts diagram or the physical switch you're replacing to confirm it matches this NC/NO combination design before ordering, and always test or verify function with a multimeter if you're uncertain which specific switch has failed.

XPARTCO HS810 Refrigerator 3-in-1 Hard Start Kit 1/12 to 1/5 HP 120V
The XPARTCO XPHS810 is a universal 3-in-1 hard start kit that combines a solid-state starting relay, a start capacitor, and thermal overload protection into a single prewired unit for refrigerator and freezer compressors rated 1/12 to 1/5 HP at 120V (110–125VAC). It's designed as a direct equivalent to the widely used Supco RCO810 and similar kits, giving a struggling compressor extra starting torque to overcome internal friction and gas pressure at startup — commonly used to fix the classic "click-buzz-click" no-start symptom without replacing the entire compressor.
The kit is fully prewired with color-coded leads (typically black = Common, white = Start, red = Run) and mounts directly onto the compressor's terminal pins, with instructions printed on the unit itself. It directly replaces Supco RCO810, URCO810, URC0810, RC0810, RC100, TJ90RCO810, AP4503019, ERP810, ERPU810, HS8, HS810, HS81, PCS810, and Mars 32781. Installs in 15–30 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO HS810 3-in-1 Hard Start Kit fixes refrigerators and freezers whose compressor makes a repeated "click-buzz-click" sound and fails to start, or that shut off on thermal overload during startup. Combines relay, start capacitor, and overload protector in one prewired unit for 1/12 to 1/5 HP compressors, 120V, 3.5A RLA. Replaces Supco RCO810, URCO810, RC0810, RC100, TJ90RCO810, AP4503019, ERP810, HS8, HS810, HS81, PCS810, Mars 32781. Do not install on LG linear/inverter compressors — see Installation Notes.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Compressor makes a repeated "click-buzz-click" noise and fails to start
Refrigerator or freezer runs warm because the compressor won't stay running
Compressor hums but doesn't start, then trips off on overload
Refrigerator cycles on and off rapidly without reaching temperature
Older or worn compressor that starts hard, especially after a power outage
⚠ Capacitor Hazard — Read Before Servicing This kit contains a start capacitor, which can store a dangerous electrical charge even after the refrigerator is unplugged. Always disconnect power before servicing, and discharge the capacitor safely (using an insulated-handle resistor tool or by briefly shorting the terminals with an insulated screwdriver) before handling it. Never touch capacitor terminals with bare hands. If you are not comfortable working around stored electrical charge, have this repair performed by a qualified technician.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting — Discharge Capacitor Safely Disconnect power before beginning. Before touching any wiring, check your compressor's data label to confirm it is NOT a linear/inverter/BLDC compressor — this kit is not compatible with those and can damage the inverter board if connected. Access the compressor compartment, typically at the rear or bottom of the unit. Remove the existing relay/overload assembly by gently pulling it straight off the compressor terminal pins — do not force or twist. Use a multimeter to confirm which pins are Common (C), Start (S), and Run (R) if not already labeled. Connect the hard start kit's wires to the matching pins. Wire the kit's main power leads into the refrigerator's supply wiring using wire nuts, following the included diagram. Secure the kit with zip ties or its mounting strap to prevent vibration damage during compressor operation. Restore power and confirm the compressor starts smoothly without repeated clicking. Tools needed: nut driver or screwdriver, digital multimeter, wire nuts, insulated screwdriver (for capacitor discharge).
Frequently Asked Questions
My compressor makes a clicking or buzzing sound and won't start — will this fix it?
A hard start kit resolves this in many cases, especially on older or worn compressors that struggle to overcome internal gas pressure at startup. However, "click-buzz-click" can also indicate a failing compressor winding or a compressor nearing end of life. If the hard start kit doesn't resolve the issue, the compressor itself may need replacement — a hard start kit can extend a marginal compressor's life but can't revive one with failed internal windings.
Can I use this on any refrigerator?
This kit works on standard PSC and RSIR compressors within the 1/12 to 1/5 HP range at 120V. It is NOT compatible with LG linear/inverter compressors or any variable-speed inverter-driven compressor — connecting it to one of those can destroy the inverter control board. Check your compressor's label for "Inverter," "Linear," "BLDC," or "Digital" before ordering.
Do I need to remove my existing start capacitor or relay first?
Yes — remove the old relay/overload assembly from the compressor terminal pins before installing this kit. The XPHS810 is designed to work with or without an existing separate run capacitor remaining in the circuit, but the old start relay and any old start capacitor should be removed and replaced by this kit, not left in place alongside it.
Is this safe to install myself?
Many DIYers install hard start kits successfully, but this repair involves a capacitor that can hold a dangerous electrical charge even after the unit is unplugged, plus correctly identifying compressor terminals. If you're not comfortable working around stored electrical charge or don't have a multimeter to confirm terminal identification, we'd recommend having a qualified technician perform this repair.
