XPARTCO 137221600 Washer Drain Pump
The XPARTCO 137221600 is an aftermarket replacement washer drain pump compatible with a wide range of Frigidaire, Electrolux, Crosley, Gibson, Kelvinator, Kenmore, Tappan, and Westinghouse front-load washers — including popular Affinity series and washer-dryer combo models. The drain pump is mounted at the base of the washer and is responsible for evacuating the wash and rinse water from the tub through the drain hose at the end of each cycle. When the drain pump fails, the washer can't drain — leaving clothes soaking wet, water pooling in the tub, and the wash cycle unable to advance to spin. Common failure symptoms include humming without pumping (blocked or seized impeller), leaks from the pump housing, loud grinding or clicking noises, and complete pump silence when a drain cycle should be running.
Rated 120V AC, 60Hz, 85W, 1.25A. Based on the Askol M65 design, with a firmly attached red flapper to prevent drain backflow into the tub. Constructed from strong, durable plastic to resist cracking and leaking through many years of cycling. Package includes the drain pump, mounting base, and mounting screw. This part directly replaces 137108100, 137151800, 137151800KITK, 131724000, 134051200, 134740500, 134740800, 2754548, ER137108100, TJ137108100, EAP7783938, LP1600, BPX401-72J, AP5684706, and PS7783938. Important: before installing the new pump, clean any lint or debris from the rubber boot, verify the drain hose is clear and properly fastened, and check the pump filter for blockage — installing a new pump on a system with the underlying blockage will not resolve the drainage problem. Installs in 30–60 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer and Shut Off Water Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves — Check for Blockage First Disconnect power at the outlet or breaker and shut off both water supplies at the wall before beginning. Wear work gloves to protect your hands — pump components can have sharp edges. Have towels ready — residual water remains in the pump housing and hoses. Important: before replacing the pump, check for the underlying cause of the drain problem. Inspect the pump filter (accessible on many models via the lower front kick panel), the drain hose for kinks, and the rubber boot at the bottom of the tub for lint, coins, buttons, or other debris — installing a new pump on a system with an unresolved blockage will not fix the drain problem. Remove the appropriate access panel (typically the rear or front lower kick panel — model-dependent) to expose the pump. Photograph the wire harness and hose connections before disconnecting. Disconnect the electrical wire connectors from the pump motor. Squeeze the hose clamps with pliers and slide them back to release the tub-to-pump hose and the pump-to-drain-hose from the pump. Remove the 2 mounting screws holding the pump to its base and lift the old pump out. Clean any residual debris from the rubber boot, hoses, and pump filter area. Install the new 137221600 pump using the included mounting base and screw. Reconnect the hoses with the clamps, orient the red backflow flapper correctly, and reconnect the electrical connectors. Reinstall the access panel, restore water and power, and run a rinse cycle to test drainage and check for leaks at all connections. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, needle-nose pliers, channel-lock pliers, small flathead screwdriver, towel, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer won't drain — is it always the pump?
Not always. Before replacing the pump, check for these common causes: 1) Clogged pump filter — most Frigidaire front-load washers have a filter accessible via the lower front kick panel; coins, buttons, lint, and small items can block it. 2) Kinked or clogged drain hose — inspect the entire drain hose from the pump to the wall standpipe or sink. 3) Blocked rubber boot — small items can get stuck between the tub and the pump inlet. 4) Failed lid lock/door switch — if the washer doesn't detect a locked door, it won't run the drain cycle. If all of these check out and the pump still isn't draining (or is humming without moving water), the pump has failed and this is the correct repair.
What is the E11 error code on my Frigidaire washer?
E11 on Frigidaire and Electrolux front-load washers indicates a drain fault — the control board is not detecting successful drainage within the expected time. Common causes are a failed drain pump, a clogged pump filter, a kinked or clogged drain hose, or debris blocking the impeller. If you've verified the filter and hose are clear but the code persists, replacing the 137221600 drain pump typically resolves it. If the code returns after replacement, check the wire harness between the pump and the control board.
Does the pump come with everything I need for installation?
Yes — the 137221600 (OE) package includes the drain pump itself, a mounting base, and a mounting screw. This is everything you need for the pump replacement itself. However, you should reuse the original hose clamps and hoses from your old pump (they should still be in good condition). If you find that the rubber boot at the base of the tub is cracked, hardened, or torn during the repair, that's a separate part that would need to be ordered — inspect it before completing the reinstallation.
The new pump looks different from my old one — is it the right part?
Very likely, yes. The 137221600 has been through several revisions over its production history — some housings are black, others white or gray, and the exact shape can vary slightly across production runs. As long as the mounting bolt pattern, hose inlet/outlet sizes, and electrical connector are the same, and the specs match (120V, 60Hz, 85W, Askol M65 design), the pump will function identically to your original. During installation, focus on correct orientation and flapper alignment — the flapper (red) must be positioned so it opens outward toward the drain hose direction to prevent backflow.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Frigidaire/Electrolux OEM part, but is manufactured to match the electrical specifications (120V AC, 60Hz, 85W, 1.25A), Askol M65 design, red backflow flapper, dimensions, and drain pump function of the original 137221600 used in compatible Frigidaire, Electrolux, Crosley, Gibson, Kelvinator, Kenmore, Tappan, and Westinghouse front-load washers.

12238200001084 Genuine OEM Midea Dryer Bearing House Assembly (Drum Rear Bearing)
The 12238200001084 is a Genuine OEM Midea replacement bearing house assembly compatible with select Midea, Criterion, and Insignia electric and gas dryers, including the CDE41N1AW series. The bearing house assembly is mounted at the rear of the drum and houses the bearing that the rear drum shaft rotates within, supporting the back of the drum and allowing it to spin smoothly. Unlike front-mounted slide rollers used on some dryer platforms, this Midea design uses a rear bearing housing assembly to carry the load at the back of the drum.
When the bearing house assembly wears out — typically from age, lack of lubrication, or accumulated lint and debris — the drum no longer spins smoothly on its rear support, resulting in grinding, rumbling, or squealing noise, increased drum drag, and in advanced cases, visible wobble or binding of the drum during rotation. As a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Midea to factory specifications, the 12238200001084 is a complete bearing house assembly designed as a direct replacement for the original equipment component. Installs in 45–60 minutes with basic hand tools, as drum removal is required.
Quick Answer
The 12238200001084 Genuine OEM Midea Dryer Bearing House Assembly fixes Midea, Criterion, and Insignia dryers with grinding, rumbling, or squealing noise from the rear of the drum, increased drum drag, or visible drum wobble. Mounted at the rear of the drum — houses the bearing the rear drum shaft rotates within. Genuine OEM. Compatible with Midea CDE41N1AW and related Midea electric dryer platform models. Requires drum removal to access — a more involved repair than a front roller swap.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Loud grinding or rumbling noise from the rear of the drum during the drying cycle
Squealing or squeaking noise as the drum rotates — worn or dry bearing surface
Increased drag or resistance felt when manually rotating the drum by hand
Drum wobbling or binding during rotation — worn bearing no longer providing stable support
Excessive vibration during the drying cycle
Visible wear, cracking, or lint/debris buildup in the bearing house area
Drum scraping against the rear bulkhead due to lost bearing support

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power before beginning. 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. Remove the front panel to access the drum. Take a photo of the belt routing before disconnecting the drive belt from the idler pulley. Carefully lift the drum out of the cabinet and set it aside on a padded surface. Locate the bearing house assembly mounted at the rear bulkhead where the drum's rear shaft was seated. Remove the mounting screws or clips securing the old bearing house assembly and pull it free. Clean any accumulated lint or debris from the mounting area before installing the new part. Install the new 12238200001084 bearing house assembly in the same position and secure the mounting hardware. Reinstall the drum, re-route and reconnect the drive belt, and reassemble the front and top panels. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm the drum rotates smoothly and quietly. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the bearing house assembly do?
The bearing house assembly is mounted at the rear bulkhead of the dryer and houses the bearing that the rear drum shaft rotates within. It supports the back of the drum as it spins, allowing smooth, low-friction rotation throughout the drying cycle. Unlike dryer platforms that use front-mounted slide rollers or felt seals for drum support, this Midea design relies on a dedicated rear bearing housing to carry the structural load at the back of the drum. As the bearing wears, friction increases, leading to noise, drag, and eventually wobble or binding if left unaddressed.
How do I know if the bearing house assembly has failed versus another component?
A grinding, rumbling, or squealing noise specifically tied to drum rotation — rather than the blower motor or idler pulley — and noise that changes pitch as the drum speeds up or slows down often points to the rear bearing. With the dryer unplugged and the drum exposed (front panel removed), try rotating the drum by hand: if you feel noticeable resistance, grinding, or grittiness compared to a smooth, free rotation, the bearing house assembly has likely worn out and needs replacement.
Why does this repair require removing the drum?
The bearing house assembly is mounted at the rear bulkhead behind the drum, supporting the drum's rear shaft from the inside. There is no way to access this component without first removing the front panel and lifting the drum out of the cabinet. This makes it a more involved repair than swapping a front-accessible part like a belt or idler pulley, but it follows the same general dryer disassembly procedure used for accessing other internal drum components.
Should I inspect other components while the drum is out?
Yes — since the drum must already be removed to access the bearing house assembly, this is an excellent opportunity to inspect the drive belt, idler pulley, and any felt seals or gaskets around the drum opening for wear. Components in this drum drive system tend to wear together, and addressing multiple worn parts in a single repair session helps avoid a near-term repeat teardown.
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 bearing house assembly installed in compatible Midea, Criterion, and Insignia electric dryers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

279570 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer Door Catch Kit
The 279570 is a Genuine OEM Whirlpool dryer door catch and strike kit compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool, Kenmore, Roper, Estate, Amana, Crosley, Inglis, KitchenAid, Maytag, and Admiral dryers. The door catch is the spring-clip mechanism on the dryer door that snaps over the door strike to hold the door firmly closed during operation, activating the door switch so the dryer can run. When the catch breaks, wears out, or loses tension, the door will not stay closed, the door switch will not be activated, and the dryer will either not start or will stop mid-cycle. The strike is the corresponding post or tab on the dryer cabinet that the catch engages.
This Genuine OEM kit includes three color-coded door catches of different tensions and two metal door strikes, plus one screw. Because the tension of the catch must match the original, Whirlpool includes three options in the kit — each is color-coded and numbered on the back. Refer to identify which catch is correct for your model. The kit directly replaces a very large list of older cross-reference numbers including 279570VP, 3493, 2003, 8208, 279280, 279337, 696144, 693717, AP3094183, PS334230, and dozens more. Installs in under 15 minutes with a Phillips screwdriver.
Quick Answer

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting Disconnect power before beginning. using the wrong tension catch will result in incorrect door resistance. Open the dryer door and locate the old door catch on the inside of the door panel and the strike on the dryer cabinet opening. To remove the old catch: press the retaining tabs and pull the catch free from its slot, or unscrew the mounting screw. Install the correct new catch into the same position. To replace the strike: remove the old strike (typically held by a single screw) and install the new strike in the same position. Close the dryer door to confirm it latches firmly with a satisfying click. Restore power and run a short test cycle to confirm the door stays closed and the dryer operates normally. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver; needle-nose pliers may help with catch removal on some models.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the kit include three different catches?
Whirlpool used door catches with different spring tensions across its dryer lineup — a lighter catch on some models and a stiffer catch on others. To cover all compatible models in a single kit, Whirlpool includes three catches of different tensions, each color-coded and numbered on the back. It is important to use the correct one — using a catch with too little tension may allow the door to pop open, while a catch with too much tension may make the door difficult to open.
Do I need to replace both the catch and the strike, or just one?
It depends on which component has failed. The catch (the spring-clip on the door) is the more commonly replaced part — it wears out from repeated use faster than the strike. Inspect both: if the catch is cracked or has lost its spring tension, replace the catch. If the strike is bent, cracked, or missing, replace the strike. Since the kit includes both catches and strikes, you have everything needed for a complete repair. When in doubt, replacing both ensures the full latch system is renewed.
My dryer will not start even after replacing the door catch — what else could it be?
If the dryer still will not start after the catch is replaced, the door switch may also need to be tested. The door switch is the electrical component that the door catch activates when the door closes — if the switch itself is failed, replacing the catch alone will not restore function. Test the door switch (3406105 for most Whirlpool-family models) with a multimeter for continuity in both the open and closed positions. If the switch reads open in both positions or closed in both positions, it has failed and needs replacement.
How is the 279570 different from the W11429587 dryer door catch?
The 279570 is the door catch kit for older Whirlpool-family dryers — it includes multiple catches of different tensions and metal strikes because it covers a wide range of older models. The W11429587 is a single snap-in door catch for newer Whirlpool-family dryers (Cabrio and newer platform models). If your dryer is a newer model with a snap-in catch slot rather than a screw-mounted catch and strike, you likely need the W11429587. Verify your model number to confirm which part is correct.
Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM kit manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications. It is the exact same door catch and strike kit supplied by Whirlpool for compatible dryer service repairs — 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.

WR60X31522 GE Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor
The WR60X31522 is a OE replacement evaporator fan motor compatible with select GE, Hotpoint, RCA, and Americana top-mount freezer refrigerators. The evaporator fan motor is located at the back of the freezer compartment and circulates air across the evaporator coils — converting the heat from the air into cool air that's then distributed throughout both the freezer and fresh food sections. Without a properly functioning evaporator fan, the refrigerator can't move cold air where it's needed, causing the fresh food and/or freezer sections to warm up, ice to build up on the coils, and the compressor to run continuously trying to compensate.
This 115V AC motor is rated at 60Hz, 3.3W and uses a 2-pin connector plus ground wire. Dimensions are 3-1/4"L x 2-3/8"W x 3-3/8"H, with a harness and plug extending approximately 3-1/2" from the motor. Construction is plastic and metal in marbled white & gray. Note: this listing is for the motor with harness only — the fan blade may need to be transferred from the old motor. It directly replaces WR60X10045, WR60X10046, WR60X10072, WR60X10138, WR60X10141, WR60X10346, WR60X23584, WR60X27646, WR60X28783, WR60X28784, WR60X31122, WR60X31523, 4959523, 197D2038P031, AP6977246, EAP12741350, PD00062864, and PS12741350.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator and Move Perishable Food Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Unplug the refrigerator and safely store any food that could spoil while the power is off. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. The evaporator fan motor is located at the back of the freezer compartment, behind an interior access panel. Remove the freezer shelves and any internal components blocking access to the rear panel. Remove the screws holding the rear access panel in place to expose the evaporator coils and fan motor. Photograph the wire connections and fan blade orientation before disconnecting. Disconnect the 2-pin wire harness connector and the ground wire from the old motor. Note the orientation of the fan blade on the motor shaft — the blade typically presses onto the shaft and may need to be transferred to the new motor. Remove the mounting screws or release the motor from its mounting bracket, and pull the old motor free. Carefully transfer the fan blade to the new WR60X31522 motor in the same orientation (or use a new blade if you have one). Install the new motor in the same position, reconnect the wire harness and ground wire, and reinstall the access panel and shelves. Plug the refrigerator back in and allow several hours for the unit to return to its set temperature before reloading with food. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if the evaporator fan motor has failed?
The most common symptoms are: the refrigerator or freezer is warmer than its set temperature even though the compressor sounds like it's running normally; heavy frost or ice buildup on the evaporator coils behind the freezer access panel ("Antarctica" frost); and loud whining, grinding, or scraping noise from the freezer area. To confirm: unplug the refrigerator, remove the rear freezer access panel, and try turning the fan blade by hand. If it doesn't spin freely or is stiff/seized, the motor bearing has failed. You can also test for motor continuity with a multimeter — no continuity confirms electrical failure.
My refrigerator has two evaporator fans — which one does this replace?
Some refrigerator models have two evaporator fan motors — one in the fresh food section and one in the freezer section. The WR60X31522 is typically the freezer-section evaporator fan motor on top-mount style GE and Hotpoint refrigerators. If your symptom is "freezer not cooling properly" or "frost on freezer coils," this is the correct part. If your symptom is specifically "fresh food section warm while freezer is fine" on a French door refrigerator, you may need a different fan motor — contact our support team with your model number to confirm.
Does this motor come with the fan blade?
No — the WR60X31522 listing is for the motor with harness and plug only. The fan blade is typically transferred from the old motor: carefully pull it off the old motor shaft (it presses on, no hardware needed), and press it onto the new motor shaft in the same orientation. If your old fan blade is damaged or cracked, it should be replaced separately. Installing the blade in the wrong direction will reverse the airflow and reduce cooling performance.
What's the difference between the WR60X31522 (115V AC) and DC motors like the WR60X10209 or WR60X26866?
GE refrigerators use different fan motor technologies across model generations. The WR60X31522 is a 115V AC motor with a 2-pin connector plus ground — used in many GE and Hotpoint top-mount freezer refrigerators. The WR60X10209 and WR60X26866 are DC voltage motors (around 11–14V DC) used in newer GE French door refrigerators with electronic control boards that supply variable DC voltage for energy-efficient variable-speed fan operation. These are not interchangeable — always verify the correct part number for your specific refrigerator model before ordering.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by GE to factory specifications. It is the exact same evaporator fan motor installed in compatible GE, Hotpoint, RCA, and Americana refrigerators from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

AGM30045804 Genuine OEM LG Dryer Thermistor and Thermostat Kit
The AGM30045804 is a genuine LG OEM high-limit thermostat and thermistor kit for LG dryers. These two components work together in the same temperature-regulation circuit: the thermistor is a temperature sensor, mounted in the blower housing with its wire harness included, that continuously reports drum temperature to the control board so it can fine-tune heat output throughout the cycle. The high-limit thermostat is a safety switch that automatically shuts off the heating element if temperatures climb past a safe threshold, then resets itself once the dryer cools, without needing to be replaced the way a thermal fuse does.
Because these two parts share the same circuit and tend to wear or fail around a similar timeline, LG sells and services them together as one kit rather than as separate individual parts. Symptoms of failure in this circuit include the dryer overheating (which can scorch clothing or, left unaddressed, pose a fire risk), the dryer running with little or no heat, drying times that have become inconsistent, an error code related to temperature control on the display, or clothes coming out damp after a full cycle. It directly replaces 6931EL3003C, 6323EL2001B, 6931EL3003F, 6931EL3004B, AP7206815, EAP16732335, and PS16732335.
Quick Answer
The AGM30045804 Genuine OEM LG Dryer Thermistor and Thermostat Kit fixes LG (and select Kenmore, GE-branded LG-built) dryers with overheating, little or no heat, inconsistent drying times, a temperature-related error code, or clothes coming out damp after a full cycle. High-limit thermostat + thermistor with wire harness. Replaces 6931EL3003C, 6323EL2001B, 6931EL3003F, 6931EL3004B, AP7206815, EAP16732335, PS16732335. If you've already replaced the high-limit thermostat alone and the problem returns, this combined kit — which also addresses the thermistor — is the next step.
What's In The Kit

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Let It Cool Fully First Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning, and allow the dryer to cool completely if it was recently run. Wear work gloves. Access on many LG models follows this general sequence: remove the lint screen, then remove the two front panel screws underneath it, the two screws on the face of the panel, and the two screws holding the blower cover in place. Disconnect the door switch connector and remove the front panel. With the front open, release the drive belt from the tensioner and remove the drum to access the blower housing where the thermistor is located. Photograph the wiring connections before disconnecting anything, since the thermistor and high-limit thermostat can be easy to confuse with other similar-looking components nearby. Disconnect and remove the old thermistor and high-limit thermostat, noting their exact mounting positions. Install the new components from this kit in the same positions, reconnecting wiring exactly as photographed. Reinstall the drum, re-tension the belt over the tensioner, and reassemble the front panel, blower cover, and lint screen area in reverse order. Restore power and run a full test cycle to confirm normal, consistent heating with no premature shutoffs. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
I already replaced the high-limit thermostat, but it keeps tripping. Why would I need this kit instead?
This is a well-documented pattern. If the thermistor — the sensor that reports temperature to the control board — is misreading heat, the control can keep driving the heating element past the point where the high-limit thermostat has to trip repeatedly to protect the dryer, even with a brand-new thermostat installed. Replacing the thermistor alongside the thermostat addresses the root cause rather than just the symptom, which is exactly why LG packages them together as one kit.
What's the difference between the thermistor and the high-limit thermostat?
The thermistor is a sensor, not a switch — it's a variable resistor whose resistance changes with temperature, and the control board reads that value continuously to regulate heat output throughout the cycle. The high-limit thermostat is a safety switch that does one job: it shuts off the heating element automatically if temperature exceeds a safe limit, then resets itself once things cool down. A failing thermistor causes inconsistent or inaccurate heat regulation; a failing high-limit thermostat causes the dryer to shut off unexpectedly or fail to protect against overheating.
My parts diagram shows more thermostat-like parts than what's in this kit. Did I order the wrong thing?
Not necessarily — some LG dryer models have additional related components, such as a separate blower thermostat, that are not part of this specific kit. This kit covers the high-limit thermostat and thermistor. If your repair calls for additional related parts, or if you're not sure exactly which components your model needs, contact our support team with your model number and we'll help you confirm the complete parts list before you order.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by LG to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It includes the same resistance values, switch threshold, and wire harness configuration as the high-limit thermostat and thermistor originally installed in your dryer.
