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.

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.

XPARTCO DC47-00018A Dryer Hi Limit Thermostat
The XPARTCO DC47-00018A is an aftermarket replacement cycling high-limit thermostat for Samsung and select Kenmore electric dryers. This is a genuine, automatically resetting thermostat — not a one-time fuse. It monitors temperature in the heating circuit and opens to cut power to the heating element at approximately 260°F, protecting the dryer from overheating. Once the temperature drops to around 210°F, it closes again on its own, letting the dryer resume heating without any part replacement needed.
This thermostat works alongside a downstream thermal fuse (such as our DC96-00887C listing) in the same overheat-protection circuit. If this thermostat is cycling excessively, tripping prematurely, or failing to regulate temperature correctly, it can put stress on that thermal fuse, sometimes causing it to blow as a last-resort safety measure. Symptoms of a failing high-limit thermostat include no heat or insufficient heat, drying that takes too long, or the dryer shutting off too soon before a load is fully dry. It directly replaces 35001092, WP35001092, 1122485, AP4201898, PS4205217, EAP2430930, PS2430930, and AP6008682.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO DC47-00018A Dryer Hi Limit Thermostat fixes Samsung and select Kenmore electric dryers with no heat or insufficient heat, drying that takes too long, or premature shutoff before a load is fully dry. Opens at approximately 260°F, resets automatically around 210°F. Replaces 35001092, WP35001092, 1122485, AP4201898, PS4205217, EAP2430930, PS2430930, AP6008682. This is a resettable thermostat, not a fuse — it does not need replacement after each trip. It's a different component from our DC96-00887C thermal fuse listing, though the two are often checked together.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer has no heat or insufficient heat
Drying takes too long to complete a cycle
Dryer shuts off too soon, before clothes are fully dry
Timer will not advance through the cycle
Dryer that stopped working suddenly after running unusually hot
Dryer with a history of repeated downstream thermal fuse failures

Note — resettable thermostat, not a fuse: This DC47-00018A is a true cycling thermostat that resets itself automatically. Our DC96-00887C listing, despite frequently being labeled a "thermostat" on other marketplaces, is actually a one-time thermal fuse mounted separately on the blower housing — it cannot reset and must be replaced once blown. The two are different device types serving the same circuit. Always verify your full model number before ordering. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Access is typically through the rear panel, near the heater duct and blower housing area where this thermostat is mounted. Photograph the wiring connections before disconnecting anything, since this thermostat can be positioned close to other similar-looking components in the same circuit. Remove the old thermostat from its mounting position, noting orientation, and disconnect its wiring. Install the new DC47-00018A in the same position, reconnecting wiring exactly as photographed. Reassemble the panel, restore power, and run a full test cycle to confirm normal, consistent heating with no premature shutoffs. Tools needed: Phillips or nut driver (model-dependent), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to reset this thermostat after it trips, or replace it?
Neither, in normal operation — this is a genuine cycling thermostat that resets itself automatically once the dryer cools to around 210°F. You should only need to replace it if it has failed outright (stuck open, stuck closed, or no longer switching at the correct temperatures), not simply because it tripped once during normal operation.
My dryer shuts off before the load is fully dry. Is that this part?
It's a strong possibility. If this high-limit thermostat is tripping prematurely — opening at a lower temperature than it should — the dryer can cut heat and end the cycle early even though the load isn't actually dry yet. This is one of the more common symptoms this thermostat addresses.
My thermal fuse keeps blowing. Could this thermostat be the underlying cause?
Yes, this is worth investigating. This thermostat and the downstream thermal fuse (our DC96-00887C listing) protect the same circuit at different points. If this thermostat isn't regulating temperature correctly — cycling excessively or failing to catch a temperature spike — the thermal fuse can end up blowing repeatedly as the last line of defense. If you've replaced the fuse more than once, checking or replacing this thermostat at the same time is a reasonable next step.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Samsung OEM part, but is manufactured to match the electrical specifications and opening/reset temperatures of the original DC47-00018A high-limit thermostat used in compatible Samsung and Kenmore electric dryers.

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.
