12638000000786 Genuine OEM Midea Dryer Drum Roller The 12638000000786 is a genuine Midea OEM dryer drum support roller. This roller sits underneath the drum, along its support track, and does the physical work of holding the drum's weight while letting it turn freely as the belt drives it around. A dryer typically uses more than one of these rollers working together to keep the drum properly supported and centered. Over time, the wheel and bearing inside the roller wear down from the constant heat and rotation the dryer subjects them to, eventually developing a flat spot, seizing up, or simply wearing thin enough that the drum sits unevenly. A worn roller produces a distinctive symptom: a rumbling, squeaking, or thumping noise that rises and falls with drum rotation, often getting louder as a load tumbles or as the roller continues to wear. Quick Answer The 12638000000786 Genuine OEM Midea Dryer Drum Roller fixes Midea-built dryers with a rumbling, squeaking, or thumping noise that rises and falls with drum rotation. Supports and centers the drum along its support track. Common Problems This Part Fixes Rumbling or grinding noise that rises and falls with drum rotation Squeaking or squealing noise from inside the dryer during operation Thumping or knocking noise, especially with a heavier load Noise that gets louder over time as the roller wears further Drum that sits unevenly or wobbles slightly when turned by hand Visible flat spot, cracking, or wear on the roller wheel Noise that continues even with an empty drum tumbling Cross Reference Information Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models. For your convenience, we've included any known superseded, alternate, or cross-reference part numbers that match this item. Replaces Part Numbers 12638000000786, AP7155087, PS18170572 We were not able to confirm additional cross-reference or superseding part numbers for this specific part from reliable sources at the time this page was built, so none are listed here rather than guessed. This is a distinct part number from our 12638000004021 drum roller listing — the two are not interchangeable and do not cross-reference each other. If you have a cross-reference number for your appliance, contact our support team and we will verify compatibility before you order. Compatibility This drum roller is compatible with select Midea-built dryers. Note: A specific verified compatible model list was not available at the time this page was built. Midea uses several different roller designs across its dryer lineup, and this part number is distinct from our 12638000004021 listing. Always verify your full model number before ordering. Contact our support team with your model number and we will confirm fitment before you purchase. Key Features Genuine Midea OEM part — factory-specified wheel and bearing design Supports the drum along its support track, allowing smooth rotation as the belt drives it Resolves "rumbling," "squeaking," and "thumping" noise symptoms caused by roller wear Direct drop-in replacement for the original roller and axle assembly Genuine OEM replacement — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance Product Specifications Part Number 12638000000786 Part Type Dryer Drum Support Roller Condition Genuine OEM Brand Midea Location Drum support track Function Supports and centers the drum during rotation Quantity 1 roller Compatible Brand Midea Installation Notes ⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting 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. Access is typically through the rear panel: remove the screws securing the panel, then release the drum belt from the idler pulley to relieve tension so the drum can be supported and moved slightly for access to the rollers underneath. Photograph the roller and axle positions before removing anything. Remove the retaining clip or fastener holding the worn roller's axle in place, then slide the old roller off. Install the new 12638000000786 roller onto the axle in the same orientation, and secure it with the retaining clip or fastener. While you're in there, check the other rollers by spinning each one by hand — if any feel stiff, gritty, or worn, replace them at the same time, since they're typically the same age and wear on a similar schedule. Re-tension the belt around the idler pulley, reassemble the rear panel, restore power, and run a short empty cycle to confirm the noise has resolved. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, pliers, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions My dryer makes a rumbling noise that gets louder over time. Is this the part I need? Yes, this is the classic symptom of a worn drum roller. As the wheel and bearing wear down, the noise typically starts subtle and gradually worsens, often becoming most noticeable with a full load as the extra weight puts more load on the worn wheel. If the noise rises and falls in rhythm with the drum turning, a roller is the most likely cause. Is this the same roller as your 12638000004021 listing? No. These are two distinct Midea part numbers, and they do not cross-reference or replace each other. If you're not sure which roller your dryer uses, check the number stamped on your existing roller or contact our support team with your model number, and we'll confirm which one is correct before you order. Should I replace just one roller, or all of them? It's worth checking all of them while you have access. Dryers typically use more than one roller supporting the drum, and since they're the same age and under the same stress, if one has worn out the others are often not far behind. Spin each roller by hand — if any feel stiff, gritty, or rough, replace them together to avoid repeating this repair again soon. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Midea to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original wheel design, bearing, and axle fitment of the drum roller originally installed in your dryer.

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.

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.

Pull the dryer away from the wall and remove the rear service panel to expose the heating element housing. Take a photo of the wiring before disconnecting anything — this is important since the high-limit thermostat and thermal cut-off wiring are both in the same area as the element leads and it's easy to mix up terminals. Disconnect the high-limit thermostat/thermal cut-off wiring and the element leads from the old heating element assembly. Remove the mounting screws securing the element housing and slide the old assembly out. Install the new 17438200000109 assembly in the same orientation, reconnect all wires snugly to the correct terminals as documented in your photo, and reinstall the mounting screws. Reassemble the rear service panel, restore power, and run a test heat cycle to confirm the dryer is heating properly. Tip: while the rear panel is open, inspect the high-limit thermostat (Midea 17400513000460) — if the original element failed due to overheating, the thermostat may also need replacement. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver. Frequently Asked Questions How do I know if my dryer's heating element has failed? The clearest sign is a dryer that tumbles and runs through a complete cycle normally but produces little or no heat, leaving clothes damp or only partially dried. You may also notice the dryer taking significantly longer than usual to dry a load as it tries to compensate with extended tumbling time. Visually inspecting the element after removing the rear panel can reveal burn marks, breaks in the coil, or visible arcing damage. A multimeter continuity test on the disconnected element will also confirm failure — a working element shows continuity, while a failed element reads an open circuit. Should I replace the thermostat at the same time as the heating element? It's a good idea to inspect it. When a heating element fails due to overheating — rather than simple end-of-life wear — the paired high-limit thermostat (Midea 17400513000460) located in the same area can also be stressed by the same heat event. Since the rear panel must already be open to replace the element, checking the thermostat's continuity at the same time is a quick step that can prevent a repeat repair if the thermostat is also on the verge of failing. What is the difference between 17438200000109 and 302461060002? These are the same heating element assembly. 302461060002 and MDA17438200000109 are alternate catalog reference numbers used by some parts suppliers for the identical Midea heater assembly. If your dryer's parts diagram or supplier listing shows either of these numbers, the 17438200000109 is the correct part and this listing covers all three references. Does this element fit my Insignia dryer? Yes — Insignia is a Best Buy house brand, and several Insignia electric dryer models (including the NS-FDRE67WH8A-C and NS-TDRE67W1) are manufactured by Midea and use the same internal components, including this heating element assembly. Always verify your specific Insignia model number before ordering to confirm compatibility. 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 heating element assembly installed in compatible Midea and Insignia electric dryers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

XPARTCO 8573713 Gas Dryer Thermal Cut-Off Fuse Replaces WP8573713 The XPARTCO 8573713 is an aftermarket replacement thermal cut-off fuse for Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Crosley, Amana, and Inglis gas dryers. This fuse is mounted on top of the burner funnel, directly under the drum, and it's a one-time safety device: as long as the dryer stays within its normal operating temperature, it does nothing at all, but the instant temperatures near the burner climb high enough — almost always from restricted airflow — the fuse permanently opens the circuit and cuts power. That's why a blown fuse produces such a specific symptom: the dryer won't heat, even though the drum may still tumble and the rest of the dryer seems to run normally. Because this fuse sits on the burner funnel underneath the drum rather than on the more accessible blower housing, replacing it is a more involved repair than a typical thermal fuse swap — the drum has to come out of the cabinet to reach it. Unlike a resettable thermostat, this fuse cannot be reset once it blows; it must be replaced. A blown thermal fuse is almost always a symptom rather than a random failure: restricted exhaust venting is the leading cause, since trapped heat near the burner is exactly what this fuse is designed to react to. It directly replaces WP8573713, AP6013467, and PS11746693. Quick Answer The XPARTCO 8573713 Gas Dryer Thermal Cut-Off Fuse fixes Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Crosley, Amana, and Inglis gas dryers that won't heat, even if the drum still tumbles normally. Mounted on the burner funnel under the drum. Replaces WP8573713, AP6013467, PS11746693. Always inspect and clean the dryer venting when replacing this fuse — a blown fuse is a symptom of restricted airflow, and installing a new fuse without fixing the vent will likely blow it again. Common Problems This Part Fixes Dryer runs and tumbles but produces no heat Dryer that stopped heating suddenly, especially after running unusually hot Drying times that have gotten noticeably longer or clothes coming out damp Repeated blown fuses on a dryer with a known venting or airflow restriction Dryer that recently smelled like burning or overheating before losing heat Continuity test shows an open circuit across the old fuse Cross Reference Information Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models.

Key Features Aftermarket replacement thermal cut-off fuse — one-time safety device that cuts power if the dryer overheats Mounted on top of the burner funnel, directly under the drum Resolves "runs but won't heat," "drying takes too long," and "clothes coming out damp" symptoms caused by a blown fuse Replaces WP8573713, AP6013467, and PS11746693 Compatible with Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Kenmore Elite, Crosley, Amana, Inglis, and Sears Canada gas dryers Aftermarket replacement built to OEM-equivalent quality standards Product Specifications Part Number 8573713 OEM Part Number WP8573713 Part Type Gas Dryer Thermal Cut-Off Fuse Condition Aftermarket Replacement Application Gas Dryers Location Top of the burner funnel, under the drum Resettable No — one-time use, must be replaced once blown Material Plastic housing Dimensions Approx. 1"H x 1"W Repair Difficulty Moderate to Hard — drum removal required for access Quantity 1 thermal cut-off fuse Compatible Brands Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Kenmore Elite, Crosley, Amana, Inglis, Sears Canada Installation Notes ⚠️ Gas Safety — Shut Off The Gas Supply Before Starting This fuse sits directly on the burner funnel, close to the gas burner assembly. Before beginning, close the gas shutoff valve behind the dryer in addition to unplugging the dryer or shutting off its circuit breaker. If at any point you smell gas, stop immediately, leave the area, and do not operate any switches — contact your gas utility or a qualified technician. Do not attempt this repair if you are not comfortable working safely around a gas appliance's burner assembly; a qualified technician can complete it instead. ⚠️ Drum Removal Required — Inspect And Clean The Venting Before Reassembling Wear work gloves. This repair requires removing the drum from the dryer cabinet to access the burner funnel, so budget more time and disassembly than a typical thermal fuse swap. Remove the top and front panels according to your model's service diagram, disconnect the drive belt from the idler pulley, and lift the drum out of the cabinet to expose the burner funnel underneath. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting the old fuse's connectors. Test the old fuse for continuity with a multimeter to confirm it's actually blown (no continuity) rather than assuming, and test the new fuse to confirm it's good out of the box. This is the most important step: fully inspect and clean the dryer's exhaust vent, from the lint trap housing all the way to the exterior vent hood, checking for lint buildup, crushed sections, or excessive length. A blown thermal fuse is a symptom of restricted airflow, and skipping this step means the new fuse is likely to blow again. Install the new 8573713 fuse on the burner funnel in the same mounting position, reconnect the wiring, and reassemble the drum, belt, and panels in reverse order. Restore the gas supply and power, and run a test cycle to confirm normal heating and shutoff behavior. Tools needed: Phillips or nut driver (model-dependent), multimeter, vent brush or vacuum attachment for cleaning ductwork, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions My dryer tumbles fine but there's no heat. Is this the right part? Yes, this is the classic symptom of a blown gas dryer thermal cut-off fuse. Because this fuse only interrupts the heating circuit and not the drive motor, the drum can continue tumbling completely normally while the dryer produces no heat at all. If you've confirmed the burner isn't igniting and the fuse tests as an open circuit, this is very likely the fix. Why does this repair require removing the drum? My other dryer's fuse didn't need that. This particular fuse is mounted on the burner funnel underneath the drum rather than on the blower housing at the back of the cabinet, which is where many thermal fuses on other platforms are located. Reaching the burner funnel requires taking the drum out of the cabinet, which is why this repair involves more disassembly than some other thermal fuse replacements. I replaced the fuse and it blew again. What's going on? This is a strong sign that the underlying cause — almost always restricted airflow — was never addressed. Thermal fuses don't fail from age; they blow because the dryer overheated. If a new fuse keeps blowing, thoroughly inspect and clean the entire exhaust path from the lint trap housing to the outside vent hood, checking for lint buildup, crushed or kinked ductwork, or a vent run that's too long. 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 electrical specifications and mounting configuration of the original WP8573713 thermal cut-off fuse used in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Crosley, Amana, and Inglis gas dryers.

Remove the lint screen, then unscrew the two Phillips screws inside the lint filter housing. Use a putty knife 2 inches from each front corner to release the top panel clips and lift the top panel. Remove the front panel to access the drum. Release belt tension at the idler pulley, lift the drum slightly, and slide the old belt off. Loop the new 341241 belt around the drum with the ribbed side facing down (toward the drum). Route the belt around the idler pulley and motor pulley — consult your model's service manual or a model-specific video for the correct belt path. Reassemble and run a test cycle. Tip: While the drum is out, inspect and replace the idler pulley (691366) and drum rollers (349241T) if worn. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife or flat pry tool. Frequently Asked Questions How does the 341241 differ from the W10205415 and 6602-001655 belts? All three are 92-inch dryer drum belts, but they differ in width and rib count. The 341241 is 1/4" wide with 4 ribs and 3 grooves. The W10205415 is 3/8" wide with 5 ribs and 4 grooves. The 6602-001655 is 5/16" wide with 5 ribs and 4 grooves designed for Samsung dryers. Always match the part number to your specific model — do not substitute based on appearance alone. Will this belt fit my Kenmore dryer? Many Kenmore dryers — especially the popular 110-series — are manufactured by Whirlpool and use the 341241 belt. Check your model number against the compatibility list and contact our support team if you need help confirming the fit before ordering. How do I know if my drum belt needs to be replaced? The most obvious sign is that the dryer motor hums but the drum does not spin. You may also notice a thumping or slapping sound during operation, a burning rubber smell, or clothes that are damp after a full cycle. Open the dryer cabinet to visually confirm if the belt is broken, frayed, or stretched. Should I also replace the idler pulley and drum rollers? Yes — since the dryer is already disassembled, it is highly recommended to inspect and replace the idler pulley (691366) and drum support rollers (349241T) at the same time. These parts wear at a similar rate and replacing all three together — often sold as a repair kit — prevents having to disassemble the dryer again in the near future. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications. It is the exact same belt that came installed in your dryer from the factory — same materials, dimensions, and performance.

2 Pack - 12638000004021 Genuine OEM Midea Dryer Drum Roller The 12638000004021 is a genuine Midea OEM dryer drum support roller, sold under the Frigidaire/Midea manufacturing relationship for Midea-built dryers and select Frigidaire, Insignia, and Kenmore dryers using this same platform. This roller sits underneath the drum, along its rear support track, and does the physical work of holding the drum's weight while letting it turn freely as the belt drives it around. A dryer typically uses more than one of these rollers working together to keep the drum properly supported and centered. Over time, the wheel and bearing inside the roller wear down from the constant heat and rotation the dryer subjects them to, eventually developing a flat spot, seizing up, or simply wearing thin enough that the drum sits unevenly. A worn roller produces a distinctive symptom: a rumbling, squeaking, or thumping noise that rises and falls with drum rotation, often getting louder as a load tumbles. It directly replaces 5304511415, AP7990985. Quick Answer The 12638000004021 Genuine OEM Midea Dryer Drum Roller fixes Midea-built dryers (and select Frigidaire, Insignia, and Kenmore dryers on this platform) with a rumbling, squeaking, or thumping noise that rises and falls with drum rotation. Supports and centers the drum on its rear track. Replaces 5304511415, AP7990985. Common Problems This Part Fixes Rumbling or grinding noise that rises and falls with drum rotation Squeaking or squealing noise from inside the dryer during operation Thumping or knocking noise, especially with a heavier load Noise that gets louder over time as the roller wears further Drum that sits unevenly or wobbles slightly when turned by hand Visible flat spot, cracking, or wear on the roller wheel Noise that continues even with an empty drum tumbling Cross Reference Information Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models. For your convenience, we've included any known superseded, alternate, or cross-reference part numbers that match this item. Replaces Part Numbers This dryer drum roller directly replaces the following OEM and cross-reference part numbers: 12638000004021, AP7990985, PS18170578, 5304511415, 4056012471, AP8049485, PS17993389. If your part number is not listed above, contact our support team before ordering and we will verify compatibility. Compatibility This drum roller is compatible with select Midea-built dryers, and also fits select Frigidaire, Insignia, and select Kenmore dryers built on the same Midea platform. Note: Always verify your full model number before ordering, since Midea and its partner brands use several different roller designs across their dryer lineup. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure. Key Features Genuine Midea OEM part — factory-specified wheel and bearing design Supports the drum along its rear track, allowing smooth rotation as the belt drives it Resolves "rumbling," "squeaking," and "thumping" noise symptoms caused by roller wear Direct drop-in replacement for the original roller and axle assembly Replaces 5304511415, AP7990985. Compatible with Midea, Frigidaire, Insignia, and select Kenmore dryers Genuine OEM replacement — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance Product Specifications Part Number 12638000004021 Part Type Dryer Drum Support Roller Condition Genuine OEM Brand Midea Location Rear drum support track Function Supports and centers the drum during rotation Quantity 1 roller Compatible Brands Midea, Frigidaire, Insignia, Kenmore Installation Notes ⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting 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. Access is typically through the rear panel: remove the screws securing the panel, then release the drum belt from the idler pulley to relieve tension so the drum can be supported and moved slightly for access to the rollers underneath. Photograph the roller and axle positions before removing anything. Remove the retaining clip or fastener holding the worn roller's axle in place, then slide the old roller off. Install the new 12638000004021 roller onto the axle in the same orientation, and secure it with the retaining clip or fastener. While you're in there, check the other rollers by spinning each one by hand — if any feel stiff, gritty, or worn, replace them at the same time, since they're typically the same age and wear on a similar schedule. Re-tension the belt around the idler pulley, reassemble the rear panel, restore power, and run a short empty cycle to confirm the noise has resolved. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, pliers, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions My dryer makes a rumbling noise that gets louder over time. Is this the part I need? Yes, this is the classic symptom of a worn drum roller. As the wheel and bearing wear down, the noise typically starts subtle and gradually worsens, often becoming most noticeable with a full load as the extra weight puts more load on the worn wheel. If the noise rises and falls in rhythm with the drum turning, a roller is the most likely cause. Should I replace just one roller, or all of them? It's worth checking all of them while you have access. Dryers typically use more than one roller supporting the drum, and since they're the same age and under the same stress, if one has worn out the others are often not far behind. Spin each roller by hand — if any feel stiff, gritty, or rough, replace them together to avoid repeating this repair again soon. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Midea to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original wheel design, bearing, and axle fitment of the drum roller originally installed in your dryer.

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.

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.
