XPARTCO 17438200000160 Gas Dryer Flame Switch
The XPARTCO 17438200000160 is an aftermarket replacement gas dryer flame switch compatible with select Midea, Insignia gas dryers, including the MLG45N1BWW, MLG45N3BMG, MLG45N3BWW, MLG52S7AWW, CDG41N1AW/CDG45N1AW series, NSDRE67WH8A, NSFDRG67WH8A, NSDRE67WH8AC, NSTDRG75W1. The flame switch is a safety component mounted on the burner assembly that confirms a flame is actually present after the gas valve opens and the igniter lights the burner. If the switch does not detect a flame within the expected window, it signals the control board to shut off the gas valve, preventing unburned gas from continuing to flow into the dryer cabinet.
When the flame switch fails, the dryer may not heat at all, may shut off the burner shortly after ignition (short-cycling the flame), may trip a no-heat fault code on models with digital displays, or — in rarer failure modes — may fail to shut off gas flow appropriately, which is a safety-relevant failure. It directly replaces 17438200000160 (Midea OEM). Installs in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 17438200000160 Gas Dryer Flame Switch fixes Midea gas dryers that won't heat, where the burner lights and then shuts off shortly after ignition, or where a no-heat fault is displayed.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Gas Appliance Safety Warning This part is installed in a gas dryer. Always unplug the dryer and shut off the gas supply at the shutoff valve before beginning any repair. If you smell gas at any point during or after installation, leave the area immediately and contact your gas utility provider. Do not restore power or gas until the repair is fully complete and all connections are confirmed secure. If you are not comfortable working on gas appliances or safety-relevant flame-detection components, have this part installed by a qualified technician.
⚠️ Wear Work Gloves — Access Requires Cabinet Disassembly Disconnect power and shut off gas before beginning. Wear work gloves throughout — there are sharp metal edges inside the dryer cabinet. Remove the lint filter and the screws securing the lint filter housing. Release the top panel locking clips with a putty knife and lift the top panel. Disconnect the door switch harness and remove the front panel to access the drum and burner assembly. Locate the flame switch mounted on the burner assembly — it is positioned to detect the flame produced once the igniter lights the gas. Photograph the wire connections before disconnecting. Disconnect the wires from the old flame switch, remove the mounting screw, and pull the switch free. Install the new 17438200000160 flame switch in the same position, secure the mounting screw, and reconnect the wires. Reassemble the front panel, drum, and top panel in reverse order. Restore gas and power, and run a test heat cycle to confirm the burner ignites and stays lit normally. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the flame switch do, and how is it different from an igniter?
The igniter is the component that heats up and ignites the gas at the burner. The flame switch is a separate safety component that confirms a flame is actually present after the igniter has done its job and the gas valve has opened. If the flame switch does not detect the expected flame condition, it signals the control system to close the gas valve, stopping gas flow. This two-part system — ignition plus flame confirmation — is a standard safety design in gas dryers and gas appliances generally, ensuring gas does not continue flowing if combustion isn't actually occurring.
My burner lights and then shuts off after a few seconds — is this the flame switch?
Yes, this is a common symptom of a failing flame switch. If the switch is not reliably maintaining its "flame detected" signal to the control board even though the burner is genuinely lit, the system may interpret this as a flame failure and shut the gas valve as a safety precaution — causing the burner to repeatedly light and then extinguish. This short-cycling pattern during what should be a continuous heat cycle is a strong indicator that the flame switch needs replacement.
Why is this called a "flame switch" rather than a "flame sensor"?
Different manufacturers use different terminology for similar flame-detection safety components. On Whirlpool-family gas dryers, this type of part is typically called a "flame sensor" — a bimetal-style sensor near the igniter that closes a circuit when it senses sufficient heat. Midea's parts catalog labels this specific component the "flame switch," and it serves an analogous safety role within the Midea gas burner system: confirming the presence of a flame after ignition. The terminology differs by manufacturer, but the safety function is similar in concept.
Why does this repair require opening the whole dryer cabinet?
On Midea gas dryers, the flame switch is mounted directly on the burner assembly inside the dryer cabinet, which is only accessible after removing the lint filter housing, releasing the top panel, and removing the front panel. This is a more involved repair than swapping an externally accessible part, but it follows the same general gas dryer disassembly procedure used for replacing igniters, thermal fuses, and other burner-area components. Since the cabinet must be opened, it can be a good opportunity to inspect other burner components (igniter, gas valve coils) for wear at the same time.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is manufactured to match the dimensions, mounting configuration, and function of the original 17438200000160 Midea flame switch.

XPARTCO W10316760 Refrigerator Thermistor Sensor
The XPARTCO W10316760 is an aftermarket replacement temperature thermistor compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool-built refrigerators sold under the Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, Inglis, and Magic Chef brands. The thermistor sits inside the fresh food or freezer compartment and continuously reports internal temperature back to the electronic control board, which uses that reading to cycle the compressor, evaporator fan, and damper to keep the compartment in range. When the thermistor drifts out of calibration or fails outright, the control board loses an accurate temperature signal and the refrigerator commonly responds with erratic cooling, a warmer-than-normal compartment, food freezing when it shouldn't, or a flashing/blank temperature display.
This XPARTCO version is built with a quick-connect mounting clip, so it plugs in without cutting or splicing wires — unlike the genuine Whirlpool OEM part, which ships as a splice-in kit requiring you to cut the old thermistor's leads and join the new ones with included wire connectors. It directly replaces W10316760, WPW10323459, W10323459, 12791417, 12791417SP, 12791419SP, 1876627, W10280385, W10280386, W10308052, W10316760VP, W10438639, W10438761, W10452402, AH2580944, AP4538142, AWP40532, EA2580944, EAP2580944, PD00006590, PS2580944, and additional cross-reference numbers listed below.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Disconnect Power Before Starting Unplug the refrigerator or shut off power at the breaker before accessing internal panels. Locate the thermistor at its mounting position inside the fresh food or freezer compartment (location varies by model — consult your model's parts diagram if unsure). Photograph the wire routing before disconnecting. On this XPARTCO version, simply unplug the old thermistor's connector from the wiring harness — no cutting or splicing needed. Release the old thermistor from its mounting clip or bracket and remove it. Install the new thermistor in the same position, securing it in its mounting clip. Plug the new thermistor's connector into the wiring harness, matching your photos. Reassemble any panels removed for access. Restore power and allow the refrigerator several hours to stabilize before checking temperatures. Tools needed: nut driver or screwdriver (for panel access), needle-nose pliers (for mounting clip).
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the same as the genuine Whirlpool W10316760 thermistor?
It's a direct-fit aftermarket equivalent, not the genuine Whirlpool part. The key functional difference is installation: the genuine OEM version ships as a splice-in kit requiring you to cut the old wires and use included splice connectors, while this XPARTCO version has a quick-connect clip that simply plugs in — no splicing tools needed.
Will this fit my refrigerator?
W10316760 and its cross-reference numbers span a wide range of Whirlpool-built models across several brands. Confirm fit using your refrigerator's exact model number before ordering, since visually similar thermistors are used across different platforms and compartment locations. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure.
My fridge is warm but the freezer is fine (or vice versa) — could this part be the cause?
Yes. Most of these refrigerators use separate thermistors for the fresh food and freezer compartments, so a single failed sensor can cause one section to run warm while the other stays normal. Confirm which sensor location your model uses before ordering.
Do I need any tools to install this?
Basic hand tools to access the interior panel (typically a nut driver or screwdriver) plus needle-nose pliers to release the old mounting clip. Because this version uses a plug-style connector, no wire strippers, cutters, or splice connectors are needed — unlike the genuine OEM splice-kit version.
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 resistance curve, mounting position, and temperature-sensing function of the original W10316760 thermistor used in compatible Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, Inglis, and Magic Chef refrigerators.
