• Protects the pilot/indicator bulb from dust, spills and contact.
• Diffuses and focuses the light so the indicator is visible without glare.
• Restores a finished appearance to a cracked, faded or missing lens.
• Helps prevent direct contact with the bulb for safer operation.

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before accessing the control panel.
• Lens may be secured by snap-fit tabs or small screws—remove the control panel or knob as needed.
• Handle the lens carefully to avoid scratches; align tabs or screw holes and seat fully.
• If the indicator still does not light after installation, check the bulb and wiring.

The Relay is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This part acts as a switch, controlling the flow of electrical current to various parts of the dryer, such as the heating element or the motor. 

Over time, relays can fail due to wear and tear, electrical issues, or overheating. When a relay malfunctions, it may prevent the dryer from starting, heating, or performing correctly.

Symptoms of a bad Relay include:

• The dryer does not start
• The dryer does not heat
• Unusual noises during operation
• The dryer stops unexpectedly during a cycle

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

The push-to-start switch activates the dryer motor when you press the Start button. Replacing it restores dependable starting with one press.

• Completes the start circuit to power the motor when pressed; spring-returns when released
• Restores normal operation when the original switch is worn, stuck, or electrically open
• Symptoms include: dryer won't start, starts only while button is held, intermittent starting, or no response when pressing Start
• Mounts in the control console behind the Start button/knob; connects with spade terminals

• Disconnect power to the dryer before servicing
• Remove the console/trim as needed to access the switch; pull off the knob if present
• Note wire positions (take a photo); move wires to the new switch one at a time and secure
• Test operation; also check the door switch, thermal fuse, and belt switch
