This is a replacement pilot light lens — the small cover that protects and diffuses the indicator/bulb on the control panel. It keeps the lamp shielded while letting the pilot light show through clearly. What it does:

• 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

This is a replacement machine screw sized 8-18 x 3/8 that secures panels and components on compatible appliances. It restores proper fastening where a worn, stripped, or missing screw causes loose parts or rattling. What it does

• Fastens control panels, trim pieces, or brackets to the appliance chassis
• Replaces stripped, corroded, or missing screws that cause loose panels or vibrating noise
• Provides correct thread engagement for a secure hold in tapped holes
• Small hardware solution often used during door, console, or interior repairs

• One 8-18 x 3/8 machine screw (quantity: 1)

• Use the correct screw size and thread; do not force a different-size fastener into tapped holes
• Hand-start the screw to avoid cross-threading, then tighten with the appropriate screwdriver
• Disconnect power before accessing internal components or panels on electrical appliances
• If metal threads are damaged, repair with a helicoil or replace the damaged component rather than over-torquing

This is a replacement screw designed to work with a wide range of household appliances. It is used for many purposes in these appliances, from holding body panels together to securing electronics into control boards. However, screws are subject to damage through corrosion, impact, and improper installation/removal. In most cases, the primary damage to this screw is through corrosion – it may become rusted or corroded in place, depending on the appliance and the maintenance provided during its lifespan. The screw may also be stripped or rounded due to improper removal or installation. If the screw is damaged, lost, or corroded in place, it will need to be replaced. In most cases, removal will require nothing more than a Phillips head screwdriver or the appropriately sized socket with a ratchet. However, if the screw is damaged, it may require a tap set to remove it from its mounting location. Note that this is a genuine OEM replacement screw made from durable, high-quality metal, and is sold individually. It fits Whirlpool, Maytag, Roper, Estate, Amana, Crosley, and Thermador appliances. It is used in over 150 machines, ranging from washers and dryers to air conditioners.

This lock cam is a small actuator that drives the appliance's door-lock mechanism. It translates the lock actuator's movement into a positive latch, helping the door lock securely when required and release correctly so cycles start and finish properly.

• Interfaces with the lock actuator and latch to engage and release the lock
• Wear, cracking, or rounding can cause the lock not to engage or to stick
• Common symptoms include a door/lid that won't lock or unlock, loose lock lever, clicking without latching, or door/lock-related error messages
• Restores proper linkage travel and switch actuation when the original cam is worn or damaged

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Access the lock mechanism per your model; note the cam's orientation and any springs/linkages
• Install the new cam fully seated and ensure it engages the actuator and latch smoothly
• Reassemble, restore power, and test lock operation

This is the factory replacement microwave door assembly. It restores a smooth, secure door closure and proper operation so the unit can open and close reliably and look like new. What it does:

• Provides a complete, aligned door to open/close the cavity smoothly
• Ensures latch hooks engage properly so the appliance can operate
• Replaces doors that are cracked, warped, or have broken handle mounts
• Addresses issues like the unit not starting unless the door is pressed, or stopping when the door is moved
• Helps resolve sparking/arcing around the door opening caused by a damaged door choke or screen

• One door assembly

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing; microwaves contain high-voltage components
• For over-the-range units, support or remove the microwave from the wall to safely access and handle the door
• Transfer any reusable hardware/hinge pins/trim from the original door as needed
• Align the hinges and verify the door closes, latches, and opens smoothly before remounting

The Timing Cam is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This is part of the dryer's timer mechanism and manages the sequence and duration of drying cycles.  

Causes of a bad Timing Cam often stem from mechanical wear and tear over extended use, which can lead to the cam becoming worn down or damaged. 

Symptoms of a bad Dryer Timing Cam include:

• The dryer not advancing through its cycles properly, leading to under or over-dried clothes.
• The dryer stopping mid-cycle or failing to start a cycle at all, indicating the cam isn't engaging the timer contacts correctly.
• Unusual noises from the timer area, which may suggest the cam is damaged or misaligned.

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