Parts for Maytag DG16CA: 07 - Exhaust & Blower Assembly Parts

By Maytag. Round style, fits older Maytag dryers.

The Cycling Thermostat is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. It regulates and monitors the temperature inside the dryer during the drying cycle. It ensures that the dryer doesn't overheat and prevents potential damage to clothes or the dryer itself.

Causes of a faulty cycling thermostat can include wear and tear over time, electrical issues, or sensor malfunction.

Symptoms of a bad cycling thermostat may include:

• Clothes taking longer than usual to dry
• Inconsistent drying results
• Overheating or burning smell
• The dryer not heating at all

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

This is a small fiber washer that fits on the drum support roller shaft inside the dryer. It acts as a spacer and bearing surface to reduce friction and keep the drum roller properly positioned. Replace this washer if the dryer makes squealing, thumping, or scraping noises during operation, or if the drum rollers appear to wobble or wear unevenly.

Replace worn, stripped, or missing 8-18 x 3/8 machine screws that secure control panels, trim pieces, and brackets on your appliance. Restores tight fit.

Hex head sheet metal screw secures appliance panels, brackets, and trim. Replace missing, stripped, or damaged screws to keep covers firmly attached.

This elbow redirects a fluid or air line inside the appliance to allow routing around components and tight spaces. It restores proper flow path and helps stop leaks or blockages when the original elbow is cracked or worn. What it does:

• Provides a sealed change of direction for a water, drain, or vent line inside the appliance
• Replaces a cracked or broken elbow that can cause leaks, water pooling, or reduced flow
• Re-establishes the correct routing to prevent kinks and stress on connected hoses or tubing
• Helps eliminate intermittent draining or venting issues caused by a damaged fitting

• Disconnect power and shut off water supply before accessing the part
• Verify orientation and routing before removing the old elbow to ensure correct reinstallation
• Inspect and replace any worn clamps, gaskets, or hoses when installing the new elbow
• Tighten fittings to secure but avoid over-tightening which can crack plastic components
