Parts for Maytag LDE26CS: 08 - Inlet Duct\Heater Assy. Parts

This clip and insulator assembly secures and electrically isolates a component inside a range or wall oven. It keeps the part firmly positioned while preventing shorts and heat damage, supporting accurate, safe appliance operation.

• Holds the designated component against the oven liner or chassis
• Ceramic insulator provides electrical isolation in high-heat areas
• Maintains correct spacing and alignment for reliable performance
• Replaces a missing, bent, or heat-cracked clip/insulator to stop rattles or arcing

• Disconnect power; allow the appliance to cool fully before servicing
• Wear gloves and eye protection
• Access the mounting point; transfer the component into the new insulator and secure with the clip without pinching wires or capillary bulbs
• Restore power and verify proper operation

The Heater Assembly Complete is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers, engineered to generate and maintain the heat necessary for drying clothes efficiently and uniformly. This assembly ensures that your dryer can reach and regulate the desired temperatures without overheating. 

Causes of a bad Heater Assembly can stem from normal wear and tear, overloading of the dryer, insufficient maintenance leading to buildup and blockages, or electrical surges that damage the heating components. 

Symptoms of a bad Heater Assembly Complete include:

• Clothes taking longer to dry or not drying at all
• The dryer not heating up despite running
• Overheating of the dryer, which could trip safety switches or fuses
• Unusual noises or smells indicating potential electrical issues or burning

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

208 Volts

Size: 10-32 inch.

The Hi-Limit Thermostat is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool gas dryers. As a safety device, it monitors internal drum temperatures during cycles to prevent overheating.  If the temperature rises to 200 degrees Fahrenheit, the heating element will cut off. It will resume operation once the temperature drops to 170 degrees Fahrenheit. Featuring two (2) male 1/4" terminals, this thermostat is designed for flush mount installation. Its electric dryer hi-limit thermostat is rated at L200-30F

Causes of a bad hi-limit thermostat can include exposure to excessive temperatures over an extended period. Failure to safely vent moist air outside may cause thermal expansion cutting off electrical control.

Symptoms of a bad hi-limit thermostat include:

• Inability to complete dryer cycles or premature shutoffs  
• Flashing error codes or indicators related to heat
• Sudden lack of heat even when dryer functions normally
• Tripping of household circuit breakers during drying

This OEM part is also compatible with brands like Maytag, Amana, and Kenmore models. Replace yours to ensure thermal safety.

High limit thermostat, Canadian models only.

This jumper wire links two terminals in the appliance's wiring harness to complete a required circuit. Replace a burnt, broken, or heat-damaged jumper to restore reliable power flow and prevent intermittent operation or arcing at the connection.

• Bridges designated terminals to provide proper continuity per the wiring diagram
• Helps deliver power to the intended component or control
• A failed jumper may cause a component to not energize, no or intermittent heat, or an element/burner that won't operate
• Visible signs of failure include melted insulation, discoloration, or burnt/loose connectors

• Disconnect power at the breaker; turn off the gas supply before servicing
• Follow the tech sheet/wiring diagram; move one connection at a time to the same terminals
• Ensure tight, fully seated spade connections on clean terminals; do not force mismatched sizes
• Route wiring away from sharp edges, moving parts, and hot or high-voltage areas; replace any heat-damaged mating terminals

The Whirlpool screw is an OEM replacement part responsible for securing various components or parts on different types of Whirlpool appliances. The screw is designed to provide a secure and reliable fastening connection, ensuring that different parts of the appliance stay in place. It is commonly used in different locations within the appliance, such as the cabinet, panels, or other structural elements.

This part fixes the following symptoms:

• Loose or wobbly components within the appliance
• Panels or parts that are not securely attached
• Rattling or unusual noises due to loose parts
• Damaged or missing screw

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

This terminal insulator assembly isolates and supports an electrical connection where it passes through the appliance chassis. Replacing a cracked or heat-damaged insulator helps prevent shorts and restores a safe, reliable connection.

• Electrically insulates a live terminal from the metal cabinet or oven wall
• Provides a secure pass-through/mounting point for the element/wire connection
• Helps prevent arcing, shorting, and localized heat damage at the connection
• Typical symptoms: visible cracks or burn marks on the insulator, tripped breaker, intermittent or no heat due to a compromised connection

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing
• Access the terminal area; label or photograph wiring to ensure correct reassembly
• Transfer wires one at a time; reuse existing hardware if serviceable and tighten connections securely
• Inspect nearby wire ends/connectors and replace any that are heat-damaged or brittle

The Thermal Fuse is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This safety device protects the dryer from overheating by cutting off power if the dryer exceeds a certain temperature. It is crucial for maintaining safe operation and preventing potential fire hazards. This thermal fuse has 1/4-inch terminals and operates around 243 degrees F. 

Causes of a bad thermal fuse include lint buildup causing overheating, blocked ventilation, or a malfunctioning thermostat. These issues can lead to the fuse blowing to prevent further damage or risk.

Symptoms of a bad thermal fuse include:

• Dryer not starting
• No heat in the dryer
• Dryer shutting off mid-cycle
• The dryer running but not heating

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