Parts for Maytag MDE26CSADL: 10 - Heater (A0 Series) 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 Element is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool electric dryers. The element provides heat for drying cycles. 240 Volts

Causes of a faulty heater element can include normal wear of internal coils and insulation from repetitive heating. Over-drying of heavy or bulky loads may potentially overwork the element prematurely.

Symptoms of a bad heater element include:

• Inconsistent or excessively long dry times due to inadequate heat
• Damage to other internal components from overwork during compensation
• Risks arise as insulation deteriorates potentially exposing live current

This is a genuine Whirlpool OEM replacement this part is also compatible with Maytag, Jenn-Air and some Kenmore models.

Size: 10-32 inch.

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.
