Customer Questions and Answers for Door Handle by Whirlpool

The Door Handle is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. Located at the center of the dryer door, it allows for easy opening and closing during loading and unloading of wet clothes. Over time, handles can show wear from high-contact use.

Symptoms include:

• Difficulty opening or closing the dryer door  
• The handle snapping off from the door panel  
• Loose fittings creating openings for lint to enter

Causes of handle failure range from use over many years of repetitive gripping to broken plastic from aggressive leaning or slamming. This replacement restores smooth, balanced function. 

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