Parts for Maytag MEW9630AB02: 02 - Control Panel Parts

This blower is the rotating fan assembly that moves air through the appliance to exhaust heat and moisture. Replacing a worn blower restores proper airflow for more efficient drying and venting. What it does:

• Spins to push air through the dryer/tumbler and out the vent
• Helps remove moisture and heat from the drum during operation
• Commonly linked to weak airflow, long dry times, or unusual noise when failing
• Works as part of the appliance's exhaust/venting system to prevent overheating

• One blower assembly

• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) before servicing
• Inspect mounting, seals, and venting for obstructions when replacing the blower
• Some models require removal of the front or rear panel to access the blower housing
• If you hear rubbing or squealing, check the blower wheel and housing for debris or damage

The Thermal Fuse is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens. This part cuts off power to the oven if it detects excessively high temperatures, preventing potential overheating and ensuring safe operation.

Over time, the thermal fuse can fail due to regular use, exposure to high temperatures, or electrical issues. 

Symptoms of a bad thermal fuse include:

• Oven not powering on
• Oven not heating up
• Interruption of cooking cycles
• No response from oven controls

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

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 is a replacement 8-18 screw used to secure components in compatible Whirlpool appliances. It provides a reliable, corrosion-resistant fastener to restore proper fit and function for panels and internal parts. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets, or small internal components where an 8-18 thread is specified
• Restores loose or missing fasteners that cause rattling, misalignment, or improper sealing
• Matches OEM thread size and head profile for a correct fit when listed for your model
• Prevents further wear or damage caused by using the wrong screw size

• One screw as shown

• Turn off and unplug the appliance before starting any repair
• Use the proper screwdriver or driver bit to avoid stripping the head
• Do not overtighten—tighten until snug and components seat without play
• Replace only where the OEM specifies an 8-18 screw to ensure proper fit

This foam seal fits between mating parts to create a tight barrier that helps prevent leaks and rattling. Replacing a worn or missing seal restores proper sealing and helps keep your appliance running quietly. What it does:

• Creates a compliant gasket between components to limit air or moisture passage
• Helps dampen vibration and reduce rattling/buzzing where parts meet
• Helps maintain proper airflow or fluid routing as designed
• Typical symptoms include leaks, condensation/frost near a joint, or new vibration noises

• One foam seal

• Disconnect power; turn off the water supply before service
• Note the original seal's routing/orientation before removal
• Clean and dry all mating surfaces; remove old foam and residue
• Install without stretching or over-compressing; ensure even contact with no gaps

The Terminal Block is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges. It serves as a crucial connection point for the range’s electrical wiring, ensuring a safe and reliable transfer of power to the appliance.

Over time, terminal blocks can deteriorate due to factors such as heat exposure, electrical surges, or wear and tear. When the terminal block becomes damaged or corroded, it can lead to poor electrical connections or potential safety hazards.

Symptoms of a bad terminal block include:

• Burnt or scorched connections
• Intermittent power loss to the range
• Difficulty in the range heating up properly
• Visible damage or corrosion on the terminal block

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

This 10-32 terminal block nut fastens wire lugs to the appliance's terminal studs. Replacing a missing, stripped, or corroded nut restores a tight, reliable connection and helps prevent heat damage or intermittent power at the connection.

• Secures wire lugs to a 10-32 terminal stud for a solid electrical connection
• Restores proper clamping force when the original nut is stripped, corroded, or missing
• Helps address loose/burned terminal connections, heat discoloration, or intermittent power at the block
• Suitable for terminal block and similar 10-32 stud applications on compatible appliances

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing
• Inspect the terminal block, studs, and wiring for heat damage; replace any damaged components
• Clean threads and start the nut by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten firmly without overtightening
• If the stud turns while tightening, hold it with an appropriate tool to protect the block

This power supply is the electronic control board that provides the regulated voltages and control signals needed for the appliance's user console and main controls to operate reliably. It restores proper power distribution so controls can respond. What it does:

• Converts incoming AC to the low-voltage DC used by the console and control circuitry.
• Powers display, buttons, and control relays so the appliance can receive and execute commands.
• Common symptom: blank or unresponsive display/console.
• Common symptom: intermittent or total loss of control functions, or failure to start cycles.

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid electrical shock.
• Handle the board by its edges and avoid ESD (static) damage—use proper grounding.
• Reassemble panels and secure connectors fully; test control functions after installation.
