The Dryer Clip is an OEM component for Whirlpool electric and gas dryers. It securely fastens critical ductwork attached to the dryer cabinet. Over extended periods, the constant vibrations produced during tumbling cycles cause microscopic fractures or loosening within the clip material where it grips duct joints. 

Causes relate to ordinary fatigue from long-term resonance vibrations concentrated at anchoring points.

Symptoms involve:

• Loose or detached venting/ductwork affecting airflow
• Noticeable leaks emerging at separation interfaces
• Reduced drying effectiveness due to compromised ventilation

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 screw grommet anchors a screw in thin appliance panels so trim, covers, or consoles stay tight. It provides a snug, vibration-damping fit where a standard screw could loosen or strip over time.

• Creates a captive insert so a screw can securely fasten to sheet metal or plastic panels
• Replaces a worn, cracked, or missing grommet to restore proper screw retention
• Helps reduce panel rattles and movement from vibration
• Typical signs of failure: screw won't tighten, panel or trim feels loose, grommet falls out

• Disconnect power and shut off gas/water as applicable before servicing
• Remove the screw and lift out the old grommet; clear debris from the opening
• Press the new grommet straight into the hole until fully seated and flush
• Reinstall the screw and tighten gently to avoid deforming the grommet

This is a 10-16 x 1/2 inch appliance screw used to secure panels and components on compatible Whirlpool laundry and kitchen appliances. It restores a secure fit when a fastener is missing or stripped. What it does

• Fastens trim, panels, brackets or small components to the appliance chassis
• Replaces a lost or damaged factory screw to stop rattling or loose parts
• Matches OEM thread and length for proper engagement and holding strength
• Helps maintain alignment and safe operation of the attached part

• Use the correct screwdriver or nutdriver to avoid stripping the head
• Tighten until snug—do not overtighten to prevent damage to threads or sheet metal
• Disconnect power and follow the appliance manufacturer's safety instructions before servicing

This motor mount clamp secures the dishwasher's pump/motor assembly to its housing, keeping the motor stable and the seal tight. Replace a damaged clamp to help prevent leaks and reduce vibration or rattling noise.

• Secures the pump/motor assembly at the mount to prevent movement
• Helps maintain a watertight seal at the motor connection
• A failed clamp can lead to leaking from the base area
• May cause excessive vibration or rattling during operation

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing
• Access the pump/motor from beneath; support the assembly to relieve tension
• Note clamp orientation; ensure the existing seal is properly seated and tighten the new clamp evenly
• After reassembly, run a short cycle and check for leaks

This replacement drive motor powers your appliance's mechanical drive system. A worn or seized motor can cause humming, stalling, or a no-run condition. Installing a new motor restores reliable rotation and full cycle operation.

• Supplies rotational power to the unit's drive mechanism
• Can help fix: won't run/start, hums but won't turn, stalls or stops mid-cycle, trips breaker or overheats
• Helps reduce excessive buzzing or burnt-odor from a failing motor

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing; allow hot components to cool
• Access varies by model; photograph wiring and note routing before removal
• Transfer any brackets, pulleys/gears, or mounting hardware from the old motor if required
• After installation, verify the drive turns freely and no components are binding before restoring power

This belt restrainer is the small guide that keeps the dryer's drive belt on the motor pulley. It prevents the belt from walking off during operation, supporting consistent drum rotation and reducing premature belt wear. What it does:

• Guides and retains the drive belt on the motor pulley
• Helps maintain proper belt tracking with the idler assembly
• Can help with symptoms like drum not turning, belt repeatedly slipping off, burning rubber smell, or frayed belt edges

• 1 belt restrainer

• Disconnect power; for gas dryers, also shut off the gas supply
• Access the motor area per your model (remove front or lower access panel)
• Position the restrainer adjacent to the motor pulley with slight clearance to the belt; route the belt correctly around drum, idler, and motor
• Hand-rotate the drum to confirm alignment before reassembly and testing

The Idler Pulley is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers, responsible for maintaining the correct tension on the drive belt, allowing it to remain tight and aligned, preventing slipping and contributing to the consistent rotation of the drum during cycles.  

Symptoms of a bad Idler Pulley include:

• Squealing or squeaking noises  
• The dryer drum failing to turn 
• Excessive vibration or unusual sounds 

Causes of failure can range from normal wear and tear, which can lead to the pulley's bearing wearing out, to the accumulation of lint and debris causing the pulley to seize or function improperly. Additionally, a cracked or damaged pulley can lead to belt misalignment and slippage.

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

Fits all Whirlpool-made dryers (Whirlpool, Kenmore with prefix 110, Roper, KitchenAid, and Estate). Matching belt 341241 and rear support rollers 349241T. Whirlpool dryer repair manual 677818L.

The Dryer Belt (length 79-1/8 inches) is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This belt wraps around the drum, the motor pulley, and the idler pulley to enable the drum to rotate during the drying cycle. It ensures that clothes are tumbled and dried evenly. Also available in repair kit AP3109603

Over time, the dryer belt can become worn or snap due to the constant tension and friction it endures. When the belt fails, the drum will no longer spin, and the dryer will be unable to dry clothes effectively.

Symptoms of a bad dryer belt include:

• The dryer drum not turning
• A burning smell from the dryer
• Unusual noises during operation
• The dryer running but not tumbling clothes

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