Without the use of a motor clamp, the drive motor is free to move around or become detached. This can easily cause serious damage to the equipment and prevent proper functionality. Proper tools are needed to replace this part and appropriate safety measures should be adhered to when working on any type of equipment. For accurate information on how and where to install this replacement motor clamp, specific manufacturer diagrams should be referred to.As an authentic replacement part, this motor clamp can be used on multiple different models of washers, dryers, refrigerators, and washer/dryer combos manufactured by Kenmore, Maytag, Whirlpool, and Amana. Please note that this motor clamp is a genuine part made of high-quality materials and is sold individually.

The Dryer Drive Motor is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This motor is the heart of the dryer, responsible for turning the drum and enabling the air to circulate properly throughout the machine.  

Over time, dryer motors can suffer from wear and tear due to continuous use, accumulation of lint and debris, or overload from heavy laundry loads. These factors can lead to the motor overheating, losing power, or failing to start altogether.

Symptoms of a bad Dryer Drive Motor include:

• The dryer not starting when the start button is pressed
• Unusual noises, such as humming or buzzing
• The dryer stopping unexpectedly during cycles
• A burning smell coming from the dryer

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 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

Specs: 10-16 x 1/2 inch.

This terminal block access cover protects the appliance's electrical connection area, helping keep wires shielded and reducing the risk of accidental contact. It restores the factory appearance and helps maintain safe operation. What it does:

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 U-type nut clips over a sheet-metal edge to create a durable threaded anchor for a screw. It helps secure panels, trim, and brackets so fasteners hold tight and components stay aligned and rattle-free. What it does:

• Clips onto thin sheet metal to provide captive threads where a standard nut cannot be used
• Holds screws securely to fasten panels, trim pieces, or mounting brackets
• Addresses issues like loose panels, missing/broken clips, or screws that will not tighten
• Helps reduce vibration and rattling from unsecured components

• 1 U-type nut

• Disconnect power and shut off gas/water before servicing
• Position the U-nut over the panel edge with the threaded side aligned to the hole
• Start the screw by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly without overtightening

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.

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.
