The Door Seal is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool dryers. It works to create an airtight seal between the dryer door opening and drum interior. During operation, heated air and moisture are contained within the drum thanks to this crucial seal. 

Symptoms of a worn door seal include:

• Increased drying time due to air leaks
• Clothes not drying completely before end of cycle  
• Excess humidity escaping into home
• Discoloration or residue buildup on door glass

Causes of failure are normal wear and compression over extended use, or damage from improper door closure. A worn seal degrades efficiency and performance of the dryer.

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

The Access Panel Spring Retainer is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This part secures the access panel of the dryer, ensuring it stays in place during operation.

Symptoms of a bad access panel spring retainer include:

• Access panel not staying securely closed
• Difficulty opening or closing the access panel
• Loose or rattling access panel during dryer operation
• Visible damage or wear on the retainer

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