Parts for Panasonic NN4408A: Escutcheon Base Assembly Parts

This heater duct assembly routes heated air from the dryer's heating unit to the drum so your loads dry efficiently and evenly. It replaces a damaged or obstructed duct to restore proper airflow and drying performance. What it does

• Channels hot air from the heating element into the drum for consistent drying.
• Restores airflow if a cracked or broken duct was leaking heat inside the cabinet.
• Helps address symptoms like reduced drying performance or longer cycle times.
• Prevents heat loss that can cause the dryer to run inefficiently.

• Disconnect power (unplug electric or shut off gas and unplug) before beginning any repair.
• High-level access may require removing the dryer's front or top panel; use basic hand tools and follow the dryer's service manual.
• Inspect surrounding seals and fasteners; replace any damaged clips or gaskets for a proper fit.
• Never operate the dryer with the duct disconnected or obstructed; ensure lint is cleared before reassembly.
