Estate Duct Parts

The Heater Box is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. It houses the heating element that generates the hot air required to dry clothes efficiently. The heater box ensures optimal heat distribution within the dryer, contributing to uniform and effective drying cycles. 

Causes of a bad Heater Box include overheating, which can warp or damage the box, restrictions in airflow causing inefficient heating, and physical damage that can compromise the box's integrity. 

Symptoms of a bad Heater Box include:

• Clothes taking longer than usual to dry
• The dryer operating at higher temperatures than normal
• Unusual noises during operation, indicating potential airflow or mechanical issues
• The outside of the dryer becoming unusually hot during cycles

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

This replacement terminal box encloses the dryer's rear power-cord connection area. It shields the terminal block and wiring to help prevent arcing and heat damage, supporting safe, reliable operation.

• Houses and protects the terminal block and cord connections at the rear of the dryer
• Provides mounting points for the cord strain relief and cover
• Helps contain heat from loose/overheated connections to reduce risk of damage
• Damage here can contribute to scorching/melting at the cord entry, tripped breakers, or intermittent/no power

• Disconnect power before servicing; for gas dryers, also shut off gas supply
• Access the rear terminal area and document wire routing before disassembly
• Install the new box using existing hardware; transfer wiring and reattach the cover/strain relief
• Tighten terminal screws securely and verify correct cord configuration before testing

Dryer Vent Test Kit ensures your dryer's vent system is operating properly. Kit includes two tests depending on the location of your dryer's lint screen: One for the lint screen in the top of your dryer, and one for the lint screen in the front of your dryer. Instructions included.
