Jenn-Air Dryer Parts

This idler spring maintains proper tension on the dryer drum belt by keeping the idler pulley engaged. Replacing a weak or broken spring restores consistent drum rotation and helps prevent belt slippage and squealing during operation.

• Maintains belt tension by pulling the idler arm/pulley against the drum belt
• Helps the motor start and keep the drum turning smoothly
• Reduces belt slippage that can cause squealing or chirping
• Common symptoms of a failed spring: drum won't turn or turns intermittently; belt comes off or feels loose; loud squeal from idler area

• Disconnect power; for gas dryers, shut off the gas supply
• Access the idler assembly; relieve belt tension and note belt/spring routing before removal
• Attach the new spring to the same holes/orientation on the idler arm and base; verify belt path
• Rotate the drum by hand to confirm alignment and tension before reassembly

This spring-timer knob replaces a worn, cracked or missing timer knob so you can set and adjust the appliance's mechanical timer reliably. Simple, direct replacement that restores the user control interface. What it does:

• Fits onto the appliance's mechanical timer shaft to allow setting and advancing the timer
• Restores a secure grip and pointer for accurate time selection
• Commonly used to fix loose, cracked, stripped, or missing timer knobs
• Helps resolve inability to turn or set the mechanical timer caused by a damaged knob

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Pull the old knob straight off the timer shaft; align splines and press the new knob fully onto the shaft until seated
• If the knob is tight, use a proper knob puller or gentle, even leverage to avoid damaging the shaft

This LP conversion kit lets a compatible gas dryer be converted from natural gas to liquid propane (LP) so it can operate safely on propane fuel. Use to modify fuel orifice and related components per OEM instructions. What it does:

• Replaces the factory natural gas components required for propane (LP) operation
• Enables proper burner fuel delivery when converting a dryer to LP
• Helps restore normal heating after switching the dryer fuel type
• Prevents improper combustion when conversion is done per OEM requirements

• Installation must follow the OEM service instructions exactly and use the parts supplied in the kit
• Turn off gas and electrical power before starting work; check all fittings for leaks after installation
• Test the dryer for proper operation and safe combustion after conversion

This is a genuine replacement screw used to secure appliance panels and components, restoring proper fit and reducing vibration or rattling. Simple, low-cost fastener that helps keep parts aligned and stable. What it does:

• Fastens panels, brackets, or trim to the appliance frame
• Restores secure connections that can cause buzzing, rattling, or loose trim
• Replaces missing or stripped hardware to prevent further movement or wear
• Works where the original OEM screw was specified for fit and compatibility

• Disconnect power before working on electrical appliances to avoid shock
• Use the correct size driver to avoid stripping the head
• Install by hand initially to ensure proper threading, then snug—do not overtighten
• Retain removed hardware and compare to the new screw for correct fit before final assembly

This running capacitor restores proper motor operation by providing the phase shift needed for fan and compressor motors. It helps motors run smoothly and reduces overheating or hard-start symptoms when the original capacitor fails. What it does:

• Provides the steady electrical phase shift required for motor operation in refrigeration and HVAC systems
• Helps restore normal motor starting and running performance
• Can reduce motor overheating, humming, or intermittent operation caused by a bad capacitor
• Used when the motor runs poorly, won't reach full speed, or cycles unusually

• 1 running capacitor

• Disconnect power at the breaker and verify the appliance is de-energized before servicing
• Discharge the capacitor with an insulated tool and wear insulated gloves and eye protection
• Replace with the same type and mounting orientation; secure all wire connections firmly

This push-in plug button is a small replacement cap that covers and seals an unused opening or socket on compatible appliances, keeping the area clean and helping prevent debris and moisture entry. What it does:

• Covers an unused plug hole or access port to block dust, dirt, and moisture.
• Provides a finished appearance by hiding raw openings in panels or control housings.
• Helps keep internal components protected from contaminants that can affect operation.
• Snaps into place for a secure fit without adhesives.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing panels or openings.
• Typically installs by pressing into the opening until it snaps flush; no special tools required.
• Verify correct fit and orientation before final reassembly.
• If panel damage is present or the button does not seat securely, inspect mating opening or surrounding clips.

The Dryer Drum Roller Axle is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. It plays a role in the dryer's operation by offering support and an axis for the drum roller to spin smoothly. This guarantees effective and balanced tumbling of clothes throughout the drying cycle. 

Causes of a bad Dryer Drum Roller Axle can include prolonged use leading to wear and tear, accumulation of lint and debris causing additional friction, or improper loading of the dryer drum which can bend or strain the axle.

Symptoms of a bad Dryer Drum Roller Axle include:

• Unusual noises, such as squeaking or grinding, during the operation
• The dryer drum struggling to turn or not turning at all
• Increased vibration or shaking of the dryer unit
• Clothes taking longer to dry or not drying evenly

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