• Directs power to motor/heater via internal switch contacts
• Ends the cycle and turns the dryer off at completion
• Failure symptoms include the timer not advancing, dryer running continuously, won't start on certain settings, or auto-dry not progressing

• Disconnect power; turn off gas supply for gas models before servicing
• Access the timer from the control console; remove the knob/dial if needed
• Transfer wires one at a time to matching terminals on the new timer
• Mount the timer securely, reinstall panels/knob, and run a test cycle

The motor mounting clamp is essential for maintaining the proper alignment and function of the dryer motor.

Over time, the motor mounting clamp can become worn out or damaged due to constant vibration and movement. Accidental impacts or mishandling during maintenance can also cause the clamp to fail, leading to motor misalignment or instability.

Symptoms of a bad motor mounting clamp include:

• Excessive noise or vibration during the drying cycle
• Motor shifting or moving within the dryer
• Reduced drying efficiency
• The dryer not starting or stopping abruptly

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

This in the male piece on the front panel. For the female piece on the door order WPW10111905.

The Dryer Door Hinge Assembly is an OEM part for Whirlpool electric and gas dryers. As a critical component, this assembly supports the dryer door and allows for smooth opening and closing. 

Causes of failure include frequent use, which causes hinge components like bushings and bearings to wear out more quickly over time. Housing cracks or mechanical loosening from repeated operation are other issues.

Symptoms of a faulty door hinge assembly include: 

• Door that won't stay closed securely or slams shut on its own   
• Difficulty smoothly opening and closing the door
• Excessive gaps around the edges that allow lint to escape

This genuine Whirlpool replacement fits Maytag, Amana, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, and select Kenmore dryers.

The Door Strike is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. This component ensures the dryer door securely latches, enabling the appliance to operate and preventing it from running with the door ajar. It works in conjunction with the door catch to maintain a proper seal during drying cycles.

Symptoms of a bad Door Strike include:

• The dryer door not latching or staying closed
• The dryer not starting due to the door remaining open
• The door popping open during operation
• Visible wear, bending, or damage to the strike

Causes of a failing Door Strike can include regular wear and tear, misalignment from improper use, or damage from slamming the door. Replacing a faulty strike ensures the dryer operates safely and efficiently.

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

The Dryer Timer is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. It is responsible for controlling the drying cycles by regulating the amount of time the dryer runs. The timer ensures that clothes are dried according to the selected settings, contributing to efficient and effective drying performance.

Causes of a bad timer can include electrical issues such as a short circuit, worn-out internal components due to frequent use, or exposure to moisture that can damage the timer mechanism.

Symptoms of a bad Dryer Timer include:

• The dryer not advancing through cycles
• The dryer running continuously without shutting off
• Inconsistent drying times
• The timer knob not turning or feeling loose

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

This moisture sensor monitors dampness inside the dryer drum and signals the control when fabrics are dry, helping automatic cycles end on time and avoid overdrying. Replacing a failed sensor can restore consistent Auto Dry performance and cycle times. What it does:

• Detects moisture level via conductivity across the sensor surfaces inside the drum
• Sends feedback to the control so Auto Dry cycles advance and stop correctly
• Helps prevent overdrying and underdrying in sensor-based cycles
• Common symptoms of a faulty sensor may include: auto cycles ending too soon or running too long, clothes remaining damp, or the dryer staying on "Sensing" while timed cycles still work

• 1 moisture sensor

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, shut off gas before servicing
• Access the sensor at the front bulkhead/lint housing area; remove front panel as needed per model
• Transfer connectors and route wiring exactly as original; secure the sensor firmly
• Clean the sensor contact surfaces with rubbing alcohol; residue from dryer sheets or fabric softeners can affect readings

This glow-bar igniter lights the gas burner in your dryer so it can produce heat. When the igniter is cracked, weak, or open, the burner won't light and clothes won't dry properly.

• Heats up to ignite the gas burner during each heating cycle
• Common symptoms of failure: no heat, takes too long to dry, burner won't light, igniter doesn't glow or glows but no flame
• Restores consistent ignition and drying performance

• Unplug dryer and shut off gas supply before servicing
• Handle the igniter carefully—ceramic element is fragile; avoid touching it with bare fingers
• Note wire routing and burner alignment before removal
• After installation, restore gas/electric and check for proper burner ignition

This flexible, narrow brush reaches under and behind the cabinet to sweep dust and lint from condenser coils and vents. Cleaning built-up debris helps restore airflow and support proper cooling performance.

• Sweeps dust, lint, and pet hair from condenser coils and ventilation areas
• Flexible reach helps access coils beneath or behind the appliance
• Aids proper heat dissipation by clearing airflow paths
• Helpful when coils are visibly dirty, cooling seems weak, or the unit runs longer than usual

• Unplug or disconnect power before cleaning
• Remove the toe grille or rear access panel if needed to access coils
• Brush gently along the coil fins; avoid bending fins or damaging tubing
• Vacuum or wipe up loosened debris before replacing any panels and restoring power

This fixed-value resistor is an electrical component used in select dryers to limit current in a specific control circuit. It helps the timer or electronic control operate correctly by dropping voltage to safe, design-intended levels.

• Provides precise resistance to reduce voltage/current in the designated dryer circuit
• Supports proper operation of the timer, control board, or end-of-cycle signal (varies by model)
• Failure may present as a timer that won't advance, an inoperative signal/buzzer, or irregular cycle behavior
• Replace if visibly burned/damaged or if testing shows an open or shorted condition

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Access the console/wiring harness and note original wire routing
• Make secure, insulated connections and route the resistor/leads exactly as original to avoid heat or chafing
• After installation, run a test cycle to ensure proper operation of the affected function
