Kenmore / Sears Dryer Parts

Plastic drum baffle that lifts and tumbles clothes during drying. Replace if cracked, broken, detached, or missing from inside your dryer drum.

Supplies electrical power from wall outlet to refrigerator. Replace this cord if cut, frayed, overheated, or damaged to restore safe electrical connection.

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 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

This is a fastener and retainer assembly that secures the blower wheel to the motor shaft inside a dryer. It keeps the blower wheel firmly in place so it can properly circulate hot air through the drum and out the exhaust vent. Replace this assembly if the blower wheel wobbles, makes rattling or squealing noises, or if the retainer nut is stripped or broken, causing poor airflow and longer drying times.

Securely mounts your dryer above your washer to save floor space. Includes brackets, adhesive pads, and hardware for safe installation. Replaces lost kits.

LED light bulb for refrigerator and freezer compartments. Replace when lighting fails or dims. Verify fit by checking your model number compatibility.

Seals the dryer door perimeter to contain heat and prevent air leaks. Replace if damaged, stretched, or pulled off during cycles. Confirm fit with your model.

Dryer won't start or makes squealing noise? A faulty motor assembly stops operation or causes loud grinding sounds. Moderate DIY repair restores function.

Seals the dryer door to contain heat and prevent air leaks. Replace if torn, cracked, or causing poor drying performance. Confirm fit with your model.

The Electrode is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. It is responsible for detecting the moisture levels in your laundry during the drying cycle, allowing the dryer to automatically adjust the drying time and temperature. It helps prevent over-drying or under-drying of your clothes, saving energy and protecting them from potential damage.

A bad electrode can occur due to wear and tear, damage, or a buildup of debris or lint. If you notice symptoms such as clothes taking longer to dry, the dryer shutting off prematurely, or inconsistent drying results, it may be time to replace the moisture sensor bar electrode.

Symptoms of a bad electrode include:

• Clothes taking longer to dry than usual
• The dryer shutting off prematurely
• Inconsistent drying results, with some items remaining damp

Repair your dryer by replacing the faulty or damaged electrode with this genuine OEM part.

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

Replacement screw for securing panels, brackets, and internal components. Needed when original hardware is stripped, missing, or damaged during repairs.

This is a small screw, and it is made for dryers, washers, and washer dryer combos. This is a genuine replacement part made by General Electric. Screws are common in these appliances and can cause many difficulties if they become loose, damaged, or missing.A new screw might be needed if there are areas in the appliance that seem off balance or not level. Another way to tell if a new screw is needed is if there are parts in the appliance that are loose or falling off. This is common over many years of normal use as the shaking of washers and dryers can eventually lead to loose screws. Be sure the washer or dryer is completely off before attempting to replace any screws.This is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is sold individually and is compatible with washers, dryers, and washer dryer combos made by General Electric.

Dryer won't shut off or advance through cycles? This timer restores proper cycle switching and automatic shut-off. Moderate DIY repair, 30-45 minutes.

Indicator light lens covers the pilot lamp opening on your range control panel. Replace when cracked, discolored, or missing to restore visibility.

This replacement door handle restores a secure, comfortable grip on your front-load washer door. Swap out a cracked or missing handle to open and close the door smoothly and keep laundry moving without hassle.

• Provides the handhold needed to open and close the washer door
• Replaces handles that are cracked, broken, or loose
• Helps when the door is difficult to open because the handle is damaged
• Restores the appliance's finished appearance

• Disconnect power before servicing.
• Work with the door supported on a flat surface for easier reassembly.
• Remove screws to separate the door halves, replace the handle, and reassemble.
