This screw is used to secure the handle end cap to the center of the door. The screw size measures 8-18 x 1/2 inches.

This heater assembly provides the high heat source used to dry clothes faster by warming the air inside the dryer. It replaces a failed or damaged heating element to restore normal drying performance and temperature. What it does:

• Generates the heated air needed for effective drying
• Commonly replaced when dryer produces little or no heat
• Can cause tripped thermal cutoff or heating-circuit issues when failed

• One heater (heating element) assembly as shown

• Disconnect power before starting; this part involves live-voltage components
• Inspect associated thermostats, fuses, and wiring; replace faulty safety parts as required
• Handle the element carefully — edges may be sharp and terminals can be damaged by rough handling

This fan scroll is the molded blower housing that directs airflow from the motor to the exhaust path, restoring proper air movement for drying, cooling, or ventilation. It replaces a cracked, warped, or clogged scroll to improve airflow and system performance. What it does:

• Channels and concentrates air from the blower wheel toward the exhaust or heat exchanger
• Helps maintain proper airflow for efficient drying/cooling operations
• Can resolve symptoms like reduced airflow, longer cycle times, or overheating due to restricted flow
• Reduces air turbulence and abnormal noises caused by a damaged or misaligned housing

• One fan scroll

• Disconnect power before beginning any repairs to avoid shock or injury
• Installation typically requires access to the blower/motor compartment; follow OEM service instructions
• Inspect the blower wheel and motor shaft for damage or debris while replacing the housing
• Handle carefully to avoid bending or cracking the new scroll; reassemble panels and seals to maintain proper airflow

The Motor-Evap DC is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. As the evaporator fan motor, it is responsible for circulating air within the refrigerator compartment.

Causes of a bad evaporator fan motor can include normal wear and tear over time, overheating due to inadequate ventilation or dust buildup restricting airflow, or failure due to power surges or spikes.

Symptoms of a bad evaporator fan motor include:

• Inadequate or inconsistent air circulation and cooling within the refrigerator
• Frost or ice buildup due to stagnant air
• Unpleasant odors from lack of air movement
• Abnormally high energy usage
• Strange noises emanating from the cooling system

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

This retainer secures the dryer fan motor to its housing so the blower assembly stays aligned and runs quietly. Replacing a worn retainer restores proper motor mounting and reduces vibration or rubbing noise. What it does:

• Holds the fan motor in place to maintain correct blower alignment
• Prevents the motor or fan from shifting, which can cause noise or rubbing
• Helps avoid airflow loss that can lead to poor drying performance
• Reduces vibration that can stress mounts and fasteners

• One fan motor retainer

• Disconnect power before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Basic hand tools are usually required; retain original fasteners unless replacements are provided
• Inspect surrounding mounts and the blower wheel for damage while accessing the motor

The Evaporator Fan Motor Blade is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is a crucial component of the refrigerator's cooling system, attached to the evaporator fan motor to circulate air over the evaporator coils. This circulation helps distribute cold air throughout the refrigerator and freezer compartments, ensuring consistent temperatures and efficient operation.

Symptoms of a bad Evaporator Fan Motor Blade include:

• Unusual noise coming from the fan area, indicating the blade may be hitting another component or is unbalanced,
• Insufficient cooling in the refrigerator or freezer compartments,
• The refrigerator running longer than usual to maintain the desired temperature.

Causes of evaporator fan motor blade failure typically include physical damage from interference with other components, wear from continuous use, or buildup of ice or debris that unbalances the blade.

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

This heater pan is the stamped metal mounting tray that supports the dryer's heating element and helps route airflow for proper drying. It replaces a damaged or corroded pan to restore correct heater placement and airflow. What it does:

• Provides a stable mounting surface for the dryer heating element assembly
• Helps direct heated air through the dryer cabinet for efficient drying
• Prevents the heating element from contacting other components
• Can reduce rubbing or vibration noises caused by a warped or broken pan
• Common symptom link: dryer not heating properly, unusual noises, or visible damage/corrosion to the pan

• One heater pan

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Some panels or components must be removed to access the heater pan; keep track of fasteners
• Handle sheet metal carefully—edges may be sharp

Size: 1/4 inch hex head, 10-12 x 1/2 inch.

This bracket provides a secure mounting point for internal appliance components, restoring proper alignment and reducing vibration for smooth operation. Use it to replace a worn, bent or missing support bracket. What it does:

• Secures panels, assemblies or components to the appliance frame to prevent movement
• Restores proper alignment and fit where a bracket has failed or been removed
• Helps eliminate rattling, vibration or misaligned parts caused by a damaged bracket
• Simple, passive component—no electrical function

• Bracket

• Disconnect power (and water, if applicable) before starting any repair
• Inspect mounting holes and mating surfaces for damage before installing
• Reuse or replace original fasteners as appropriate; tighten securely but avoid over-torquing

This insul-sound deadening pad reduces vibration and noise by dampening panels and components in laundry and kitchen appliances. It's a small adhesive-backed sound/isolation pad used where noise or rattles transfer through metal surfaces. What it does

• Dampens rattles and reduces structure-borne noise from panels, cabinets and housings.
• Helps isolate vibrating components from appliance chassis to lower perceived sound.
• Commonly applied behind control panels, cabinet walls or on motor mounts to cut vibration transmission.
• Useful when worn, detached or hardened factory pads allow increased noise.

• One insul-sound deadening pad

• Disconnect power before servicing an appliance to avoid shock or injury.
• Clean and dry mounting surface; press pad firmly to ensure adhesive contact.
• Replace only in the original location; do not cover vents or moving parts.
• If adhesive is weak, use OEM-approved adhesive; avoid solvents that may damage finishes.
