Maytag Dryer 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.

Side and bottom exhaust kit.

This 6-foot dryer vent duct connects your dryer's exhaust outlet to the wall vent. It provides a secure path for moist air to exit the home, helping maintain airflow and consistent drying performance. What it does:

• Vents hot, moist air from the dryer to the exterior
• Replaces crushed, torn, or lint-clogged ducting
• Helps address longer dry times, heat buildup/shut-offs, or moisture and lint around the dryer
• Supports a short, direct run to reduce kinks and airflow restrictions

• One 6-foot dryer vent duct

• Disconnect power; for gas models, turn off the gas supply before starting
• Pull the dryer forward and remove old ducting and lint/debris from connections
• Attach the duct fully to the dryer outlet and wall vent and secure with clamps; avoid sharp bends or crushing
• Move the dryer back carefully and confirm strong airflow at the exterior vent hood

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

WPL VENT KIT, 4-WAY ULT

This dryer blower housing encloses the blower wheel and directs air from the drum through the lint filter to the exhaust vent. Replacing a damaged housing restores proper airflow for consistent drying and helps keep lint contained within the airflow path.

• Encloses and supports the blower wheel while channeling air from the drum to the exhaust
• Maintains correct airflow and back pressure for efficient drying performance
• Replace if the housing is cracked, warped, melted, or otherwise damaged
• Typical symptoms include weak vent airflow, longer dry times, rattling or scraping from the blower area, or visible lint leakage

• Disconnect power; if gas, also shut off the gas supply
• Access the blower area by removing the lower/front panel and lint ducting as required by your model
• Transfer the blower wheel and any brackets from the old housing; clean lint from ducts before reassembly
• Ensure the housing seats fully and all duct connections are tight; spin the blower by hand to verify clearance before restoring power

Replace a damaged collector duct to restore proper ventilation airflow. This kit channels air from the appliance's intake to the exhaust path, helping reduce leaks, noise, and recirculation for consistent capture performance.

• Directs airflow from the intake/collector to the exhaust duct path
• Helps maintain proper airflow and capture efficiency
• Provides a sealed transition to minimize air leaks and recirculation
• Common symptoms: poor vent suction, smoke/steam lingering, rattling vibrations, visible damage or gaps

• Disconnect power at the breaker; shut off gas before servicing
• Wear cut-resistant gloves—sheet-metal edges can be sharp
• Note airflow orientation and gasket locations; dry-fit before fastening
• Seal joints with UL-listed foil HVAC tape; do not use cloth duct tape

This exhaust kit connects the appliance's blower outlet to exterior ductwork, restoring smooth, directed airflow. Replacing a damaged or missing adapter helps clear steam, smoke, and odors more effectively and reduces recirculated air. What it does:

• Couples the blower outlet to the home's exhaust ducting for outside venting
• Helps guide airflow in the correct direction during fan operation
• Addresses weak venting, air leaking at the grille, or rattling from the vent path
• Replaces cracked, warped, or missing exhaust-adapter components

• One exhaust kit

• Disconnect power before servicing; allow hot surfaces to cool
• Dry-fit parts, then secure per manufacturer instructions; seal joints with foil HVAC tape
• Use rigid metal duct where required; avoid sharp bends and crushed ducts; wear cut-resistant gloves

This out exhaust pipe directs a dryer's exhaust airflow from the appliance to the home vent, helping remove moisture and lint from the dryer cabinet. Durable replacement for worn or damaged exhaust tubing. What it does:

• Channels hot, moist air from the dryer to the external vent to prevent moisture buildup
• Helps maintain proper airflow for efficient drying and reduces lint accumulation inside the cabinet
• Replaces cracked, crushed, or disconnected exhaust connections that cause poor venting or air leaks
• Works as a direct-fit plumbing piece when original exhaust piping is damaged

• One out exhaust pipe

• Disconnect power to the appliance before installing; for gas dryers, turn off gas supply and pilot per manufacturer instructions
• Ensure the pipe fits securely to the dryer outlet and the wall vent; use manufacturer-recommended clamps or fasteners
• Inspect and clean the vent path and lint screen while replacing the pipe to ensure safe airflow

This elbow is a molded hose connector that redirects fluid or airflow in the appliance, restoring proper routing for drainage or vent lines. It helps stop leaks and maintains correct hose alignment for reliable operation. What it does

• Redirects hose or duct routing at an angle to fit tight spaces
• Restores a secure connection where a cracked or broken elbow causes leaks
• Helps prevent kinks or pinched hoses that can cause poor drainage or reduced airflow
• Supports proper sealing when used with the correct clamps or gaskets

• One elbow connector

• Disconnect power and shut off water before replacing the part
• Inspect mating hose ends and clamps; replace damaged hoses or clamps for a secure seal
• Ensure correct orientation and fully seat the elbow before tightening clamps
• Do not force the part into place; confirm fit and alignment to avoid stress or leaks

This blower housing encloses the dryer's blower wheel and routes air from the drum through the lint system to the exhaust. Replacing a cracked or warped housing restores proper airflow, reduces vibration, and helps resolve extended dry times.

• Encloses and supports the blower wheel while channeling intake and exhaust airflow
• Helps maintain consistent drying performance and temperature regulation
• Typical failure symptoms: longer cycles, weak vent airflow, excess lint inside the cabinet, scraping or rattling near the blower
• Visual clues: cracks, broken mounting tabs, or housing out-of-round causing wheel contact

• Disconnect power; for gas units, also shut off the gas supply
• Access from the front: remove front panel and lint duct to reach the blower assembly
• Transfer the blower wheel, gasket/seals, and mounting hardware from the original housing as needed
• Seat the housing squarely; the blower wheel spins freely and clear lint buildup before reassembly
