Replacement door hinge for dryers. Secures and aligns the door to the cabinet. Replace if cracked, broken, sagging, or causing door misalignment.
I ordered the hinge on the weekend and it came on Tuesday in the late Morning. I loved how quick it arrived. The swap out of the part took 10 minutes using a batter powered driver, a #2 Phillips tip and a T-25 tip. If you use hand tools, it will take a few minutes longer. If I would have realized how easy it was, I would have replaced it when it started sagging instead of waiting for it to break. Read more
Front drum felt seal prevents clothes from catching between the drum and dryer interior. Replace if worn or damaged. Confirm fit with your model number.
Took the whole dryer apart to access the wheels (4) of them, belt and fan wheel, also had to clean all the lint out that somehow builds up inside the dryer. Plus cleaned out dryer duct vent, added to the time involved. If you are planning on fixing the dryer because of a noise which was in my case, I highly recommend buy all the parts for complete maintenance mentioned above. What helped save me time? I watch a dryer fan wheel replacement training video first, highly recommend this!... Read more
Pivoting bracket arm that suspends the idler pulley and routes the drive belt in your dryer. Replace if cracked, bent, or worn to restore proper operation.
I replaced drum rollers, axle shafts and front bearing kit. Still had noise. Ordered Idler Arm, Belt Tension Pulley & Washers.

Back up and running with silence in an 1/2 hour. My 13 year old dryer is running like new again. Way cheaper than calling a repairman. Read more
Dryer won't heat? A broken heating element is the most common cause. This coil provides heat for drying cycles. DIY repair typically takes 1-2 hours.
I took off the front cover and checked the sensors which were all good. Then I removed the cover for the heating coil after finding that it appeared open. Found that the coil had in fact broken but the break was not visible just by looking in. Located the break in the coil within an insulator near the back. I checked appliance stores locally and found the coil for far more than Appliance Parts Pros wanted for it. I placed an order after chatting with a tech, I placed and order and had it in... Read more
The Spring Idler is an OEM replacement part for Speed Queen residential clothes dryers. It works with the dryer drum to facilitate the controlled tumbling of laundry items during the drying cycle. Proper functioning is important for efficiency and effectiveness. Causes of a bad spring idler can include material fatigue from years of repetitive use. It can also result from overloading the dryer with excessively heavy wet loads that put abnormal stress on the idler mechanism. Symptoms of a failed spring idler include:
As the mechanism responsible for facilitating optimal tumbling, this OEM Speed Queen replacement idler spring restores smooth and efficient dryer operation.
For about the last month or so the clothes (especially sheets) would just roll into a ball (like a big sausage) the wouldn't dry. Kept readjusting the clothes. I went on the internet to see what the issue could be and found lots of advise about shaking out the sheet and clothes first, using tennis balls, and using fuller or smaller loads. None of that worked. But I finally figured out that the reason they roll into a ball is because the belt around the drum is slipping or stretched. This... Read more

Dryer won't shut off or advance through cycles? A faulty timer prevents automatic cycle progression. Moderate DIY repair restores timed operation.
Replaced timer, thermostat, a thermal fuse, the pair of thermal cutoff switches and finally the heater element. Hard to say what the final fix was that did the trick -- I am guessing it was the heater element although the old one appeared to have good continuity. All praise goes to the on line chat Pros Erica B and Robin C that took considerable amount of time and effort to help me decipher the problem. For that alone, Appliance Parts Pros will be my go to source for appliance parts for the... Read more

The Water Temperature Sensor is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This sensor ensures the water is reaching the proper temperature at each stage of the wash cycle. Note: The sensor does not include the seal WP8540766. Order separately if needed.
Causes of a bad temperature sensor can be failures over time due to mechanical wear, thermal stress on electronic components, or damage from leaks/flooding inside the unit.
Symptoms of a bad water temperature sensor include:
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
Replace the water temperature sensor and still had the error code. While I had the back of the machine open I ran the washer. I traced the black wires from the temperature sensor and wiggled them as the washer was running. At one zip tie every time i moved the wires the washer would stop running and the error code would flash. Sure enough, like many others posted, the vibration from the machine had split the wire. I spiced the wire back together and have not had a problem since. Read more

The Igniter is an OEM part designed specifically for Whirlpool brand gas dryers. It produces the spark to ignite the burner and initiate drying cycles. If your original ignitor was round, also order bracket 37001309.
Symptoms of a faulty igniter include:
Potential causes involve typical wear from repeated sparking over many heating cycles. Mineral deposits or moisture intrusion can reduce effectiveness as well.
Compatible models include some brands produced by Amana, KitchenAid, and Kenmore.
After verifying the no heat problem myself, I just googled "LG3412W no heat" with my smartphone and thumb. One of the first hits was the Appliance Parts Pros website with a list of 8 possible parts that might fix this problem, listed in descending order of likelihood of success. With 3 adults worth of dirty laundry piling up and straining our ability to drip dry, I had to agonize over: 1) buying a new dryer from whatever a local dealer had in stock, then clearing years of valuable junk in...

This is a control knob used on dryers, typically for the timer or cycle selector. It attaches to the timer shaft and allows you to select drying cycles and settings. Replace this knob if it is cracked, broken, or if the D-shaped mounting hole has worn out, causing the knob to spin freely without engaging the timer shaft.
I followed YouTube for instructions. Had a slight problem removing stems, but got it done. Read more
