Maytag Dryer Parts

Dryer won't power on or controls aren't responding? This control transformer converts line voltage to power timers, relays, and sensors. Moderate DIY repair.

This 5-foot flexible aluminum vent hose is a bendable, accordion-style exhaust duct that connects your dryer's exhaust outlet to the wall vent, allowing for easy routing around obstacles in tight laundry spaces. The flexible design lets you position the dryer close to the wall even when the vent connection is not perfectly aligned. Replace this hose if it is crushed, torn, or disconnected, as a damaged hose can cause poor drying performance, excess heat buildup, or a lint fire hazard.

Dryer drum not spinning or rotating slowly? This drive motor rotates the belt that spins the drum. Moderate DIY repair restores normal operation.

This assembly includes the roller shaft and rear support bracket that holds a drum support roller in place inside the dryer. It allows the drum to rotate smoothly on its rear support rollers. Replace this part if the dryer is making squealing, thumping, or rumbling noises, or if the existing shaft is worn, bent, or seized.

This blower wheel attaches to the motor shaft inside the dryer and draws heated air through the drum and out the exhaust vent. It is typically made of plastic or composite material with angled fins designed to create strong airflow. Replace this part if the dryer takes too long to dry clothes, makes squealing or rattling noises, or produces weak airflow at the exhaust vent.

Blower housing assembly that directs airflow from the drum to the exhaust vent. Replace if cracked, damaged, or causing excessive noise in your dryer.

Molded elbow connector that redirects dryer exhaust to your home vent duct. Replace if cracked, loose, or leaking to restore a secure connection.

Adjustable periscope vent for dryers with limited clearance. Installs between dryer exhaust and wall port. Replace if cracked, damaged, or missing.

Dryer rack holds delicate items flat inside the drum for air-drying without tumbling. Replace your cracked, broken, or missing rack to safely dry shoes, sweaters, and toys.

The dryer grounding clip is a small metal fastener that maintains a secure electrical ground connection between components inside your dryer. A proper ground is essential for safe operation and helps protect against electrical shock or appliance damage. Replace this part if it is bent, corroded, or missing, especially if you are experiencing intermittent electrical issues or completing a repair that requires re-grounding internal parts.

The Bulkhead is an OEM component for Whirlpool dryers. As a structural panel, it secures the rear of the appliance while enabling airflow behind sliding doors. 

Formed from durable composite, the lightweight bulkhead installs easily into precise slotted tracks inside the chassis. This allows full retraction during maintenance without removing additional panels. 

Causes of a faulty bulkhead can include cracked welds or screws stripping their anchors from extreme force vibration over many years of use.

Causes of a bad bulkhead can include:

• Noisy rattling and resonance as the dryer operates  
• Restricted door movement from misalignment
• Inability to fully access internal components  
• Excessive ducting leaks from gasket compression failure

Replace yours with this genuine Whirlpool bulkhead to restore smooth, tight operation. Compatible with Kenmore, Maytag, and KitchenAid dryers.
