The Power Cord is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool electric dryers. Extending from the rear of the unit, the durable cord safely channels the high current needed for power cycles and airflow. With a heat-resistant jacket and contact plug construction, the cord withstands ambient temperatures well beyond its warranty. 

Causes of a bad power cord involve flex fatigue through repeated positioning and weakening internal wires. Normal drying heat cycles may degrade insulating layers.

Symptoms of a bad power cord include:

• Intermittent function or failure to start due to loose connections
• Tripped circuit breaker following appliance connection  
• Buzzing or humming issuing from cord during use

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with KitchenAid, Maytag, Amana, Roper, and Admiral dryers.

• Prevents leaks or dripping at hose junctions caused by loose fittings
• Reduces hose movement and vibration that can lead to wear or disconnection
• Works wherever a small appliance hose clamp is required

• Turn off and unplug the appliance and shut off water supply before starting
• Release hose pressure and drain residual water before removing the old clamp
• Use appropriate pliers or a screwdriver for the clamp type; avoid over-tightening
