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.

The Moisture Sensor is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This part detects the moisture level in the clothing during the drying cycle, allowing the dryer to adjust the drying time accordingly. 

Causes of a bad moisture sensor can include regular wear and tear, buildup of lint or residue, or physical damage. 

Symptoms of a bad moisture sensor include:

• Clothes taking longer to dry or coming out still damp
• The dryer not stopping when clothes are dry
• The dryer shutting off prematurely
• Inconsistent drying results

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

The Terminal Block is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. It is responsible for distributing electricity to key components that control drying operations.

• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; do not overtighten
• Use a matching driver bit to avoid damaging the screw head

The Temperature Selector Switch is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. This electro-mechanical switch allows consumers to choose between heat settings that adequately dry different fabric types.

Causes of a damaged selector switch can include regular wear from hundreds of cycles over the appliance's lifetime. Mineral deposits accumulating inside linkage mechanics may cause rotational movements to stiffen. The physical impacts of shifting internal contact positions could potentially lead to switching issues as well.

Symptoms of a faulty temperature selector involve:

• Inability to change heat level for desired drying performance  
• Temperature remaining stuck on highest or lowest settings
• Lint filter or duct cleaning lights failing to illuminate properly

This OEM replacement is compatible with some Kenmore and KitchenAid electric dryer models too.

Over time, terminal block screws can become loose, corroded, or damaged due to regular use or electrical issues. If the terminal block screws are compromised, it can lead to electrical problems or even pose a safety hazard.

Symptoms of a faulty terminal block screw kit include:

• Intermittent power or failure of heating/fan elements to engage  
• Repeated blowing of internal fuses or tripping of circuit breakers
• Hot terminal connections detected during operation
• Arc flashes, sparks, or smoke seen around the control panel area

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

The Whirlpool screw is an OEM replacement part responsible for securing various components or parts on different types of Whirlpool appliances. The screw is designed to provide a secure and reliable fastening connection, ensuring that different parts of the appliance stay in place.
