The Lint Screen Door is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. It is located at the front of the dryer and provides easy access to the lint screen. It helps to trap lint and debris from the drying process, preventing it from entering the dryer vent and potentially causing clogs or fire hazards.

Causes of a faulty or damaged lint screen door can include regular wear and tear, physical damage, or improper handling. These factors can result in issues such as difficulty in opening or closing the door, a loose or insecure fit, or reduced effectiveness in capturing lint.

Symptoms of a bad lint screen door may include:

• Difficulty in opening or closing the door
• Loose or wobbly door fit
• Lint bypassing the lint screen and accumulating in the dryer vent

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

Designed for use in dryers, the gas valve assembly is a part with solenoids or coils. These are used to close and open the valve that controls how much gas flows through the internal parts of the dryer. The gas valve assembly is made of strong materials but can become damaged or worn out. When this occurs, the dryer may not longer create heat during a cycle. If this happens, test the coils using a multimeter. If the reading is not within 1,000 to 2,000 ohms, the gas valve assembly should be replaced.Before starting, unplug the dryer from the wall and shut off the gas supply. Remove the lint screen from the housing and use a screwdriver to take out the screws in the housing. Disassemble the dryer to gain access to the gas valve and coils. Remove the screws from the mounting bracket to detach this part. Replace with the new component and test before use.The gas valve assembly is designed to be used with dryers by Kenmore, Maytag, and Amana. This genuine OEM part is directly sourced from the manufacturer. It is priced as a single unit.
