This power relay is an electromechanical switch with a 48 VDC coil that lets the control board safely turn high-voltage components on and off. Replacing a weak or sticking relay helps restore consistent, reliable operation. What it does:

• Uses a 48 VDC coil signal from the control to open/close internal contacts
• Switches AC line power to high-demand loads (e.g., heater, motor, fan, or compressor)
• Helps maintain stable cycling and prevents intermittent operation
• Helps with symptoms such as no heat or no run, intermittent operation, clicking with no activation, or a component stuck on

• Power relay (48 VDC coil)

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing; allow capacitors to discharge
• Note/photograph wire locations and move wires one at a time to matching terminals
• Ensure terminals are fully seated; replace any burnt or loose connectors
• Mount in the original orientation and secure firmly to prevent vibration

This Dryer Drying Rack creates a stationary shelf inside the drum so items that shouldn't tumble—like shoes, sweaters, and hats—can dry gently. Replace a missing or damaged rack to restore safe, non-tumble drying capability.

• Provides a stable platform inside the dryer for items that need to stay still while drying
• Helps reduce wear, scuffing, and noise from tumbling delicate or bulky items
• Restores function when the original rack is cracked, warped, or missing
• Common symptoms: rack won't seat/lock, sits unevenly, or items won't stay on the rack

• Disconnect power before installing
• Open the door and seat the rack so the rear support engages the back ledge/slots and the front rests on the door opening
• Ensure the rack is secure and clear of the rotating drum; load items evenly
• Remove the rack before returning to normal tumble cycles

This belt restrainer is the small guide that keeps the dryer's drive belt on the motor pulley. It prevents the belt from walking off during operation, supporting consistent drum rotation and reducing premature belt wear. What it does:

• Guides and retains the drive belt on the motor pulley
• Helps maintain proper belt tracking with the idler assembly
• Can help with symptoms like drum not turning, belt repeatedly slipping off, burning rubber smell, or frayed belt edges

• 1 belt restrainer

• Disconnect power; for gas dryers, also shut off the gas supply
• Access the motor area per your model (remove front or lower access panel)
• Position the restrainer adjacent to the motor pulley with slight clearance to the belt; route the belt correctly around drum, idler, and motor
• Hand-rotate the drum to confirm alignment before reassembly and testing
