This felt kit seals the gap between the dryer drum and bulkhead to maintain proper airflow and smooth, quiet rotation. Replacing a worn seal can reduce noise, help prevent snags, and restore consistent drying performance.

• Forms a drum-to-bulkhead seal to keep heated air in the proper airflow path
• Cushions drum movement to minimize scraping or squealing sounds
• Helps prevent clothing from catching at the drum edge
• Common signs of wear: frayed or missing felt, visible gaps, unusual noise, longer dry times

• Disconnect power; turn off gas supply if applicable
• Access the drum and bulkhead; support the drum during service
• Remove the old seal and any residue; install the new felt evenly around the circumference
• After reassembly, rotate the drum by hand to ensure smooth contact and proper alignment

This machine screw is used across appliances to secure brackets, covers, and internal components. Replacing a missing or stripped fastener helps keep parts aligned and tight, reducing vibration and preventing loose or shifting assemblies.

• Provides machine-thread fastening for panels, brackets, and internal parts
• Helps eliminate rattling, vibration, and loose fits
• Restores proper attachment when the original screw is stripped, missing, or corroded
• Used wherever an 8-32 screw is specified in the service manual or parts list

• Disconnect power to the appliance; turn off gas/water if applicable
• Match the screw to the original location to confirm size and thread
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; use the correct driver
• Tighten snugly—do not overtighten to prevent stripping or cracking

This U-type nut clips over a sheet-metal edge to create a durable threaded anchor for a screw. It helps secure panels, trim, and brackets so fasteners hold tight and components stay aligned and rattle-free. What it does:

• Clips onto thin sheet metal to provide captive threads where a standard nut cannot be used
• Holds screws securely to fasten panels, trim pieces, or mounting brackets
• Addresses issues like loose panels, missing/broken clips, or screws that will not tighten
• Helps reduce vibration and rattling from unsecured components

• 1 U-type nut

• Disconnect power and shut off gas/water before servicing

• Replace any damaged or corroded hardware to ensure a secure hold

The Thermostat is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. The thermostat monitors the air temperature in the dryer drum and signals to the control system when to activate or deactivate heating elements.

Causes of a failing thermostat can include normal wear and tear over time. As the thermostat undergoes frequent temperature fluctuations with each use, components may gradually degrade. Physical damage from accidental impact is another potential cause.

Symptoms of a bad thermostat include:

• Inability to increase air temperature above a certain point
• Overheating errors
• Slow or incomplete drying even on high heat settings
• Socks ending up damp after an entire cycle
