Kenmore Dryer 110.97589110 (11097589110, 110 97589110) Parts

This drum baffle restores proper tumbling by lifting and separating laundry as the dryer drum rotates. It helps improve drying performance and reduces garment bunching. What it does:

• Lifts and tumbles clothes so air flows more evenly through the load
• Helps prevent garments from clumping or wrapping around the drum
• Can reduce rubbing, thumping, or scraping noises caused by a loose or damaged lifter
• Restores consistent drum contact and improves drying efficiency

• Disconnect power before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Access typically requires opening the dryer cabinet or front panel; small tools may be needed
• Align the baffle with factory mounting holes and secure with existing fasteners; use correct screws if replacements are required
• Inspect and replace worn drum or support parts as needed for reliable operation

The Door Seal is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool dryers. It works to create an airtight seal between the dryer door opening and drum interior. During operation, heated air and moisture are contained within the drum thanks to this crucial seal. 

Symptoms of a worn door seal include:

• Increased drying time due to air leaks
• Clothes not drying completely before end of cycle  
• Excess humidity escaping into home
• Discoloration or residue buildup on door glass

Causes of failure are normal wear and compression over extended use, or damage from improper door closure. A worn seal degrades efficiency and performance of the dryer.

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

This bulkhead is the front interior panel that supports the drum and helps direct dryer airflow for efficient tumbling and exhaust. It restores proper drum alignment and airflow when the original panel is worn or damaged. What it does:

• Provides a stable mounting surface for the drum and front bearing/glide assembly
• Helps channel air from the drum to the exhaust path for consistent drying
• Prevents drum wobble and rubbing that can cause noise or fabric wear
• Reduces air leaks and hot spots that can extend dry times or trigger heat issues

• One bulkhead panel

• Disconnect power and venting before beginning any repair
• Removing the front panel and drum is typically required to access and replace the bulkhead
• Inspect drum seals, rollers, and bearings while the dryer is open; replace any worn components
• Use appropriate tools and follow OEM instructions.

This bracket is used to attach and is included in the igniter kit. Save money by ordering the igniter kit 279311.

This elbow redirects a fluid or air line inside the appliance to allow routing around components and tight spaces. It restores proper flow path and helps stop leaks or blockages when the original elbow is cracked or worn. What it does:

• Provides a sealed change of direction for a water, drain, or vent line inside the appliance
• Replaces a cracked or broken elbow that can cause leaks, water pooling, or reduced flow
• Re-establishes the correct routing to prevent kinks and stress on connected hoses or tubing
• Helps eliminate intermittent draining or venting issues caused by a damaged fitting

• Disconnect power and shut off water supply before accessing the part
• Verify orientation and routing before removing the old elbow to ensure correct reinstallation
• Inspect and replace any worn clamps, gaskets, or hoses when installing the new elbow
• Tighten fittings to secure but avoid over-tightening which can crack plastic components

Replacement dryer drum that holds and tumbles laundry so air circulates evenly for efficient drying. Restores a smooth rotating drum surface to prevent fabric damage and improve drying performance. What it does:

• Houses and tumbles clothes while allowing heated air to pass through the load.
• Replaces a dented, cracked or scored drum that can catch or abrade fabric.
• Stops metal-on-metal scraping or grinding noises caused by a damaged drum surface.
• Helps eliminate uneven drying caused by a misshapen or warped drum.

• One replacement drum.

• Disconnect power (and gas supply for gas models) before starting any repair.
• Drum removal usually requires loosening the front panel and supporting the drum; consider a second person—the drum is heavy and awkward.
• Inspect and replace related components if worn to prevent repeat failures.
• Test-run the dryer after installation to ensure smooth rotation and proper clearance.

This blower housing directs dryer airflow from the drum to the exhaust for proper ventilation and consistent drying performance. It replaces a cracked or damaged housing to restore airflow and reduce noise. What it does:

• Channels heated air from the drum to the exhaust vent to maintain drying efficiency
• Helps support the blower wheel and keeps the wheel aligned for smooth operation
• Commonly replaced for reduced airflow, longer dry times, or unusual noise from the rear of the dryer
• Can prevent overheating caused by restricted or leaking airflow

• Disconnect power (and gas supply if applicable) before beginning repair
• Handle edges carefully; wear gloves to avoid cuts and protect the blower wheel
• Reassemble panels and test dryer on a short cycle to confirm airflow and quiet operation

This wire harness connects the gas valve and igniter assembly so the range/oven can receive ignition and control signals. It replaces a worn or damaged connector bundle to restore reliable ignition performance. What it does

• Routes power and control signals between the gas valve and the igniter/spark module
• Restores ignition function when factory wiring is frayed, cut, or has poor connections
• Helps eliminate intermittent sparking or failed ignition caused by damaged wiring
• Matches OEM wiring layout and connector end shapes for a direct replacement

• Disconnect electrical power and shut off gas supply before starting work
• Verify the harness matches your appliance by comparing connector shapes and wire colors to the original
• Route wires away from sharp edges and high-heat areas; secure with existing clips or ties

This replacement mounting screw secures appliance panels and small components to restore proper fit and reduce movement. It's a simple, direct part for repairing loose panels, trim, or interior assemblies. What it does:

• Fastens panels, brackets, or assemblies to prevent rattling and vibration
• Restores proper alignment for doors, control panels, or trim pieces
• Helps stop intermittent noise caused by loose hardware
• Use when original screw is missing, stripped, or corroded

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before beginning any repair
• Use the correct screwdriver bit and hand-tighten; avoid over-torquing which can strip threads
• Keep small parts away from children and pets; magnetic tray helps prevent loss
• If multiple screws are corroded or hardware threads are damaged, inspect mating parts and replace as needed
