Kenmore Dryer 110.97589840 (11097589840, 110 97589840) 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 multi-vent plug seals an unused vent opening to stop unwanted airflow and keep the appliance interior protected. It's a direct-fit replacement designed to restore proper venting and help prevent drafts, debris, and pests. What it does:

• Plugs an unused multi-vent opening to prevent air leakage and drafts
• Helps keep dust, lint, and small debris out of the appliance vent path
• Reduces the chance of pest entry through an open vent
• Restores the intended vent configuration after service or part removal

• Disconnect power or gas to the appliance before servicing for safety
• Install by aligning and pressing the plug firmly into the vent opening until seated
• Do not force if resistance is excessive; inspect for obstructions or damage
• Replace damaged parts before installing the plug

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

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 exhaust pipe routes exhaust air from the appliance to the home vent, restoring proper airflow for safe, efficient operation. Use when the original pipe is cracked, bent, or leaking. What it does:

• Channels exhaust gases and lint from the appliance to the external vent
• Prevents exhaust leaks that can cause poor drying or cooking performance
• Helps maintain correct airflow to reduce overheating and moisture buildup
• Fits where a damaged or corroded exhaust connection needs replacement

• One exhaust pipe

• Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before servicing; follow appliance safety procedures
• Inspect surrounding seals and clamps; replace clamps or ducting if damaged
• Secure pipe with OEM-recommended fasteners and ensure vent path is clear

This exhaust pipe vents hot, moist air from the dryer to the home venting system, helping the appliance dry clothes efficiently and reduce indoor humidity. Replace a damaged or restricted pipe to restore proper airflow. What it does:

• Channels dryer exhaust air safely from the appliance to the exterior vent
• Helps prevent overheating and long dry times caused by restricted airflow
• Reduces lint buildup in the appliance by providing a clear vent path
• Commonly replaced when cracked, crushed, kinked, or badly corroded

• Disconnect power to electric dryers; shut off gas supply and disconnect for gas dryers before servicing
• Inspect existing vent path for additional damage or lint buildup and clean before installing
• Position pipe without sharp bends or kinks and secure with appropriate clamps or fasteners

This cable tie secures wiring and the power cord to the appliance chassis to help prevent chafing, pinching, or loose connections. Simple, low-cost part that restores proper wire routing and strain relief. What it does

• Holds wiring and harnesses in place to prevent rubbing against sharp edges
• Helps reduce risk of intermittent power or connector strain caused by loose wires
• Keeps harnesses routed for correct clearance and component access
• Useful during repairs to restore original wire routing and strain relief

• One cable tie (wire harness retainer)

• Safety first: disconnect the appliance from power before inspecting or replacing wiring components
• Remove the damaged or existing retainer and route harnesses to match original OEM routing before installing the new tie
• Trim excess tie tail; do not overtighten—secure, but avoid crushing wires
• Replace any tie that's melted, cracked, or otherwise damaged rather than reusing it
