Stewart F July 13, 2025 for Model Number Whirlpool dryer model: LGN1000PQ0 My dryer is missing a baffle; it currently has one short baffle and one tall baffle. Also, this dryer was in my home when I bought it, and I'm not sure its age. I've seen some customers on other sites say that even when ordering the part that matched their model, it seemed to be for newer versions of that model. Is that something I should worry about? Thank you for your help!
1 Answer Stewart F, Thank you for your question. The correct part number for the baffle that you would need will be WP692490. There will be 2 long and one short. Read More...
Edward December 19, 2023 for Model Number DLG2251W one baffle became detached. is it safe to use the dryer with 2 baffles
1 Answer Edward, it is recommended that all three baffles 4432EL1002A are in place. A missing baffle can affect the dryer's performance and if there are any burs where one attaches, it can snag onto clothes. Read More...
Confused March 06, 2023 for Model Number MDE9606AYW When ordering a replacement dryer baffle the link for the replacement screws notes that the manufacturer discontinued them. In various reviews it is answered that one can go to a hardware store and buy #9-15 inch screws to use instead. Well, when I went to Home Depot the machine screws were all in even number sizes, such as #8 or #10 and I didn't see any that had a 15 after the 8 or 10. The only #9 screws I found (in store or online) were for roofing. So, what size/type of screws are to be used when replacing a short dryer baffle in a Maytag dryer model MDE9606AYW?
1 Answer Confused, as the original screw is a #9-15x1 screw 33002973 that has been discontinued, the only other option would be taking a screw from another baffle and using it as a comparison for diameter and thread type. The length would need to be 1" though. Read More...

Kees June 09, 2019 for Model Number MDE5500AYW I need new drum baffles for my clothes dryer with the number indicated. I noticed that it currently has TWO tall ones (AP6007958) and ONE short one (AP6007937). Does this even make sense? Shouldn't they all be the same?
1 Answer Kees, the use of the two heights allow for an efficient lift and distribution of the clothes when they are tumbling during a drying cycle. The two tall baffles WP33002032 and the short baffle WP33001755 are going to work to allow for the most efficient drying in the design of your model. Read More...
