Customer Questions and Answers for Dryer Drum Baffle by Whirlpool

Amanda, The correct baffle mounting screw to order is WP33002973 / WP33002973, you will need two (2) screws per baffle. The parts are in stock and available at this time. Thanks,

Dave, You could measure the height of the remaining baffles. There should be 2 that are the same size and one that is larger.

Jerry, The manufacturer(s) set the price of the parts, not AppliancePartsPros.com. We do "mark up" the price, but it's usually below the MSRP. In most cases, except for "cosmetic" screws, they can be purchased at a local hardware store or home improvement center. We often times recommend that the screws be purchased in this manner to expedite the repair of a product.

Robyn, Baffles are "an intricate part of the drying cycle" the purpose is to separate the articles and improve the drying process and performance. But the"drying process" is the same whether the baffles are there or not, ( the articles would take longer to dry without baffles). If an average sized load of clothes are taking 30 to 40 minutes(or less) to properly dry, then you're doing fine with one baffle.

Hello Kay. W11684512 are the screws you need for the baffles. Make sure your using a number 2 Phillips to install them.
