Part Number: OEM18023883
Manufacturer Part Number: WP33002032

Note: For Baffle mounting screws, order part# W11684512.

The Dryer Drum Baffle is an OEM part for Whirlpool electric dryers. Located inside the dryer drum, this rectangular component divides the airflow and improves drying efficiency. During cycles, the baffle helps separate clothes and direct heat more uniformly for even moisture removal throughout the load. This is the taller baffle. For the short one order WP33001755

Causes of a bad drum baffle can include constant impact from heavy loads, wear and tear over time, or damage from foreign objects in the drum.

Symptoms of a bad drum baffle include:

  • Slow or prolonged drying times as air cannot circulate properly
  • Some areas of clothes feeling damp while others are dry
  • Lint or hair wrapping around a cracked or broken baffle
  • Noise or vibration from a damaged baffle hitting the drum wall

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

Angie, The screws are no longer available but the size of the screw is : #9-15 x 1 inch long. Hex head. Or remove another from a baffle and take it to the hardware store with you. The screws are all the same for all the baffles.

Hello Howard, You should have 2 tall baffles WP33002032 and one short WP33001755. These all use the same screws. I'm sorry but these screws WP33002973 have been discontinued by the manufacturer and no satisfactory substitutions have been provided. You should find the missing screws in the cabinet of the dryer when you open it since there is nowhere else for them to go. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.
