Manufacturer Part Number: WP8559751

The Door Handle is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. Located at the center of the dryer door, it allows for easy opening and closing during loading and unloading of wet clothes. Over time, handles can show wear from high-contact use.

Symptoms include:

  • Difficulty opening or closing the dryer door  
  • The handle snapping off from the door panel  
  • Loose fittings creating openings for lint to enter

Causes of handle failure range from use over many years of repetitive gripping to broken plastic from aggressive leaning or slamming. This replacement restores smooth, balanced function. 

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

Monica, Sorry but no there are no screws included with the replacement door handle. I'm guessing you will need the two door handle mounting screws W10850046, that way you'll have a spare, if something goes wrong. Good Luck and Thanks

Hello Neil. Open the dryer door and remove the two screws holding the old handle in place. Then put the new handle WP8559751 in place and install the screws. Hope this helps.
