The Washer Door Switch is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This component is crucial for ensuring the washer operates safely by detecting whether the door is open or closed. The door switch prevents the washer from starting or continuing its cycle when the door is open, and it allows the machine to function only when the door is securely closed.

Symptoms of a failing Washer Door Switch include:

• The washer not starting or stopping unexpectedly during a cycle
• Error codes related to door closure issues displayed on the washer's control panel
• The washer door not locking properly or the lock mechanism not engaging
• The washer continuing to operate with the door open

Causes of a bad door switch can include wear and tear from frequent use, damage from repeated opening and closing of the door, electrical faults such as short circuits, or physical damage from mishandling or impact.

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

The Door Switch Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This kit includes a door switch that plays a crucial safety and operational role in the dryer's function. It ensures that the dryer operates only when the door is firmly closed, preventing the machine from running with an open door, which could pose safety risks and inefficiency in the drying process.

The causes of door switch failure often include physical damage from slamming the dryer door, wear and tear over time, or electrical issues such as short circuits. 

Symptoms of a faulty Dryer Door Switch include:

• The dryer not starting when the door is closed 
• The dryer continuing to run when the door is opened, which poses a significant safety hazard.
• Unusual noises from the switch area 

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

The Dryer Door Latch Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. It ensures the dryer door stays securely closed during operation, allowing the dryer to function correctly and safely. This kit typically includes the latch, strike, and necessary mounting hardware for easy installation.

Causes of a bad door latch can include wear and tear from frequent use, accidental damage from forceful closing, or alignment issues due to the door being knocked out of place. A faulty latch can prevent the dryer from starting or cause it to stop mid-cycle if the door doesn't stay closed.

Symptoms of a bad dryer door latch include:

• The dryer door not staying closed
• The dryer not starting or stopping unexpectedly during a cycle
• Difficulty in closing or latching the door
• Loose or misaligned latch components

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

• The dryer drum not spinning or rotating
• Loud squeaking or grinding noises during the drying cycle
• Excessive vibration or shaking from the dryer
• Clothes taking longer to dry or remaining damp

Causes of a faulty drum belt can include normal wear and tear over time, exposure to excessive heat or lint buildup, or physical damage due to impact or mishandling.

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

The Thermal Fuse is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This safety device protects the dryer from overheating by cutting off power if the dryer exceeds a certain temperature. It is crucial for maintaining safe operation and preventing potential fire hazards. This thermal fuse has 1/4-inch terminals and operates around 243 degrees F. 

Causes of a bad thermal fuse include lint buildup causing overheating, blocked ventilation, or a malfunctioning thermostat. These issues can lead to the fuse blowing to prevent further damage or risk.

Symptoms of a bad thermal fuse include:

• Dryer not starting
• No heat in the dryer
• Dryer shutting off mid-cycle
• The dryer running but not heating

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

The Thermal Fuse is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. This safety device monitors and protects heating elements inside the dryer. If temperatures rise too high due to a blockage or other issue, the fuse automatically opens the electrical circuit to cease further heating. 

Symptoms of a bad thermal fuse include:

• Dryer failing to heat or stay warm during cycles
• Fluctuating or inconsistent heat levels  
• Tripped circuit breakers after drying

Causes of failure involve wear or damage from years of high heat exposure. Over time, components become brittle and less responsive.

This is the main drive motor that powers the appliance's drive system. A failing motor can cause the unit to stop agitating or spinning, run intermittently, hum without movement, or trip the overload.

• Converts electrical energy into mechanical rotation for the drive system
• Common failure symptoms: no spin, no agitation, humming/buzzing, burning odor, or intermittent operation
• Diagnosed when the basket won't move but the control powers on
• Often associated with tripped thermal/overload or blown motor windings

• Disconnect power before servicing; verify capacitor discharge where applicable
• Note wire locations and harness orientation before removal
• Inspect belt, pulley, coupling, and wiring for wear or heat damage; replace as needed
• After installation, run a short cycle to ensure proper rotation and operation
