Roper Baffle Parts

The Dryer Drum Baffle is an OEM replacement part designed for Whirlpool dryers. The baffle, located inside the drum, helps lift and tumble clothes during the drying cycle, ensuring even and efficient drying. It agitates the clothing, allowing air to circulate freely and preventing tangling.

Note: This is the tall baffle.

Over time, the drum baffle can become loose or damaged due to frequent use and contact with clothing or objects left in pockets. Physical wear or repeated impacts might cause it to crack, detach, or warp, reducing its ability to tumble clothes properly.

Symptoms of a faulty Drum Baffle include:

• Clothes not drying evenly or efficiently
• Unusual noises coming from the drum, such as rattling or banging
• Loose or detached baffle within the drum

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

This broiler burner baffle directs heat and flames across the broiler chamber to promote even cooking and help protect the burner from drips and debris. It's a simple, durable sheet metal part used in gas broilers. What it does:

• Redirects and evens heat distribution under the broil pan for more uniform browning
• Shields the burner from food drips and grease to reduce flare-ups and clogging
• Helps maintain proper burner flame pattern for consistent broiling
• Can resolve uneven broiling, excessive flare-ups, or burner flame irregularities when worn or damaged

• Disconnect power to the appliance and shut off gas supply before servicing
• Allow the range to cool completely; use gloves to avoid sharp edges
• Remove broiler pan and any obstructions, then position the baffle so it seats over the burner supports as shown in your service literature
