Roper Dryer Parts

This exhaust vent extension provides extra duct length to move dryer or hood exhaust farther from the appliance, improving airflow routing and helping reduce backpressure and lint buildup in short-vent installations. What it does:

• Extends the length of an existing exhaust duct to reach a distant vent outlet
• Helps restore proper ventilation when original ducting is too short
• Reduces restricted airflow that can cause longer dry times or excess lint accumulation
• Works as an inline rigid/semirigid extension piece for exhaust systems

• Disconnect power (and gas for gas dryers) before accessing or modifying exhaust connections
• Remove lint and debris from ducting before installing the extension to ensure clear airflow
• Securely fasten with appropriate clamps or foil tape and maintain a smooth, unobstructed path

This manifold cover protects the appliance manifold assembly by shielding valves and fittings from dust, debris, and accidental contact. It restores a secure, finished appearance and helps keep manifold components functioning reliably. What it does:

• Shields manifold valves, fittings and connections from dust, food particles and spills
• Helps prevent accidental snagging or contact with manifold components during use or maintenance
• Restores a damaged, cracked or missing cover to maintain a finished appearance
• Can reduce intrusion of debris that complicates service or repairs

• Disconnect power and shut off gas supply before starting work
• Replace only with the correct OEM part and align over manifold before fastening
• Use appropriate fasteners; do not overtighten to avoid cracking the cover

This wire harness assembly routes power and control signals between components so the appliance operates reliably. It replaces a damaged or worn harness to restore proper electrical connections and reduce intermittent faults. What it does:

• Provides the main connector wiring between electrical components and the control board.
• Restores lost power or control signals caused by broken, frayed, or burnt wires.
• Helps stop intermittent operation, control errors, or components that won't power on.
• Maintains secure connector fit and correct wire routing to prevent shorting.

• Always disconnect power (unplug or switch off breaker) before starting any repair.
• Handle connectors carefully; release locking tabs to avoid damage.
• Route and secure the harness following original wire paths and clips to prevent chafing.

This push-to-start knob replaces a worn or damaged push-to-start control on compatible appliances, restoring a secure, easy-to-use push-on operation. It provides a simple mechanical interface for starting the appliance. What it does:

• Replaces a damaged or stripped push-to-start control knob for reliable push-on starting
• Restores positive engagement so the start mechanism activates consistently
• Helps address symptoms like a loose, cracked, or non-responsive start knob
• Simple mechanical part — no electrical components included

• One push-to-start replacement knob

• Turn off power to the appliance before attempting replacement; follow all safety procedures
• Usually installs by pulling the old knob straight off the shaft and pressing the new knob onto the spline
• If the knob resists, check for retaining clips or caps that may need removal first
• If the start mechanism still doesn't work after replacing the knob, inspect the switch or push-to-start assembly

The Bulkhead is an OEM component for Whirlpool dryers. As a structural panel, it secures the rear of the appliance while enabling airflow behind sliding doors. 

Formed from durable composite, the lightweight bulkhead installs easily into precise slotted tracks inside the chassis. This allows full retraction during maintenance without removing additional panels. 

Causes of a faulty bulkhead can include cracked welds or screws stripping their anchors from extreme force vibration over many years of use.

Causes of a bad bulkhead can include:

• Noisy rattling and resonance as the dryer operates  
• Restricted door movement from misalignment
• Inability to fully access internal components  
• Excessive ducting leaks from gasket compression failure

Replace yours with this genuine Whirlpool bulkhead to restore smooth, tight operation. Compatible with Kenmore, Maytag, and KitchenAid dryers.

A push-button signal switch that completes the user input circuit to the control board so selections register and the appliance responds to commands. Replaces a worn or unresponsive front-panel switch to restore reliable button operation. What it does:

• Sends the user's button press signal to the control board so commands are recognized
• Commonly replaced when front-panel buttons are unresponsive or intermittently work
• Helps restore proper cycle selection and control responsiveness
• Works as the user-input contact in the control/display assembly

• Disconnect power before starting repair to avoid shock or injury.
• Access the control panel per your model's service instructions; handle the display and wiring gently.
• Verify connector orientation and secure all harness connections before reassembling.
• Test operation after reassembly to confirm the new switch functions correctly.

This is a replacement 8-18 x 7/32 machine screw used to secure panels and small components in compatible Whirlpool appliances. It restores proper fastening where a screw is missing, stripped, or damaged. What it does:

• Secures panels, trim pieces, brackets or small components to prevent movement
• Helps stop rattling, vibration noise, or loose-fitting parts
• Replaces missing or damaged screws to restore proper alignment of panels or controls
• Used wherever an 8-18 x 7/32 machine screw is specified by the manufacturer

• Unplug the appliance or turn off power before servicing.
• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head; tighten snugly but do not over-torque.
• Replace any stripped inserts or mating hardware if threads are damaged.

For mating plug use 691707.

A replacement timer knob assembly that restores a worn or broken control knob so you can accurately select and turn cycles. Fits original control shafts and matches the appliance's white finish for a clean, finished look. What it does:

• Provides a functional knob for turning and setting the timer/control dial
• Replaces cracked, stripped, or missing knobs that won't grip the timer shaft
• Helps restore precise control when the timer is difficult or impossible to turn
• Matches the appliance's original white appearance for a proper cosmetic fit

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Typically installs by removing the old knob and pushing the assembly onto the timer shaft; some models may require removing a trim or control panel
• Handle plastic components carefully to avoid cracking during installation
