This seal strip replaces a worn or damaged door gasket edge to restore a proper seal and help the appliance maintain temperature and operate quietly. It's a direct-fit service part used where a continuous seal is required. What it does:

• Provides a flexible barrier along the door/frame to reduce air leaks and heat/cold loss
• Helps prevent moisture buildup and improves energy efficiency when sealing is restored
• Reduces rattling and vibration caused by a compressed or torn seal edge
• Commonly replaced when the strip is torn, missing, or no longer adheres properly

• One seal strip

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical or burn hazards
• Clean and dry the mounting surface; remove old adhesive or residue for best adhesion
• Align the strip carefully and press firmly; allow any adhesive to cure per manufacturer instructions

Screw (bur) is a fastener that secures panels, brackets and small assemblies on select Whirlpool appliances. Replacing a missing or damaged screw restores proper fastening and helps reduce vibration, rattling and misalignment. What it does:

• Fastens panels, mounting brackets and small internal or external components to the appliance frame.
• Replacing a stripped or missing screw prevents loose parts and restores a secure fit.
• Symptoms of a failing screw include rattling, vibration, panels or trim that do not sit flush, or components that move during operation.
• Commonly used where a short machine screw or trim fastener is required for assembly.

• Disconnect power before beginning any service.
• Use the correct screwdriver or driver bit and install straight to avoid stripping the head or threads.
• Do not overtighten — snug until secure to prevent damage to threads or parts.
• Keep removed fasteners organized and replace any damaged screws with the exact OEM fastener.

This fan assembly circulates air through the appliance to support proper cooling and ventilation, restoring airflow and helping the unit maintain even temperatures and efficient operation. What it does:

• Moves air through the appliance to aid cooling, ventilation, or drying functions
• Helps prevent overheating by maintaining airflow across coils or heat sources
• Can reduce abnormal operating temperatures and airflow-related performance issues
• Restores proper fan operation when the original wheel or motor fails

• Disconnect power (and water, if applicable) before starting any repair
• Handle fan blades carefully to avoid damage or imbalance
• Inspect mounting hardware and wiring for wear; replace any damaged fasteners or connectors

This fuse block is the appliance electrical terminal used to secure and connect a fuse or wire harness, restoring a safe electrical path for heating and motor circuits. It helps maintain reliable power transfer inside the appliance. What it does:

• Provides a secure mounting point and electrical connection for a fuse or inline connection
• Enables proper power flow between the control and high-voltage components
• Can cause loss of power, intermittent operation, or heating issues when damaged or corroded
• Replaces a worn, cracked, or melted terminal block to restore safe connections

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any work
• Handle wiring carefully; secure all splices and fasteners to manufacturer torque recommendations

This snap-in bushing provides a low-profile bearing surface to support rotating shafts and reduce wear and noise in appliance assemblies. It restores smooth operation where the original bushing is worn or damaged. What it does:

• Provides a replaceable bearing/sleeve for rotating shafts and posts
• Reduces friction and wear on housing and moving parts
• Helps eliminate rubbing, grinding, or rattling noises during operation
• Maintains correct shaft alignment for smooth rotation

• One snap-in bushing

• Disconnect power before servicing and follow all safety instructions
• Access may require removing panels or covers; inspect surrounding parts for wear
• Press or snap the bushing squarely into the housing until fully seated; avoid deforming it
• Replace any damaged retainers or seals and test operation after reassembly

This wing nut is a hand-tightening fastener used to secure small appliance components for easy tool-free adjustment or removal. It offers a simple replacement when the original nut is lost, stripped, or broken. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets, or components that require occasional removal or adjustment
• Allows tool-free tightening and loosening with built-in wings for finger grip
• Restores proper fit where a missing or damaged nut causes rattling, looseness, or instability
• Designed for repeated hand-operation without specialized tools

• Disconnect power to the appliance before performing any work to avoid shock or injury
• Thread by hand until snug; avoid overtightening to prevent stripping threads or cracking surrounding parts
• Inspect mating threads and replace if damaged to ensure secure fastening
• Use appropriate size and thread type—do not force a mismatched nut onto the stud
