Dryer not heating or overheating? A faulty temperature control thermostat often causes inconsistent heat cycles. This part regulates dryer temperature.

Keep your dryer tumbling smoothly by restoring proper belt tension. This idler spring attaches to the idler arm and maintains tension on the drive belt so the drum turns reliably without slipping or squealing. What it does:

• Applies constant tension to the idler pulley to keep the drive belt tight around the drum and motor
• Helps resolve a drum that won't turn or tumbles intermittently
• Addresses belt issues such as slipping off, appearing loose, or premature breakage from low tension
• Can reduce squealing/chirping from the idler area caused by belt slip

• 1 idler spring

• Disconnect power; for gas dryers, also shut off the gas supply
• Access the idler assembly by removing the front or lower access panel per your model
• Relieve belt tension, unhook the old spring from the idler arm/frame, and install the new spring in the same orientation and holes
• Rotate the drum by hand to check smooth operation before reassembly

This replacement housing is the body that holds the washer's detergent drawer and channels rinse water through each compartment into the tub. Replacing a cracked or warped housing restores proper dispensing and helps prevent leaks at the dispenser area.

• Supports and aligns the detergent/bleach/softener drawer
• Routes incoming water to flush each compartment into the wash tub
• Interfaces with inlet hoses and outlet chute for proper flow
• Common symptoms: water leaking from the dispenser/front panel, detergent or softener left in the drawer, poor dispensing, drawer difficult to open/close

• Disconnect power and shut off water supply before servicing
• Remove necessary panels/trim, pull out the drawer, and release mounting screws/clips to access the housing
• Label and disconnect hoses; note routing. Transfer any reusable siphon caps, seals, and the drawer from the original housing
• Reassemble, restore water and power, and run a test fill to check for leaks

• Covers an open hole on the cabinet or panel after service or manufacturing access
• Helps block dust and lint from entering the cabinet
• Restores appearance and can eliminate small buzzes/rattles from open gaps
• Replaces a lost, cracked, or loose plug

• One plug

• Disconnect power to the appliance; for washers, also turn off the water supply
• Align the plug with the opening and press or snap it in until fully seated and flush
• Before restoring power and use, ensure the plug is secure

The blower housing assembly encloses the blower wheel and channels air through the unit's coils. Replacing a cracked or warped housing helps restore smooth airflow and reduce blower noise caused by rubbing or misalignment.

• Directs and focuses airflow through the heat-exchange coils for proper operation
• Supports and aligns the blower wheel so it spins with correct clearance
• Helps minimize vibration and noise when the housing is intact
• Symptoms of a failed housing may include scraping or rattling noises, weak airflow, vibration, or visible cracks/broken mounts around the blower area

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves and eye protection.
• Remove the front panel/cabinet to access the blower section; note screw and clip locations.
• Transfer the blower wheel, seals, and any reusable hardware from the old housing.
• Before reassembly, spin the blower wheel by hand to ensure free, rub-free rotation.
