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 High Temp Lubricant Tube is an OEM part for Frigidaire appliances, specifically designed to withstand and operate under high temperature conditions. This lubricant is essential for the proper maintenance and functionality of various Frigidaire appliances, offering protection against heat and friction. 

Over time, the lubricant can degrade or become contaminated, which can compromise its effectiveness. Causes of a bad high temp lubricant include exposure to extreme temperatures, accumulation of dirt and debris, or simply the natural breakdown of the lubricant over prolonged use.

Symptoms of needing a new High Temp Lubricant Tube include:

• Increased noise during appliance operation
• Reduced efficiency or performance of the appliance
• Harder movement of parts that should glide smoothly

This OEM Frigidaire part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator and some Kenmore models.

The Door Strike is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. It is a small, essential component that ensures the dryer door remains securely closed during operation. The door strike engages with the door catch to keep the door latched, allowing the dryer to operate efficiently and safely. Without a functioning door strike, the dryer may not start, or it could stop mid-cycle.

You should replace this door strike if it becomes damaged or worn out. Over time, the door strike can suffer from wear due to regular use, misalignment, or accidental impact, leading to issues with the dryer door latching properly.

Symptoms of a bad door strike include:

• The dryer door not staying closed
• The dryer not starting or stopping unexpectedly
• Difficulty in latching the dryer door

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

The Bypass Filter Plug is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It is used when a water filter is not installed. The bypass plug is essential for maintaining the refrigerator's water flow system, allowing water to bypass the filtration process. This is particularly useful during times when a replacement water filter is not immediately available or in situations where the household water supply is already adequately purified and additional filtration is not necessary.

Common causes of issues with the bypass filter plug include physical damage from handling, wear and tear over time, or improper installation. A faulty bypass filter plug can disrupt the water flow and affect the performance of the water dispenser and ice maker.

Symptoms of a bad Bypass Filter Plug include:

• Leakage or dripping from the water dispenser area.
• Difficulty in installing or removing the plug from the filter housing.
• Decreased water flow rate through the dispenser, indicating a potential blockage or improper fit.

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The Lint Trap is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. It helps in capturing lint and debris generated during the drying process, preventing them from clogging the dryer vent and exhaust system.

Symptoms of a bad lint trap may include:

• Longer drying times
• Reduced drying efficiency
• Visible lint accumulation in the dryer drum or on clothes
• Excessive heat inside the dryer

This OEM Frigidaire part can also be used on Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.

The Drum Bearing Bracket is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire dryers. It holds and supports the drum bearing, which allows the dryer drum to spin smoothly during the tumbling and drying cycle.

Causes of failure can be cracking or breaking of the bracket over time due to constant use and stress. Improper installation that puts strain on the bracket may also lead to issues.

Symptoms of a bad drum bearing bracket include:

• Excessive vibration or shaking during operation
• Loud grinding or scraping noises

• Premature wear of the drum bearing

This Frigidaire OEM replacement part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and some 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 OEM Whirlpool replacement is also compatible with some Kenmore, Admiral, Roper, and Estate dryer models. 

The Temperature Sensor Seal is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This seal is designed to protect the temperature sensor from moisture and other environmental factors that could affect its accuracy and longevity. By providing a barrier against the harsh conditions within a refrigerator, such as humidity and temperature fluctuations, this seal ensures that the sensor can accurately monitor and control the refrigerator's internal temperature.

Causes of a malfunctioning Temperature Sensor Seal can include wear and tear over time, degrading the seal's effectiveness. Physical damage like tears or punctures can allow moisture to reach the sensor. Improper installation may leave gaps or loose areas around the sensor, compromising the seal.

Symptoms of a bad Temperature Sensor Seal include:

• Inaccurate temperature readings.
• Condensation or frost near the sensor location.
• Frequent cycling or unusual patterns in the refrigerator's cooling process.
