The Screw is an OEM part compatible with Whirlpool dryers. This screw connects the back panel to the side panel, ensuring the dryer cabinet is securely assembled. It plays an integral role in maintaining the structural integrity of the dryer housing.

Symptoms of a bad screw can include loosening, corrosion, or breakage over time and use. This can compromise the bond between panels and weaken the overall dryer frame.  

Causes of a bad screw include:

• Repeated expansion and contraction from heat cycles  
• Vibrations loosening the connection point
• Stress or cracks developing at the screw head or threads

These issues can lead to:

• Gaps appearing between panels
• Components like controls detaching from the housing
• Cabinet unable to withstand pressure changes  

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

This ice maker mold and heater assembly forms the cube cavities and briefly warms the mold during harvest so ice releases cleanly. Replace a corroded, leaking, or non-heating mold to restore reliable ice production and ejection. What it does:

• Contains and shapes water into ice cubes during the freeze cycle
• Integrated heater warms the mold during harvest so cubes release to the ejector
• Failure can cause cubes to stick in the mold, stalled harvests, or no ice production
• Pitting or corrosion of the mold can lead to leaks and poor cube release

• One ice maker mold with attached heater assembly

• Disconnect power before servicing; turn off the ice maker or water supply to prevent fill during service
• Remove the ice maker from the freezer to access the internal mold assembly; support wiring and harnesses
• Transfer any reusable components and fasteners from the original unit as directed by your service information
• After reassembly, restore power and allow a full cycle to verify proper fill, release, and ejection
