This heater baffle mounts near the heating element to deflect and distribute radiant heat. It helps protect nearby surfaces and wiring while promoting more even temperatures and reliable performance inside the appliance.

• Directs and diffuses heat from the element to reduce hot spots
• Acts as a heat shield to protect the liner and adjacent components from direct radiant heat
• Helps maintain proper clearance and airflow around the element
• Damage or a missing baffle can lead to uneven temperatures, localized discoloration/scorching, or a burning smell

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance; allow it to cool completely
• Access the heater area; remove the screws or clips securing the existing baffle and retain the hardware
• Position the new baffle in the same orientation; ensure it does not contact the heating element
• Restore power and test operation

• Transfer wires one at a time or photograph connections for reference
• Reinstall using the existing knob and mounting hardware

This replacement timer knob lets you set and turn the dryer's cycle timer smoothly and reliably, restoring easy selection of drying times and cycle settings. Designed as the correct white knob assembly for compatible Whirlpool dryers. What it does:

• Fits onto the dryer timer shaft so you can rotate and select drying cycles and times.
• Replaces a cracked, stripped, loose or missing timer knob that prevents proper control.
• Provides a secure, tactile grip for accurate setting changes.
• Matches the original White finish for a clean, factory look.

• Disconnect the dryer from power before servicing.
• Most knobs pull straight off the timer shaft; align splines and press the replacement fully into place.
• Inspect the shaft and any retained plastic insert; transfer insert if the replacement does not include it.
• If knob is difficult to remove, use steady, even force or a soft-padded puller to avoid damaging the control panel.

Replacement bulkhead that supports the front of the dryer drum and helps maintain correct drum alignment and airflow. Restores stable drum rotation and reduces rubbing, noise, and air leaks for more reliable drying performance. What it does:

• Supports the front of the dryer drum and provides a mounting point for the front drum seal/bearing.
• Helps maintain proper drum alignment to prevent rubbing, wobbling, or uneven wear.
• Seals the front of the cabinet to help direct airflow through the drum and vent system.
• Commonly replaced when customers experience loud rubbing noises, visible drum misalignment, or air leaks from the front of the dryer.

• Turn off and disconnect electrical power and shut off gas supply before servicing.
• Installation typically requires removing the dryer front panel and drum; have the correct tools available and work on a flat surface.
• Inspect seals, bearing, and mounting hardware while replacing the bulkhead and replace any worn components.

This motor connector housing is the molded body that holds the motor's wire terminals for a secure, insulated connection. Replacing a cracked or heat-damaged housing helps restore reliable motor operation and prevent intermittent power issues.

• Organizes and insulates the motor's wiring terminals
• Locks the harness to the motor for a firm electrical connection
• Helps reduce loose contacts, arcing, and heat damage at the plug
• If the housing is failing, you may see intermittent or no motor operation, the machine stopping mid-cycle, or visible melting/discoloration at the motor connector

• Disconnect power; also shut off gas supply
• Note wire positions; transfer terminals into the new housing one at a time to maintain orientation
• Inspect terminals and wiring; replace any burnt or loose terminals before reassembly
• Ensure the connector seats fully on the motor and the harness is secure; restore power and test

The Control Knob is an OEM part for Whirlpool washers and dryers. It attaches to the selector switch, enabling users to choose various settings such as wash or drying temperature, fabric type, and spin speed.

The most common causes of a defective control knob include internal stripping that prevents secure engagement with the selector shaft, wear and tear from frequent use, accidental impacts leading to cracks or breakage, and aging of the knob's material.

Color: White

Symptoms of a malfunctioning control knob include:

• Difficulty selecting or changing cycle settings
• The knob spins freely without engaging the selector switch
• Cracks, looseness, or broken parts

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore washers and dryers.
