Illuminates the dryer drum for better visibility when loading and unloading. Replace when bulb burns out or fails to light. Confirm fit with your model.
Originally the dryer was squeaking a lot, so I purchased a new belt tensioner, but the original tensioner was an old-style no wheel tensioner, so that wasn't the source of the squeaking. I saw a lot of lint had built up inside the unit where there shouldn't have been that much. So I viewed a few videos on the Appliance Pros site and saw that the rear wheel guides were the cause of the squeaking and the rear felt drum and blower housing seal needed to be replaced. The rear blower housing was... Read more
Maintains tension on the drive belt to keep it tight around the drum and motor pulley. Replace if the pulley is worn, cracked, or causing squealing noises.
I went to the local Home Depot and Lowes, but they did not have the parts because they do not carry parts for the items they actually sell to people. Jumped on the phone and did a quick search for parts and came across appliancepartspros.com. I put in the make and model of my dryer and all the parts for the dryer where listed. I ordered the items on a Wednesday night. I opted for the two day shipping. I thought the items would be at my house by Friday but they did not arrive until Monday. I... Read more
Dryer won't heat or stops heating after 10-15 minutes? Gas valve coils control burner ignition. Simple 5-10 minute repair with video guide included.
Being a complete DIY I hate to call some unknown person into my home knowing that just to get them there will cost me more than I will spend for parts that I don't need.After all, they are trying to make a living and by selling me parts that I don't need will increase their profits. I've dealt with APP before and was impressed by their site because I could find both mechanical and electrical drawings for almost everything I have. I looked up my dryer, decided what was probably the problem,... Read more
Traps lint and debris during drying to maintain airflow and prevent vent clogs. Replace when torn, cracked, or clouded. Confirm fit with your model.
I ordered the replacement part from Appliance Parts Pros. It arrived a few days later. A helpful video on YouTube showed me how to do it. The baffle was replaced in approx. 1/2 hour. Thank you AppliancePartsPros for you courteous help and speedy delivery. I will return when in need. Read more
Dryer won't start or runs with door open? This door switch kit restores safety shutdown function. Simple clip-in repair takes 15-30 minutes. Video included.
The timer knob simply pulls off the shaft with a solid, steady pull. Cleaned the timer cavity of lint/dust buildup. Aligned the keying flat of the shaft and knob and pushed the new knob on with careful, steady pressure until it was obviously seated. No tools required other than a vacuum. The door switch would sometimes not shut the dryer off when the door was opened. New switch came with new fast-on connectors. Replacement required opening the top cover of the dryer and hinging it up. This... Read more
Fiber washer that maintains idler pulley alignment and belt tension in your dryer. Replace if squeaking, grinding, or pulley wobbles occur.
I replaced drum rollers, axle shafts and front bearing kit. Still had noise. Ordered Idler Arm, Belt Tension Pulley & Washers. I ordered parts at 3:30 pm on a Wednesday, received new parts at 11:30 am Thursday. The instructions & videos were very simple to follow and provided excellent tips. Back up and running with silence in an 1/2 hour. My 13 year old dryer is running like new again. Way cheaper than calling a repairman. Read more
Dryer won't start or stops mid-cycle? A broken door catch prevents secure closure, triggering safety shutoffs. Simple snap-in replacement, 1 minute.
The very easy diagnosis was motor seizure. Because the machine is about a decade old, I decided to renovate most of the guts. My DIY project included replacing the motor, blower, drum bearing, belt, and door hinge. The end result is a functional dryer with no left-over parts. Lack of parts and hardware challenged the effort. For example, the blower assembly did not have the slide capture for the motor. I had to use the old one which is showing its age. With the exception of the drum... Read more
Fix a dryer that hums but won't turn with a new drive motor. This repair addresses seized bearings and worn motor assemblies. Moderate DIY project.
Unplugged unit from power.

This is a small fiber washer that fits on the drum support roller shaft inside the dryer. It acts as a spacer and bearing surface to reduce friction and keep the drum roller properly positioned. Replace this washer if the dryer makes squealing, thumping, or scraping noises during operation, or if the drum rollers appear to wobble or wear unevenly.
In the past, I replaced some electronic components on our gas dryer, the solenoid and the electronic ignitor, but the rest of the dryer looked more difficult to repair if needed in the future. I was wrong. I went unto AppliancePartsPros.com and watched some repair videos on dryers like mine that make big thumping sounds while drying. This happened when I googled my dryer model number in an attempt to find out is capacity, because I wanted our new dryer to have the same capacity. I found out... Read more
Plastic lift fin inside the dryer drum that tumbles clothes during drying. Replace if cracked, broken, or detached from drum. Screws sold separately.
Protects the idler arm and ensures smooth belt tension operation in your dryer. Replace if you hear grinding noises or notice excessive arm movement.
Fix was trivial. Took less than 30 minutes to change the old parts out. This dryer is about 20 years old and now we hope to get a few more years out of it. Read more

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
This Maytag dryer was bought in 1985 if memory serves. It has worked hard with few repairs done by yours truly over the years. Thanks to the engineering and excellent design by Maytag staff, removing parts are relatively easy. Once I opened the unit, I found it to be full of lint. I cleaned the entire inside and the vent pipe duct work. I found the blower wheel assembly worn. Though it was not cause of my problem, I decided to change it along with the igniter, heater relay and the fan belt. I... Read more
The timer knob skirt is the decorative ring around your dryer's timer control. Replace if cracked, broken, or stripped, preventing proper cycle selection.
I research it online and found that my timer knob skirt was cracked, watched the video online to see how to fix it, ordered the part………it came within 2.5 days. I followed the instruction on the video and was able to fix it myself. I love that I am able to fix things like this myself, I will use this site again for my next repair needs. Thank you Read more
Fix loud grinding noises in your dryer with a new blower wheel. This fan circulates air to dry clothes efficiently. DIY-friendly repair.
Our Maytag gas clothes dryer was not drying like it should/used to and was making a lot of noise. After researching online I figured the vent was partially blocked and/or the blower wheel was bad. When I took it apart, the vent had very little lint in the lower elbow exiting the back of the dryer but the blower wheel was loose on the shaft and was missing the clamp. I cleaned out the vent and put a hose clamp on the blower wheel to tighten it to the shaft and tried it again. The noise was... Read more
Dryer drum not turning or motor buzzing after running? A faulty drive motor is likely the cause. DIY repair with video guidance in 1-2 hours.
Saw a video on line. Looked fairly easy to replace, but there were quite a few steps. I followed the video step for step and had the motor out in less than an hour. Tested motor with an electrical tester, just to be sure that was the problem. I ordered the motor from Appliance Parts Pros on a Sunday evening. The motor was at my doorstep Tuesday morning. It took about a hour and half to get everything back together. My only suggestion would be to label all the screws as to where they go as you... Read more
Rectangular plastic baffle that mounts inside the dryer drum to lift and tumble clothes. Replace if cracked, broken, or missing to restore proper airflow.
An appliance repair man in area did repairs, the screws were not easy to find and none were supplied with baffles! Read more
