• Handle wiring connectors carefully; avoid pulling on the wires

The Door Handle is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. It provides a  grip for opening and closing the dryer door, ensuring easy access to the drum.

Over time, the door handle can become worn or damaged due to frequent use, accidental impacts, or general wear and tear. If the handle breaks, it can make it difficult or impossible to open the dryer door.

Symptoms of a bad door handle include:

• The handle becoming loose or wobbly
• Visible cracks or breaks in the handle
• Difficulty in opening or closing the dryer door
• The handle detaching from the door

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

This sensor monitors humidity inside the microwave cavity so sensor-cook and reheat features can automatically adjust time and power. Replacing a failing sensor restores accurate automatic cooking and helps prevent premature shutdowns or "Sensor" error messages.

• Detects steam/humidity in the cavity during sensor-based cooking cycles
• Sends feedback to the control to optimize cook time and power levels
• Failure can cause "Sensor" errors, sensor-cook cycles that won't start or end early
• Manual timed cooking may still work while sensor-cook modes misbehave

• Disconnect power before servicing; microwaves contain a high-voltage capacitor that can retain a dangerous charge
• Access is typically behind the top grille/control area; note sensor orientation before removal
• Handle the sensor by its body; avoid contaminating the sensing face
• Route wiring as original and ensure the connector is fully seated before reassembly

Specs: 10-16 x 1/2 inch.

• Shields the bulb or LED from debris, grease, and impact
• Diffuses light for more even, glare-free illumination
• Helps maintain the appearance of the light area
• Common symptoms: cracked, broken, missing, discolored, or loose lens

• Disconnect power and let the lamp/surface cool before servicing
• Support the old lens while removing any retaining screws or clips
• Align tabs or holes carefully; seat the new lens fully and evenly
