The Seal is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. It creates a tight seal between the dryer door and the drum, preventing heat and moisture from escaping during the drying process. It helps maintain the proper temperature inside the dryer, allowing your clothes to dry quickly and evenly.

Symptoms of a faulty door seal include:

• Heat escaping from around the dryer door
• Excessive moisture or lint buildup
• Extended drying times

A bad door seal can occur due to regular use, wear and tear, or accidental damage. If you notice issues such as heat escaping from around the dryer door, excessive moisture or lint buildup, or clothes taking longer to dry than usual, it may be time to replace the door seal.

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

This seal creates a tight barrier between two mating surfaces in your appliance, helping prevent leaks and performance loss. Replacing a worn seal restores proper containment and helps protect nearby components from moisture intrusion. What it does

• Forms a tight barrier to prevent water or air from escaping between joined parts
• Helps maintain proper pressure, airflow, or water path as designed
• Replaces cracked, flattened, or torn seals that compromise performance
• Common symptoms: drips or moisture at the joint, visible wear or deformation, loose fit, recurring leaks after reassembly

• 1 seal

• Disconnect power and, shut off the water supply before servicing
• Note the seal's orientation and match the new part to the old one
• Clean and dry mating surfaces; remove old adhesive, debris, or scale
• Install per OEM orientation; only lubricate if specified by the manufacturer, then reassemble and test for leaks

The CONTROL BOARD is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool brand electric dryers. It houses the electronic control system that monitors all cycles and safety features based on input signals. 

Symptoms of a bad control board include:

• Repeated error codes and faulty drying sequences   
• Failure to advance drying stages or tumble as intended  
• Failure to respond appropriately to input selections

As an electronic component, the control board faces wear from repetitive usage over many drying cycles. Exposure to moisture or impacted energy surges also risk damage over the years. Replacing it with this genuine Whirlpool part restores full oversight and dependable automatic operation cycle after cycle. Reliable electronic governance fulfills core drying functions.

This OEM Whirlpool replacement control board is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and some Kenmore dryer models. Proper monitoring streamlines laundry and maximizes performance.
