Mgd8b850wq Parts

The Control Panel is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This panel houses electronic components that allow for selection of cycles, temperatures, and time durations. The panel features an easy-to-read display and tactile buttons for simple programming.

Causes of a bad control panel can stem from water ingress, physical damage, or standard component wear over time.

Symptoms of a bad control panel include:

• Faulty electronic components or circuit boards
• Unresponsive or non-functioning buttons
• Illegible or blank display readout
• Inability to start, pause, or stop cycles

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

This elbow redirects a fluid or air line inside the appliance to allow routing around components and tight spaces. It restores proper flow path and helps stop leaks or blockages when the original elbow is cracked or worn. What it does:

• Provides a sealed change of direction for a water, drain, or vent line inside the appliance
• Replaces a cracked or broken elbow that can cause leaks, water pooling, or reduced flow
• Re-establishes the correct routing to prevent kinks and stress on connected hoses or tubing
• Helps eliminate intermittent draining or venting issues caused by a damaged fitting

• Disconnect power and shut off water supply before accessing the part
• Verify orientation and routing before removing the old elbow to ensure correct reinstallation
• Inspect and replace any worn clamps, gaskets, or hoses when installing the new elbow
• Tighten fittings to secure but avoid over-tightening which can crack plastic components

A replacement mounting screw to secure appliance panels and components so parts stay properly fastened during normal use. Small but essential hardware for stable, rattle-free operation and reliable repairs. What it does:

• Fastens panels, brackets or components to the appliance chassis
• Prevents loose panels, vibration noise, or parts shifting during operation
• Used when original screw is lost, damaged, or stripped
• Restores proper fit and alignment after disassembly for service

• Disconnect power and water before starting any repair
• Use the correct screw type and length; do not force or substitute oversized fasteners
• Tighten until snug—avoid overtightening to prevent stripped threads or cracked parts
• Keep small parts away from children and pets

This Y-shaped connector hose diverts water between two inlet lines to route supply where needed. It restores proper water flow paths and replaces damaged or leaking split-connection plumbing on compatible appliances. What it does:

• Splits a single water inlet into two outlets so water can serve two components
• Provides a sealed path to prevent cross-flow between lines
• Commonly replaced when the connector leaks, cracks, or becomes brittle
• Helps restore normal water delivery when a split supply is required

• Turn off the appliance and shut off the water supply before beginning.
• Inspect mating fittings and replace any damaged clamps or seals.
• Hand-start fittings to avoid cross-threading, then tighten securely; check manufacturer torque guidance if available.
• After installation, restore water and power and check all connections carefully for leaks.

This replacement mounting screw secures appliance panels and small components to restore proper fit and reduce movement. It's a simple, direct part for repairing loose panels, trim, or interior assemblies. What it does:

• Fastens panels, brackets, or assemblies to prevent rattling and vibration
• Restores proper alignment for doors, control panels, or trim pieces
• Helps stop intermittent noise caused by loose hardware
• Use when original screw is missing, stripped, or corroded

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before beginning any repair
• Use the correct screwdriver bit and hand-tighten; avoid over-torquing which can strip threads
• Keep small parts away from children and pets; magnetic tray helps prevent loss
• If multiple screws are corroded or hardware threads are damaged, inspect mating parts and replace as needed

This genuine replacement seal restores a tight barrier between two mating surfaces in your appliance. Replacing a worn or damaged seal helps prevent leaks or air infiltration and supports proper, reliable performance. What it does

• Creates a compressible barrier to contain water or air at the joint between components
• Helps prevent drips, leaks, or unwanted moisture/condensation
• Replaces seals that are cracked, flattened, brittle, or misshapen
• Supports correct operation by maintaining proper pressure and temperature control at the seal point

• 1 seal

• Disconnect power; shut off water supply if applicable
• Note the seal's orientation before removal; match the profile to the new part
• Clean the groove and mating surfaces of residue and debris before seating the new seal
• Seat evenly without twisting or stretching; test for leaks/operation after reassembly

This spring provides tension for the door hinge, helping the door open and close smoothly and stay properly balanced. Replacing a weakened or broken spring restores correct door movement and prevents slamming or drooping.

• Maintains tension on the door hinge mechanism
• Helps the door stay level and close securely
• Can reduce issues like a sagging, loose, or slamming door
• Restores smooth, controlled door operation

• Disconnect power and shut off gas or water (as applicable) before service
• Support the door to relieve hinge tension prior to removal
• Note spring orientation/routing before replacing
• Wear cut-resistant gloves; hinge areas can be sharp and under tension

A replacement outer access cover that protects internal components and keeps the appliance appearance finished. Restores a secure barrier over openings to prevent debris and accidental contact with internal parts. What it does:

• Shields interior components from dirt, dust and spills
• Prevents accidental contact with wiring or moving parts
• Stops drafts or light from entering the cabinet opening
• Eliminates rattles or vibration caused by a cracked or loose cover

• One replacement outer access cover

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before starting any repair
• Remove adjacent panels or fasteners as needed to access the cover; basic hand tools usually required
• Handle edges carefully to avoid scratching the finish; align tabs and secure all fasteners

A motor run capacitor that helps the appliance's motor start and run efficiently. Replacing a failing capacitor restores reliable motor operation and reduces motor noise or intermittent starting. What it does:

• Provides the phase shift needed for the motor to start and maintain proper running speed
• Commonly linked to symptoms like humming, slow or no motor start, or motors that start intermittently
• Stabilizes motor performance under load to prevent overheating or tripping
• Works as a direct replacement when matched to the original part number and electrical rating

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Capacitors can hold charge—discharge safely and verify voltage is zero before handling
• Replace with the exact part number or equivalent rating; do not mix ratings or types
