This factory sensor provides critical feedback to the control so your appliance can adjust operation and protect components. Replacing a failed sensor restores accurate readings and helps eliminate erratic cycles and nuisance error messages. What it does:

• Monitors operating conditions and sends a signal to the main control
• Helps regulate timing, heating, and other functions based on real-time data
• A failing sensor can trigger error codes or stop a cycle prematurely
• Intermittent faults may cause unusually long/short cycles or inconsistent results

• 1 sensor

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid electrical shock
• Access and mounting vary by model; refer to your unit's service information
• Transfer any brackets, seals, or screws from the original part if required
• Handle wiring connectors carefully; avoid pulling on the wires

10 - 16 x 1/2

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.

• Tighten fasteners to manufacturer specifications—do not over-tighten.

Includes two bumpers and two locking clips. You will use one or the other depending on hole size.

This replacement switch restores reliable on/off signaling to the circuit it controls, helping your appliance start, stop, and respond correctly. A worn switch can cause intermittent operation, no response, or lights and functions that don't activate. What it does:

• Provides an electrical open/closed signal to enable functions like starting a cycle, powering a motor or light, or shutting a feature off
• Acts as a safety/position interlock (such as door, lid, float, or hood) depending on the model
• Typical symptoms include won't start, won't stop, light won't turn on/off, or intermittent operation
• Can be checked with a multimeter for continuity when actuated

• 1 switch

• Disconnect power before servicing; turn off gas or water supply if applicable
• Access the switch, note wire locations, and transfer leads one at a time to the new switch
• Mount securely, ensure the actuator aligns and wires aren't pinched
• Reassemble and test operation before finalizing

This front top panel lock secures the top to the front of the cabinet, keeping the panel closed and aligned. Replacing a worn or broken lock helps eliminate gaps and rattling for a solid, factory-tight fit.

• Holds the front edge of the top panel to the cabinet frame
• Maintains proper alignment to reduce panel movement and vibration
• Helps the top stay closed during operation
• Common symptoms: top won't stay down, visible gap at the front edge, rattling/squeaking from top area, broken or missing lock

• Disconnect power; for gas units, also shut off the gas supply
• Support the top/front panel before removing the old lock
• Remove fasteners or release tabs, note orientation, and transfer any reusable hardware
• Install the new lock and verify the top engages securely before reassembly and testing

Replace a cracked or missing bracket to keep appliance components securely mounted and aligned. Restoring this support helps prevent movement, vibration, and premature wear, so the connected part operates as intended.

The Dryer Drum Baffle is an OEM replacement part designed for Whirlpool dryers. The baffle, located inside the drum, helps lift and tumble clothes during the drying cycle, ensuring even and efficient drying. It agitates the clothing, allowing air to circulate freely and preventing tangling.

Note: This is the tall baffle.

Over time, the drum baffle can become loose or damaged due to frequent use and contact with clothing or objects left in pockets. Physical wear or repeated impacts might cause it to crack, detach, or warp, reducing its ability to tumble clothes properly.

Symptoms of a faulty Drum Baffle include:

• Clothes not drying evenly or efficiently
• Unusual noises coming from the drum, such as rattling or banging
• Loose or detached baffle within the drum

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