The Screw is an OEM part compatible with Whirlpool dryers. This screw connects the back panel to the side panel, ensuring the dryer cabinet is securely assembled. It plays an integral role in maintaining the structural integrity of the dryer housing.

Symptoms of a bad screw can include loosening, corrosion, or breakage over time and use. This can compromise the bond between panels and weaken the overall dryer frame.  

Causes of a bad screw include:

• Repeated expansion and contraction from heat cycles  
• Vibrations loosening the connection point
• Stress or cracks developing at the screw head or threads

These issues can lead to:

• Gaps appearing between panels
• Components like controls detaching from the housing
• Cabinet unable to withstand pressure changes  

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

This Heater Box Bracket secures the dryer's heater housing to the cabinet, keeping the heating assembly firmly mounted and aligned. Replace a bent, cracked, or missing bracket to restore stable support and reduce vibration around the heater area.

• Anchors the heater housing/box to the cabinet frame
• Maintains proper alignment and clearance for the heating element assembly
• Helps prevent rattling or rubbing noises from a loose heater housing
• A damaged bracket may leave the heater housing loose, cause vibration, or contribute to intermittent heating issues

• Disconnect power; if gas, shut off gas supply and allow the unit to cool completely
• Access the heater housing; note bracket orientation and reuse existing fasteners
• Support the heater housing and keep wiring clear while removing/installing the bracket
• After installation, verify the housing sits square and clear of the drum and wiring before restoring power

The Hinge is an OEM part for Whirlpool electric dryers. Located on the dryer door frame, this heavy-duty metal hinge securely holds the weight of the swinging door panel. It allows for easy opening, closing, and latching of the dryer entrance through thousands of cycles. 

Causes of a faulty hinge can include wear from years of operation putting pressure on the internal bearing as the door is repeatedly swung open and shut. Accidental impacts could also bend or damage hinge components over time.

Symptoms of a bad hinge include:

• Squeaking or grinding noises coming from the hinge area  
• Increased effort needed to open or close the door
• The door sagging when open or not staying still when closed
• Difficulty centering or aligning the door seal 

This Whirlpool dryer hinge is also compatible with brands including Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and some Kenmore models.

This replacement air duct channels and directs airflow inside the appliance to help maintain balanced temperatures. Replacing a cracked, warped, or missing duct restores proper air circulation and helps the unit cool more consistently. What it does

• Routes air through internal passages between compartments
• Helps maintain consistent temperatures by preventing leaks and bypasses
• Restores designed airflow when the original duct is damaged or missing
• Common symptoms include uneven cooling, warm spots, frost or moisture buildup, or unusual airflow noise

• 1 air duct

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves around sharp panels
• Remove shelves/panels as needed to access the duct and retain all fasteners
• Transfer any foam seals or gaskets from the original part
• Ensure the duct seats fully and fasteners are snug to prevent air leaks

Color: Gray. Size: 13 oz. can. Used for coating the dryer drum interior. Acrylic appliance paint.

This replacement door seal restores a tight door-to-cabinet gasket to stop leaks and help the appliance operate reliably. It replaces worn, cracked, or torn seals so doors close securely and minimize water, air, and odor escape. What it does:

• Creates a secure seal between the door and cabinet to prevent water or air leaks.
• Helps reduce odors and protects internal components from moisture damage.
• Restores proper door closure to prevent puddles, drips, or inefficient operation.
• Commonly replaced when the existing seal is torn, stretched, or compressed.

• Disconnect power and water before starting; follow all safety precautions.
• Remove the old seal and clean the mounting surface before installing the new gasket to ensure a proper fit.
• Seat the gasket evenly into the door channel and verify the door closes fully with no gaps.
• After installation, run a short test cycle or inspection to confirm there are no leaks.

Symptoms of a bad mounting screw include:

• Loose or rattling switch within the console face  
• Difficulty selecting cycles as buttons wobble out of place
• Water intrusion hastening corrosion of electrical terminals
• Potential shock hazards if live connections are exposed

This Whirlpool replacement screw restores a tight mounting point. It is compatible with brands like Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Housing is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool electric dryers. Found within the rear upper compartment, the square blower housing surrounds and supports the centrifugal fan assembly. 

Machined from durable heavy-duty plastic with ventilation slots, the blower housing channels airflow from the fan into the dual-duct exhaust system. Strategically placed mounting tabs secure the assembly in precise alignment.

Causes of a bad blower housing include cracks developing from years of constant vibration stress. Heat and exhaust moisture exposure could also warp or degrade housing material properties over time.

Symptoms of a bad housing include:  

• Noisy or unbalanced fan operation
• Reduced air velocity through ducts 
• Faulty directional airflow inside the dryer drum

Compatible with Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, and some high-efficiency Kenmore models.
