Symptoms of a bad clip include:

• Loose console assembly that is not securely fastened  
• Misaligned or dangling controls that do not sit flush
• Dislodged console at risk of detaching from housing
• Missing clip leaving an open mounting point

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

• Symptoms can include: dryer won't start, drum won't turn, or the dryer stops as soon as the Start button is released

• 1 switch

• Disconnect power; for gas models, shut off the gas supply
• Access the switch near the idler pulley by removing the lower/front panel per your model
• Transfer wires from the old switch to the new one; mount securely with the actuator aligned to the idler arm
• Run a brief test cycle

Specs: 10-16 x 1/2 inch.

This belt restrainer is the small guide that keeps the dryer's drive belt on the motor pulley. It prevents the belt from walking off during operation, supporting consistent drum rotation and reducing premature belt wear. What it does:

• Guides and retains the drive belt on the motor pulley
• Helps maintain proper belt tracking with the idler assembly
• Can help with symptoms like drum not turning, belt repeatedly slipping off, burning rubber smell, or frayed belt edges

• 1 belt restrainer

• Disconnect power; for gas dryers, also shut off the gas supply
• Access the motor area per your model (remove front or lower access panel)
• Position the restrainer adjacent to the motor pulley with slight clearance to the belt; route the belt correctly around drum, idler, and motor
• Hand-rotate the drum to confirm alignment before reassembly and testing
