Side and bottom exhaust kit.

This part is a motor clamp. This is a genuine OEM part and has been sourced directly from the manufacturer. This part is intended to replace a deteriorated, damaged, or broken motor clamp on certain makes of indoor appliance models. Motor clamps are essential for properly securing the drive motor on various types of indoor appliances such as washers, dryers, and refrigerators. Without the use of a motor clamp, the drive motor is free to move around or become detached. This can easily cause serious damage to the equipment and prevent proper functionality. Proper tools are needed to replace this part and appropriate safety measures should be adhered to when working on any type of equipment. For accurate information on how and where to install this replacement motor clamp, specific manufacturer diagrams should be referred to.As an authentic replacement part, this motor clamp can be used on multiple different models of washers, dryers, refrigerators, and washer/dryer combos manufactured by Kenmore, Maytag, Whirlpool, and Amana. Please note that this motor clamp is a genuine part made of high-quality materials and is sold individually.

The Door Strike is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. This component ensures the dryer door securely latches, enabling the appliance to operate and preventing it from running with the door ajar. It works in conjunction with the door catch to maintain a proper seal during drying cycles.

Symptoms of a bad Door Strike include:

• The dryer door not latching or staying closed
• The dryer not starting due to the door remaining open
• The door popping open during operation
• Visible wear, bending, or damage to the strike

Causes of a failing Door Strike can include regular wear and tear, misalignment from improper use, or damage from slamming the door. Replacing a faulty strike ensures the dryer operates safely and efficiently.

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