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

This electronic control board is the appliance's main control module, managing cycle selection, timing and user inputs. Replacing a failed control board restores responsive controls and consistent cycle operation. What it does

• Interfaces with the user controls and timers to start, stop and sequence appliance cycles
• Switches and coordinates power to components (motors, valves/heaters) per program logic
• Can cause unresponsive controls, no display or failure to start when defective
• May produce erratic operation or unexpected cycle stops when the control is failing

• Disconnect all power before beginning any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Handle the board by the edges and avoid touching circuitry; use ESD protection if available
• Transfer any mounting brackets or harnesses from the old board unless new hardware is specified
• Follow the OEM service instructions for removal/installation

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.

The control board is an OEM part for Whirlpool clothes dryers. As the central processing hub, it directs cycles by broadcasting commands to individual mechanical and electronic components. 

Causes of a bad control board include moisture corroding connections, as well as power fluctuations over time corrupting retention in the memory banks. Breakdowns disrupt routines. 

Symptoms include:

• Fault codes indicating board errors stalling the process  
• Inoperable settings like specific cycles or adjustable options
• Full mechanical functions ceasing to respond appropriately

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with some Maytag, KitchenAid and Amana dryers.
