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

The Switch Mounting Screw is an OEM part compatible with Whirlpool washing machines. This screw securely mounts the cycle selector switch within the control console assembly. Proper fastening ensures dependable operation of control functions.  

Causes of a bad mounting screw can stem from stress cracks developing over multiple years of operation. Vibrations accumulate, slowly loosening connections housed in a wet environment.

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

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.

The Motor Drive is an OEM part for Whirlpool electric dryers. Located behind the drum, the motor drive contains the electric motor that powers the tumbling and spinning actions of the dryer drum during each cycle. It precisely controls the amount of torque needed to adequately dry wet loads within the preset time parameters.

Symptoms of a bad motor drive include:

• The dryer drum fails to spin or rotates slowly 
• Abnormal noises coming from the back of the dryer
• The dryer takes an extremely long time to finish cycles
• Bulging, cracked, or worn belts around the motor pulley

While heavy loads and continuous usage will eventually wear down motor drives, other causes could be shocks that damage internal mechanisms or failures in motor regulation components over multiple years of heating and cooling. Replacing the drive with a new OEM part restores dependable drying performance. This replacement is also suitable for models from Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, Roper, and more.
 

The Filter Housing is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. As part of the dryer ventilation system, the filter housing holds the lint filter in place, trapping lint and debris before it exits through the vent. It helps prevent blockages in the exhaust vent and surrounding area.

Causes of a bad filter housing can include cracks, breaks or defects in the plastic material over time due to normal use and heat exposure inside the dryer. Increased wear and tear from extended use can also cause damage.

Symptoms of a bad filter housing include:

• Excessive lint building up inside the dryer
• Reduced air flow and inefficient drying times
• Strange sounds like vibrations or rattling coming from the vent area
• Lint escaping from gaps in the filter housing

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