The Rear Panel is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. It is an outer protective panel located on the back interior of the dryer drum compartment and helps form the structural walls. The rear panel joins other interior pieces securely and assists with heat retention during the drying cycles. 

Causes of a bad rear panel can include impacts or accidents that damage the material, failure of mounting brackets over time, or general wear and tear cracks or breaks from repeated drum rotation and clothing.

Symptoms of a bad rear panel include:

• Visible bulges, cracks or holes in the rear drum walls
• Inability to properly secure interior components  
• Warm air escaping from gaps in the walls, reducing efficiency
• Possible lint or moisture leaks compromising insulation integrity

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

Dryer Vent Test Kit ensures your dryer's vent system is operating properly. Kit includes two tests depending on the location of your dryer's lint screen: One for the lint screen in the top of your dryer, and one for the lint screen in the front of your dryer. Instructions included.

Replace a cracked or missing bracket to keep appliance components securely mounted and aligned. Restoring this support helps prevent movement, vibration, and premature wear, so the connected part operates as intended.

• Provides a rigid mounting point for an associated component or assembly
• Maintains correct alignment and spacing within the appliance
• Helps reduce vibration, rattling, or shifting during operation
• Replaces brackets that are cracked, bent, or broken
• Common signs: loose or wobbly parts, misalignment, rattling noises, or visible bracket damage

• Disconnect power; also shut off the water supply before servicing
• Wear cut-resistant gloves—bracket edges can be sharp
• Reuse original screws/clips unless replacements are specified
• Hand-start fasteners, align parts, and tighten evenly without overtightening

This small mounting screw secures the appliance's timer to its bracket or control console. It replaces missing or stripped hardware to keep the timer stable, properly aligned, and operating smoothly when you turn the control knob.

• Fastens the timer assembly securely to its mounting bracket or console
• Prevents shifting and vibration that can make the control feel loose or wobbly
• Helps maintain proper alignment of the timer shaft/knob
• Ideal replacement when original hardware is missing or threads are damaged

• Disconnect power before servicing; shut off gas if applicable
• Access the control console and support the timer while removing/reinstalling hardware
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly without overtightening into plastic or thin metal
• Replace screws one at a time to keep the timer aligned
