Wgd5500bwo Parts

This shield is a molded protective cover that guards internal appliance components from moisture and debris, helping prevent damage and maintain reliable operation. It fits into place to keep nearby parts shielded and aligned. What it does:

• Covers and protects internal components from water, grease, and small debris
• Helps direct moisture away from sensitive parts to reduce corrosion risk
• Prevents rubbing and wear between adjacent parts that can cause noise
• Aids proper alignment and sealing of nearby panels and assemblies

• Disconnect power and water supply before beginning any repair
• Inspect mounting tabs and surrounding seals; replace any damaged fasteners
• Snap or screw the shield into the existing mounting points without forcing
• Replace those components before reassembly

This exhaust pipe directs heated air from the dryer drum to the household vent, restoring proper airflow for efficient drying and reduced lint buildup. It's a direct-fit replacement designed to match the OEM airflow path. What it does:

• Channels dryer exhaust from the appliance to the external vent to maintain proper airflow.
• Helps prevent lint accumulation in the cabinet by providing a sealed exhaust path.
• Can reduce long dry times and overheating caused by restricted or damaged venting.
• Addresses symptoms such as poor drying performance, hot dryer cabinet, or noticeable burning/overheating smells near the dryer vent area.

• One exhaust pipe.

• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) before starting work; the appliance is fully de-energized.
• Wear gloves to avoid sharp edges; remove old pipe and clean vent connections before installing the replacement.
• Secure with appropriate clamps or fasteners and ensure a continuous, unobstructed path to the exterior vent.
• After installation, run a short cycle to check for leaks.
