WPL VENT KIT, 4-WAY ULT

The Belt Switch is an OEM part compatible with Whirlpool clothes dryers. It plays an important safety role by automatically shutting off power to the dryer when the belt comes off of the tumbler pulley. 

Symptoms of a bad Belt Switch include:

• The dryer failing to stop or start as expected 
• Inability to control heat, fan, or tumbling functions
• Smoking, burning smells or tripped circuit breakers

Causes can include wear and tear over extended use. Vibrations within the dryer may cause internal wiring to crack or connections to loosen over time.

This genuine Whirlpool replacement is compatible with additional brands like Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore as well. 

This electronic control board is the appliance's central control module. It coordinates power and timing so selected cycles run correctly. Replacing a failed board can restore responsive controls and consistent, reliable operation.

• Directs power to motors, valves, heaters, and fans through onboard relays
• Interprets inputs from sensors and the user interface to execute the chosen cycle
• Common failure symptoms: unresponsive controls or blank display, won't start or run, cycles that won't advance or stop unexpectedly, intermittent operation, repeated clicking or control-related error codes
• Restores intended timing and component sequencing when the original board is shorted or damaged

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing
• Use ESD precautions; handle the board by its edges to avoid static damage
• Photograph/label all connectors; transfer any jumpers or selector plugs from the old board to the new one
• Ensure all connectors are fully seated and the board is secured before restoring power and testing

A replacement front drum bulkhead that supports the dryer drum and helps keep the front bearing and seal aligned for smooth rotation. Use this bulkhead to restore proper drum alignment and reduce rubbing, noise, and excessive front play. What it does:

• Supports the front of the dryer drum and centers the front bearing/seal for stable rotation.
• Helps prevent drum rub, scraping noises, and uneven wear caused by a misaligned front support.
• Used when the front drum shows excessive play, thumping, or visible damage to the front support area.
• Installing a new bulkhead is commonly done alongside inspection of rollers, bearings, and the drive belt to ensure full drum stability.

• Disconnect electrical power (and shut off gas supply for gas dryers) before starting any service.
• Remove the front panel and drum to access the bulkhead; expect sharp edges and tensioned components—wear gloves and eye protection.
• Transfer any existing seals, bearings, or retainers only if undamaged; replace worn fasteners and inspect rollers/belts while the dryer is open.

The PAD is an OEM part crafted specifically for Whirlpool dryers. This pad plays a crucial role in the dryer's operation by providing support and cushioning for the dryer drum. Its precise design and compatibility ensure proper fitting and reduce noise during the drying cycles, contributing to smoother operation.

A worn-out or damaged dryer pad can lead to disruptions in the dryer's performance. Causes of a faulty pad might include wear over time, physical damage, or exposure to high heat, resulting in increased noise or imbalance during operation.

Symptoms of a bad PAD may include:

• Unusual or increased noise during dryer operation
• Visible signs of wear or deterioration on the pad
• Drum imbalance or wobbling during use

This is a genuine Whirlpool OEM replacement this part is also compatible with Maytag, Jenn-Air, and some Kenmore models.

The Screw is an OEM component compatible with Whirlpool washing machines. This screw secures the rear panel onto the cabinet frame, ensuring a sturdy connection between housing components.  Proper installation is critical for the washer's structural integrity.

Causes of a bad screw include corrosion from repeated water exposure or stresses from years of use. Loosening can occur from vibrations weakening the threads over time. 

Symptoms of a bad screw include:

• Rear panel detaching from frame opening gaps
• Increased noise and vibrations from a compromised seal  
• Stress on other connections from improper mounting points
• Potential leak paths from openings near hoses or tub areas

This OEM Whirlpool replacement screw helps maintain a tight panel closure. It is compatible with additional brands like Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Thermistor is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool gas dryers. It is a temperature-sensitive resistor that monitors the inlet gas temperature coming into the dryer. 

Causes can include the degradation of sensor components over time from repeated heating and cooling cycles. Moisture or debris intrusion could also impact functionality. 

Symptoms of a bad thermistor include:

• The dryer fails to progress through or complete cycles  
• Clothes remain damp even after extended drying
• Gas flow error codes are present
• Burned clothes smell is noticed from failed monitoring

This OEM Whirlpool replacement thermistor ensures accurate temperature readings for safe, optimized dryer operation. Its precise components deliver dependable sensing cycle after cycle. 

This part is also compatible with some GE, Crosley, Hotpoint, and select Kenmore electric and gas dryer models. Reliable and efficient drying performance results from an OEM thermistor replacement.
