Whirlpool Adg 954/1 Parts

This idler arm assembly keeps the dryer drum belt properly tensioned so the drum turns smoothly for even drying. Replaces a worn or broken tension arm to restore belt tracking and reduce noise. What it does:

• Maintains correct tension on the dryer drive belt so the drum rotates consistently
• Guides the belt for proper alignment and helps prevent slipping or rubbing
• Reduces squeaks, thumping, or belt-slap caused by a loose or damaged idler
• Works with the drive motor and belt to transfer rotation to the drum

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair.
• Basic hand tools required; remove the front panel or access panel per your model's service instructions.
• Inspect the drive belt and pulley for wear while replacing the arm; replace if damaged.

This orifice is the calibrated gas jet that meters natural gas flow to the burner for proper combustion in compatible dryers. It helps maintain consistent heat output and stable burner operation when installed correctly. What it does:

• Controls the amount of natural gas delivered to the burner for stable flame and drying performance
• Replaces a worn, damaged, or incorrectly sized orifice that can cause weak flame or inconsistent heat
• Helps prevent flame irregularities and cycling issues caused by improper gas metering
• Used where a #45 natural gas orifice specification is required by the appliance

• Turn off gas supply and electrical power before servicing; follow all safety and local code requirements
• Install only if the #45 NG size is specified for your appliance; do not file or enlarge the orifice
• Inspect fittings and seat for debris; ensure a tight, leak-free connection using approved sealants or gaskets

This control assembly is the user interface and main control module for the dryer's blue console, restoring button and display operation so the dryer will accept selections and start cycles. Fits consoles designed for a blue finish. What it does:

• Houses the dryer's control electronics and push buttons for cycle selection and start/stop
• Sends user commands to the timer and heating components so cycles run as selected
• Commonly replaced when buttons, lights or the display stop responding or the dryer won't start
• Prevents intermittent or unresponsive control behavior when the board or button membrane has failed

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid shock; this part requires access behind the control console
• Handle the electronic module carefully; avoid touching circuit contacts and connectors
• Verify connector orientation and secure all harnesses before reassembly and power-up
