This Heater Box Bracket secures the dryer's heater housing to the cabinet, keeping the heating assembly firmly mounted and aligned. Replace a bent, cracked, or missing bracket to restore stable support and reduce vibration around the heater area.

• Anchors the heater housing/box to the cabinet frame
• Maintains proper alignment and clearance for the heating element assembly
• Helps prevent rattling or rubbing noises from a loose heater housing
• A damaged bracket may leave the heater housing loose, cause vibration, or contribute to intermittent heating issues

• Disconnect power; if gas, shut off gas supply and allow the unit to cool completely
• Access the heater housing; note bracket orientation and reuse existing fasteners
• Support the heater housing and keep wiring clear while removing/installing the bracket
• After installation, verify the housing sits square and clear of the drum and wiring before restoring power

This is the appliance's cabinet top panel in a chrome finish. It replaces a dented, bent, or rusted top to restore a clean appearance and a secure fit while protecting internal components and supporting mounted parts.

• Forms the finished top surface of the cabinet (chrome finish)
• Shields internal components from debris and accidental contact
• Provides mounting/support points for the console, hinges, or brackets (varies by model)
• Addresses damage, corrosion, looseness, or rattling from a bent or missing top

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves (sheet-metal edges are sharp)
• Retain and reuse the original screws/clips; transfer any brackets from the old panel
• Fasteners are typically at the rear or beneath the console—support the panel, remove screws, then lift off
• Align the new panel and tighten fasteners evenly to ensure a secure, rattle-free fit

• Houses and supports the blower wheel to direct airflow from the drum to the exhaust.
• Ensures proper airflow for consistent drying and venting.
• Can address symptoms like weak airflow, long dry times, or unusual blower noise when damaged or cracked.
• Works with the blower wheel and motor to maintain lint passage and exhaust flow.

• Disconnect power before inspecting or replacing the blower housing; follow manufacturer safety procedures.
• Access may require removing the dryer front or rear panel depending on model.
• Inspect the blower wheel and motor for damage or obstructions while replacing the housing.

This touch-up paint bottle restores small chips and scratches on painted appliance surfaces to improve appearance and help protect against rust. Easy-to-apply formula matches common appliance finishes for quick cosmetic repairs. What it does:

• Covers small chips, nicks and surface scratches to improve appearance
• Helps protect exposed metal from moisture and surface corrosion after damage
• Provides a precise application for targeted repairs on doors, panels and trim
• Can be used on painted steel and metal appliance surfaces (test in an inconspicuous area first)

• Clean and dry the repair area; remove loose paint and corrosion before applying
• Shake bottle well and apply sparingly with included applicator or a small brush
• Allow adequate drying time between coats and follow any manufacturer cure instructions on the label
• Wear gloves and work in a well-ventilated area; keep away from open flame and out of reach of children

This bulkhead is the front structural panel that supports the dryer drum and seals the front of the cabinet to maintain proper airflow and drum alignment. Replacing a worn bulkhead restores stable drum rotation and prevents air leaks. What it does:

• Supports the drum and front bearing to keep the drum centered and turning smoothly
• Seals the front cabinet to direct exhaust airflow through the blower and vent
• Reduces rubbing and vibration caused by a damaged or warped bulkhead
• Helps eliminate airflow leaks that can extend dry times or cause overheating warnings

• One bulkhead

• Disconnect power (and gas supply if applicable) before any service
• Service typically requires removing the dryer front panel and drum for access
• Inspect and replace any worn gaskets, bearings, or fasteners while replacing the bulkhead

Color: White

This lint duct assembly channels dryer exhaust through the cabinet and toward the vent, helping trap lint and maintain airflow for efficient drying. Replace a damaged or clogged duct to restore proper venting and reduce lint buildup. What it does:

• Directs exhaust air from the drum to the vent path to support consistent drying performance
• Helps contain and route lint toward the lint trap area to reduce internal buildup
• Common part for symptoms like poor drying, overheating, unusual airflow, or visible lint leaks inside the cabinet
• Works with the dryer cabinet and venting components to maintain safe exhaust flow

• One lint duct assembly

• Disconnect power (and gas supply, if applicable) before service to avoid shock or injury
• Inspect surrounding seals, gaskets and the lint trap for damage during replacement
• Reinstall using OEM fasteners and confirm proper alignment to prevent exhaust leaks

This 6-foot, 4-prong range power cord provides a dedicated 240V connection for electric ranges and stoves, replacing worn or damaged cords to restore reliable power and reduce risk of arcing or intermittent operation. What it does

• Supplies 240V/30A power to the range via a 4-wire (hot/hot/neutral/ground) connection
• Replaces cords with frayed insulation, exposed conductors, or melted ends
• Stops symptoms such as no power to the range, tripping breakers, or intermittent heating
• Ensures a grounded connection when installed correctly

• One 6 ft, 4-prong (30 amp) range power cord, bagged

• Always disconnect household power at the breaker before starting work
• Use the existing strain relief or mounting bracket to secure the cord and prevent tugging

The Seal is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. It creates a tight seal between the dryer door and the drum, preventing heat and moisture from escaping during the drying process. It helps maintain the proper temperature inside the dryer, allowing your clothes to dry quickly and evenly.

Symptoms of a faulty door seal include:

• Heat escaping from around the dryer door
• Excessive moisture or lint buildup
• Extended drying times

A bad door seal can occur due to regular use, wear and tear, or accidental damage. If you notice issues such as heat escaping from around the dryer door, excessive moisture or lint buildup, or clothes taking longer to dry than usual, it may be time to replace the door seal.

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