The Cycling Thermostat is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. It regulates and monitors the temperature inside the dryer during the drying cycle. It ensures that the dryer doesn't overheat and prevents potential damage to clothes or the dryer itself.

Causes of a faulty cycling thermostat can include wear and tear over time, electrical issues, or sensor malfunction.

Symptoms of a bad cycling thermostat may include:

• Clothes taking longer than usual to dry
• Inconsistent drying results
• Overheating or burning smell
• The dryer not heating at all

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

The Spark Module Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges. It is responsible for generating the spark needed to ignite the gas burners on the cooktop. The spark module sends electrical signals to the igniters, creating the spark that lights the gas for cooking. 

Over time, the spark module can fail due to electrical issues, exposure to moisture, or normal wear and tear. When the spark module becomes faulty, it can lead to various problems with igniting the burners.

Symptoms of a bad spark module include:

• Burners not lighting or taking a long time to light
• No clicking sound when turning the burner knob
• Burners only lighting intermittently
• Visible sparks or arcing from the module

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

NOTE: This part is only compatible with serial numbers starting with 21 and up on model 8351VV.

The Top Burner Spark Igniter is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges. It is responsible for igniting the gas on the stove burners, allowing you to start cooking quickly and efficiently. The spark igniter produces a spark that lights the gas, providing the flame needed for cooking.

Causes of a bad igniter can include wear and tear over time, buildup of food debris or grease that interferes with the spark, or electrical issues that prevent the igniter from generating a spark.

Symptoms of a bad Top Burner Spark Igniter include:

• Burner not igniting
• Weak or no spark
• Clicking sound without ignition
• Delayed ignition of the burner

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

The Sealed Gas Burner Head is an OEM part for Whirlpool gas ranges. It directs the gas flow to the burner, ensuring an even flame for cooking. This component is crucial for efficient heat distribution and precise cooking control.

Causes of a bad sealed gas burner head can include clogging from food debris or grease, corrosion due to exposure to moisture, or physical damage from impact or excessive heat. Over time, these factors can affect the burner's performance, leading to uneven cooking or failure to ignite.

Symptoms of a bad sealed gas burner head include:

• Uneven flame or no flame at all
• Difficulty in igniting the burner
• Yellow or irregularly shaped flames
• Burner not heating evenly or adequately

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

The Hose Clamp is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This clamp secures the hose in place, ensuring a tight connection and preventing leaks during operation. It is essential for maintaining the integrity of the washing machine's water system, securing hoses that carry water to and from the washer.

Common causes of a bad hose clamp include rust, physical damage, or loosening from repeated tightening and loosening.

Symptoms of a bad hose clamp include:

• Water leaks around the hose connection points
• The hose slipping off the fitting
• Visible rust or wear on the clamp
• Difficulty in tightening the clamp to secure the hose

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