Parts for Maytag MGD8200FC0: 02 - Top And Console Parts

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

This console shell is the outer housing that covers the dryer control area and delivers a clean, finished appearance while protecting internal controls. It restores the dryer's original look and shields electronics from dust and wear. What it does:

• Replaces the damaged or cracked control console housing to restore fit and appearance
• Protects control board, switches, and wiring from lint and debris
• Provides the mounting surface for control knobs, buttons, and bezels
• Helps prevent moisture and dust from reaching internal components, reducing nuisance issues

• Disconnect power before starting; this part requires access behind the console
• Remove control knobs and trim as needed to free the old shell; retain screws and hardware unless replacements are supplied
• Handle edges carefully to avoid scratching the finish during installation

The Control Panel is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This panel houses electronic components that allow for selection of cycles, temperatures, and time durations. The panel features an easy-to-read display and tactile buttons for simple programming.

Causes of a bad control panel can stem from water ingress, physical damage, or standard component wear over time.

Symptoms of a bad control panel include:

• Faulty electronic components or circuit boards
• Unresponsive or non-functioning buttons
• Illegible or blank display readout
• Inability to start, pause, or stop cycles

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

This control knob attaches to the appliance's control shaft so you can select settings with a solid, positive feel. Replace a cracked, stripped, or missing knob to restore smooth operation and a clean, finished look.

• Attaches to a switch or valve shaft to select temperatures, burner levels, or cycles
• Transfers your hand turn to the control shaft for accurate setting changes
• Common symptoms: cracked hub, spins without engaging, wobbly/loose, falls off, or missing
• Helps maintain a uniform appearance across the control panel

• Disconnect power (and shut off gas, if applicable) before servicing
• Pull the old knob straight off the shaft; avoid prying against the control panel
• Align the insert with the shaft's flats or splines and press straight on until fully seated
• Match position- and finish-specific knobs to the original on models that use different knobs per location

The Harns-Wire is an OEM part for Whirlpool electric and gas dryers. It is an assembly of wires and connectors that link internal dryer components together, allowing signals and power to flow properly through the system. 

Causes of a bad harness can include wire insulation cracking from dryer drum movement, severed conductors leading to power loss in certain circuits, or broken connectors interfering with components like motors or sensors.

Symptoms of a bad harness include:

• Inability to start or stop cycles automatically  
• Temperature fluctuations resulting in uneven drying
• Unexpected stops or failure to tumble clothes smoothly
• Activation of safety cutouts or circuit breakers

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

This 8-18 x 5/8-inch screw secures appliance panels, brackets, and covers. Replacing a missing or stripped fastener restores a tight fit and helps prevent vibration or loosening where this exact size is specified.

• Fastens sheet-metal or plastic components where a #8-18 x 5/8 screw is called for
• Helps maintain alignment and reduce rattling or vibration
• Replaces stripped, corroded, or missing screws of the same size
• Common symptoms: loose panels, gaps/poor fit, rattling noises, or visible missing hardware

• Disconnect power and shut off gas/water (as applicable) before service
• Match thread and length to the original; replace screws one at a time to keep parts aligned
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly without overtightening
• If the receiving threads are damaged, additional repair (clip, insert, or new nut) may be needed
