• Failure can cause the feature not to engage or to stay on after the cycle ends
• Knob may feel loose or fail to click when the switch is worn
• Mounts in the control console and interfaces with the external selector knob

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access through the control console; remove paneling as needed
• Transfer wires one at a time or photograph connections for reference
• Reinstall using the existing knob and mounting hardware

The Console Clip is an OEM part compatible with Whirlpool dryers. This clip secures the control console assembly to the top panel, ensuring it is firmly mounted during operation. Properly functioning clips are necessary to maintain the correct alignment of controls and prevent detachment. 

Causes of a bad clip can include wear and fatigue from repeated opening and closing of the dryer door. Excessive force or impact could also bend or break the clip over time.

Symptoms of a bad clip include:

• Loose console assembly that is not securely fastened  
• Misaligned or dangling controls that do not sit flush
• Dislodged console at risk of detaching from housing
• Missing clip leaving an open mounting point

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

Dryer not heating or stuck on one temperature? This temperature selector switch controls heat settings. Moderate DIY repair with video guide available.

This lint filter catches lint and debris during the drying cycle to maintain proper airflow through the dryer's exhaust system. A clogged or damaged filter restricts airflow, which forces longer dry times, increases energy costs, and creates a fire hazard from lint buildup in the vent system.

Replace this filter if the pull handle is broken or cracked, the mesh is torn or separating from the frame, rust or metal flakes are visible on the screen, or lint is passing through instead of being trapped. The filter is white, measures approximately 20 inches long (excluding the handle) by 8.5 inches wide, and slides directly into the lint filter slot -- no tools needed, takes under a minute. Clean the filter before every load for best performance.

This is a D-shaped knob insert or spring clip that fits inside a control knob and connects it to the control shaft on the dryer's front panel. It ensures the knob grips the shaft properly so you can turn the timer or selector. Replace this insert if your control knob spins freely without engaging the shaft or if the knob feels loose and won't stay in position.
