This is a replacement pilot light lens — the small cover that protects and diffuses the indicator/bulb on the control panel. It keeps the lamp shielded while letting the pilot light show through clearly. What it does:

• Protects the pilot/indicator bulb from dust, spills and contact.
• Diffuses and focuses the light so the indicator is visible without glare.
• Restores a finished appearance to a cracked, faded or missing lens.
• Helps prevent direct contact with the bulb for safer operation.

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before accessing the control panel.
• Lens may be secured by snap-fit tabs or small screws—remove the control panel or knob as needed.
• Handle the lens carefully to avoid scratches; align tabs or screw holes and seat fully.
• If the indicator still does not light after installation, check the bulb and wiring.

The Relay is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This part acts as a switch, controlling the flow of electrical current to various parts of the dryer, such as the heating element or the motor. 

Over time, relays can fail due to wear and tear, electrical issues, or overheating. When a relay malfunctions, it may prevent the dryer from starting, heating, or performing correctly.

Symptoms of a bad Relay include:

• The dryer does not start
• The dryer does not heat
• Unusual noises during operation
• The dryer stops unexpectedly during a cycle

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

The Push to Start Switch is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This switch is responsible for initiating the drying cycle when you press it. It ensures that the dryer starts and operates correctly, providing a convenient way to begin the drying process.

You should replace the push to start switch if it becomes faulty or unresponsive. Common causes of a bad switch include electrical wear and tear, damage from repeated use, or internal component failure.

Symptoms of a bad push to start switch include:

• Dryer not starting when the switch is pressed
• Intermittent operation or having to press the switch multiple times
• No response or click sound when pressing the switch
• Dryer starting and stopping unexpectedly

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

This control panel is the console assembly that houses the oven/range user controls and display, restoring responsive button input and clear status feedback for normal operation. It replaces a worn, cracked, or unresponsive console to return reliable control. What it does:

• Provides the front-facing buttons, touch controls and display interface used to select bake, broil, timers and settings
• Routes user commands to the oven control board so cycles and temperature changes start correctly
• Commonly replaces panels that are cracked, faded, or have unresponsive buttons or missing indicators
• Helps resolve intermittent or no-response control inputs when the panel hardware is the failed component

• One control panel (console assembly) as shown

• Disconnect power to the appliance at the breaker before starting; electric shock hazard
• Handle the assembly carefully to avoid damaging the display, ribbon cables, and connectors
• Some models require removing trim, screws, or the oven door for access; keep fasteners organized
• If you see additional electronic damage or error codes after swap, verify the main control board and wiring harness

This is a replacement machine screw sized 8-18 x 3/8 that secures panels and components on compatible appliances. It restores proper fastening where a worn, stripped, or missing screw causes loose parts or rattling. What it does

• Fastens control panels, trim pieces, or brackets to the appliance chassis
• Replaces stripped, corroded, or missing screws that cause loose panels or vibrating noise
• Provides correct thread engagement for a secure hold in tapped holes
• Small hardware solution often used during door, console, or interior repairs

• One 8-18 x 3/8 machine screw (quantity: 1)

• Use the correct screw size and thread; do not force a different-size fastener into tapped holes
• Hand-start the screw to avoid cross-threading, then tighten with the appropriate screwdriver
• Disconnect power before accessing internal components or panels on electrical appliances
• If metal threads are damaged, repair with a helicoil or replace the damaged component rather than over-torquing

This screw is used to secure the handle end cap to the center of the door. The screw size measures 8-18 x 1/2 inches.

This lock cam is a small actuator that drives the appliance's door-lock mechanism. It translates the lock actuator's movement into a positive latch, helping the door lock securely when required and release correctly so cycles start and finish properly.

• Interfaces with the lock actuator and latch to engage and release the lock
• Wear, cracking, or rounding can cause the lock not to engage or to stick
• Common symptoms include a door/lid that won't lock or unlock, loose lock lever, clicking without latching, or door/lock-related error messages
• Restores proper linkage travel and switch actuation when the original cam is worn or damaged

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Access the lock mechanism per your model; note the cam's orientation and any springs/linkages
• Install the new cam fully seated and ensure it engages the actuator and latch smoothly
• Reassemble, restore power, and test lock operation

This timer harness assembly routes power and signals between the timer and other controls, restoring reliable timer operation. It replaces a worn or damaged timer wiring harness to help the appliance complete cycles correctly. What it does:

• Connects the timer to control circuits so cycle advances and timed functions operate
• Replaces frayed, cracked, or burnt wiring that can cause intermittent or no timer response
• Restores proper electrical connections that may cause the timer to fail or skip cycles
• Helps eliminate symptoms like no cycle advancement, intermittent timer operation, or error codes tied to timer circuits

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before beginning work
• Observe connector orientation and routing; do not stretch or pinch wires during installation
• Inspect mating terminals and connectors for damage; replace if corroded or broken

This foam seal cushions and seals the icemaker area to reduce vibration and prevent air leaks that can affect ice quality and efficiency. It's a direct-fit replacement designed to restore proper sealing around the icemaker housing. What it does:

• Cushions the icemaker assembly to reduce noise and movement
• Helps seal gaps to limit warm air intrusion that can cause icemaking issues
• Supports consistent ice production by maintaining the intended airflow path
• Resists compression set for reliable sealing over time

• One foam seal for the icemaker housing

• Basic installation; remove power to the appliance before starting
• Align the seal to the icemaker housing, pressing into place until fully seated
• Inspect surrounding surfaces for debris or damage and clean before installing

This screw-washer assembly secures panels, brackets, and other appliance components. The integrated washer spreads load and resists loosening, so replacing a worn or missing fastener restores a tight, reliable fit and helps eliminate rattles.

• Provides fastening with a built-in washer for even clamping and retention
• Replaces missing, stripped, or corroded hardware
• Helps address loose panels/handles and vibration or rattle noises
• Supports proper alignment of covers, brackets, and trim

• Disconnect power and shut off water or gas (as applicable) before servicing
• Match to the original fastener; location and quantity in your model's parts diagram
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten with the correct driver
• Do not overtighten; replace other severely rusted or damaged fasteners in the same area
