A visual inspection may result in finding disconnected or burnt wires if this part is faulty. This control panel features a variety of connected parts and pieces that are necessary to this component. Because of the electrical component to this part, it's important to unplug the machine from the outlet before attempting to repair or replace this part.This specific control panel is compatible with dryers that are manufactured by the Whirlpool brand. It is sold individually as a high-quality part. This part is also sourced straight from the manufacturer.

This control knob assembly replaces a worn or broken selector knob so you can set and change appliance functions with a secure fit and clear detents. It restores reliable manual control for common user settings. What it does:

• Fits onto the control shaft to select cycles, temperatures, or settings depending on your model
• Provides tactile detents and a firm grip for accurate selection
• Resolves symptoms like a loose, cracked, or spinning knob that won't engage settings
• Prevents slipping or intermittent control inputs caused by a damaged knob

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before handling control parts
• Often installs by aligning onto the control shaft and pushing on until seated; some models may use a retaining clip or screw
• Handle gently to avoid damaging the control shaft or surrounding panel

This motor connector housing is the molded body that holds the motor's wire terminals for a secure, insulated connection. Replacing a cracked or heat-damaged housing helps restore reliable motor operation and prevent intermittent power issues.

• Organizes and insulates the motor's wiring terminals
• Locks the harness to the motor for a firm electrical connection
• Helps reduce loose contacts, arcing, and heat damage at the plug
• If the housing is failing, you may see intermittent or no motor operation, the machine stopping mid-cycle, or visible melting/discoloration at the motor connector

• Disconnect power; also shut off gas supply
• Note wire positions; transfer terminals into the new housing one at a time to maintain orientation
• Inspect terminals and wiring; replace any burnt or loose terminals before reassembly
• Ensure the connector seats fully on the motor and the harness is secure; restore power and test

This cable tie secures wiring and the power cord to the appliance chassis to help prevent chafing, pinching, or loose connections. Simple, low-cost part that restores proper wire routing and strain relief. What it does

• Holds wiring and harnesses in place to prevent rubbing against sharp edges
• Helps reduce risk of intermittent power or connector strain caused by loose wires
• Keeps harnesses routed for correct clearance and component access
• Useful during repairs to restore original wire routing and strain relief

• One cable tie (wire harness retainer)

• Safety first: disconnect the appliance from power before inspecting or replacing wiring components
• Remove the damaged or existing retainer and route harnesses to match original OEM routing before installing the new tie
• Trim excess tie tail; do not overtighten—secure, but avoid crushing wires
• Replace any tie that's melted, cracked, or otherwise damaged rather than reusing it

Screw for control panel.

This harness clip secures appliance wiring to the cabinet or components to prevent rubbing, pinching, and interference with moving parts. It keeps wiring routed neatly for reliable operation and reduced risk of abrasion-related failures. What it does:

• Holds wire harnesses in place to prevent chafing against sharp edges or moving parts
• Reduces vibration-related noise and intermittent connections caused by loose wiring
• Helps maintain proper wire routing around panels, motors, and heaters
• Supports safe operation by keeping wires away from heat sources and pinch points

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electric shock
• Remove panels or access covers as needed to reach the original clip location
• Install by snapping or seating the clip into the original mounting point and securing the harness in the retainer; replace any broken mounts
• Inspect surrounding wiring and replace damaged wires or insulation before completing repair

This wire harness assembly routes power and signals between appliance components so controls, motors, and sensors can operate reliably. Replacing a damaged harness restores proper electrical connections and helps eliminate intermittent faults. What it does:

• Provides wired connections between the control board and key components
• Restores lost or intermittent power to affected circuits
• Prevents shorts and erratic operation caused by frayed or broken wires
• Enables normal control communication when factory wiring is damaged

• One complete wire harness assembly as shown

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before accessing electrical components
• Inspect connectors and wire routing; replace if insulation or terminals are damaged
• Secure harness away from moving parts and hot surfaces to avoid rubbing or melting

This self-drilling screw secures appliance panels and components where a fastener must cut its own pilot hole. It provides a quick, reliable hold for repair or reassembly of trim, brackets, and internal fixtures. What it does:

• Fastens panels, brackets, and small components without pre-drilling
• Helps stop loose or rattling trim and parts caused by missing or worn screws
• Restores proper alignment and secure mounting after repairs
• Works where sheet metal or thin substrates require self-tapping engagement

• One self-drilling screw

• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety procedures before starting repairs
• Use the correct size driver and steady pressure to avoid stripping the head
• Start straight and apply firm, even torque; avoid overtightening which can damage mounting surfaces
• Wear eye protection and handle small fasteners carefully to avoid loss or ingestion hazards
