Parts for Whirlpool WED80HEBC0: 01 - 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 top panel is the upper cover of your dryer's cabinet. Replace a dented, rusted, or warped panel to restore a secure, flush fit and the clean, finished look of your machine.

• Forms the dryer's upper cabinet surface and covers internal components
• Provides proper mounting/alignment for the control console and top hardware
• Helps maintain cabinet rigidity and a solid, secure fit
• Common signs it's needed: visible dents/bends or rust, top won't sit flush or stay secured, gaps or misalignment near the console

• Disconnect power; shut off gas supply for gas models
• Wear cut-resistant gloves—cabinet edges can be sharp
• Remove fasteners securing the top, lift off, and transfer any clips/insulation from the original panel
• Align the new panel and tighten fasteners evenly to ensure a flush, secure fit

Console shell replaces the dryer's outer control housing to restore a clean, secure surface for the control assembly and controls. It repairs cosmetic damage while providing the proper mounting surface for the control components. What it does:

• Covers and protects the control assembly from impact, dust, and debris.
• Provides the structural mounting surface for knobs, switches and the control interface.
• Common symptoms it addresses: cracked, dented, warped or split console and loose or misaligned controls.
• Restores the dryer's appearance and helps prevent further damage to internal control components.

• Disconnect power (unplug the dryer or shut off the circuit breaker) before beginning any work.
• Removal/installation typically requires removing the dryer top or front panel; basic hand tools (screwdriver, nut driver) are commonly used.
• Handle any sharp sheet-metal edges with care and wear gloves and eye protection.

The Wire Harness is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This wire harness is responsible for delivering power and electricity throughout the dryer and to its individual components. 

Causes of a bad wire harness can include fraying or exposed wires due to wear and tear over time, cracking or damage of protective casings that expose internal wirings, or malfunctioning connections that disrupt power flow.

Symptoms of a bad wire harness include:

• The dryer not starting or powering on
• Components like the drum or heating elements not working
• Buzzing or humming noises coming from inside the dryer
• Tripped or blown fuses
• Error codes or failure to progress through cycles properly

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

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

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.

The Knob Spring Clip is an OEM part for Whirlpool appliances, specifically designed for use in washers and dryers. This small but essential component is responsible for securing the control knob to the control panel, ensuring that the knob stays firmly in place during operation.

Common causes of a bad spring clip include frequent use, accidental impacts, or wear and tear over time. A faulty spring clip can result in the control knob becoming loose or falling off, making it difficult to operate the appliance.

Symptoms of a bad knob spring clip include:

• The control knob is loose or wobbly
• The control knob falls off easily
• Difficulty in turning or setting the control knob
• The appliance not responding correctly to knob adjustments

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