This small adapter wheel connects to the dryer's encoder mechanism, which helps the control board track drum position and cycle progress. It links the encoder to the drive system, translating mechanical rotation into signals the electronic control can read. Replace this part if your dryer displays error codes related to cycle sensing, fails to advance through cycles properly, or the control board cannot detect drum movement.

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

5-circuit wire harness connector for dryers. Connects wiring harness to control board. Replace if cracked, damaged, or pins are bent or corroded.

This is a small encoder wheel that attaches to the control knob shaft on the dryer.

Wire harness that routes electrical power between dryer components. Replace if wiring is damaged, connectors are worn, or harness is broken or missing.

This control knob replaces a worn or broken range/dryer control knob to restore reliable selection and adjustment of settings. It provides a firm grip and clear pointer for accurate control of the appliance functions. What it does

• Turns control shafts to select temperature, cycle, or power settings
• Restores a secure grip when the original knob is cracked or loose
• Helps eliminate intermittent or inaccurate user input caused by damaged controls
• Works with the matching splined shaft style for a snug fit

• One control knob

• Pull the old knob straight off the control shaft; align the knob's splines and push the new knob on until fully seated
• If the knob is tight, use steady pressure—do not hammer or force, which can damage the shaft
• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing electronic control areas and follow all safety guidelines

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
