Parts for Kitchenaid KUDR204KPA00: Unit Parts

This control box is the appliance's electronic control module that manages cycles, timing and user interface functions. Replacing a failed control box restores proper electronic control and helps return the appliance to normal operation. What it does

• Receives button/knob inputs and runs selected cycles according to programmed logic
• Controls power to motors, heaters and valves via internal relays and circuitry
• Can resolve symptoms like no response to controls, intermittent operation, or failure to start
• Helps clear erratic behavior caused by a damaged or shorted control assembly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any service
• Handle the control board and connectors by the edges; avoid touching components
• Transfer any user interface, bracketry or harnesses exactly as removed

This replacement dryer tube channels heated air from the dryer cabinet to the lint filter/blower and exhaust path, restoring proper airflow and helping the cycle dry clothes efficiently. Use it when the original tube is cracked, crushed, or blocked. What it does

• Directs dryer airflow from the drum/blower chamber to the lint trap and exhaust.
• Helps maintain proper venting to prevent overheating and inefficient drying.
• Reduces air leaks that can cause longer dry times or hot spots.
• Minimizes lint buildup in the cabinet by providing a smooth, routed path for debris to the lint filter.

• One dryer tube

• Disconnect power (and gas supply if applicable) before servicing; ensure the dryer is completely powered off.
• Remove front or rear access panel as required to reach and replace the tube; keep fasteners for reassembly.
• Inspect adjacent seals and clamps; replace any damaged gaskets or worn clamps for a secure fit.
• Use gloves to avoid sharp sheet-metal edges and run a short test cycle to ensure proper airflow and quiet operation.

This PTC relay is the start device that helps the refrigerator/freezer compressor get up to speed so the cooling system runs properly. Replacing a failed relay can restore normal compressor startup and improve cooling reliability. What it does:

• Provides the initial start boost to the compressor motor so it can begin running
• Stops the compressor from repeatedly failing to start, which can prevent cooling
• Commonly linked to symptoms like the compressor clicking, running intermittently, or the appliance not cooling
• Works as the replaceable electrical start component — not a capacitor or overload protector

• Disconnect power before accessing the compressor area to avoid shock
• Verify wiring and match the relay visually and by part number before installing
• Handle gently; do not attempt to modify or repair the relay
