Whirlpool Baffle Parts

This drum baffle restores proper fabric tumbling and gentle movement inside the dryer drum for more even drying and fewer snags. It fits the drum to help lift and separate items during the cycle. What it does:

• Lifts and guides clothes as the drum rotates to promote consistent tumbling
• Reduces fabric bunching and helps improve air exposure for more even drying
• Prevents garments from riding on the drum seam and reduces rubbing/snags
• Can stop or reduce thumping or uneven tumbling when a worn baffle is the cause

• One drum baffle

• Disconnect power before beginning work
• Installation typically requires opening the dryer's front or top panel and rotating/removing the drum—follow your model's service manual
• Keep track of fasteners and note baffle orientation; replace any damaged clips or screws
• Wear gloves and eye protection; watch for sharp edges and pinch points during reassembly

This drum baffle is the interior vane that lifts and tumbles clothes inside the dryer drum, helping move garments for even drying and reducing tangling. It replaces a worn or broken vane to restore normal tumbling action. What it does:

• Guides and lifts clothes as the drum rotates to improve airflow and drying consistency
• Reduces garment bunching and helps prevent tangling during cycles
• Prevents direct cloth contact with the drum shell where worn or broken baffles can catch fabric
• Restores proper drum rotation balance when a missing or damaged baffle causes wobble or uneven wear

• Intended for a user familiar with appliance repair; disconnect power before servicing
• Typically installs from inside the dryer cabinet or by removing the drum; follow OEM diagram for exact procedure
• Inspect mounting tabs and screws; replace any damaged fasteners for a secure fit
• If dryer shows additional noise or vibration after replacement, recheck alignment and mounting hardware

This drum baffle (drum lifter) helps lift and separate laundry as the drum turns to promote even tumbling and improved air circulation for better drying. Designed to replace a worn or damaged lifter and restore normal drum action. What it does:

• Lifts and moves clothes during a drying cycle to prevent clumping and improve airflow
• Helps maintain even tumbling to reduce drying times and uneven drying
• Replaces broken, cracked or missing lifters that can cause noise or fabric snags
• Contributes to quieter operation by restoring proper load balance

• One drum baffle (drum lifter)

• Disconnect power (and gas supply if applicable) before starting any repair
• Replacement typically requires access to the dryer cabinet and drum — keep fasteners and clips in a safe place
• Inspect mounting points and surrounding drum for wear; replace any damaged hardware
• Test run the dryer after installation to ensure secure fit and normal operation

This burner baffle sits under the cooktop burner to direct heat and protect surrounding components, helping maintain even flame distribution and preventing debris from falling into the burner area. What it does:

• Shields the area under the burner from spills, grease and food debris.
• Helps route heat and combustion gases away from sensitive components.
• Supports stable burner operation and consistent heating performance.
• Commonly replaced when warped, corroded or damaged by spills.

• Turn off gas and power to the appliance before servicing; follow all safety precautions.
• Remove burner grates and caps to access the baffle; use basic hand tools.
• Inspect surrounding components (burner head, igniter) while the baffle is removed.

This oven burner baffle is a metal heat shield that directs heat and protects the oven floor and internal components for reliable cooking performance. It helps maintain even heating and keeps burner flames contained away from oven panels. What it does:

• Shields oven bottom and internal components from direct flame and high heat
• Helps stabilize burner flames for more consistent cooking and baking
• Prevents heat-related damage to oven floor and nearby parts
• Reduces hotspots that can cause uneven baking or browning

• One oven burner baffle

• Disconnect power and shut off gas supply before servicing;
• Handle carefully—edges may be sharp; wear gloves and eye protection
• Ensure the baffle is seated and secured per the oven's parts diagram to avoid rattling or interference with the burner

This baffle is a direct-fit replacement part that helps restore the appliance's intended internal flow and operation. Install the baffle to replace a cracked, broken, or missing piece and help maintain consistent performance. What it does:

• Redirects internal flow to support proper operation and distribution
• Prevents internal components or items from contacting moving parts
• Helps reduce uneven performance caused by a damaged or missing baffle
• Matches the OEM shape so it fits into the existing mounting points

• Disconnect power (and water supply if applicable) before beginning any repair
• Basic hand tools may be required; handle edges carefully to avoid damage

This burner baffle directs heat and flame away from sensitive components to help maintain even cooking and protect the range's internal parts. It's a direct-replacement trim piece used on compatible gas ranges and cooktops. What it does:

• Shields and redirects burner flame to reduce hot spots and protect nearby components
• Helps maintain more consistent surface temperatures during use
• Prevents flame impingement on adjacent parts that can cause discoloration or premature wear
• Supports proper burner operation by holding components in correct alignment

• One burner baffle

• Disconnect power and shut off the gas supply before starting work; allow all components to cool
• Basic hand tools are typically required; handle the baffle carefully to avoid bending or scratching
• Verify correct fit and orientation from the parts diagram before final reassembly

This heat deflector routes hot air inside the dryer cabinet to ensure proper airflow and heating performance. It helps maintain even drying and prevents hot spots that can reduce drying efficiency. What it does:

• Directs and channels heated air to the drum and exhaust pathways
• Helps maintain even drying and consistent heat distribution
• Can prevent localized overheating or restricted airflow when damaged
• Commonly replaced when dryer has uneven drying or internal airflow obstructions

• Disconnect power (unplug electric or shut off gas and unplug) before starting any repair
• Typically mounted with screws; basic hand tools (screwdriver/socket) are usually required
• Inspect surrounding seals and ducts for damage while replacing the deflector
• Handle carefully—edges may be sharp and panels can be fragile
