Whirlpool W10857122 Light Bulb OEM Part

I went on line and purchased all of the possible parts that could be worn out. I spent less than the service guy wanted to show up...The online videos were spot on. Two hours and it works like new! One of the best values on the Internet!

1. Purchased a new Facade. The removal of the old one was relatively easy except that the two screws that hold it in place (behind the spill tray) were rusted (they should have used stainless steel ones) one came out with a vise grip but on the other I had to buy an "Easy Out" tool from Home Depot, once out the unit drops down. Had my wife hold the new unit, swiped the wires from old to new, removed the control board from the old one and installed it on the new one with one screw and cleaned the calcium deposits from the exterior of the water tube with CLR. Unit goes straight in and up then installed the two new screws and washers that I bought from the hardware store for 45 cents. 2. Purchased a new Insert. This was interesting as our ref. is an Admiral and the Insert has been discontinued (does not make any sense) so we ordered the one for the Maytag ,same unit but the insert has five buttons and it says Maytag, functions just the same. 3. Purchased a new light bulb. Works great! Ref looks like new

Put in the parts that were worn ( 2 Glide felt pads, 2 Drum glides, and 2 Glide brackets. ) plus a new bulb. Now it's working like a new one again. ( It is ten years old )

Replaced all parts and dryer started right up. note vacuumed vent hose very well i believe this was what caused thermal fuse to fail. air way was about 80-90% restricted causing dryer to cycle

Ordered parts from Appliance Parts Pros on Tuesday night and had them on Friday. I installed new belt, rollers, and belt guides and everything is good to go on our 9 year old Amana dryer.
