Description

This deflector directs airflow inside the dryer to help maintain even drying and protect internal components from redirected heat. It's a simple replacement that restores proper air routing for more consistent performance. What it does:

• Guides hot air through the drum and exhaust path to promote even drying
• Helps prevent hotspots and reduces prolonged dry times caused by poor airflow
• Protects adjacent components by channeling heat away from sensitive areas
• Reduces abnormal noises caused by loose or damaged airflow parts

What's included:

• One deflector

Install notes:

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Access may require removing the dryer front or top panel; keep track of fasteners
• Replace with the correct orientation and secure all mounting points
