Whirlpool Dryer Duct Parts

The Air Duct is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. It is responsible for carrying hot air from the dryer drum to the vent outlet, ensuring proper airflow and drying.

A bad air duct can occur due to wear and tear, damage, or clogging. If you notice symptoms such as longer drying times, poor drying results, or excessive heat inside the dryer, it may be time to replace the air duct.

Symptoms of a bad air duct include:

• Longer drying times
• Poor drying performance
• Excessive heat inside the dryer

Restore your dryer by replacing the faulty or damaged air duct with this genuine OEM part.

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
 

Dryer Vent Test Kit ensures your dryer's vent system is operating properly. Kit includes two tests depending on the location of your dryer's lint screen: One for the lint screen in the top of your dryer, and one for the lint screen in the front of your dryer. Instructions included.

This replacement box/housing restores the appliance's original enclosure where internal components mount, protecting wiring and parts from damage. It helps maintain safe operation and prevents loose components from shifting. What it does:

• Provides a protective enclosure for internal components and wiring
• Keeps parts properly positioned to prevent rubbing or disconnection
• Helps reduce vibration-related noise caused by loose components
• Restores a secure mounting point for associated hardware

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any work
• Remove panels as needed to access the original box; keep fasteners for reuse
• Inspect surrounding wiring and components while installing the new box

This exhaust vent extension provides extra duct length to move dryer or hood exhaust farther from the appliance, improving airflow routing and helping reduce backpressure and lint buildup in short-vent installations. What it does:

• Extends the length of an existing exhaust duct to reach a distant vent outlet
• Helps restore proper ventilation when original ducting is too short
• Reduces restricted airflow that can cause longer dry times or excess lint accumulation
• Works as an inline rigid/semirigid extension piece for exhaust systems

• Disconnect power (and gas for gas dryers) before accessing or modifying exhaust connections
• Remove lint and debris from ducting before installing the extension to ensure clear airflow
• Securely fasten with appropriate clamps or foil tape and maintain a smooth, unobstructed path

This exhaust vent extension restores proper exhaust airflow by lengthening or adapting the appliance exhaust outlet to the vent duct. It helps maintain safe ventilation and reduces backpressure that can cause poor performance or odors. What it does:

• Extends or adapts the appliance exhaust outlet to reach the home vent duct
• Directs exhaust airflow to reduce backflow and help prevent overheating
• Helps resolve symptoms like weak venting, lingering odors, or unusual appliance cycling
• Provides a stable connection point for the exhaust duct to improve sealing and airflow

• Turn off and disconnect power (and gas if applicable) to the appliance before installing.
• Use proper fasteners and high-temperature-rated duct tape or clamps as recommended by the appliance manufacturer.

This air duct assembly directs dryer exhaust airflow to the vent path, restoring proper air movement for efficient drying and safer operation. Replaces a damaged, cracked, or restricted duct to help reduce long dry times and airflow problems. What it does

• Channels heated air from the blower housing toward the exhaust vent.
• Restores proper airflow to reduce extended dry cycles and improve lint evacuation.
• Helps prevent overheating caused by a blocked or broken duct.
• Can reduce abnormal noises from air leaks or rattling duct sections.

• One air duct assembly.

• Disconnect power (and gas supply for gas models) before starting any repairs.
• Inspect adjoining seals and clamps; replace if worn to ensure a secure, leak-free fit.
• Wear gloves to protect hands from sharp edges and lint.
