Whirlpool Dryer Duct Parts

This is the heater housing box that directs heated air from the heating element into the dryer drum. It forms an enclosed duct pathway to ensure proper airflow during the drying cycle. Replace this part if the dryer is not heating efficiently, takes too long to dry clothes, or the housing is cracked, warped, or damaged from excessive heat.

This 5-foot flexible aluminum vent hose is a bendable, accordion-style exhaust duct that connects your dryer's exhaust outlet to the wall vent, allowing for easy routing around obstacles in tight laundry spaces.

Replace this hose if it is crushed, torn, or disconnected, as a damaged hose can cause poor drying performance, excess heat buildup, or a lint fire hazard.
