• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing
• Remove the outer door panel to access the transition duct and cover plate
• Note the seal's orientation, remove the old gasket, and clean mating surfaces
• Seat the new seal evenly and reassemble; test a short cycle to check for leaks

The Cover is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This part secures the lint screen in place and ensures that lint, dust, and other debris are effectively captured before they can enter the dryer's vent system.  

Common causes of a bad dryer cover include physical impact, heat-related warping, or degradation over time. A compromised cover can lead to exposure of internal components, potentially affecting the dryer’s performance and safety.

Symptoms of a bad Cover include:

• The lint screen does not stay securely in place.
• Increased lint accumulation within the dryer or vent system.
• The dryer takes longer to dry clothes, indicating airflow issues.
• Visible damage or warping of the cover, which can prevent it from fitting properly.

Symptoms of a bad thermostat include:

• Inability to increase air temperature above a certain point
• Overheating errors
• Slow or incomplete drying even on high heat settings
• Socks ending up damp after an entire cycle

This genuine OEM replacement part is a burner and gas valve assembly for dryers. The burner and gas valve assembly is a complete assembly that contains the burner that distributes the gas in a way that creates an even flame allowing for heat to be distributed properly to perform the dryer's essential function. If the dryer is no longer drying clothes effectively or heating properly, then it might be time for it to be replaced. Luckily repairing a gas valve assembly is a relatively simple job.To replace the burner and gas valve assembly, begin by shutting off power to the appliance. Next, pull the dryer away from the wall to gain access to the back panel. Remove the back panel and locate the burner and gas valve assembly. Remove the mounting screws that hold it in place. After removing the screws use both hands to pull and release the old burner assembly. Set it off to the side and proceed to install the new one by refastening the screws that hold it in place.This replacement part is compatible with Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Sears/Kenmore brand washers.

This stationary drying rack sits inside the dryer drum to dry items flat without tumbling. It replaces a missing or damaged rack so you can properly dry sweaters, shoes, and other items that shouldn't rotate in the drum. What it does:

• Disconnect power before servicing; for high-voltage appliances (e.g., microwaves), discharge capacitors
• Match terminal orientation to the original and transfer wires one at a time
• Install in the original bracket/orientation so the actuator aligns with the latch/striker
• Verify operation with a continuity test before reassembly

The lid hinge bearing is used for the lid hinges on washers and dryers. When functioning properly, it allows the lid to open and close properly. If this is a problem with the bearing, it could make the lid difficult to move. In some cases, when the lid will not close, it means that the machine will not function correctly. Damaged lid hinge bearings should be replaced as soon as possible.The lid hinge bearings see a lot of work since they are in use whenever the lid of the washer or dryer opens and closes. They could become cracked and broken over time. Replacing the bearings is a relatively simple repair that owners can make on their own.This lid hinge bearing is for use with many models of washers and dryers from Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Roper, Estate, Inglis, Maytag, Admiral, Amana, Crosley, and Magic Chef. This is a genuine OEM replacement part that has been sourced from the manufacturer. The piece is sold individually, so if owners need to replace more than one hinge, they will need to buy multiples.
