• Helps maintain a tight, leak-resistant seal at the joint
• Restores proper water flow when a tube or connector is damaged
• Typical symptoms: water leaking at the connection, reduced or no water flow, visible cracks/kinks, loose fit

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing

This mechanical timer controls your dryer's cycle sequencing. It advances through timed and automatic settings, routes power through internal contacts, and shuts the unit off at the end of the cycle to restore reliable operation.

• Advances cycles in timed and auto-dry modes
• Directs power to motor/heater via internal switch contacts
• Ends the cycle and turns the dryer off at completion
• Failure symptoms include the timer not advancing, dryer running continuously, won't start on certain settings, or auto-dry not progressing

• Disconnect power; turn off gas supply for gas models before servicing
• Access the timer from the control console; remove the knob/dial if needed
• Transfer wires one at a time to matching terminals on the new timer

This thermal cut-off (TML) is a temperature safety device that opens the circuit if overheating is detected, protecting components from heat damage. Replace a failed or tripped cut-off to restore safe, reliable operation.

• Monitors temperature at its mounting point and interrupts power at a preset limit
• Helps prevent overheating damage to components and wiring
• Typical symptoms include no power, shutting off during use, or no heat—depending on where it's installed
• Can be tested with a multimeter; an open (no continuity) reading indicates replacement is needed

• Disconnect power before servicing; some appliances (e.g., microwaves) can store dangerous high voltage—use proper discharge procedures
• Replace with the same type/rating and mount in the same location/orientation as the original
• Ensure solid contact with the sensing surface and clear airflow/venting to prevent repeat overheating
• Do not bypass thermal safety devices; verify proper operation after installation

This lock cam is a small actuator that drives the appliance's door-lock mechanism. It translates the lock actuator's movement into a positive latch, helping the door lock securely when required and release correctly so cycles start and finish properly.

• Interfaces with the lock actuator and latch to engage and release the lock
• Wear, cracking, or rounding can cause the lock not to engage or to stick
• Common symptoms include a door/lid that won't lock or unlock, loose lock lever, clicking without latching, or door/lock-related error messages
• Restores proper linkage travel and switch actuation when the original cam is worn or damaged

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Access the lock mechanism per your model; note the cam's orientation and any springs/linkages
• Install the new cam fully seated and ensure it engages the actuator and latch smoothly
• Reassemble, restore power, and test lock operation

The Dryer Door Hinge Assembly is an OEM part for Whirlpool electric and gas dryers. As a critical component, this assembly supports the dryer door and allows for smooth opening and closing. 

Causes of failure include frequent use, which causes hinge components like bushings and bearings to wear out more quickly over time. Housing cracks or mechanical loosening from repeated operation are other issues.

Symptoms of a faulty door hinge assembly include: 

• Door that won't stay closed securely or slams shut on its own   
• Difficulty smoothly opening and closing the door
• Excessive gaps around the edges that allow lint to escape

This genuine Whirlpool replacement fits Maytag, Amana, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, and select Kenmore dryers.
