Whirlpool Dryer Parts

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.

This replacement seal restores a tight barrier at its mounting point in your appliance. It helps prevent leaks and maintains performance by ensuring a proper fit between connected components where fluids or air must be contained. Location varies by model.

• Creates a reliable seal between mating parts to contain water or air
• Helps stop drips, seepage, and unwanted airflow that can affect performance
• Replace if cracked, flattened, swollen, or leaking
• Common symptoms: moisture under/around unit, residue, or diminished efficiency
• Direct-fit replacement to match the original part's size and profile

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, shut off water supply before servicing
• Note the original seal's orientation; clean and dry all sealing surfaces
• Lightly moisten or use only manufacturer-approved lubricant; avoid petroleum products unless directed
• Seat evenly without twisting; after reassembly, run a test cycle and check for leaks

This high-limit thermostat is a temperature safety switch for the heating circuit. It opens the circuit if temperatures climb too high, helping protect the appliance and restore safe, reliable heating performance.

• Monitors temperature and interrupts power to the heater when a limit is exceeded
• Helps prevent overheating that can damage components or trip other safeties
• If failed open: heater won't energize; cycles may run long or never reach target temperature
• If stuck closed: unit may overheat or shut down as other safety devices trip

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing; allow the appliance to cool completely
• Access the thermostat at the heater/temperature control area as designed for your model
• Note wire positions and transfer one at a time; ensure tight, secure connections
• After replacement, inspect the heater and controls for issues that could cause overheating

The Door Strike is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. This component ensures the dryer door securely latches, enabling the appliance to operate and preventing it from running with the door ajar. It works in conjunction with the door catch to maintain a proper seal during drying cycles.

Symptoms of a bad Door Strike include:

• The dryer door not latching or staying closed
• The dryer not starting due to the door remaining open
• The door popping open during operation
• Visible wear, bending, or damage to the strike

Causes of a failing Door Strike can include regular wear and tear, misalignment from improper use, or damage from slamming the door. Replacing a faulty strike ensures the dryer operates safely and efficiently.

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

• Helps resolve issues like a cracked/broken or wobbly/missing handle
• Improves ease of use when the handle no longer secures properly
• Refreshes worn or discolored exterior appearance with a matching OEM-style finish

• One handle in white

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing; turn off gas if applicable
• Access and remove the fasteners securing the old handle, noting their location/orientation

• Start all fasteners by hand, tighten evenly, and verify secure fit and smooth operation

This flexible, narrow brush reaches under and behind the cabinet to sweep dust and lint from condenser coils and vents. Cleaning built-up debris helps restore airflow and support proper cooling performance.

• Sweeps dust, lint, and pet hair from condenser coils and ventilation areas
• Flexible reach helps access coils beneath or behind the appliance
• Aids proper heat dissipation by clearing airflow paths
• Helpful when coils are visibly dirty, cooling seems weak, or the unit runs longer than usual

• Unplug or disconnect power before cleaning
• Remove the toe grille or rear access panel if needed to access coils
• Brush gently along the coil fins; avoid bending fins or damaging tubing
• Vacuum or wipe up loosened debris before replacing any panels and restoring power

This is the stirrer motor assembly that drives the metal stirrer in the microwave's waveguide. A working stirrer helps distribute microwave energy more evenly, reducing hot and cold spots for consistent heating.

• Rotates the mode stirrer to spread RF energy inside the cavity
• Symptoms of a failing motor can include uneven heating, cold spots, buzzing or grinding from the waveguide area, or the stirrer not turning
• May restore even cooking performance when the original motor is worn or seized

• Unplug the appliance before servicing; high-voltage components in microwaves can retain a dangerous charge
• Remove the grill/cover and access panel to reach the stirrer motor location
• Transfer any mounting hardware from the original part if not supplied
• Ensure the stirrer blade or coupler is correctly seated and turns freely before reassembly

Includes two bumpers and two locking clips. You will use one or the other depending on hole size.

This dryer power cord connects an electric dryer to a 4-prong household outlet. Replace a worn or damaged cord to restore a safe, reliable power connection and help prevent intermittent power or overheating at the cord connection. What it does:

• Connects an electric dryer to a 4-prong receptacle for proper power and grounding
• Four-conductor design supports modern installation requirements
• Replaces cords with cracked insulation, loose prongs, or burned terminals

• 1 dryer power cord

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Attach to the dryer terminal block per the appliance's wiring diagram and secure the strain relief

This replacement switch restores reliable on/off signaling to the circuit it controls, helping your appliance start, stop, and respond correctly. A worn switch can cause intermittent operation, no response, or lights and functions that don't activate. What it does:

• Provides an electrical open/closed signal to enable functions like starting a cycle, powering a motor or light, or shutting a feature off
• Acts as a safety/position interlock (such as door, lid, float, or hood) depending on the model
• Typical symptoms include won't start, won't stop, light won't turn on/off, or intermittent operation
• Can be checked with a multimeter for continuity when actuated

• 1 switch

• Disconnect power before servicing; turn off gas or water supply if applicable
• Access the switch, note wire locations, and transfer leads one at a time to the new switch
• Mount securely, ensure the actuator aligns and wires aren't pinched
• Reassemble and test operation before finalizing

This coin chute guides coins from the slide into the coin mechanism so the machine can register payment and begin a cycle. Keeping the chute intact and aligned helps prevent jams and misfeeds in coin-operated laundry equipment.

• Directs coins from the slide to the coin mechanism to register payment
• Helps ensure smooth coin drop, reducing bounce-back and misfeeds
• Common fix when coins jam, fall into the cabinet, or the unit won't start after payment
• Replace if cracked, bent, corroded, or missing

• Disconnect power; shut off gas before service
• Open the coin housing/slide assembly and retain existing hardware
• Install the new chute in the same orientation; align with slide and mechanism, then secure
• Test with sample coins to ensure proper drop and operation before returning to service
