Whirlpool Dryer Parts

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

Lint filter catches fluff and debris before it escapes the dryer vent. Replace when clogged or damaged to maintain airflow and prevent blockages.

Fiberglass-reinforced door seal that restores airtight closure to maintain consistent temps and reduce energy waste. Replace if torn or compressed.

Heat-resistant fiberglass gasket seals your oven door perimeter to maintain consistent temperatures. Replace when worn, frayed, or flattened to restore efficiency. Verify fit by model number.

This is the outer cover that protects the electrical terminal block on the back of a dryer. It shields the power cord connection point from accidental contact and helps prevent dust or debris from reaching the wiring terminals. Replace this cover if it is cracked, broken, or missing to ensure safe operation and protect the electrical connections.

• Helps resolve no power, intermittent power loss, or tripped breaker issues
• Replace if the cord is cut, frayed, melted, discolored, or feels hot at the plug
• Restores safe operation when the original plug or insulation is damaged

• Disconnect power at the outlet or circuit breaker before servicing
• Note wire routing and connection points; match the original orientation for hot, neutral, and ground

It covers unused hinge mounting holes to provide a clean, finished appearance, especially after reversing the door swing. Replace this plug if it has cracked, fallen out, or gone missing, leaving an exposed hole in the door.

This internal-bias thermostat controls exhaust temperature in your dryer, cycling the heat on and off to maintain proper drying temperatures. Replacing a failed thermostat can restore consistent drying performance and help protect the dryer from overheating shutdowns.

• Monitors exhaust air temperature and opens/closes the heating circuit to regulate heat
• Provides the bias function used by automatic cycles for correct temperature control
• Failure symptoms can include no heat or low heat, long dry times, overheating or high-limit trips, and inconsistent cycling temperatures
• Helps prevent thermal cutoffs caused by restricted airflow or faulty temperature regulation

• Disconnect power before servicing; for gas models, also shut off the gas supply
• Access location is typically on the blower/exhaust housing; note wire positions and transfer one at a time
• Ensure the thermostat mounts flush for proper sensing; tighten screws securely
• After replacement, verify good airflow and clear venting to prevent repeat failures
