Whirlpool Dryer Parts

Dryer won't heat or clothes stay wet? A failed heating element is often the cause. This part restores consistent heat to dry clothes properly again.

Replacement dryer seal creates a tight barrier between components to prevent leaks and lint buildup. Replace when worn or brittle to stop drips. Verify fit.

Cushioning pad that installs between the washer lid hinge and cabinet. Replace if cracked, worn, or missing to reduce squeaks and prevent metal wear.

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

This time-delay fuse protects the appliance's power circuit by opening when current exceeds a safe level while tolerating brief inrush current. Replacing a blown fuse can help restore power once the root cause is corrected. What it does:

• Protects the line and control circuits from shorts and overloads
• Time-delay design helps prevent nuisance opening during startup surges
• When open, the unit will be completely dead—no display, lights, or response
• Repeatedly opening usually indicates an unresolved electrical fault that needs diagnosis

• 1 time-delay fuse

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing; some appliances can retain dangerous high voltage
• Replace only with the same type and rating specified by the manufacturer
• Inspect the fuse holder and wiring for heat damage or loose connections before reassembly
• If the new fuse opens immediately, stop and diagnose the underlying cause; never bypass or upsize a fuse

Routes airflow inside your dryer to maintain circulation and temperature. Replace if cracked, warped, rusted, or blocked to restore proper air path.

This is the duct assembly - sometimes called the heater box - that houses or channels heated air from the heating element into the dryer drum. It directs airflow so clothes dry efficiently and evenly. Replace this assembly if it is cracked, warped, or damaged, which can cause poor drying performance, unusual noises, or overheating issues.

Dryer not heating? This heating element restores warmth to both high and low heat cycles. DIY-friendly repair takes about 30 minutes with basic tools.

This cover mounts inside the dryer and shields the drum light from direct contact with tumbling clothes. It helps protect the light bulb and prevents garments from snagging on the light assembly. Replace this cover if it is cracked, melted, missing, or if clothes are catching near the light area during drying cycles.

Short baffle that mounts inside the dryer drum to lift clothes as the drum rotates. Replace if cracked, broken, or missing for proper tumbling action.

Dryer not heating or drying properly? A damaged blower wheel restricts airflow, preventing hot air circulation. Attaches to motor shaft with left-hand threads.

6-foot flexible metal duct connects dryer exhaust to wall vent. Replace if crushed, torn, disconnected, or missing to restore proper airflow path.

Relocates your dryer's exhaust vent from rear to left, right, or bottom. Includes elbows, duct, and instructions. Replace when changing installation.

Adjustable leveling foot threads into washer or dryer base to stabilize appliance on uneven floors. Replace if cracked, worn, or missing to reduce rocking.

Door hinge pin assembly for dryers. Provides the pivot point for your dryer door, supporting its weight during opening and closing. Replace if bent or worn.

This temperature sensor mounts on the sealed-system gas inlet line in compatible refrigerators. It relays precise temperature feedback to the control so cooling and defrost cycles are managed correctly, helping maintain stable compartment temperatures. What it does:

• Senses temperature at the gas-inlet line; resistance changes are read by the control
• Helps regulate compressor, fan, and valve operation for proper cooling performance
• A failed sensor may cause erratic temperatures or extended run times
• Can correlate with control thermistor error codes or frost/ice patterns near the evaporator

• 1 thermistor sensor

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Note original sensor placement and insulation; reinstall in the same location and orientation
• Attach the sensor firmly to the line and route the harness as originally, away from sharp, hot, or moving parts
• Do not open or puncture sealed-system tubing; if damage is suspected, stop.
