This strike is the latch receiver the door or lid engages when closed. Replacing a worn or broken strike restores a secure close and ensures the control correctly senses a closed door so cycles can run. What it does:

• Provides the fixed catch point for the latch mechanism
• Keeps the door/lid closed and properly aligned during operation
• Works with the interlock/switch to signal that the door/lid is closed
• Common symptoms: door won't latch or pops open, "door/lid open" message, cycle won't start, visible damage to the strike

• 1 strike

• Disconnect electrical power to the appliance; shut off water if applicable
• Open the door/lid and remove the original strike (typically secured by screws or retaining tabs)
• Position and secure the new strike, reusing original hardware; tighten snugly without over-tightening
• Close and open the door/lid to confirm smooth latch engagement and alignment; adjust if needed

• Support the heater housing and keep wiring clear while removing/installing the bracket
• After installation, verify the housing sits square and clear of the drum and wiring before restoring power

This stacking kit secures a dryer on top of a compatible washer to save floor space and stabilize the stacked units. It helps keep the dryer aligned and reduces shifting or rocking during use. What it does:

• Provides a secure connection between dryer and washer to create a stable stacked laundry configuration.
• Helps prevent the dryer from sliding, tilting, or shifting during spin cycles — common signs a stack kit is needed.
• Uses brackets and mounting hardware to fasten the dryer to the washer and maintain alignment.

• Disconnect power to both appliances and follow all safety precautions before starting installation.
• Have a second person assist when lifting or positioning the dryer to avoid injury or damage.

This replacement key restores operation of a factory-installed lock on select appliances, letting you securely lock or unlock a door, lid, or compartment when the original key is lost or damaged. What it does:

• Operates the keyed lock cylinder to lock and unlock the appliance compartment
• Restores access when the original key is missing, bent, or broken
• Helps keep contents secure by re-enabling the lock function

• Insert fully and turn gently—do not force the cylinder
• If the lock is stiff, clean the keyway; use only manufacturer-approved lubricants if needed
• Disconnect power before any related service; keep the key out of children's reach

Restore reliable heat to your dryer. This replacement heating element generates the hot air needed to dry laundry efficiently, helping cycles reach proper temperature and finish on time when the original element has failed.

• Converts electrical energy into heat to warm air passing through the drum
• Failure modes include open coil or short-to-housing
• Common symptoms: no heat, weak heat, longer dry times, visible breaks or hotspots on the coil, tripped breaker or thermal cutoff
• Useful diagnostic step: check the element for continuity and for shorts to ground

• Disconnect power before service; elements get extremely hot and retain sharp edges
• Handle the coil carefully and avoid bending or touching the bare element; support terminals/insulators during transfer
• Move any reusable brackets, insulators, or wiring from the original as required
• After installation, check related thermostats/thermal cutoffs if heat issues persist

Replacement drum baffle that lifts and tumbles clothes inside the dryer for more even drying and helps prevent garments from snagging. Restores proper drum agitation to reduce noise and improve drying performance. What it does:

• Lifts and separates clothes as the drum turns to promote even heat exposure and drying.
• Helps keep items from bunching or wrapping around the drum, which can cause uneven drying.
• Reduces rattling, thumping, or scraping noises tied to a loose or damaged lifter.
• Protects fabrics from snagging or rubbing against the drum surface.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning service to avoid shock or injury.
• Access may require removing the dryer front panel or drum.
• Keep fasteners and mounting tabs aligned during reassembly to ensure the baffle seats correctly.
