Whirlpool Dryer Parts

Mounting screw secures panels, brackets, and trim to the appliance frame. Replace if screw is stripped, missing, or damaged to restore secure fastening.

If your dryer takes too long or overheats, a worn blower wheel may be reducing airflow. This assembly restores proper air circulation through the drum.

Replacement mounting screw for securing panels, brackets, and internal components. Needed when original screws are stripped, missing, or damaged during repair.

Fix a dryer that won't heat or has a weak flame with this gas burner orifice. Controls proper fuel flow for consistent heating. Direct replacement part.

This cycling thermostat monitors the air temperature inside the dryer drum and signals the heating element to turn on or off to maintain the correct drying temperature. It is typically mounted on the blower housing or exhaust duct. Replace this thermostat if the dryer is not heating, overheating, or shutting off too early during a cycle.

This 5-foot flexible aluminum vent hose is a bendable, accordion-style exhaust duct that connects your dryer's exhaust outlet to the wall vent, allowing for easy routing around obstacles in tight laundry spaces. The flexible design lets you position the dryer close to the wall even when the vent connection is not perfectly aligned. Replace this hose if it is crushed, torn, or disconnected, as a damaged hose can cause poor drying performance, excess heat buildup, or a lint fire hazard.

This replacement door handle restores a secure, easy-to-grip surface for opening and closing the appliance door and refreshes the door's appearance. Designed to match factory fit and function when the original handle is cracked, loose, or missing. What it does:

• Provides a firm, ergonomic grip for opening and closing the appliance door.
• Restores proper mounting and alignment if the original handle is damaged or wobbly.
• Helps prevent injury from sharp or broken handle edges.
• Improves the appearance of the appliance door when the original is faded, cracked, or missing.

• One replacement door handle

• Before starting, disconnect power to the appliance or unplug it to reduce shock risk.
• Remove any trim or access panels per the service instructions to access handle fasteners.
• Keep original screws and small parts; use the OEM diagram to confirm orientation and placement.
• Do not overtighten fasteners—snug only to avoid cracking the handle.

The Bulkhead is an OEM component for Whirlpool dryers. As a structural panel, it secures the rear of the appliance while enabling airflow behind sliding doors. 

Formed from durable composite, the lightweight bulkhead installs easily into precise slotted tracks inside the chassis. This allows full retraction during maintenance without removing additional panels. 

Causes of a faulty bulkhead can include cracked welds or screws stripping their anchors from extreme force vibration over many years of use.

Causes of a bad bulkhead can include:

• Noisy rattling and resonance as the dryer operates  
• Restricted door movement from misalignment
• Inability to fully access internal components  
• Excessive ducting leaks from gasket compression failure

Replace yours with this genuine Whirlpool bulkhead to restore smooth, tight operation. Compatible with Kenmore, Maytag, and KitchenAid dryers.

Replacement screw secures panels, brackets, and trim on washers and dryers. Replace missing, stripped, or damaged fasteners to restore proper fit.

The dryer grounding clip is a small metal fastener that maintains a secure electrical ground connection between components inside your dryer.
