Whirlpool Dryer Parts

8-foot flexible exhaust hose that channels airflow from your dryer to the exterior vent. Replace if torn, kinked, crushed, or clogged with lint buildup.

White plastic plug insert for dryer side panels. Fills mounting holes for a clean finish. Replace if cracked, broken, or missing from installation.

This is a small rubber or plastic bumper that attaches to the console area of an ice machine. It acts as a cushion to prevent vibration noise and protect surfaces from impact during operation. Replace this bumper if it is cracked, missing, or deteriorated, which can cause rattling sounds or allow the console to shift out of position.

Stacking kit secures dryer on top of washer for space-saving installation. Replace if brackets are missing, broken, or worn from previous setup.

Dryer outer cabinet that houses internal components. Replace if your cabinet is rusted, dented, cracked, or damaged, compromising structural integrity.

This exhaust vent extension restores proper exhaust airflow by lengthening or adapting the appliance exhaust outlet to the vent duct. It helps maintain safe ventilation and reduces backpressure that can cause poor performance or odors. What it does:

• Extends or adapts the appliance exhaust outlet to reach the home vent duct
• Directs exhaust airflow to reduce backflow and help prevent overheating
• Helps resolve symptoms like weak venting, lingering odors, or unusual appliance cycling
• Provides a stable connection point for the exhaust duct to improve sealing and airflow

• Turn off and disconnect power (and gas if applicable) to the appliance before installing.
• Use proper fasteners and high-temperature-rated duct tape or clamps as recommended by the appliance manufacturer.

This is a small encoder wheel that attaches to the control knob shaft on the dryer. It works with the electronic control board to register the rotation of the selector knob, allowing you to choose cycle settings and options. Replace this wheel if the control knob spins freely without changing settings, clicks inconsistently, or if the dryer no longer responds to knob adjustments.

This small adapter wheel connects to the dryer's encoder mechanism, which helps the control board track drum position and cycle progress. It links the encoder to the drive system, translating mechanical rotation into signals the electronic control can read. Replace this part if your dryer displays error codes related to cycle sensing, fails to advance through cycles properly, or the control board cannot detect drum movement.

This is a drum glide bearing insert that sits between the dryer drum and the front bulkhead to allow smooth rotation. It reduces friction and noise as the drum turns during drying cycles. Replace this insert if the dryer is squeaking, scraping, or making thumping noises, or if you notice scuff marks on the front of the drum.

This is an electronic thermostat rated at 155°F that monitors and regulates the air temperature inside the dryer drum. It signals the control board to cycle the heating element on and off to maintain proper drying temperatures. Replace this thermostat if your dryer is overheating, not heating at all, or shutting off prematurely during a cycle.

Control panel for dryers. Installs on the front of the unit housing the display and buttons. Replace if cracked, damaged, or faded from wear and age.

This touch-up paint restores small chips and scratches on painted appliance surfaces to improve appearance and slow corrosion. It's a simple cosmetic repair that helps appliances look cared-for between major services. What it does:

• Covers minor paint chips, nicks and surface scratches
• Helps restore a uniform finish on exterior panels and trim
• Reduces likelihood of surface rust where bare metal is exposed
• Ideal for spot repairs on visible areas without repainting large panels

• One touch-up paint item for appliance finish

• Work in a well-ventilated area and protect surrounding surfaces
• Shake well and test on an inconspicuous spot before applying
• Apply sparingly in thin coats; allow each coat to dry per product instructions
• Keep out of reach of children and away from open flame

This is a flexible seal that fits around the inside perimeter of the dryer door to create an airtight closure between the door and the drum opening. It prevents heated air and moisture from escaping during the drying cycle. Replace this seal if you notice heat leaking from around the door, longer drying times, or if the seal is cracked, torn, or no longer making proper contact.

Secures dryer components in place to prevent movement and maintain proper alignment. Replace if your retainer clip is cracked, broken, or missing.

Fix a dryer that won't start, won't heat, or won't advance cycles. This timer controls drying programs and cycle progression. Moderate DIY repair.
