Description

The Idler Shaft Retaining Ring is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. Also called an "E" ring, it is a sealing gasket positioned between the front and rear housing omponents. Maintaining an airtight seal prevents gas leakage and promotes efficient drying performance.  

Causes of a bad retaining ring commonly involve compression loss of the rubber gasket material over many years of heating cycles. Exposure to petroleum-based cleaners may prematurely deteriorate the seal as well.

Symptoms of a failed 'E' ring include: 

  • Gas leaks emitting foul odors around seams or vents   
  • Reduced heat conductivity hampering dryer functioning
  • Moisture accumulation shortens fabric lifespan  
  •  Drafts compromising indoor air quality and energy bills

This OEM Whirlpool replacement part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore gas dryer models. 

This part fixes the following symptoms

  • Will not tumble

What customers say

Customers say this E ring went into dryers repaired for noise such as squealing, squeaking or thumping. Several replaced it on dryers whose drum had stopped turning. New washers for the pulley or roller shafts were commonly ordered with it. For a few, new drum rollers alone did not stop the squeal, and the real cause was the worn idler pulley.
