Maintenance Kit

Part #4392065
The drum support roller kit (Dryer Repair Kit) allows the dryer to tumble properly by supporting the drum cylinder. The idler pulley provides the tension required for a multi-ribbed belt. The belt attaches to the drum, idler pulley, and motor pulley. If your dryer is damaged, it may be making loud, squeaking, and/or squealing noises while the drum is turning. This is from normal wear and tear. The drum may eventually stop turning all together. This is a sign the part should be replaced. This is one complete maintenance kit. The kit includes the drum belt, drum support rollers, one idler pulley, four tri-rings, and one clip. The parts are constructed of plastic, metal, and rubber, and come in black/white/silver.

Dryer Thermostat Internal bias

(36)
Part #WP8577274
This dryer thermistor is a genuine replacement component designed to monitor and regulate internal temperature in Whirlpool dryers. Mounted on the blower housing, it plays a critical role in controlling the heating element by adjusting resistance as temperatures rise, signaling the control board to maintain safe and efficient drying conditions. A malfunctioning thermistor can result in symptoms such as no heat, overheating, premature cycle termination, or failure to start. It may also trigger fault codes like F-22, F-23, E1, or E2. Replacing the thermistor restores proper temperature regulation, protects the appliance from damage, and improves drying performance. Installation should be performed with the dryer unplugged and may require basic tools.

If your washer shakes or vibrates loudly when it reaches its max speed, check that the leveling legs are even. To ensure that the washer is firmly on the ground using all four legs, adjust the legs so that the machine is level, and tighten the locking nuts on the legs that are threaded. Keep the washer as close to the floor as possible. Your model might have rear legs that level themselves, or it might have threaded legs all around. Make sure the rubber feet have not worn out.

CATCH
★★★★★

(24)
Part #W11429587
This door catch Is an authentic OEM replacement part that is designed to fit with dryers. It is responsible for keeping the dryer door securely closed while it is running. When the door is closed, the catch engages with the door strike and snaps into place, holding the door shut until the drying cycle is completed. Over time the catch may become corroded, worn down, or damaged, or dislodged from frequent use and hard impact. If the catch is faulty, the door may be unable to remain shut. This can lead to heat loss, injury, and potential damage to the dryer itself. If the catch is no longer functional, it is recommended to replace it as soon as possible and avoid using your dryer until the repair is complete.

Clean the inside free of all lint (known to be fire hazard). Sling new belt around drum. Get newly grown set of hands to hold drum in place. Pinch belt to fit between tensioner, lift tensioner and place belt around motor pulley. Spin drum couple times to make certain belt isn't twisted. Reverse dismantle proccess to put back together. Replace all parts that come with kit, you'll feel better knowing you got a new dryer, almost.
