Dryers are essential for everyday laundry, but over time, parts like heating elements, drive belts, and thermal fuses can wear out. Using genuine dryer parts ensures your appliance stays efficient, safe, and reliable. Popular brands like Whirlpool, Kenmore, LG, and Maytag are known for their durability, but even the best dryers need occasional repairs. In this guide, we’ll cover the most common dryer parts, how to find the right replacement for your model, and why choosing OEM parts is essential for maintaining performance.
When your dryer breaks down, it’s tempting to use any available replacement part. However, using genuine dryer parts is crucial for ensuring that your dryer works safely and efficiently. Here’s why you should choose OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts:
• Perfect Compatibility – Genuine parts are designed specifically for your dryer model, ensuring they fit perfectly and restore full functionality.
• Durability and Reliability – OEM dryer parts last longer and reduce the need for frequent repairs.
• Safety – Genuine parts meet manufacturer safety standards, helping prevent overheating or fire hazards.
• Warranty Protection – OEM parts typically include manufacturer warranties for added peace of mind.
When shopping for dryer parts, it’s important to know your brand. Whirlpool, Kenmore, LG, and Maytag are among the most trusted and widely used dryer brands, each known for dependable performance and long life.

Several common dryer parts may require replacement during the appliance’s lifespan. Here are the most frequently replaced dryer components:
Heating Element
The heating element generates the heat needed to dry clothes. If your dryer runs but doesn’t heat, the heating element may be faulty—especially common in Whirlpool and Maytag models.
Thermal Fuse
The thermal fuse prevents overheating. If your dryer stops heating or shuts off unexpectedly, the thermal fuse may have blown. This issue is common in Kenmore and LG dryers.
Drive Belt
The drive belt rotates the drum. If your dryer makes noise but the drum doesn’t spin, the belt likely needs replacing, especially in Whirlpool and Maytag dryers.
Drum Rollers and Idler Pulley
Noisy dryers often have worn drum rollers or a faulty idler pulley. These components support the drum and maintain belt tension, commonly replaced in LG and Kenmore dryers.
Control Board and Thermostat
The control board manages dryer cycles, while the thermostat regulates temperature. Both can fail over time and are replaceable on major brands like Whirlpool and Maytag.
Finding the right replacement part is simple when you follow these steps:
• Locate Your Model Number – Usually found inside the door frame or along the door panel edge.
• Use the Model Lookup Tool – Enter your dryer’s model number to see compatible parts.
• Browse Parts by Category – Explore heating elements, belts, rollers, and more.

Replacing a Drive Belt
