Whirlpool WPW10080190 Dryer Nut

The Whirlpool WPW10080190 is a replacement nut made exclusively for Whirlpool and Maytag dryers. It's a little but important component that acts similarly to a conventional hex nut but with a left-handed thread. The interior parts of the dryer fit snugly and securely thanks to this particular threading. These nuts' precise use may differ based on the type of dryer, but they are often used to fasten components such as blower fan housings, heating elements, and drum rollers. A correctly tightened WPW10080190 nut maintains these components securely in place, preventing them from loosening or vibrating excessively during drying cycles. This means that the parts in your dryer will last longer, operate more smoothly, and produce fewer emissions.
