WP90296 Whirlpool Appliance Support Roller Clip

Appliance Support Roller Clip
This item is available for purchase as a single unit. It is suitable for use when an appliance is noisy. The Push Clip is a genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part designed for Whirlpool dryers, but it also fits Maytag, Jenn-Air, and some Kenmore models. Whirlpool manufactures products under various brands including Amana, KitchenAid, Roper, and Admiral, and also supplies items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea.

Located internally near the dryer's rear cylinder wall, the clip plays a crucial role in securing the drum support roller assembly. Over time, the clip may fail due to prolonged exposure to mechanical stress and drum impacts. Failure can also occur if moisture seeps into the clip's mounting area, leading to increased resistance and eventual corrosion.

When the clip malfunctions, several issues may arise including:
- Uneven drying and reduced tumbling efficiency.
- Vibrations or noise from the rear roller area.
- Premature wear and tear due to the roller assembly shifting out of place.

This part is essential for addressing excessive noise during appliance operation.
