Official Kirkland dryer parts

Most common Kirkland dryer parts that need replacing

1. Door switch. The dryer door switch recognizes whether the door is open or closed. The dryer won't start unless the door switch senses that the dryer door is closed. The door switch also turns on and off the drum light on models with a light.
2. Drive belt. The drive belt wraps around the dryer drum and connects to the drive motor pulley and the idler pulley. The idler pulley maintains the proper tension on the belt. The drive motor rotates the drive pulley, which in turn rotates the dryer drum.
3. Electronic control board. The electronic control board is the circuit board that governs the timing and execution of functions in the dryer. It sends voltage to the drive motor and other components during the cycle. It senses the temperature in the drum and cycles the heating element on and off to maintain the proper temperature.
4. High-limit safety thermostat. The high-limit safety thermostat shuts off the heat when the dryer overheats either because the operating thermostat fails or the heating element has a short circuit. The high-limit safety thermostat resets when the dryer cools.

Tips for determining the best vent path for your Kirkland dryer

• Select the exhaust vent duct route that provides the straightest and most direct path outdoors.
• Plan the vent duct installation to use the fewest number of elbows and turns.
• When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room as possible when making the bend.
• Bend vent sections gradually to avoid kinking.
