WP33002032 Whirlpool Dryer Drum Baffle, Tall

The Dryer Drum Baffle, Tall, is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part designed for use in Whirlpool electric dryers. This part is also compatible with several other brands, including Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Roper, and some Kenmore models, as well as products made for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea.

Positioned inside the dryer drum, the baffle is a rectangular piece that helps manage airflow and enhance drying efficiency. By separating the clothes during the cycle, it ensures heat is distributed more evenly, which aids in consistent moisture removal across the entire load. Made from durable plastic, the baffle is designed to endure the tumbling action of the dryer while being gentle enough to avoid snagging fabrics.

If the drum baffle is malfunctioning, you might notice several issues: clothes may take longer to dry, some sections of laundry might remain damp while others are dry, lint or hair may accumulate around a cracked or broken baffle, or there could be unusual noise or vibrations if the baffle is damaged and contacts the drum wall.

For those needing a shorter version of this part, the appropriate model number to order is WP33001755. This taller baffle is essential for those who require enhanced performance from their dryer's airflow system.
