Question and Answers
I changed out the power supply cord on my whirlpool dryer, but dropped a screw into recepticle @ back of dryer? Also, right ring terminal won't stay tight.
Repairs always look easier in the diagrams and instructions than they are. The expert will get you back on track. While you wait you can also check the owner's manual for information. I depend on mine. I attached the link to your dryer model below. If down the road you do decide to have a technician do the repairs, an option is to visit Sears Home Services and use the scheduler. Hope this helps!
According to your details, it sounds like you stripped out the hole on the terminal block. The screw that holds the wire on the terminal block should be tight. This connection is important. I recommend that you replace the terminal block and the screw. You can see these parts on the parts list diagram for your dryer on the Sears PartsDirect website. You will likely need to order the terminal block and the screws. This should fix your problem. If I misunderstood your details or your need more help, submit additional details and we will assist you further.
The screw that fell down into the dryer probably went all of the way to the bottom of the cabinet. If it did then it will not likely cause any problems there. You can unplug the dryer and pull off the top panel to see if you can find the screw. If you need more help, let us know.
