Whirlpool WGD94HEXW1 27" gas dryer Parts

Yes. For your Whirlpool WGD94HEXW1 27-inch gas dryer, searching by model number is the fastest way to match parts to the exact drum, burner, and control configuration used in your dryer. We recommend confirming the full model and serial number, then using the parts list and diagrams in the WGD94HEXW1 owner's manual.

• Find the model/serial tag on the dryer (commonly inside the door opening or on the cabinet frame).
• Enter the full model number exactly as shown: WGD94HEXW1.
• Use the model’s parts diagrams to identify the correct section (drum, blower, burner, controls).
• Match by part name and part ID to avoid look-alike parts.
• If you are ordering for a repair, use Factory Specified Parts (FSP) style replacements for best fit and performance.

These are frequent wear or troubleshooting-related items for this model:

• Dryer repair kit 4392067 (common drum support wear items bundled together)
• Dryer drum support roller WPW10314173 (squealing, thumping, drum drag)
• Dryer idler pulley W10837240 (belt noise, belt tracking issues)
• Igniter 279311 (no heat, burner not lighting)
• Dryer thermal cut-off kit WP8573713 (no heat, overheating protection opened)

Model-based searching prevents mismatched gas-dryer parts, especially in the heating system and airflow path. It also helps you follow the correct maintenance guidance, such as keeping the exhaust vent and dryer interior free of lint buildup, which supports safe operation and proper drying performance.

Your Whirlpool WGD94HEXW1 dryer part number is printed on the part itself (often on a sticker, stamp, or molded marking). For the fastest match, we use your dryer’s model number from the rating plate, then look up the exact part number in the parts diagram and list in the WGD94HEXW1 owner's manual.

• On the part body: sticker or stamped number on items like the drive motor, blower wheel, or control board
• Behind the lint screen housing: some duct and housing parts have labels nearby
• Inside the cabinet: rollers, idler pulley, and drum-related parts may have markings on the component
• Gas burner area (gas models): labels can be on the burner components or nearby brackets
• Wiring harness tags: some harnesses have printed IDs, but we still match by model for accuracy

On gas dryers like the WGD94HEXW1, the rating plate is typically in the door opening (door well). That label confirms the model and key configuration details used to select the correct replacement part.

• Take a clear photo of the label (good light, no glare)
• Compare the part’s shape and mounting points to the diagram
• If you are replacing common wear items, consider a kit that covers multiple related parts, such as the dryer repair kit 4392067

Using the correct part number prevents fit issues, repeat repairs, and performance problems (for example, a wrong roller or idler pulley can cause noise and belt wear).

Common Whirlpool dryer problems (including the Whirlpool WGD94HEXW1 27-inch gas dryer) are no-start, no-heat, long dry times, and unusual noises or no tumbling. Many issues trace back to power supply, airflow restrictions, or normal wear parts like rollers, pulleys, and sensors; see the WGD94HEXW1 owner's manual for model-specific checks.

• Dryer will not run: door not fully closed, START/PAUSE not held 2 to 5 seconds, tripped breaker or blown fuse
• Dryer runs but will not heat (gas): airflow restriction, ignition system issue (igniter, radiant sensor, gas valve coils)
• Drying times too long: clogged lint screen, crushed or kinked vent, too many vent turns, room temperature below about 45°F
• Stops early or clothes still damp on Auto cycles: load not contacting moisture sensors, wrong cycle or temperature selection
• Squealing, thumping, or rumbling: worn drum support rollers, idler pulley, or belt-related wear

1. Confirm the door closes fully and the latch engages.
2. Press and hold START/PAUSE for 2 to 5 seconds.
3. Check both household fuses or breakers feeding the dryer circuit.
4. Clean the lint screen and inspect the vent path for restrictions.
5. For Auto cycles, avoid very small loads and make sure items can contact the sensor strips.

A dryer that runs with restricted airflow can overheat, shut down on safety devices, and take much longer to dry. Catching venting problems and worn drum support parts early helps protect the motor, drum, and heating system.
