Use this guide to replace the steam nozzle on your Whirlpool Dryer.
The steam nozzle sprays a fine mist of water into the heated operating dryer to help prevent wrinkles.
If the steam nozzle malfunctions, you may notice decreased performance from your dryer.
This guide shows this repair performed with the drum removed for greater clarity. The procedures are the same.
This guide will work for most Whirlpool dryers. This guide is written with a model WED87HED dryer. If you have a different model, you may encounter some minor disassembly differences, but the overall repair process will be the same.
