Whirlpool & Kenmore Dryer Door Handle Parts — Models & Compatibility

Your dryer door handle cracked right where you grab it every day — that's the most common failure point on Whirlpool and Kenmore dryers. This hub covers the 8559751 door handle replacement (also sold as WP8559751), which fits dozens of 110-series Kenmore models and select Whirlpool dryers. If your door won't latch or the handle broke clean off, you're in the right place.

Is This the Right Part for Your Model?

Check your dryer's model number — it's usually on a sticker inside the door frame or on the back panel. For Kenmore models, look for numbers starting with 110.828 (like 110.82822100 or 110.82824101). Whirlpool models include certain RAWZ series dryers. Cross-reference your full model number against the compatibility list below before ordering. The handle design changed in some newer series, so exact model matching matters here.

About This Replacement Part

The 8559751 is a black plastic door handle assembly that typically fails from repeated use over years of opening and closing. The plastic cracks near the mounting points or where your hand grips it daily. One installer noted they "taped each screw to the corresponding hole since all of them have different dimensions and lengths" — solid advice, because there are multiple screw types in the door assembly. You'll need a Phillips head screwdriver (possibly a Torx driver depending on your model year), and most people complete this swap in 15-30 minutes. Don't remove the hex-head screws holding the window glass unless you're also replacing that component.

Installation Overview

Remove the Phillips head screws from the back of the door panel — there's no need to touch the Torx screws unless you're doing deeper repairs. Keep the different-sized screws organized (tape them to a diagram or the door itself as you remove them). Pop off the old handle, snap in the new 8559751, and reinstall screws in reverse order. The door hinge may need to come off the dryer cabinet for easier access, but some techs do it with the door still attached.

What Causes Door Handle Failure?

Plastic fatigue. You pull that handle dozens of times per week, and over 5-10 years the mounting points develop stress cracks. The handle either breaks off completely or cracks enough that the door won't stay latched. If your door won't close properly or you see visible cracks radiating from the screw holes, replacement is the only fix — there's no effective way to repair cracked plastic on a high-stress part like this.

Price & Availability

The 8559751 handle typically runs around $40.99 and ships quickly since it's a common failure part. This replaces multiple part numbers including WP8559751, 8519332, AP6013245, and 1063630 — they're all functionally identical. Most suppliers stock this continuously because it's a frequent wear item across hundreds of Kenmore 110-series and Whirlpool dryers.
