Parts for Kenmore 106.51339710 (10651339710, 106 51339710): Air Flow Parts

This fan scroll is the plastic housing that surrounds the evaporator fan in the freezer section. It directs air across the evaporator coils and into the ducts, helping your refrigerator move cold air evenly and maintain stable temperatures.

• Channels airflow from the evaporator fan through the coils and into the air ducts
• Helps balance cooling between freezer and fresh food compartments
• Positions the fan motor and blade for proper clearance and reduced vibration
• If cracked, warped, or missing, you may notice weak airflow, temperature swings, rattling noises, or frost buildup on the evaporator cover

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Remove freezer shelves/bins and the rear panel to access the fan area
• Transfer the existing fan motor, blade, and hardware to the new scroll
• The fan spins freely and wiring is clear before reassembly and restoring power

This retainer is a small mounting clip that secures a component to the appliance housing or shaft, keeping parts aligned and preventing excess movement for reliable operation. It's a simple replacement that restores proper fit and function. What it does:

• Secures a component in place to prevent slipping, rotation, or misalignment
• Maintains correct spacing between moving parts to reduce wear and noise
• Helps stop rattling or loose parts caused by a broken or missing clip
• Works as a straightforward mechanical fastener—no wiring or sensors involved

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before starting any repair.
• Access may require removing a panel or adjacent parts—keep fasteners organized.
• Inspect surrounding parts (shafts, bearings, brackets) for wear before reassembly.
• Use basic hand tools; replace if the clip is cracked, bent, or worn.

Size: 8 x 1/2 ab.

The Evaporator Fan Motor is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It serves a pivotal role in circulating air over the refrigerator's evaporator coils, helping to maintain the cool temperatures throughout the unit. This circulation is crucial for the efficiency and effectiveness of your refrigerator's cooling process.

Causes of a bad Evaporator Fan Motor can include wear and tear over time, motor burnout due to electrical issues, or obstruction that prevents the fan from spinning.
 
Symptoms of a bad Evaporator Fan Motor include:

• Unusual noises coming from the refrigerator, such as humming or buzzing, indicating the motor is struggling.
• The refrigerator or freezer section is not cooling adequately.
• A noticeable difference in temperature between the top and bottom of the refrigerator or freezer.
• Ice build-up on the evaporator coils due to inadequate air circulation.

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

The Evaporator Fan Motor Blade is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is a crucial component of the refrigerator's cooling system, attached to the evaporator fan motor to circulate air over the evaporator coils. This circulation helps distribute cold air throughout the refrigerator and freezer compartments, ensuring consistent temperatures and efficient operation.

Symptoms of a bad Evaporator Fan Motor Blade include:

• Unusual noise coming from the fan area, indicating the blade may be hitting another component or is unbalanced,
• Insufficient cooling in the refrigerator or freezer compartments,
• The refrigerator running longer than usual to maintain the desired temperature.

Causes of evaporator fan motor blade failure typically include physical damage from interference with other components, wear from continuous use, or buildup of ice or debris that unbalances the blade.

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

This evaporator cover gasket seals the evaporator cover to help maintain proper airflow and reduce moisture intrusion in the freezer compartment. It restores the evaporator cover seal to help prevent frost buildup and maintain consistent cooling. What it does:

• Seals the evaporator cover to limit air/moisture exchange that can cause frost and ice buildup.
• Helps maintain designed airflow over the evaporator for more consistent temperature control.
• Reduces the chance of excessive frost on evaporator fins and associated freezer performance issues.
• Commonly used when you see frost accumulation, frequent defrosting, or reduced freezer efficiency.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any work to avoid electrical shock.
• Allow the evaporator area to fully defrost and dry before installing the new gasket.
• Remove the evaporator cover carefully; take note of fastener locations and any clips for correct reassembly.
• Inspect surrounding components and replace any damaged parts to ensure a proper seal.

The Evaporator Fan Motor Grommet is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is designed to provide a secure and vibration-free mounting for the evaporator fan motor, ensuring proper operation and reducing noise.

Causes of a faulty evaporator fan motor grommet can include wear and tear over time, damage from excessive vibrations or impact, or deterioration due to temperature changes.

Symptoms of a bad evaporator fan motor grommet may include:

• Excessive noise or rattling coming from the refrigerator
• Poor cooling performance or uneven temperatures inside the refrigerator
• Fan motor instability or misalignment

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

This 8-18 x 5/8-inch screw secures appliance panels, brackets, and covers. Replacing a missing or stripped fastener restores a tight fit and helps prevent vibration or loosening where this exact size is specified.

• Fastens sheet-metal or plastic components where a #8-18 x 5/8 screw is called for
• Helps maintain alignment and reduce rattling or vibration
• Replaces stripped, corroded, or missing screws of the same size
• Common symptoms: loose panels, gaps/poor fit, rattling noises, or visible missing hardware

• Disconnect power and shut off gas/water (as applicable) before service
• Match thread and length to the original; replace screws one at a time to keep parts aligned
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly without overtightening
• If the receiving threads are damaged, additional repair (clip, insert, or new nut) may be needed

The Wire Harness is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is a critical component that contains all the wiring between electrical controls, motors, sensors, and other components inside the refrigerator. The wire harness allows communication and power transfer throughout the appliance.

Symptoms of a bad wire harness include:

• Lights or displays not working properly   
• The refrigerator not starting cool cycles or completing them
• Strange noises coming from motors or other areas  
• Error codes appearing on the control panel

Causes of a bad wire harness can include severed or damaged wires from normal wear and tear over time, improper installation, or exposure to moisture.

This OEM Whirlpool wire harness replacement ensures electrical signals are conducted smoothly throughout the refrigerator. It prevents disruption and allows for proper operation. This OEM replacement is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
 

This fan scroll gasket seals the evaporator/fan housing to prevent air bypass and maintain proper airflow through the evaporator. Replacing a worn gasket helps restore efficient cooling and reduces frost buildup. What it does:

• Seals the fan scroll/evaporator housing to direct cold air through the evaporator fins
• Prevents air leaks that can cause reduced cooling or temperature fluctuations
• Helps reduce frost or ice buildup by ensuring consistent airflow over the coil
• Can reduce abnormal fan noise caused by air turbulence around a damaged seal

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any work.
• Remove the evaporator/fan housing cover and carefully pull out the old gasket.
• Clean mating surfaces of debris and residue for a flush seal before installing the new gasket.
• Seat the gasket fully around the scroll; reassemble panels and restore power to test operation.
