Parts for Kenmore 81120: Compressor Parts

This terminal-cover gasket seals and cushions the appliance's electrical terminal cover, helping protect wiring and connections from moisture, dust and abrasion. It restores a secure fit for the cover and helps maintain safe operation. What it does:

• Creates a sealed barrier around the terminal cover to reduce moisture and debris intrusion
• Cushions the terminal cover to prevent chafing or movement of wiring and connectors
• Helps reduce risk of arcing by keeping cover seated and terminals covered
• Useful when the existing gasket is cracked, warped, missing, or no longer forms a tight seal

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing electrical components
• Remove the terminal cover and clean mating surfaces of debris and old gasket material
• Press the new gasket into place, ensuring it seats evenly around the cover perimeter
• Reinstall the terminal cover and restore power; inspect for secure fit and any exposed wiring

Replace this part if the compressor won't start, cycles on and off rapidly, or if the unit shuts down unexpectedly during operation.
