Parts for Kenmore 796.71623310 (79671623310, 796 71623310): Control Panel Parts

This upper plate clip secures the control panel assembly to the top of the dryer cabinet, keeping it properly aligned and firmly in place. It is a small but important mounting component that prevents the control panel from shifting or becoming loose during operation. Replace if the clip is broken or missing and the control panel feels wobbly, does not sit flush, or has become detached.

This outer cabinet frame provides the structural front support and finished edge for the appliance, restoring proper fit and appearance. Replaces damaged, cracked, or warped frames to help align panels and cover internal components. What it does:

• Restores the appliance's front structural support and trim
• Covers and protects internal components from debris and tampering
• Helps correct panel alignment and reduces gaps or rattling
• Improves cosmetic appearance by replacing cracked or dented framing

• One outer cabinet frame/body

• Disconnect power and water before starting any repair
• Handle carefully — edges may be sharp and mounting tabs can be fragile
• Basic hand tools (screwdriver, nut driver) are typically required

Replace your dryer's door hinge if cracked, broken, or worn. This structural component secures the door to the cabinet for proper opening and closing.
