Parts for Kenmore 721.85032111 (72185032111, 721 85032111): Controller Parts

This is a truss-head tapping screw used to secure trim, panels, and small assemblies on compatible LG appliances. It provides a low-profile, wide-bearing head that helps hold parts flush and resist pull-through. What it does:

• Fastens plastic and sheet-metal components where a self-tapping thread is needed
• Truss head spreads load to prevent damage to soft or thin materials
• Helps secure control panels, brackets, or trim pieces that require a low-profile head
• Common replacement when original mounting screws are missing, stripped, or corroded

• One truss-head tapping screw

• Use the correct screwdriver bit and moderate torque to avoid stripping the screw or workpiece
• Start threading straight and let the screw form threads without forcing at an angle
• Disconnect power and follow appliance-specific service safety procedures before working internally
• Replace any damaged mating threads or clips for a secure fit

This truss head tapping screw secures panels, brackets, and covers in your appliance. Replacing a missing or damaged fastener restores a snug fit, reduces vibration, and helps keep components properly aligned for reliable performance.

• Provides low-profile holding power; wide truss head helps secure thin panels and trim
• Replaces lost, stripped, or corroded screws at the original mounting points
• Helps eliminate rattling, vibration, or loose handles/covers
• Addresses situations where a screw will not tighten or backs out during use

• Disconnect power; shut off water/gas if applicable before servicing
• Align parts and hand-start threads to avoid cross-threading
• Tighten until snug; do not overtighten to prevent stripping
• If the receiving hole is damaged, for repair before installing the new screw

This is a motor start/run capacitor that helps the appliance's motor start and run smoothly by supplying a brief boost of electrical energy. Replacing a failing capacitor restores reliable motor startup and operation. What it does:

• Provides the brief electrical surge needed to start and keep the motor running
• Commonly linked to motors that hum, fail to start, or run intermittently
• Helps prevent overheating from repeated start attempts when functioning properly
• Works with the appliance's start circuitry to ensure consistent performance

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing electrical components
• Discharge the capacitor and use insulated tools
• Observe polarity/terminal layout and secure connections to factory specifications
• Dispose of the old capacitor according to local electronic-waste regulations
