Parts for Kenmore 363.71542 (36371542, 363 71542): Controls Parts

Size: 8 - 18 ab.

This is a replacement 8-32 trilobular hex screw used to fasten appliance panels and components. It restores secure mounting and helps eliminate loose parts or rattling caused by missing or worn fasteners. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets, or components in place using an 8-32 trilobular thread form
• Helps prevent vibration, rattling, and loose connections when fasteners are missing or stripped
• Designed to match OEM thread style for proper engagement and retention
• Used wherever a small hex-head machine screw is required for assembly

• Use the correct driver/socket to avoid rounding the hex head
• Tighten to snug fit; avoid over-torquing which can strip threads or damage parts
• If replacing a stripped hole, inspect mating threads and consider a thread repair or alternate fastening method
• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing internal components to reduce risk of shock or injury

This electronic control board is the main control module that manages timing and function signals for the appliance, restoring proper control when the original board has failed. It replaces a damaged or non-responsive control module to bring back normal operation. What it does:

• Controls user interface signals, cycle timing, and electrical outputs for other components
• Can resolve intermittent starts, failure to start, or failure to advance cycles when board is the root cause
• Routes power and command signals between sensors, switches, and motors

• One electronic control board

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any work to avoid shock or damage
• Handle the board carefully and avoid touching components; use anti-static precautions if available
• Verify the part number on your existing board matches before installing; do not force connectors

A small replacement hose clip that secures flexible appliance hoses to fittings to help prevent leaks and disconnections. Fits commonly used appliance hose connections to restore a secure seal and reliable water flow. What it does:

• Secures a water or drain hose to a barb or fitting to prevent the hose from coming loose
• Helps stop leaks and drips caused by loose or slipping hoses
• Prevents hose movement and rubbing that can lead to wear or abrasion
• Useful when a hose slips off during operation or after maintenance

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing the appliance
• Use appropriate hand tools (needle-nose pliers or hose clamp pliers) to open and seat the clip
• Position the clip over the fitting and tighten until the hose is snug and secure; avoid over-tightening
• Replace only with the correct OEM-style clip for a proper fit

Size: 8-32 t. Includes 12 screws.

This CCMR 30-amp, 120-volt fuse protects the appliance's electrical circuit by opening when current exceeds safe limits. Replace a blown fuse to restore power to the affected circuit and help prevent damage to internal components.

• Provides overcurrent protection for the circuit specified by the manufacturer
• If the fuse is open, the appliance may be dead, won't start, or certain functions won't operate
• Helps prevent wiring and component damage from shorts or overloads
• Repeated fuse failures indicate an underlying electrical issue requiring diagnosis

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Locate the fuse in its holder/block and inspect associated wiring for heat or damage
• Test the old fuse for continuity; replace only with the identical rating specified
• Never bypass or upsize a fuse; correct the root cause of the failure before returning to service

This fuse holder secures the appliance's thermal/fuse element and provides a stable connection point for the fuse, helping maintain proper circuit protection and reliable operation. What it does:

• Holds and secures the fuse or thermal cutoff in the appliance circuit
• Provides stable electrical contact to ensure reliable current flow
• Helps prevent intermittent power from a loose or damaged fuse connection
• Commonly replaced when the fuse or its mount is cracked, melted, or otherwise damaged

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing the fuse holder
• Replace only with the correct part number for your appliance; verify fit before installation
• Use basic hand tools; avoid forcing terminals to prevent damage

This electronic water level pressure switch senses air pressure from the wash tub and tells the control when to start and stop filling. Replacing a failed switch restores proper fill levels and helps cycles advance reliably. What it does:

• Monitors tub water level via an air hose connected to the switch
• Signals the control to start/stop the inlet valves at the correct level
• Enables cycle progression by confirming empty/full status
• Common symptoms: won't stop filling, stops filling too soon, incorrect water level, or water-level error codes

• 1 electronic pressure switch

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before servicing
• Access the switch in the control console or rear cabinet area (location varies by model)
• Move the pressure hose and wire connector(s) over one at a time; ensure airtight hose fit and proper routing without kinks
• Inspect the hose and air dome for cracks, kinks, or blockages; clear or replace if needed

A replacement screw used to secure panels and components in compatible GE appliances. Replacing missing or damaged screws restores secure mounting, reduces rattling, and helps keep parts aligned during normal operation. What it does:

• Fastens panels, trim, brackets, or small appliance components to maintain proper alignment and fit.
• Keeps internal parts secured to reduce vibration, rattling, or movement during use.
• Replaces stripped, rusted, or missing hardware that can cause loose or misaligned panels.
• Small, non-electrical part — does not affect electrical circuits or controls.

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before accessing internal parts.
• Use the properly sized screwdriver to avoid stripping the head; hand-start threads to prevent cross-threading.
• Tighten securely but avoid over-torquing; overtightening can strip threads or damage plastic components.
• Keep track of small parts and hardware; replace any damaged or mismatched screws with the correct OEM part.
