Parts for Craftsman 917254140: Electrical Parts

This small rubber gasket seals and cushions an M4 fastener to help prevent leaks and reduce vibration at attachment points. It's a compact replacement part used where a watertight or vibration-damping seal is needed. What it does:

• Creates a seal around an M4 screw or bolt to help prevent water intrusion
• Cushions fasteners to reduce vibration, noise, and metal-on-metal wear
• Restores a tightened fastener's proper sealing surface when the original gasket is worn
• Helps maintain appliance integrity around panels, brackets, or connections

• Power off and unplug the appliance before starting any repair.
• Confirm the gasket's size matches the fastener and seating area before installation.
• Install flat against the mating surface; tighten fastener snugly but avoid over-torquing which can deform the gasket.
• Handle small parts carefully and retain any removed hardware for reassembly.

This solenoid valve controls fluid flow in the appliance, replacing a worn or failed valve to restore proper operation and stop intermittent or complete flow loss. Fits the OEM form and electrical/connective interfaces for a direct swap. What it does

• Opens and closes to allow or stop fluid flow when energized by the appliance control
• Commonly addresses symptoms like no fill, inconsistent flow, or appliance error codes related to valve operation
• Operates as the electromechanical switching element that responds to control board signals
• Works with existing valve mounting and plumbing/electrical connections when matching OEM part

• Disconnect power and shut off the water/gas supply before starting service
• Replace only with the matching OEM part number and secure all fittings and electrical connectors
• Check all connections for leaks and proper seating, then restore power and test operation
