Parts for Kenmore 201.33 / 1988 (20133 / 1988, 201 33 / 1988): Fan Blower / Plenum Assembly Parts

This locknut is a small threaded retaining nut used to secure rotating and stationary appliance components, helping keep assemblies tight and stable during operation. It prevents parts from loosening and reduces vibration-related issues. What it does:

• Secures shafts, pulleys, or fittings to prevent axial movement
• Keeps assemblies fastened under normal vibration and load
• Helps stop wobble, grinding, or part separation caused by a loose connection
• Works with the matching threaded stud, shaft, or fitting for a proper hold

• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety procedures before servicing
• Use the matching thread size and engage threads fully; hand-start before tightening
• Tighten securely without overtightening; use the correct driver or socket for the nut
• Inspect mating threads and replace if damaged

This screw is a factory-style mounting fastener used to secure appliance panels and components. It replaces worn, stripped, or missing screws to restore proper fit and reduce rattling. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets, or trim to the appliance frame
• Keeps components aligned to prevent vibration and noise
• Replaces damaged or corroded fasteners that can cause loose parts
• Helps maintain safe, stable operation of moving or load-bearing assemblies

• Turn off power and unplug the appliance before servicing
• Use the correct driver bit and match thread engagement to avoid stripping
• Tighten snugly but avoid over-torquing which can crack plastic or strip threads
• Wear eye protection and keep small parts away from children and pets

Due to manufacturer changes to the replacement motor you must also purchase a larger cover part number WP4005F513-80

This band motor is the motor assembly that powers the appliance's moving band or drive link, restoring the mechanism that enables normal rotating or indexing motion. Use it to replace a worn or failed motor for smoother operation. What it does:

• Drives the appliance's band/drive link so the linked components can rotate or index as designed
• Restores motion when the original motor is noisy, weak, or no longer turns
• Helps stop skipping or intermittent movement caused by a failed motor
• Works as the direct replacement motor when the OEM part is specified

• One band motor assembly

• Disconnect power before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Installation may require removing panels and fastening the motor to the band/drive; keep hardware for reassembly
• Verify alignment and secure belt or band tension per the appliance's service instructions

This motor isolator is a vibration-damping grommet that cushions the motor mount to reduce noise and prevent metal-to-metal contact. Replacing worn isolators helps keep the motor seated correctly and the appliance running quieter and smoother.

• Cushions the motor to minimize vibration transfer to the chassis
• Helps reduce rattling or buzzing noises during fan/blower operation
• Supports proper motor alignment and mounting stability
• A common maintenance item when rubber mounts become cracked, hardened, or missing

• Disconnect power and allow hot components to cool before service
• Access the motor mounting points; replace isolators in matched locations
• Inspect adjacent mounts and hardware; replace additional isolators as needed
• Do not overtighten fasteners—compress the grommet evenly without deforming it

This blower wheel mounts on the drive motor and pushes air through the dryer drum and out the exhaust. Replacing a worn wheel restores proper airflow for consistent drying and helps prevent overheating and nuisance shutdowns. What it does:

• Moves air across the heater, through the drum, and out the vent to remove moisture
• Helps maintain proper airflow and temperature inside the dryer
• Common failure symptoms: reduced or no airflow at the exterior vent, longer dry times, unusual scraping/thumping or vibration from the blower area, or overheating/shutoff
• Cracked fins or a stripped hub can cause the wheel to slip on the motor shaft

• 1 blower wheel

• Disconnect power and turn off gas supply before servicing
• Access the blower housing per your model's service instructions; remove the retaining hardware and replace the wheel in the same orientation
• Clean lint from the blower housing and vent path; inspect the motor shaft and blower seal for wear
• Reassemble and verify the wheel spins freely without rubbing; check airflow at the exterior vent

This factory screw secures appliance components to their mounting points. Replace missing, worn, or stripped hardware to restore a tight fit, proper alignment, and quieter operation across the affected assembly.

• Fastens panels, brackets, covers, or internal parts to the chassis or frame
• Helps maintain alignment and support, reducing rattle, vibration, or looseness
• Replaces missing or damaged screws that have backed out, broken, or stripped
• Restores secure mounting after service when original hardware is lost

• Disconnect power; shut off water or gas supplies before servicing
• Use the correct driver; start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Match length and thread to the original location; do not substitute with longer hardware
• Tighten snugly; do not overtighten into plastic or thin metal
