Parts for Kenmore 106.9555312 (1069555312, 106 9555312): Freezer Door Parts

The Screw is an OEM fastening component specifically designed for securing interior panels and assemblies of Whirlpool brand appliances. 

Causes of a problematic screw include stripping, corrosion, or shearing from repeated installations and removals during service procedures.

Symptoms of faulty screws include:

• Loosened or detached interior panels rattling behind appliance exteriors  
• Reduced structural integrity allowing unnecessary vibrations and noise

Compatible models include brands produced by KitchenAid, Maytag, and some Kenmore.

The Freezer Door Gasket is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It creates a tight insulating seal around the perimeter of the freezer door opening. 
The gasket helps maintain consistent sub-freezing temperatures inside by preventing cold air loss. 

Causes relate to natural compression fatigue over time, cracks developing with use, or accidental slicing/tears from sharp edges within the freezer.

Symptoms of a compromised gasket include:

• Frost or ice buildup near the door threshold from leaks
• Difficulty keeping foods frozen solid in compartments near the door
• The cold air felt escaping around door edges when closed

It is also compatible for use in Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and some Kenmore models.

The Door Shelf Retaining Bar is an OEM component for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is a horizontal metal rod located within the refrigerator door that secures glass shelf panels in place during opening and closing. Maintaining structural integrity prevents accidental shelf removal or breakage.

Symptoms of a damaged retaining bar may include:

• Shelves that suddenly fall or slide out of position while accessing contents   
• Gaps or spaces where shelves are unable to fully lock into place along guides
• Noisy rattling or clanking sounds emanating from loose shelving inside the door  

Causes generally relate to standard wear over extended use. Repeated door movements may gradually weaken connecting joints, sockets, and bends within the thin metal bar material over time.

Compatible brands are KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, and some Kenmore refrigerator models too. 

The Door Closer Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This kit contains essential components for smooth refrigerator door closing: door cams and screws ensure gentle closure, proper seal, and prevent cool air leakage.

Parts in a door closer kit can wear out over time from frequent use, causing issues like improper closing, the need for extra force to shut, or failed sealing, affecting the refrigerator's cooling.

Symptoms of a bad Door Closer Kit include:

• The refrigerator door feels loose or wobbles when opened or closed
• The door does not close fully on its own or requires extra force to close
• You notice an increase in the refrigerator’s energy consumption due to cool air leaking
• Condensation or frost buildup near the door seal area due to improper sealing

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.
