Kenmore / Sears Bracket & Flange

This mounting bracket provides a secure support point for the appliance assembly where it attaches to the cabinet or adjacent components, helping maintain proper alignment and stable operation. What it does

• Secures panels or components to the appliance frame to prevent movement or sagging
• Keeps aligned parts properly positioned to reduce noise and wear
• Helps restore fit and finish after repair or component replacement
• Common symptom: loose, misaligned, or rattling panels near the mounting location

• Installation requires basic hand tools; disconnect power before servicing appliances with electrical components
• Retain original fasteners when possible; replace any stripped or damaged screws
• Inspect mating surfaces for damage or corrosion and clean before installing the bracket

This idler bracket supports the dryer's idler pulley and helps maintain proper belt tension so the drum turns smoothly. Replacing a worn bracket restores stable pulley alignment and reduces belt wear and noise. What it does:

• Holds the idler pulley in correct position to maintain belt tension and routing
• Prevents the idler from shifting or collapsing under load, which can cause belt slipping
• Helps eliminate squealing, rubbing, or uneven drum movement caused by a failed bracket
• Works with the idler pulley and belt to keep the dryer drum rotating efficiently

• Disconnect power before beginning any repair to avoid electrical shock.
• Access may require removing the dryer front or lower panel; support the drum/belt when removing tension.
• Inspect the idler pulley and belt for wear and replace if needed—bracket replacement alone may not fix pulley or belt issues.
• Use care around sheet metal edges and fasteners; follow OEM diagram for correct bracket orientation.

This front-panel bracket secures and positions the appliance's front panel to keep it aligned and stable, helping prevent gaps, vibration, or rubbing during operation. It restores a snug, secure fit after damage or wear. What it does

• Secures the front panel to the appliance frame to maintain proper alignment.
• Supports the panel to reduce vibration, rattling, and noise.
• Helps prevent gaps that can allow debris buildup or interfere with door/panel operation.
• Restores correct panel positioning after impact, bent mounting points, or missing hardware.

• Disconnect power (and gas supply if applicable) before starting any repair.
• Handle sharp sheet-metal edges carefully and wear gloves and eye protection.
• Basic hand tools (screwdriver, socket) are usually required; follow the service manual for fastener locations.
• Replace damaged mounting hardware and inspect adjacent clips/brackets for wear.

This holder/locker secures the appliance door latch assembly to keep the door aligned and closed during cycles. It restores proper latch engagement so the door stays shut and the unit can run safely. What it does:

• Supports and positions the door latch for reliable engagement
• Helps prevent the door from sagging or coming ajar during operation
• Commonly used when the door will not stay closed or latch properly
• Works with the latch assembly to maintain a tight door seal during cycles

• High-level replacement part; inspect surrounding latch and striker for damage before installing
• Power off and disconnect the appliance from the power source before starting repairs
• Use basic hand tools; retain all fasteners and observe their original placement

This is a replacement mounting bracket that secures internal appliance components to the cabinet frame, restoring proper alignment and support for moving parts. It helps reduce vibration and prevents loose or sagging assemblies. What it does:

• Provides a stable mounting point for internal components to maintain correct positioning
• Helps stop rattling, knocking, or vibration caused by loose fittings
• Restores support for panels, assemblies, or mechanical linkages that rely on the bracket
• Useful when original bracket is bent, cracked, or otherwise damaged

• Follow manufacturer service manual for correct placement and fastener torque
• Use proper tools and retain all screws/fasteners; replace damaged fasteners as needed
• Disconnect power before accessing internal components to avoid shock or injury

This motor mounting bracket secures the appliance motor to the cabinet, keeping the motor aligned and reducing vibration for reliable operation. It's a direct-fit replacement that restores proper motor support and helps quiet noisy operation. What it does:

• Secures and positions the motor to maintain correct alignment with the drive components
• Dampens vibration and helps prevent motor movement that can cause noise or wear
• Restores proper clearance between the motor and surrounding parts to prevent rubbing
• Helps ensure smooth power transfer from motor to driven components

• Disconnect power to the appliance before service to avoid shock or injury
• Remove panels and other components as needed for access; keep fasteners for reassembly
• Inspect mounting hardware and replace damaged screws or clips; tighten to OEM spec
