Kenmore / Sears Bumper, Bushing, Grommet Parts

This pad is a small bumper-style cushioning part that protects surfaces, reduces vibration and noise, and prevents metal-on-metal contact in appliance assemblies. It helps maintain quiet, secure operation and prevents cosmetic damage where parts meet. What it does:

• Acts as a cushion between components to absorb shock and reduce rattling or vibration.
• Prevents direct contact and wear between adjacent surfaces or panels.
• Helps keep parts aligned by providing a friction surface that resists shifting.
• Reduces noise caused by vibration or loose-fitting panels.

• One replacement pad.

• Inspect the mounting area and remove any debris or adhesive residue before installing.
• Typically presses or adhesively mounts into place; align carefully to ensure full contact.
• Replace only with the exact part number to ensure fit and function.
• Disconnect power to the appliance or follow model-specific safety precautions before accessing internal panels.

This replacement top-panel bushing cushions and centers the oven's top panel to reduce noise, wear, and misalignment for a secure fit and smoother operation. It helps restore proper panel seating and reduces rattles or vibration. What it does:

• Positions and supports the top panel where it meets the cabinet
• Dampens vibration to help eliminate rattling or buzzing noises
• Prevents direct metal-on-metal contact that can cause wear or scratching
• Helps maintain correct panel alignment for a flush appearance

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any work.
• Remove the top panel fasteners and lift the panel carefully; sharp edges may be exposed.
• Press the bushing into the panel or support hole until fully seated; confirm alignment before reattaching the panel.
• If the bushing is brittle or deformed, replace it to ensure secure fit and noise control.

This hinge pin spacer helps position the refrigerator door hinge pin for proper door alignment and smooth operation. It replaces a worn or missing spacer to restore correct hinge spacing and reduce door binding. What it does:

• Holds the hinge pin at the correct height and offset for the upper or lower door hinge
• Helps prevent door sag, misalignment, and uneven sealing
• Reduces metal-on-metal contact and rubbing that can cause noise or wear
• Works at either the upper or lower hinge location as specified for your model

• One hinge pin spacer

• Disconnect power to the appliance or unplug the refrigerator before starting any repair
• Support the door while removing hinge hardware to prevent the door from falling
• Reuse existing hinge pin and hardware unless damaged; replace any worn fasteners

This rubber grommet cushions and secures wiring, tubes, or panels to prevent chafing and reduce vibration. It helps keep components aligned and quiet for reliable appliance operation. What it does:

• Cushions parts where metal meets metal to prevent wear and chafing
• Dampens vibration and reduces rattling or squeaking noises
• Holds wiring or tubing in place to maintain proper routing
• Helps protect against abrasion and occasional minor movement

• Disconnect power and leave appliance unplugged before starting any repair
• Remove the damaged grommet and clean surrounding area before installing the new piece
• Press or stretch the grommet into place; use gentle tools (plastic trim tool) to avoid damage
• Inspect adjacent wiring/tubing for damage and replace if frayed or pinched

This bushing is a molded support sleeve that helps align and stabilize a rotating shaft, reducing wear and vibration for quieter, more reliable appliance operation. Designed as a direct-replacement service part. What it does:

• Supports and centers a rotating shaft or drum to prevent metal-on-metal contact
• Reduces vibration and noise caused by a worn bearing interface
• Protects housings and shafts from wear and scoring
• Helps restore proper rotation when the original bushing is worn or damaged

• Disconnect power before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Inspect mating shaft and housing for wear; replace if damaged to prevent premature new-part failure
• Press or seat the bushing straight and fully; use proper tools to avoid distortion
