Kenmore / Sears Dehumidifier Parts

This thermistor assembly is a temperature-sensing component that provides accurate feedback to the appliance control system so temperature and defrost cycles are regulated properly, helping maintain consistent cooling performance. What it does:

• Senses evaporator/compartment temperature and sends a signal to the control board
• Helps the control system time defrost cycles and manage compressor run cycles
• Commonly linked to symptoms such as frost build-up on the evaporator, irregular temperatures, or defrost-related fault codes
• Passive component — will not operate correctly if connector, wiring, or control board is faulty

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or damage
• Handle the sensor tip and wiring gently; avoid bending or stressing the sensing element
• Ensure the connector is fully seated and wiring is routed the same way as the original
• For exact location and replacement steps

This turbo fan assembly moves air through the appliance to help maintain proper airflow and cooling. Replacing a worn or damaged fan restores efficient venting and helps prevent overheating or reduced performance. What it does:

• Spins to circulate air through the appliance's blower housing or heat exchanger
• Restores proper airflow when a failing fan causes weak output or longer cycles
• Reduces unusual noise caused by warped or imbalanced fan blades
• Helps prevent overheating by maintaining designed ventilation

• Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before starting any repair.
• Handle the fan carefully—blades can be sharp and alignment affects balance.
• Inspect mounting hardware and seals; replace any damaged fasteners or gaskets.

This water level pressure switch senses tub water height and tells the washer control when to stop filling for correct load levels. Replaces a failed or intermittent pressure sensor to restore proper fill control and cycle operation. What it does

• Detects water level changes via air pressure from the drain/tub to signal the control board.
• Stops filling when the correct water level is reached to prevent overfill.
• Resolves symptoms like overfilling, underfilling, or washer that won't advance cycles when caused by a faulty switch.
• Works with the washer's control system—does not include hoses or wiring harness.

• One water level pressure switch (one complete switch assembly).

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before replacing the switch.
• Verify location and routing of the pressure hose; replace any cracked or collapsed hose that can cause false readings.
• Handle electrical connectors and the pressure port carefully—avoid pulling wires or forcing tabs.
• Test operation after installation by running a fill/drain cycle and observing fill level.

This evaporator fan motor circulates cold air through the freezer/refrigerator compartment to help maintain even temperatures and proper frost control. Replaces a failed or noisy fan motor to restore normal cooling and airflow. What it does:

• Spins the evaporator fan blade to move cold air across the evaporator coil and through the cabinet
• Helps keep temperatures consistent between compartments for better food preservation
• A failing motor may cause no airflow, weak cooling, or louder-than-normal noise
• Supports proper defrost performance by ensuring circulated air reaches the coil

• One evaporator fan motor (single motor only)

• Disconnect power at the plug or breaker before beginning any work
• Handle the fan blade and motor shaft carefully to avoid bending blades or damaging the shaft
• Verify fan rotation and clearances after installation; ensure wiring connections are secure
