Kenmore / Sears Dishwasher Dispenser Parts

This upper dispenser trim—commonly called the top tower—replaces the visible upper cover at the refrigerator dispenser area to restore appearance and proper fit. It protects internal dispenser components and keeps the dispenser edges clean and aligned. What it does

• Covers and protects the upper portion of the dispenser tower and its internal components
• Helps maintain a consistent, finished look at the dispenser opening
• Prevents dirt and moisture from reaching internal dispenser parts
• Can reduce rubbing or misalignment of the dispenser fixture that can cause noise or wear

• One upper dispenser trim (top tower) as shown

• Remove power to the appliance before starting work to avoid electrical hazards
• Typically secures with clips or a few screws—gentle prying with a trim tool may be required
• Inspect adjacent trim and fasteners for wear and replace as needed for a proper fit

This actuator lever assembly with springs replaces a worn or broken control lever to restore proper mechanical movement in the appliance. It helps the dispenser/latch mechanism operate smoothly for reliable everyday use. What it does:

• Transfers motion from a control cam or motor to the latch or dispenser linkage
• Restores proper engagement when a broken or fatigued lever prevents operation
• Helps stop intermittent or failed cycle starts caused by damaged mechanical linkage
• Works as a direct-fit replacement that re-establishes spring tension and lever action

• Disconnect power before accessing internal components to avoid shock or injury
• Basic hand tools usually required; maintain original screw/hardware if reusing
• Inspect surrounding linkages and replace damaged clips or fasteners as needed

This replacement cap protects and seals a small appliance component to prevent debris entry and reduce wear. It restores the original fit and helps keep moving parts and seals working as intended. What it does:

• Covers and protects an exposed component or fitting to prevent dirt and moisture intrusion
• Maintains proper spacing and alignment for nearby parts
• Helps reduce rattling or contact noise from loose or worn ends
• Can prevent premature wear or minor leaks when used as intended

• Disconnect power and water before servicing the appliance
• Access the cap location by removing the adjacent panel or trim
• Press or snap the cap into place; use gentle, even pressure to avoid damage
• If the cap secures a sealed connection or seal, inspect nearby gaskets and replace if damaged

This plunger is a small push-style actuator that transfers motion between linked components, restoring proper mechanical engagement for the related mechanism. It's a direct-fit replacement designed to return a lever or latch to its resting position. What it does:

• Acts as the push/pull actuator in a latch, dispenser or control assembly to transmit motion
• Helps the related mechanism engage, release, or return smoothly when working correctly
• Common symptom: lever or latch fails to engage, stick, or does not return to home position
• Prevents intermittent operation caused by a worn or broken push rod

• One plunger

• Disconnect power before beginning any repair to avoid electrical or mechanical hazards
• Access may require removal of trim or housing panels; keep small parts organized
• Inspect mating pivot points and bushings for wear; replace if excessively worn

This cover, volute replaces the outer half of the dryer blower housing to protect the blower assembly and help direct airflow for efficient tumbling. Restores proper airflow path and helps reduce rubbing or contact with the blower wheel. What it does:

• Replaces the dryer blower housing cover that surrounds and shields the blower wheel
• Directs exhaust airflow from the blower to the exhaust duct for correct drying performance
• Helps prevent the blower wheel from rubbing on cabinet parts or allowing foreign objects to reach the blower
• Commonly used when the original cover is cracked, warped, or missing fastener locations

• One cover, volute

• Refer to your model's service manual or diagram for exact placement and screw locations
• Disconnect power and gas before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Handle sharp sheet-metal edges carefully and use appropriate hand tools; reinstall all fasteners securely
• If rust, corrosion, or additional damaged parts are present, inspect the blower wheel and housing for proper fit

This sump housing collects and channels defrost and condensation water to the refrigerator drain system, helping prevent interior pooling and ice buildup. Replaces a cracked or clogged drain housing to restore proper water flow. What it does:

• Guides meltwater from the evaporator area into the drain tube and pan
• Helps prevent water pooling or leaks inside the fresh food or freezer sections
• Reduces ice buildup around the evaporator or under the freezer floor when functioning properly
• Works with the refrigerator's drain tube and pan as part of the defrost drainage path

• One sump housing

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting work
• Remove food and shelves as needed; allow ice to fully melt before removing the old housing
• Inspect and clean the drain tube and surrounding seals when replacing the housing

This rail end cap is a small trim piece that covers and protects the exposed end of a drawer or door rail, restoring a finished appearance and preventing snags. Easy-to-replace part for worn, cracked, or missing rail ends. What it does:

• Covers the open end of a metal or plastic rail to prevent clothing or towels from catching
• Restores the original finished look to a drawer or door rail
• Helps keep dirt and debris out of the rail opening
• Prevents sharp or rough rail edges from causing wear or injury

• One rail end cap

• Typically installs by pressing onto the rail end until fully seated; may require light prying of the old cap
• Use a plastic trim tool or flat screwdriver with care to avoid scratching surrounding surfaces
• No advanced tools required; disconnect power only if working near energized controls
• If cap is brittle or breaks during removal, replace any retained clips or fasteners as needed
