Kenmore / Sears Dryer Insulation, Sound Dampening Parts

Ceramic dryer heating element housing insulator.

This replacement cushion is a small rubber bumper that protects components and reduces vibration and noise where panels, doors, or assemblies meet. It helps keep parts aligned and prevents metal-on-metal contact. What it does:

• Absorbs shock and reduces vibration to minimize rattling or movement
• Protects surfaces from wear and prevents scraping or chafing
• Helps maintain proper spacing or alignment of panels or assemblies
• Works wherever a soft bumper or spacer is required

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing.
• Remove any covers or panels to access the mounting area.
• Press or seat the cushion into the locator/receptacle; replace retainers if present.

This damper is the refrigerator air-control flap that regulates airflow between compartments to help maintain consistent temperatures and proper cooling. It replaces a worn or stuck damper to restore normal airflow and temperature balance. What it does:

• Opens and closes to direct cold air where needed between freezer and fresh-food sections
• Helps maintain even temperatures and prevents one compartment from getting too warm
• Common symptom: uneven cooling or warm fresh-food section despite running compressor
• Common symptom: damper stuck or not moving, causing poor temperature control

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Remove interior panels to access the damper; use basic hand tools
• Handle the damper and any wiring harness carefully to avoid damage
• After installation, verify damper operation and allow time for temperatures to stabilize

This insulator is a small foam/trim piece that cushions and thermally isolates appliance panels to help maintain proper airflow and reduce vibration. It preserves fit between cabinet components for quiet, efficient operation. What it does:

• Cushions panels and components to reduce rattling or vibration noise
• Creates a thermal barrier that helps limit heat transfer between parts
• Keeps panels aligned and spaced to prevent rubbing or abrasion
• Worn or missing insulators can cause noise, vibration, or poor panel fit

• One insulator as shown

• Disconnect power before accessing panels or internal components
• Replace only the worn or damaged insulator; trim or adhesive may be needed to position some styles
• Remove surrounding trim or panels as required to reach the mounting location

This blower-housing pad is a replacement foam/rubber seal that cushions the blower assembly and helps maintain proper airflow and fit. It restores the original fit between the blower housing and cabinet to reduce vibration and air gaps. What it does:

• Cushions and supports the blower housing to reduce noise and vibration during operation
• Helps seal the blower housing to prevent air leaks that can reduce performance
• Maintains proper alignment and spacing of the blower assembly inside the cabinet
• Common symptom: excessive vibration, rattling, or airflow leakage near the blower area

• Designed for direct replacement; part number matches your unit before ordering
• Turn off power to the appliance at the breaker before beginning repair
• Handle foam/rubber parts gently to avoid tearing; ensure pad seats fully around the housing
• If other blower components are worn or damaged, inspect and replace as needed
