Kenmore Elite Dispenser Parts

The Ice Dispenser Door Motor is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. This motor is responsible for the operation of the ice dispenser door, controlling its opening and closing mechanism to allow ice to be dispensed without letting warm air into the freezer. 

Symptoms of a bad Ice Dispenser Door Motor include:

• The dispenser door not opening or closing properly,
• Ice not being dispensed when activated,
• Unusual noises coming from the dispenser mechanism.

Causes of ice dispenser door motor failure can include electrical issues such as shorts or wiring problems, mechanical wear over time, or blockages that strain the motor.

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore.

The Detergent Box Assembly is an OEM replacement part for LG washing machines. This assembly is responsible for holding and dispensing detergent and other laundry additives during the wash cycle. It ensures that the correct amounts of detergent, bleach, and fabric softener are released at the appropriate times, contributing to effective cleaning and care of your clothes.

Over time, the detergent box assembly can become worn out or damaged due to continuous exposure to water and detergent. Buildup of detergent residues can clog the compartments, and the mechanical parts of the assembly can also degrade. 

Symptoms of a bad detergent box assembly include:

• The detergent, bleach, or fabric softener not dispensing properly
• Visible cracks, warping, or damage to the box
• Residues remaining in the compartments after a wash cycle
• Leaks from the detergent box area
• Error messages related to dispensing issues

This OEM LG part is also compatible with some Sears/Kenmore washing machine models.

The Dispenser Assembly is an OEM part for LG front-loading washers. It is responsible for dispensing detergent and fabric softener at the appropriate times during the wash cycle. The dispenser assembly contains separate compartments for detergent and fabric softener, as well as timed mechanisms that release each additive when needed for cleaning and softening results.

Causes of a bad dispenser assembly can include issues with the dispensing mechanisms like clogging, jamming, or malfunctions preventing the timely release of detergent and softener. Damage to compartment seals or lids could also cause improper dispensing.

Symptoms of a bad dispenser assembly include:

• Residue or buildup of detergent in the drum or tub
• Strong detergent or fabric softener odors that won't come out of clothes
• Dispenser drawers, lids, or seals that do not close or lock securely

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore.

The Fabric Softener Cap is an OEM replacement part for LG front-loading washing machines. It is a replaceable component that securely fastens into the internal dispenser drawer, containing liquid fabric softener added during wash cycles. Color: blue. It measures about 2-1/2 inches wide by 4-1/2 inches deep.

Symptoms of a problematic cap could include: 

• Softener stains or residue accumulating around base gasket seals  
• Drips or puddles indicative of compromised sealing surfaces
• Cracks, fatigue, or warping affecting secure closure 

Causes typically relate to normal plastic material breakdown after years of opening and closing cycles. Exposure to cleaning detergents could potentially deteriorate gaskets as well.

Compatible brands include Kenmore Elite and some Café laundry appliances too.
