Kenmore / Sears 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 absorber is the factory-design replacement part that restores the appliance's intended absorption function, helping maintain normal operation and reduce related performance issues. What it does:

• Absorbs and manages moisture/condensate or trapped vapors in the appliance's system to support normal function.
• Helps prevent symptoms commonly linked to a failed absorber, such as excess moisture, unusual odors, or intermittent system cycling.
• Restores the original fit and function when the installed absorber is cracked, broken, or heavily degraded.
• Matches OEM shape and connection points for a direct replacement.

• One absorber replacement as shown

• High-level replacement: access the absorber location; no specialized calibration typically required.
• Disconnect power (and water supply if applicable) before removing panels or replacing parts.
• Handle carefully to avoid damage to surrounding components and wiring; use manufacturer-recommended fasteners.

This air inlet damper controls cold-air flow from the freezer into the refrigerator compartment to help maintain proper fresh-food temperatures. Replacing a faulty damper restores balanced airflow and more consistent cooling. What it does:

• Regulates the amount of cold air entering the fresh-food section from the freezer.
• Opens and closes as the fridge cycles to maintain set temperatures.
• Commonly replaces stuck, broken, or noisy dampers that cause uneven cooling.
• Often used when the refrigerator is warm while the freezer remains cold or when temperatures fluctuate.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Remove interior panels or grille per your model's service instructions to access the damper; keep screws and clips organized.
• Handle plastic fins and actuator gently to avoid damage; do not force the damper into position.
• Reconnect power and verify damper operation and temperature regulation after installation.

Size: 63-1/2 x 35-1/2 x 2-5/8 inch.

This insul-sound deadening pad reduces vibration and noise by dampening panels and components in laundry and kitchen appliances. It's a small adhesive-backed sound/isolation pad used where noise or rattles transfer through metal surfaces. What it does

• Dampens rattles and reduces structure-borne noise from panels, cabinets and housings.
• Helps isolate vibrating components from appliance chassis to lower perceived sound.
• Commonly applied behind control panels, cabinet walls or on motor mounts to cut vibration transmission.
• Useful when worn, detached or hardened factory pads allow increased noise.

• One insul-sound deadening pad

• Disconnect power before servicing an appliance to avoid shock or injury.
• Clean and dry mounting surface; press pad firmly to ensure adhesive contact.
• Replace only in the original location; do not cover vents or moving parts.
• If adhesive is weak, use OEM-approved adhesive; avoid solvents that may damage finishes.
