Kenmore / Sears Washer Cable Or Retainer

The Magnetic Door Plunger is an OEM part for LG washing machines. It is designed to securely hold the door in a closed position during the operation cycle, employing a magnet mechanism for enhanced reliability. The plunger ensures that the door latch is properly engaged, preventing the machine from running if the door is not closed correctly.

Causes of a bad Magnetic Door Plunger can include wear and tear from constant use, failure of the magnetic mechanism due to exposure to moisture or mechanical damage, or a misalignment that prevents the door from closing properly.

Symptoms of a bad Magnetic Door Plunger include:

• The washing machine door not staying closed during cycles.
• The machine failing to start due to a door sensor not detecting closure.
• Random pausing of the machine during operation if the door unlatches.

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

A simple wire-fastening cable tie that secures wiring and small hoses to prevent rubbing, snagging, or loose routing inside the appliance. Helps keep components organized for safer, quieter operation. What it does

• Secures wiring bundles and small hoses to chassis or brackets to prevent abrasion and movement
• Helps stop intermittent shorts or electrical noise caused by wires rubbing or contacting other parts
• Keeps airflow and moving parts clear by holding wiring away from fans and belts
• Useful when replacing or re-routing harnesses during repairs

• Always disconnect power before working on the appliance.
• Loop tie around wiring or hose, pull to secure snugly, and trim excess tail; do not overtighten.
• Replace ties that are brittle or damaged; use the same routing as the original harness.
• Dispose of trimmed ends and avoid sharp edges that could cut wiring insulation.

This bushing protects the appliance service cord where it passes through the cabinet, reducing wear and preventing chafing that can expose wiring. It's a simple replacement that restores a safe cord entry point. What it does:

• Cushions and centers the service cord at the cabinet opening to prevent abrasion
• Helps keep the cord from rubbing on sharp metal edges that can cause insulation damage
• Reduces risk of shorting, sparking, or intermittent power caused by a worn cord
• Commonly replaced when the existing bushing is cracked, missing, or deformed

• One service cord bushing

• Disconnect power (unplug or switch off breaker) before servicing
• Inspect the cord and surrounding insulation; replace the cord if damage is found
• Push the bushing into the cabinet opening, then route the cord through the bushing until seated
• Reuse only if undamaged; do not force a damaged bushing into place

Drain hose retainer keeps the appliance's drain hose securely fastened to the cabinet or pump, helping prevent the hose from slipping loose. Replacing a broken retainer reduces leaks and improper draining caused by a detached hose. What it does:

• Secures the drain hose to the cabinet, pump outlet, or drain connection to maintain correct hose positioning.
• Helps prevent water leaks and hose disconnection during drain cycles.
• Common symptoms of a failed retainer: visible hose movement, water at the rear or floor, or intermittent draining issues.
• Replaces worn or broken retainers that no longer hold the hose firmly.

• Always disconnect power and turn off water before servicing the appliance.
• Access may require moving the appliance or removing a rear/access panel to reach the hose retainer.
• Seat the drain hose fully in its proper position, snap or clip the retainer into place, and verify the hose is secure and not kinked.
• Inspect the drain hose for cracks or wear while replacing the retainer; replace the hose if damaged.

This retainer is a small mounting clip that secures internal components in place to prevent movement and vibration. It helps maintain proper alignment so the appliance runs quietly and parts stay positioned. What it does:

• Holds a specific internal component or assembly securely to the cabinet or frame
• Prevents rattling, vibration, or misalignment caused by loose parts
• Keeps wiring, hoses, or small subassemblies from shifting during operation
• Helps maintain reliable operation by preserving component position

• One retainer clip as shown

• Designed for simple replacement; access may require removal of panels or covers
• Inspect surrounding mounts and fasteners and replace any that are damaged
• Use basic hand tools; disconnect power before servicing to avoid shock or injury
