Parts for Kitchenaid KBSD606ESS01: 15 - Lower Unit And Tube Parts

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.

This screw is used to secure the handle end cap to the center of the door. The screw size measures 8-18 x 1/2 inches.

This heater pan is the stamped metal mounting tray that supports the dryer's heating element and helps route airflow for proper drying. It replaces a damaged or corroded pan to restore correct heater placement and airflow. What it does:

• Provides a stable mounting surface for the dryer heating element assembly
• Helps direct heated air through the dryer cabinet for efficient drying
• Prevents the heating element from contacting other components
• Can reduce rubbing or vibration noises caused by a warped or broken pan
• Common symptom link: dryer not heating properly, unusual noises, or visible damage/corrosion to the pan

• One heater pan

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Some panels or components must be removed to access the heater pan; keep track of fasteners
• Handle sheet metal carefully—edges may be sharp

This heater is the OEM-style heating-element assembly that restores normal heat in compatible appliances. It replaces a worn or failed element so the unit can heat reliably and complete cycles as designed. What it does:

• Converts electrical power into heat to warm the appliance cavity or drum
• Commonly used when the appliance no longer produces sufficient heat
• Can cause tripped breakers or extended run times if the element is burned or shorted
• Works as part of the appliance's heating system with thermostats and safety controls

• One heater

• Disconnect all power before replacing the heater to avoid electric shock
• Handle the element carefully to avoid bending or damaging terminals and mounting tabs
• After installation, restore power and test the appliance for correct heating and proper operation

This heater clamp secures a heating element in the correct position within the appliance. Proper support keeps the element stable so it operates quietly and melts frost as designed for consistent, reliable performance.

• Holds the heater firmly in place to maintain correct alignment
• Reduces movement and vibration that can cause noise or wear
• Helps promote even frost melt during defrost for steady cooling
• Symptoms of a damaged or missing clamp can include recurring frost/ice buildup, a heater out of position, or rattling from the freezer area

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access the heater/evaporator by removing the freezer panel as applicable
• Note the original clamp orientation and routing before removal
• Use needle-nose pliers to install; avoid damaging evaporator fins and do not deform the heater—position it exactly as originally placed

This is a replacement door seal that forms a secure, flexible barrier around the appliance door to help prevent leaks and maintain proper temperature and operation. It restores the seal between the door and cabinet for reliable performance. What it does:

• Creates a watertight/airtight barrier at the door to prevent leaks and spills
• Helps maintain correct internal temperature or pressure during operation
• Reduces vibration and rattling by cushioning the door edge
• Worn or damaged seals can cause visible leaks, poor cycle performance, or unusual noises

• One replacement door seal

• For safety, disconnect power and water before starting
• Inspect mounting channel and door edge for debris or damage; clean before installing
• Seat the seal evenly around the full door per OEM alignment and trim instructions if required

This bracket provides a secure mounting point for internal appliance components, restoring proper alignment and reducing vibration for smooth operation. Use it to replace a worn, bent or missing support bracket. What it does:

• Secures panels, assemblies or components to the appliance frame to prevent movement
• Restores proper alignment and fit where a bracket has failed or been removed
• Helps eliminate rattling, vibration or misaligned parts caused by a damaged bracket
• Simple, passive component—no electrical function

• Bracket

• Disconnect power (and water, if applicable) before starting any repair
• Inspect mounting holes and mating surfaces for damage before installing
• Reuse or replace original fasteners as appropriate; tighten securely but avoid over-torquing

This damper heater is the heater element used with the refrigerator air-damper assembly to help prevent frost and condensation buildup around the damper. Replaces a failed heater to restore proper damper operation and airflow. What it does:

• Warms the damper area to reduce ice and condensation that can block the damper
• Helps ensure the fresh-food and freezer compartments share airflow as intended
• Commonly replaced when frost or ice accumulates near the damper or when the damper fails to open/close smoothly
• Works as part of the damper/air control system; does not include the full damper housing or actuators unless specified

• Disconnect power to the appliance before replacing this part to avoid shock or injury
• Access may require removing interior panels or the damper housing; follow OEM instructions for your model
• Inspect the damper housing and actuator for damage or ice buildup when replacing the heater

Size: 1/4 inch hex head, 10-12 x 1/2 inch.
