Parts for Kenmore 721.67909600 (72167909600, 721 67909600): Motor Parts

A Tap-Tite binding-head screw used to fasten appliance panels and components where a self-tapping metal thread is required. Replaces missing or damaged fasteners to restore secure assembly and reduce vibration or rattling. What it does:

• Creates its own mating thread in thin sheet metal for a secure hold without a nut.
• Holds panels, brackets, and trim in place to prevent looseness or movement.
• Commonly used where stripped, missing, or broken screws cause rattling, misalignment, or parts that won't stay attached.
• Compatible with standard screwdrivers or nut drivers sized to the binding-head.

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before working on it.
• Use the correct driver bit to avoid cam-out or head damage.
• Start straight and apply steady pressure; avoid overtightening to prevent stripping the formed threads.
• If the original hole is badly damaged, assess for repair or use of a larger fastener as needed.

Small fastening nut that secures components inside microwaves and ranges. Replace if worn, missing, or stripped to restore proper assembly fit.

A flat washer used with the appliance's fastening hardware to distribute load and reduce wear. Helps maintain secure connections and prevents damage to mating surfaces for reliable operation. What it does:

• Provides an even bearing surface for bolts or screws to prevent pull-through
• Reduces friction and wear between fasteners and housing parts
• Helps keep fasteners tight and resists loosening from vibration
• Commonly used where a smooth, protective spacer is needed

• Verify correct location and orientation before reassembly
• Use manufacturer-recommended fasteners and torque specifications
• Power off and unplug the appliance before accessing internal components

Replacement mounting screw for microwaves and wall ovens. Secures internal components and panels. Order a new screw if yours is stripped, missing, or lost.

This is a wire holder clip used inside a microwave to secure and route internal wiring. It keeps wires organized and safely positioned away from heat sources and moving components. Replace this holder if it is broken or missing, which can allow wires to hang loose and potentially contact hot surfaces or interfere with other parts.

This duct cover is the external housing panel that protects and routes dryer vent airflow, helping maintain proper venting and preventing debris from entering the duct area. Fits as a direct replacement for damaged or missing vent housing covers. What it does:

• Covers and protects the dryer vent opening and internal duct connection
• Helps direct exhaust airflow from the appliance to the exhaust duct
• Prevents lint, dust, and small debris from entering the vent cavity
• Restores a secure, finished vent connection when the original cover is cracked or broken

• One duct cover

• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) and unplug the appliance before starting
• Access may require removing the rear panel or moving the appliance
• Handle edges carefully; use gloves to avoid cuts and ensure a snug fit to prevent air leaks
• If seal or mounting hardware is damaged, replace with correct fasteners or gaskets for a proper fit

Microwave won't heat? A failing high-voltage capacitor disrupts the heating circuit. This part stores electrical energy for consistent operation.

Fix weak or noisy ventilation with this microwave blower fan. Restores proper airflow when exhaust isn't working. Moderate DIY repair in 30-45 minutes.

Microwave won't heat but runs normally? A failed magnetron is the likely cause. This part generates the microwaves that cook food. Moderate DIY repair.

Microwave won't heat or makes loud buzzing noise? The diode regulates magnetron current flow. Simple repair—test with multimeter for continuity.

Thermistor is a temperature-sensing replacement that monitors refrigerator and freezer temperatures so the control board can regulate cooling. Replacing a faulty thermistor restores accurate temperature readings and helps stabilize cooling performance. What it does:

• Senses interior/evaporator temperature and sends a signal to the control board for temperature regulation.
• Helps prevent erratic cooling, long run-times, or inconsistent compartment temperatures when operating correctly.
• Faulty thermistors can contribute to excessive frost, failed defrost cycles, or compressor cycling issues.
• Use when the existing sensor fails to report correct temperatures or the part number matches.

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or damage.
• The sensor is typically mounted on or near the evaporator or inside a cabinet wall; access may require removing panels or covers.
• Handle the sensor and wiring harness gently; avoid pulling on wires or bending the sensor element.

This heater sheath is the metal housing that surrounds and protects the dryer's electric heating element, helping direct heated air into the drum for normal drying. Replaces a damaged or corroded sheath to restore safe, efficient heating. What it does

• Holds and shields the heating element assembly to prevent contact with other components
• Directs airflow around the heating element so the dryer can produce warm air
• Helps maintain proper element alignment and electrical insulation
• Common symptom: dryer runs but produces little or no heat
• Common symptom: visible damage, rust, or burn marks on the element housing

• One heater sheath (heating element housing) as shown

• Disconnect power (unplug or switch off breaker) before servicing to avoid electric shock
• Handle the heating element and terminals carefully; sharp edges may be present
• Inspect element, thermal fuse, and wiring while the cabinet is open; replace only confirmed faulty parts

Microwave overheating or not ventilating properly? This blower wheel circulates air to cool internal components. Common DIY repair, takes 15-30 minutes.

This Fan Blade is an OEM part for LG microwaves. It is a critical component designed to circulate air within the microwave, aiding in heat dissipation and ensuring even cooking. 

Fan blades in microwaves can suffer from wear, imbalance, or damage due to regular use or accumulation of debris. A malfunctioning fan blade can lead to inadequate ventilation, affecting the microwave's cooking efficiency and potentially causing overheating.

Symptoms of a bad fan blade include:

• Unusual noises during operation, such as rattling or buzzing, indicate a loose or damaged blade.
• The microwave overheating or shutting off prematurely.
• Inconsistent cooking or hot spots in food suggest poor air circulation.
• The fan not starting, or stopping unexpectedly during use.
• Visible signs of damage or wear on the blade.

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