Kenmore Refrigerator 106.39424990 (10639424990, 106 39424990) Parts

This freezer wire harness links the refrigerator's control system to components inside the freezer compartment. Replacing a compromised harness restores reliable electrical connections and can resolve intermittent or dead freezer functions caused by burned, broken, or corroded wiring.

• Routes power and signals between the control system and freezer components
• Supports proper operation of devices such as the evaporator fan, defrost circuit, lighting, or icemaker
• Replaces cut, heat-damaged, or brittle wiring and loose/oxidized connectors
• Typical symptoms: intermittent cooling, components not running, or visible burned/melted connectors

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Photograph routing and connections; move wires over one-by-one to the new harness
• Seat connectors fully until locking tabs engage; avoid forcing pins
• Route through original clips/grommets and keep clear of sharp edges, hot surfaces, and moving parts

This wire shelf restores a stable, level storage surface in the refrigerator compartment. Replace a bent, rusted, or missing shelf to improve organization and maintain usable space.

• Provides a sturdy, level surface for food storage in the refrigerator compartment
• Open-wire design allows air circulation between levels for consistent cooling
• Replace if wires are bent or broken, welds have failed, or coating is chipped/peeling
• Symptoms include shelf sagging, instability, items tipping, or reduced usable space

• Disconnect power for safety before servicing
• Remove items from the area and take out the old shelf
• Insert the new shelf into the liner slots or onto the support rails; ensure it's fully seated and level
• Wear gloves and distribute weight evenly after installation

The Hinge-Sleeve Hole Plug is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is designed to cover the hinge sleeve holes on the refrigerator door, providing a finished look and protecting the internal components from dust and debris.

Common causes of a bad hinge-sleeve hole plug include physical damage during routine maintenance or accidental impacts. A missing or damaged plug can lead to exposure of internal hinge components, potentially causing further damage over time.

Symptoms of a bad hinge-sleeve hole plug include:

• Visible gaps or holes in the refrigerator door hinge area
• Accumulation of dust or debris in the hinge mechanism
• Loose or unstable refrigerator door hinges

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

This gasket/seal creates a tight barrier between two mating parts in your appliance to prevent leaks and performance loss. Replacing a worn gasket restores proper sealing and helps stop seepage at the joint. What it does

• Forms a reliable seal between components to prevent fluid or air leaks
• Maintains proper operation by keeping the sealed area contained
• Replaces gaskets that are brittle, cracked, flattened, or swollen
• Common signs include residue or moisture around the joint, visible wear on the old gasket, or a loose/poor seal

• 1 gasket/seal

• Disconnect power and any water or gas supply before servicing
• Note the gasket's orientation; compare old and new parts before installation
• Clean and dry mating surfaces; remove old adhesive and debris
• Seat the gasket evenly; do not overtighten fasteners; test for leaks after reassembly

This thimble is a small insert used in the freezer compartment. It reinforces a mounting hole, prevents liner wear, and helps keep attached hardware stable and properly aligned for smooth, quiet operation.

• Serves as a protective bushing for a hole in the freezer compartment liner
• Helps stabilize and align the component secured at that location
• Replaces cracked, worn, or missing inserts that can cause loose hardware, wobbling, or rattling
• Restores proper fit while helping prevent further wear to the liner

• Unplug the refrigerator and clear the work area in the freezer before service
• Remove the fastener/component to access the insert, then pull the old thimble straight out
• Press the new thimble fully into the hole; reinstall hardware without overtightening
• Use care—cold plastic and liner edges can be brittle or sharp

Due to manufacturer changes, if D shaft hinge pin is needed use part number WP2325483.

This replacement screw secures panels, brackets, or trim within your appliance. Replacing a worn, stripped, or missing screw restores a tight, rattle-free fit so components stay aligned and operate as intended. What it does:

• Fastens components at the original factory locations specified for this part
• Replaces missing, damaged, or stripped screws to restore holding power
• Helps reduce vibration and rattling from loose parts
• Maintains proper alignment of panels, covers, brackets, and trim

• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) before servicing
• Match to the original screw and install in the same location and orientation
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly without overtightening
• Use the correct driver or nut-driver; transfer any washers or spacers from the original hardware if present

Color: white. It measures about 1 inch in diameter.

This washer is a small hardware spacer used in appliance assemblies to distribute load and maintain proper spacing under a fastener or rotating component. Replacing a worn or missing washer helps restore alignment, reduce noise, and keep parts secure.

• Distributes fastener load to protect mating surfaces
• Maintains spacing/alignment between components
• Can act as a thrust surface to reduce friction and wear
• Typical symptoms: looseness or wobble, scraping/squeaking noises, or parts that won't stay tight

• Disconnect power; shut off gas and/or water as applicable
• Note the order/orientation of washers, spacers, and clips during disassembly; take a photo for reference
• Inspect related parts (retainers, bushings) and replace if worn
• Tighten fasteners per manufacturer guidance; avoid overtightening and verify smooth operation after reassembly

Almond. Size: 13 oz. can. Acrylic appliance paint.

This hinge cover replaces a damaged or missing hinge trim to protect and conceal the hinge assembly and restore the appliance's finished appearance. It fits over the hinge area and helps reduce dirt buildup and exposed hardware. What it does:

• Covers and protects hinge hardware, hiding screws and sharp edges
• Helps keep dirt, lint, and moisture out of the hinge area
• Restores the appliance's original, finished look
• Common symptoms: cracked, broken, or missing cover; exposed hinge hardware; cosmetic damage or debris buildup

• Refer to your model diagram for correct orientation and fastener locations
• Basic hand tools may be required; some models need the hinge loosened or partially removed
• Disconnect power and/or unplug the appliance before starting work when applicable
• Handle edges carefully to avoid cuts; follow OEM instructions for reassembly
