Kenmore Refrigerator 106.40563011 (10640563011, 106 40563011) Parts

This fan motor retainer secures the refrigerator's fan motor to its mounting bracket or shroud, reducing vibration and keeping the fan aligned so air circulates properly for consistent cooling.

• Secures the fan motor to its bracket or shroud
• Maintains proper fan alignment and clearance for consistent airflow
• Helps reduce vibration, buzzing, or rattling from a loose motor
• A worn or missing retainer may present as scraping fan noises or uneven airflow

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing; allow moving parts to stop and wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access the fan area per your model
• Transfer the motor into the new retainer and reinstall using existing hardware as required
• Ensure the fan blade spins freely and clears the shroud before restoring power

This slide air control is the user-adjustable vent regulator that directs and limits airflow in the appliance, restoring selectable ventilation for proper operation and performance. What it does

• Opens and closes the vent path so you can increase or restrict airflow.
• Replaces a cracked, stuck, or missing slider that prevents proper vent adjustment.
• Helps resolve weak or inconsistent airflow caused by a broken control slide.
• Fits into the appliance's air control assembly to provide smooth, selectable operation.

• One slide air control.

• Disconnect power before beginning any service to avoid shock or injury.
• Typical replacement requires access to the front or control housing; remove panels and retain fasteners for reassembly.
• Handle plastic components gently to avoid cracking; ensure the slider is aligned in its track before securing panels.
• Test operation after reassembly to ensure the airflow selector moves freely and vents appropriately.

• Helps prevent turbulence that can cause noise during operation
• Supports even performance by keeping airflow directed where the OEM design intended
• Commonly replaced when cracked, warped, or missing

• Turn power (and gas, if applicable) off before beginning any repair
• Access may require removing panels or the drum/inner cavity
• Inspect surrounding mounting tabs and fasteners; replace any damaged hardware
