Kenmore Freezer 106.42106301 (10642106301, 106 42106301) Parts

This rubber grommet cushions and secures a refrigerator fan motor, isolating vibration to help reduce noise and keep the fan properly aligned in its mount.

• Provides a snug, vibration-dampening seat for the fan motor shaft or mounting stud
• Helps prevent rattling, buzzing, or humming sounds from a loose fan mount
• Maintains proper fan alignment to avoid blade contact with shrouds or brackets
• Replaces aged, cracked, or compressed rubber that can lead to increased vibration

• Disconnect power before service; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access the fan assembly (rear or evaporator section), support the motor, and remove the old grommet
• Press the new grommet fully into the bracket or housing; transfer any spacers as originally configured
• Reinstall the motor and verify the fan blade spins freely with no contact before restoring power

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 is a replacement screw designed to work with a wide range of household appliances. It is used for many purposes in these appliances, from holding body panels together to securing electronics into control boards. However, screws are subject to damage through corrosion, impact, and improper installation/removal. In most cases, the primary damage to this screw is through corrosion – it may become rusted or corroded in place, depending on the appliance and the maintenance provided during its lifespan. The screw may also be stripped or rounded due to improper removal or installation. If the screw is damaged, lost, or corroded in place, it will need to be replaced. In most cases, removal will require nothing more than a Phillips head screwdriver or the appropriately sized socket with a ratchet. However, if the screw is damaged, it may require a tap set to remove it from its mounting location. Note that this is a genuine OEM replacement screw made from durable, high-quality metal, and is sold individually. It fits Whirlpool, Maytag, Roper, Estate, Amana, Crosley, and Thermador appliances. It is used in over 150 machines, ranging from washers and dryers to air conditioners.

This evaporator fan motor circulates cold air across the evaporator coil and throughout the compartments. Replacing a weak or seized motor restores proper airflow, helping maintain even temperatures and consistent cooling performance.

• Spins the evaporator fan blade to move air across the coils and into the cabinet
• Helps balance temperatures between sections for uniform cooling
• Supports proper frost management by promoting airflow across the evaporator
• Common symptoms include no airflow, warm refrigerator section, intermittent cooling, or loud humming/whirring from the fan area

• Disconnect power before servicing and wear cut-resistant gloves
• Remove shelves/bins and the interior panel to access the evaporator area
• Unplug the connector, unmount the motor, and install the replacement; transfer the original fan blade and mounting pieces if required
• Ensure the fan spins freely and wiring is clear of the blade before reassembly and testing

This evaporator tray collects defrost/condensate water and holds it where warm air can evaporate it, helping prevent leaks and odors. Replace a cracked or warped tray to restore proper drainage and protect surrounding floors and cabinetry.

• Collects water from the evaporator/defrost system and contains it safely
• Promotes evaporation using airflow and heat near the condenser area
• Helps prevent puddles beneath the appliance and mildew odors
• Common signs of failure: water on the floor, recurring leaks after defrost, visible cracks/warping, or standing water in the pan

• Disconnect power and allow components to cool before servicing
• Access the tray from the base or rear (panel removal varies by model)
• Transfer any brackets, clips, or grommets from the old tray as needed
• Ensure the drain tube seats fully into the tray and that the tray is level; restore power and check for leaks

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

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

This is a factory mechanical thermostat used in Whirlpool-built refrigeration systems. It senses temperature and opens/closes its contacts to maintain the set point, restoring reliable cycling and consistent, predictable cooling performance. What it does:

• Monitors temperature and switches an electrical circuit on or off at specific thresholds
• Helps maintain target temperature and proper system cycling
• Failure can cause erratic temperatures, poor cooling, continuous running, or failure to cycle
• Can lead to intermittent operation or clicking/chattering at the control

• 1 mechanical thermostat

• Disconnect power before servicing; verify the circuit is de-energized
• Note wire positions and terminal orientation; transfer any brackets or insulating sleeves from the original part
• Route and secure any sensing element or leads exactly as the original; avoid pinching, kinking, or contact with moving parts
• After replacement, set the control and allow the appliance to stabilize before making final adjustments

This washer tub mounting bolt secures the tub assembly to its support points. Replacing worn or missing hardware helps keep the tub aligned and stable through wash and spin, reducing vibration and noise. What it does:
