Kenmore Refrigerator 106.44073600 (10644073600, 106 44073600) 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 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.

This wire assembly connects the capacitor to the appliance's motor or control, restoring a secure electrical path for reliable start/run operation. Replaces a damaged or worn harness to help resolve starting and intermittent power issues. What it does:

• Provides insulated wiring and terminals to link the capacitor to the motor or control
• Ensures a secure electrical connection for proper start/run signaling
• Can resolve symptoms such as failure to start, humming or intermittent motor starting
• Prevents shorts or arcing from frayed or damaged wiring when functioning correctly

• Always disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing
• Capacitors can hold a dangerous charge — have the capacitor safely discharged before disconnecting wires
• Match connectors and routing to the original harness; secure wires away from moving parts and heat sources

This thermal overload protector helps prevent motor overheating by interrupting power if temperatures rise past safe limits. It restores the dryer's built-in overheat protection so the motor and components are shielded from heat damage. What it does:

• Senses excessive motor temperature and opens the circuit to stop the motor when it overheats
• Helps prevent motor burnout and wiring damage caused by sustained high temperatures
• Works as the thermal safety device commonly used on dryer motors and related assemblies
• Can resolve symptoms like a dryer that hums but won't run or a motor that shuts off unexpectedly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Handle the part carefully and note thermostat/orientation before removal for correct reinstallation
• If the original part shows signs of damage, inspect motor and wiring for underlying causes before replacing

A replacement lower hinge shim that helps level and align a refrigerator door for smoother opening and a better seal. Use when a door sits unevenly, rubs the cabinet, or doesn't close flush. What it does

• Provides a thin, durable spacer under the bottom hinge to correct door tilt and height
• Restores proper door alignment to improve sealing and reduce rubbing or binding
• Helps stop uneven wear on gasket edges caused by a misaligned door
• Works with the existing hinge assembly; often used during hinge replacement or adjustment

• Disconnect power and remove food from the door area before starting work
• Support the door while loosening or removing hinge fasteners to prevent it from falling
• Install the shim under the bottom hinge plate as needed, then re-torque fasteners and check door alignment

This shelf stud secures refrigerator shelves or glass shelves to the side liner, restoring proper support and alignment for safe storage. Replace a broken or missing stud to stop shelves from tilting or slipping. What it does:

• Supports and anchors refrigerator shelves to the cabinet liner
• Keeps glass or wire shelves level and prevents sagging
• Replaces damaged, cracked, or missing shelf studs that allow shelves to tilt
• Helps restore secure shelf placement after impact or wear

• One shelf stud

• Designed for straightforward replacement; remove the shelf before installing
• Align stud with the shelf bracket or notch and press or snap into place as the model requires
• Use care to avoid cracking adjacent trim; do not force excessive pressure
• Disconnect power only if accessing electrical components—this part replacement typically does not require it
