Kenmore Refrigerator 106.48067892 (10648067892, 106 48067892) Parts

Capacitor supplies a short burst of stored electrical energy to help the appliance motor start and run efficiently. Replacing a failing capacitor can restore reliable motor startup and reduce humming or intermittent operation. What it does

• Provides the electrical boost motors need to start and maintain proper speed.
• A failing capacitor commonly causes motors to hum, struggle to start, run slowly, or stop unexpectedly.
• Used on motors and fans that require a start/run assist; replacing a bad capacitor often resolves startup and intermittent operation issues.

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before accessing electrical components.
• Discharge the capacitor safely (use insulated tools and gloves) before touching terminals — capacitors can hold a dangerous charge.
• Photograph or label wiring and terminal locations before removal so replacements reconnect exactly the same way.

This thermostat knob is the control dial used to set temperature on compatible ranges and ovens, restoring a clear pointer and easy grip when the original knob is cracked, faded, or missing. It provides a simple, user-facing control for the appliance thermostat. What it does:

• Turns the thermostat control shaft to select cooking temperature settings.
• Replaces cracked, worn, broken, loose, or missing knobs that make temperature adjustments difficult.
• Restores a visible pointer/indicator for accurate temperature selection.
• Improves grip and tactile feedback for safer, easier temperature changes.

• Turn appliance controls OFF and cool before replacing the knob.
• Remove the old knob by pulling it straight off the control shaft; align the new knob splines with the shaft and push on until fully seated.
• If the knob is stuck, use gentle rocking while pulling; do not pry on surrounding surfaces or force the shaft.

This hole plug covers an unused opening in the appliance cabinet. It restores a clean, finished look and helps keep spills, dust, and moisture out of internal components.

• Seals an unused hole in the cabinet for a tidy, finished appearance
• Helps protect internal parts from liquids, dust, and humidity
• Covers sharp or unfinished edges around open holes
• Common signs it's needed: missing/broken cap, exposed hole, or a plug that won't stay seated

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, shut off gas/water before starting.
• Remove the old plug; access from the front or from behind the panel as needed.
• Align and press the new plug firmly into the opening until fully seated and flush.
• If panel removal is required for access, handle sheet metal carefully and reinstall all fasteners.

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 condenser fan motor bracket secures the condenser fan motor to the appliance chassis, keeping the cooling fan stable so it can move air across the condenser for proper cooling performance and prevent wobble or contact. What it does:
