Kenmore Refrigerator 106.51269105 (10651269105, 106 51269105) Parts

This ice maker mold and heater assembly forms the cube cavities and briefly warms the mold during harvest so ice releases cleanly. Replace a corroded, leaking, or non-heating mold to restore reliable ice production and ejection. What it does:

• Contains and shapes water into ice cubes during the freeze cycle
• Integrated heater warms the mold during harvest so cubes release to the ejector
• Failure can cause cubes to stick in the mold, stalled harvests, or no ice production
• Pitting or corrosion of the mold can lead to leaks and poor cube release

• One ice maker mold with attached heater assembly

• Disconnect power before servicing; turn off the ice maker or water supply to prevent fill during service
• Remove the ice maker from the freezer to access the internal mold assembly; support wiring and harnesses
• Transfer any reusable components and fasteners from the original unit as directed by your service information
• After reassembly, restore power and allow a full cycle to verify proper fill, release, and ejection

Color: White. Size: 2 oz. can. Porcelain touch-up paint.

This replacement screw secures panels, brackets, or trim on compatible Whirlpool appliances to restore proper fit and reduce rattles and movement. Use it when a fastener is missing, loose, or stripped. What it does:

• Secures appliance panels, trim pieces, brackets, or small components in place
• Restores proper fit to eliminate rattling, gaps, or shifting parts
• Replaces missing, worn, or damaged screws that compromise mounting
• Matches OEM form and function when the correct screw is specified for the repair

• Turn off power to the appliance before working near controls, heating elements, or wiring
• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head; do not overtighten
• Keep removed screws in a container to ensure none are lost during reassembly

This flipper spring returns the refrigerator's ice dispenser door (chute flapper) to the closed position after dispensing. It helps keep warm air and moisture out to minimize frost at the chute and reduce ice clumping in the bin.

• Provides the closing tension for the ice chute door/flapper
• Helps maintain a proper seal at the dispenser opening
• If worn or broken, you may notice the flapper not closing fully
• Frost/condensation around the chute or ice clumping in the bucket may occur

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Remove dispenser trim/control to access the ice chute door assembly; note spring orientation and anchor points
• Install the new spring in the same orientation; the flapper moves freely and closes under spring tension
• Wear gloves and use caution—metal edges in the dispenser area can be sharp

This bottom hinge plate mounts at the base of the refrigerator cabinet to anchor the lower door hinge. Replacing a worn or bent plate restores smooth door swing and a reliable seal for consistent cooling performance.

• Anchors the lower door hinge to the cabinet frame
• Supports door weight and helps maintain proper alignment
• Promotes smooth door operation and consistent gasket contact
• If bent or worn, can cause door sagging, rubbing, or poor sealing

• Disconnect power; turn off water supply if applicable
• Support or remove the door before loosening hinge fasteners
• Reuse existing screws/hinge components; install the plate flush and tighten securely
• Adjust hinge as needed

The Nut is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This small yet essential component is used to secure various parts of the refrigerator, such as shelves, panels, or brackets, ensuring stability and proper alignment. Its durable design ensures reliable performance in the demanding environment of a refrigerator.

• Fastens sheet metal and component brackets in designated locations
• Replaces missing, stripped, or corroded hardware
• Helps eliminate rattling and vibration from loose panels
• Maintains proper alignment of covers and assemblies

• 1 screw

• Disconnect electrical power; shut off water or gas supplies if applicable
• Match length/thread to the original; replace one fastener at a time to preserve alignment

This replacement blade is the rotating element used within the appliance assembly to deliver the intended action. Installing a new blade restores smooth, efficient operation when the original is cracked, bent, worn, or missing.

• Provides the mechanical action required by the assembly (rotation/agitation)
• Helps maintain consistent performance and smooth operation
• Common failure signs: rattling or scraping noises, vibration/wobble
• Other symptoms: reduced performance in that section of the appliance, visible chips, cracks, or deformation

• Disconnect power before servicing; turn off water supply if applicable
• Wear cut-resistant gloves; edges may be sharp
• Note the original blade's orientation and spacing before removal; install the new blade the same way
• Hand-rotate after installation to ensure free movement and clearance before restoring power

This thermostat retainer clip secures the defrost thermostat to the evaporator tubing in your refrigerator or freezer, maintaining firm contact for accurate temperature sensing and dependable defrost operation.

• Holds the thermostat firmly against the evaporator line for proper temperature feedback
• Helps prevent a loose or dangling thermostat that contribute to frost buildup and poor defrost performance
• Restores correct mounting when the original clip is cracked, bent, or missing
• Common signs include a broken clip or a thermostat not attached to the coil

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access the evaporator compartment; remove accumulated frost/ice as needed without prying on coil fins
• Position the thermostat body flat against the tubing and snap the retainer over it, avoiding pinched wires or damaged fins
• Confirm a secure fit and proper wire routing before reassembling and restoring power

This drain fitting extension connects to the ice machine's drain outlet to extend the connection point for proper hose attachment. It helps ensure a secure, leak-resistant drain path so meltwater can exit the unit correctly.

• Extends the factory drain fitting to improve hose reach and connection
• Maintains a tight, stable drain hookup to help prevent leaks
• Designed for ice machines that use a gravity or pump-assisted drain path

• Disconnect power and shut off water before servicing
• Place a towel or pan to catch residual water
• Ensure the drain hose seats fully and clamp is secure per your model's instructions
• Check for leaks by running a short test after reassembly

Replacement wire harness that restores electrical connections between the appliance control, power and components for reliable operation and correct signaling. Use this complete wiring assembly when damaged wires or connectors cause power or control issues. What it does:

• Routes power and signal conductors between the control board, switches, motors and sensors.
• Replaces damaged, frayed or melted wiring and broken connectors that can cause intermittent operation, no-start or control failures.
• Restores factory-style plug connections and routing to help prevent miswiring and shorts.
• Matches the original connector shapes and wire colors for straightforward replacement.

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before servicing to avoid shock or injury.
• Remove and replace the harness by disconnecting connectors at the control and components; handle connectors by the plastic bodies, not the wires.
• Route the harness along the original path and secure with existing clips or fasteners to prevent rubbing or heat exposure.
