Kenmore Ice Maker 106.89482997 (10689482997, 106 89482997) Parts

The condenser fan motor is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It plays a vital role in circulating refrigerant through the condenser coils, facilitating heat exchange and maintaining the refrigerator's cooling efficiency.

Over time, the motor-condenser can wear out or fail due to electrical issues, mechanical wear, or blockages in the condenser system. A malfunctioning motor can compromise the refrigerator's cooling performance, leading to temperature fluctuations and increased energy consumption.

Symptoms of a bad Motor-Condenser include:

• The refrigerator not cooling properly
• Unusual noises coming from the back of the refrigerator
• The compressor running continuously
• Increased energy bills due to inefficient operation
• Overheating of the refrigerator

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

This wire harness connects the ice maker's cutter grid to the appliance's electrical system, supplying power so the heated grid can slice the ice slab into cubes. Replacing a damaged harness helps restore consistent cube separation and production.

• Routes electrical power to the cutter grid/heating wires
• A failed, loose, or heat-damaged harness may prevent the grid from warming
• Common symptoms may include whole sheets or large chunks in the bin, cubes not separating, or intermittent/slow ice production
• Visual signs can include melted/discolored grid connectors or broken/brittle conductors

• Disconnect power before servicing; allow the cutter grid to cool completely
• Note wiring/connector orientation; transfer one connection at a time to match original routing
• Seat connectors fully and secure the harness in original clips/standoffs away from sharp edges
• After reassembly, restore power and verify the cutter grid warms during a cycle

• Keep removed fasteners and parts organized for reassembly; replace any damaged screws

This catch assembly secures the appliance door in the closed position, restoring proper latching and preventing unwanted openings. It's a direct-fit replacement designed to match the original OEM function. What it does

• Holds the door closed so seals stay engaged and the appliance maintains internal temperature
• Prevents the door from popping open or rattling during operation or transit
• Helps stop issues like airflow loss, frequent door alarms, or intermittent cycling caused by a loose latch
• Matches OEM fit and mounting points for straightforward replacement

• One catch assembly

• Disconnect power (and water if applicable) before starting any repair
• Remove the door panel or trim required to access the existing catch; keep screws and fasteners organized
• Compare the new part to the old part before installation to ensure fit and orientation
• After installation, cycle the door several times to ensure secure engagement and proper alignment

A replacement cutting grid cover that protects the cutting grid assembly and helps maintain efficient ice crushing and dispensing. Restores proper alignment and keeps debris away from the cutting blades for smoother operation. What it does:

• Protects the ice cutting grid from damage and foreign debris
• Keeps ice pieces contained for consistent crushing and dispensing
• Helps reduce grinding noise and uneven ice formation when the original cover is cracked or missing
• Supports proper alignment of the cutting grid assembly during operation

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any service.
• Access the ice maker/ice crusher per your model's service instructions; part typically snaps or slides into place.
• Handle plastic components gently to avoid cracking; ensure cover is fully seated and secured.

This drain tube directs wastewater from the appliance to the drain path to prevent leaks and restore normal draining. Replace a damaged or cracked tube to stop water loss and reduce the chance of floor damage. What it does:

• Channels water from the washer tub to the drain pump or household drain
• Stops leaks caused by cracked, split, or brittle tubing
• Helps resolve slow draining or water pooling in the washer
• Restores a secure connection when the original tube has become loose or worn

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before starting any repair
• Remove the old tube and transfer clamps or use new clamps rated for the appliance
• Ensure the tube is routed without kinks and seated firmly on fittings

This is a replacement hex nut used to secure appliance components and fasteners. It restores a tight, reliable connection where a worn or missing nut causes loose panels, trim, or bracketing. What it does:

• Secures threaded studs, bolts, or fasteners to keep panels and components in place
• Restores proper fastening when original nut is stripped, corroded, or lost
• Helps eliminate rattling, vibration, or loose parts caused by a missing/failed nut
• Compatible with the appliance locations that use a standard hex nut for mounting

• Turn off and unplug the appliance before accessing interior panels or fasteners
