Kenmore Refrigerator 106.9600586 (1069600586, 106 9600586) Parts

Size: 3/4 inch.

This is a replacement screw used to secure appliance panels and components. It restores proper fit and prevents loose parts that cause vibration, rattling, or misalignment for a tighter, safer assembly. What it does:

• Secures covers, trim, brackets, or control panels to the appliance frame
• Keeps components aligned to prevent rattling and movement during operation
• Replaces stripped, missing, or damaged fasteners that compromise fit
• Helps restore structural stability for normal operation

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before beginning any repair
• Use the correct screwdriver or driver bit to avoid stripping the head
• Hand-start the screw and tighten until snug; avoid over-tightening which can crack plastic or strip threads
• If threads are damaged, replace with correct OEM fastener.

Size: 1/4 lb.

Size: 1/4 inch.

Size: 8-32 x 1/2 inch.

This is a 8-15 x 2.00 in. hex washer head, self-locking screw used to secure appliance panels and components. It provides a durable, vibration-resistant fastener that helps keep parts aligned and stable. What it does:

• Fastens and secures panels, brackets, or assemblies to the appliance frame
• Self-locking design helps resist loosening from vibration or thermal cycling
• Hex washer head gives a larger bearing surface to prevent pull-through on thin materials
• Commonly replaced when screws are missing, stripped, or causing loose/rattling parts

• Use the correct driver/socket to avoid rounding the hex head
• Tighten until snug; avoid over-torquing which can strip threads or damage components
• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety procedures before working inside the unit
• Replace any stripped or damaged mating hardware for secure fastening

This start relay controls power to the compressor's start winding so the refrigerator can start and run. Replacing a weak or burned relay restores dependable compressor start-up and can stop repeated clicking with warming temperatures.

• Energizes the compressor's start winding to provide initial torque, then disengages from the circuit
• Common failure symptoms: refrigerator not cooling or intermittently warm; compressor hums/clicks and won't start; relay rattles, smells burnt, or shows heat damage; overload trips
• Helps prevent hard-start conditions that stress the compressor
• The relay contacts are open/shorted, the compressor may fail to start and cycle off on overload

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear appropriate PPE
• Access the rear machine compartment; remove the relay cover on the compressor. Note wire positions, pull the old relay straight off the compressor pins, transfer wires, and fully seat the new relay in the same orientation
• If equipped, safely discharge the run capacitor; inspect the overload, wiring, and terminals for heat damage and address as needed
• Reinstall the cover. If the compressor still won't start, further diagnosis of the start device, capacitor, or compressor is required

This evaporator fan blade mounts on the freezer's fan motor and circulates cold air through the cabinet. Replacing a cracked, loose, or warped blade restores proper airflow for even cooling and reliable refrigerator performance.

• Circulates air across the evaporator coils to push chilled air throughout the compartments
• Helps maintain consistent temperatures and overall cooling efficiency
• Supports frost control by keeping air moving over the coils
• Typical failure signs: rattling/scraping noises, weak airflow, uneven cooling, or frost buildup

• Unplug the appliance before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access the evaporator fan (commonly behind the rear freezer panel)
• Pull the old blade straight off the motor shaft; align and press the new blade on, matching the original orientation/position
• Hand-spin to confirm clearance; reassemble and restore power to test airflow

This compressor mounting grommet kit replaces worn or damaged rubber mounts that secure the compressor and reduce vibration. Restoring proper mounts helps cut down on compressor noise and prevents movement-related wear. What it does:

• Cushions and isolates the compressor to reduce vibration and rattling noise
• Keeps the compressor secured to its mounting bracket during operation
• Helps prevent stress and wear on mounting hardware and tubing
• Addresses symptoms like excessive vibration, banging, or unusual compressor noise

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repairs
• Support the compressor while removing and installing mounts to prevent strain or shifting
• Use appropriate hand tools and avoid over-tightening fasteners that can compress or damage grommets

Color: white. Measures about 30 inches wide by 20 inches deep.

This terminal block cover protects the appliance's electrical connection area from accidental contact and debris, helping reduce the risk of shorts and corrosion while keeping wiring secure and contained. What it does:

• Covers and shields the power terminal/block where the power cord connects
• Helps prevent accidental contact with live terminals and reduces short risk
• Keeps out dust, lint and debris that can cause corrosion or arcing
• Useful when the original cover is cracked, missing or showing burn marks

• Always disconnect power (unplug or switch off breaker) before servicing electrical components
• Typically installs over the terminal block and secures with the existing fastener(s); inspect mounting hardware for wear
• Replace if cracked, melted or if terminals are exposed; ensure cover seats fully before restoring power

This hole cover seals an access/opening in the refrigerator evaporator housing to help maintain proper airflow and prevent moisture or frost from entering the cabinet. A simple replacement that restores the evaporator enclosure's intended seal. What it does:

• Seals an opening in the evaporator housing to reduce air leaks and unwanted moisture entry
• Helps prevent excessive frost or ice buildup near the evaporator area
• Supports consistent cooling by keeping the evaporator cover intact
• Can stop interior water or debris from entering the evaporator cavity

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Remove the evaporator cover or access panel as required to reach the opening
• Press or snap the cover into place until it seats securely; no special tools typically required
• If the cover is brittle or damaged, inspect surrounding mounting surfaces and replace as needed
