Kenmore Refrigerator 106.9642290 (1069642290, 106 9642290) Parts

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.

This shelf stud secures refrigerator shelving in place so shelves stay level and don't shift during normal use. A small replacement part that restores proper shelf support and prevents glass or wire shelves from slipping. What it does

• Anchors and supports a refrigerator shelf or shelf bracket so the shelf sits flush and stable
• Prevents shelf movement, tilting, or sudden drops that can cause spills or broken items
• Works with glass or wire shelves designed for stud-style mounting
• Can eliminate rattle or looseness at the shelf mounting point

• Remove shelves and contents before replacing the stud to avoid injury or damage
• Inspect mating bracket or slot for damage; replace any damaged clips or brackets as needed
• Many studs snap or press into place; if fastened with a screw, use the correct screwdriver and snug firmly (do not overtighten)
• Wear gloves when handling glass shelves and follow appliance manufacturer instructions for safe handling

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 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 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

This screw anchor is a small plastic fastener that secures panels and trim on appliances, preventing screws from stripping or pulling out. It provides a reliable anchor point for screws where threaded material is thin or absent. What it does:

• Creates a secure mounting point for screws in sheet metal, plastic or thin panels
• Helps prevent screw looseness, stripping, and parts that shift or rattle
• Commonly used to hold trim, panels, or interior components in place
• Works with compatible screws to distribute load and stabilize attachments

• Use the correct screw size and length; anchors are made for specific screw diameters—do not force oversize screws
• Align anchor in the prepared hole before driving the screw to avoid cracking the anchor or surrounding material
• Hand-start screws until seated, then tighten gradually—do not overtighten to prevent stripping or damage
• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety procedures before accessing internal panels
