Kenmore Refrigerator 106.9712681 (1069712681, 106 9712681) Parts

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

Replacement mounting screw for refrigerators. Secures panels, trim pieces, and small assemblies. Needed when original screw is missing or damaged.

Seals an access opening in the evaporator housing to maintain proper airflow. Replace if cracked, broken, or missing to restore the enclosure seal.

This machine screw secures appliance panels and components for reliable operation and alignment. A simple replacement that restores proper fit and prevents rattles or loose parts. What it does

• Fastens panels, brackets, or components to restore secure attachment
• Stops squeaks, rattles, or vibration caused by loose fasteners
• Replaces worn, stripped, or missing screws to maintain safety and function
• Matches OEM threading and head style for correct fit when specified

• One machine screw

• Use the correct driver size to avoid stripping the head
• Do not overtighten; stop when snug to prevent damage to threads or parts
• Disconnect power and move the appliance to a safe, stable position before working near electrical components
• Ensure proper torque and consider thread engagement length

This small metal mounting clip secures the thermal fuse in place to maintain proper thermal contact and stable wiring. It helps keep the fuse positioned so the appliance can monitor temperature reliably and operate safely. What it does:

• Secures the thermal fuse to the appliance housing or duct to prevent movement
• Keeps the fuse in correct contact with temperature-sensing surfaces
• Helps prevent intermittent heating or thermal-sensor misreads caused by a loose fuse
• Useful when replacing a damaged or missing fuse retainer during fuse service

• One thermal fuse mounting clip

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Remove access panels per your model's service instructions to reach the fuse location
• Install clip in the same orientation as the original; use pliers if needed to seat it firmly
• Inspect the thermal fuse and wiring while installing; replace any damaged components per OEM guidance

Plastic screw anchors secure panels, trim, and door handles on refrigerators. Replace missing, cracked, or stripped anchors to properly fasten components.

Color: White. Size: 1 qt. can. Acrylic appliance paint.

This white refrigerator door panel replaces a damaged or worn exterior panel to restore a clean, finished look and protect the door frame. It matches the original factory finish for a consistent appearance. What it does:

• Restores the refrigerator door's exterior finish after dents, cracks, or paint damage
• Maintains the door's cosmetic appearance and helps protect internal components
• Helps ensure a proper seal by replacing warped or damaged paneling that interferes with closure
• Used when transferring original trim, handles, and hardware to preserve OEM fit and look

• Safety first: unplug the appliance or shut off power to avoid electrical risk if removing nearby components
• Many installations require transferring the original handle, trim, insulation, and mounting hardware from the old panel
• Keep screws, clips, and fasteners organized; some fasteners are reused rather than replaced

The Alumilastic Cement is an OEM part for Whirlpool appliances, typically used in refrigerators and freezers. It serves as a thermal mastic compound, designed to provide a secure and heat-conductive bond between various components, such as evaporator coils and the interior walls of the appliance. 

Causes of a bad alumilastic cement can include drying out, cracking, or losing its adhesive properties over time. This can occur due to age, exposure to temperature fluctuations, or improper application. When the cement fails, it can lead to poor thermal conductivity and decreased cooling efficiency.

Symptoms of a bad alumilastic cement include:

• Reduced cooling performance
• Unusual noises from the cooling system
• Components becoming loose or detaching
• Increased energy consumption

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