Kenmore Dryer 110.68082701 (11068082701, 110 68082701) Parts

This housing slot heater melts ice and prevents frost buildup inside the appliance housing, helping restore normal airflow and component operation. It's a direct replacement heater element used where ice forms around the housing slot. What it does:

• Provides targeted heat to the housing slot to reduce ice accumulation
• Helps restore proper airflow and circulation by clearing frost/ice blockages
• Commonly replaced when the housing develops repeated ice buildup or intermittent heating
• Works as part of the defrost/anti-ice system to protect internal components

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical shock
• Access typically requires removing exterior panels or trim; keep fasteners organized
• Handle the heater element and wiring with care to avoid damage to the element or connector

This valve hose assembly routes water from the inlet valve to the dispenser/ice/water system, restoring proper water flow and preventing leaks when the original hose is damaged. Designed to match OEM fit and function. What it does:

• Transfers water from the inlet/valve to the dispenser or ice/water components
• Replaces cracked, split, or collapsed hose that can cause leaks
• Helps restore normal water flow when dispenser or ice maker filling is slow or intermittent
• Reduces risk of water damage from deteriorated or brittle tubing

• One valve hose assembly

• Turn off water supply and unplug the appliance before starting work
• Inspect connection fittings for wear; use proper clamps or replacement fittings as needed
• Tighten connections to prevent leaks but avoid over-torquing plastic fittings

This self-drilling screw secures appliance panels and components where a fastener must cut its own pilot hole. It provides a quick, reliable hold for repair or reassembly of trim, brackets, and internal fixtures. What it does:

• Fastens panels, brackets, and small components without pre-drilling
• Helps stop loose or rattling trim and parts caused by missing or worn screws
• Restores proper alignment and secure mounting after repairs
• Works where sheet metal or thin substrates require self-tapping engagement

• One self-drilling screw

• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety procedures before starting repairs
• Use the correct size driver and steady pressure to avoid stripping the head
• Start straight and apply firm, even torque; avoid overtightening which can damage mounting surfaces
• Wear eye protection and handle small fasteners carefully to avoid loss or ingestion hazards

This is a replacement mounting nut that secures appliance components and helps keep panels, assemblies and fasteners tight for stable operation. A simple, OEM-fit nut for repair or maintenance. What it does

• Fastens and secures assemblies, brackets or panels to prevent loosening during use
• Helps reduce vibration and rattling caused by loose hardware
• Restores proper component alignment when a stripped or missing nut causes movement
• Fits in the same location and function as the original factory nut

• Inspect the mating bolt/stud and threads; replace damaged hardware before installing the nut
• Tighten to the appliance manufacturer's specified torque where available; avoid over-tightening
• Use hand tools appropriate for the nut size to prevent rounding the hex
• Disconnect power or follow manufacturer safety instructions before servicing electrical appliances

This coupler connects the washer motor to the gearcase so the motor can turn the transmission and drive the washer's agitator and spin functions. Replacing a worn coupler restores reliable power transfer and normal wash cycles. What it does:

• Transfers torque from the motor to the gearcase so the washer agitates and spins
• Dampens shock between motor and transmission during load changes
• Worn or broken couplers can cause no-agitate/no-spin, slipping, or loud grinding noises
• Prevents direct metal-to-metal contact that can damage motor or gearcase

• Disconnect power and water supply before starting any repair
• Support the tub or transmission per the OEM instructions before removing the old coupler
• Inspect motor shaft and gearcase input for damage; replace additional parts if scored or worn
• Use basic hand tools; follow OEM diagram for proper alignment and secure fit

Dryer Vent Test Kit ensures your dryer's vent system is operating properly. Kit includes two tests depending on the location of your dryer's lint screen: One for the lint screen in the top of your dryer, and one for the lint screen in the front of your dryer. Instructions included.

This drum baffle restores proper fabric tumbling and gentle movement inside the dryer drum for more even drying and fewer snags. It fits the drum to help lift and separate items during the cycle. What it does:

• Lifts and guides clothes as the drum rotates to promote consistent tumbling
• Reduces fabric bunching and helps improve air exposure for more even drying
• Prevents garments from riding on the drum seam and reduces rubbing/snags
• Can stop or reduce thumping or uneven tumbling when a worn baffle is the cause

• One drum baffle

• Disconnect power before beginning work
• Installation typically requires opening the dryer's front or top panel and rotating/removing the drum—follow your model's service manual
• Keep track of fasteners and note baffle orientation; replace any damaged clips or screws
• Wear gloves and eye protection; watch for sharp edges and pinch points during reassembly

A small replacement retainer clip that secures interior panels and trim to restore proper fit and reduce vibration or rattling. Fits where a molded or snap-in fastener has worn or broken. What it does

• Secures panels, trim pieces, or wiring harnesses so parts sit flush and stable.
• Prevents rattling and vibration caused by loose or missing fasteners.
• Helps keep seals and gaskets aligned by holding adjacent trim in place.
• Common symptom: loose trim, gaps, or intermittent rattling sound during operation.

• The clip shown.

• Disconnect power (unplug appliance or turn off breaker) before servicing.
• Access the clip location by removing the appropriate trim or panel.
• Clip typically snaps into a mounting hole or slot; align and press until it seats securely.
• Use basic hand tools as needed; wear gloves and eye protection to avoid injury from sharp edges.
