Kenmore Dryer 110.68092701 (11068092701, 110 68092701) Parts

This socket is an electrical connector that secures a wiring plug to an appliance component, restoring reliable contact and reducing intermittent power or component failures caused by a worn or damaged connector. What it does:

• Provides a stable electrical connection between wiring and the appliance component.
• Ensures consistent power transfer to control boards, motors or heating elements.
• A faulty socket can cause intermittent operation, loss of function, arcing, or a component that does not receive power.
• Replacing a corroded or loose socket can eliminate connection-related faults without replacing the whole assembly.

• Always disconnect power (and gas where applicable) before attempting any repair.
• Take a photo or label wires before removing the old socket to ensure correct reassembly.
• Replace only with the exact part; do not force connectors—ensure proper seating and secure fasteners.
• If you see damaged wiring, melted insulation, or signs of arcing, inspect and repair wiring harness.

This water inlet valve assembly controls water flow into the appliance so cycles fill correctly and water-dependent functions work reliably. It replaces a worn or failing valve to restore proper water supply. What it does:

• Opens and closes to allow water into the appliance during fill cycles
• Stops water flow when the cycle or machine commands a shutoff
• Commonly replaced when the appliance won't fill, fills continuously, or leaks at the valve
• Works with the appliance's control system to meter water for proper operation

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before starting any repair
• Handle electrical connectors and tubing carefully; replace damaged gaskets/seals
• Verify correct hose/tube routing and secure fittings to prevent leaks

Replacement 1/4-inch hex flange nut that secures panels, brackets and other appliance hardware. Restores a firm connection to reduce rattling and keep assemblies aligned for reliable operation. What it does:

• Fastens panels, brackets, hinges and small assemblies to maintain proper alignment.
• Prevents loose or vibrating panels that can cause noise or premature wear.
• Replaces missing, stripped or damaged nuts to restore secure mounting.
• Works where a flange provides extra bearing surface to resist loosening.

• Always unplug the appliance or disconnect power before beginning service.
• Use the correct socket or wrench size to avoid rounding the nut; hand-start threads to prevent cross-threading.
• Do not overtighten; tighten until components are seated and secure.
• Replace any damaged mating fasteners or hardware to ensure a reliable repair.

This harness clip secures appliance wiring to the cabinet or components to prevent rubbing, pinching, and interference with moving parts. It keeps wiring routed neatly for reliable operation and reduced risk of abrasion-related failures. What it does:

• Holds wire harnesses in place to prevent chafing against sharp edges or moving parts
• Reduces vibration-related noise and intermittent connections caused by loose wiring
• Helps maintain proper wire routing around panels, motors, and heaters
• Supports safe operation by keeping wires away from heat sources and pinch points

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electric shock
• Remove panels or access covers as needed to reach the original clip location
• Install by snapping or seating the clip into the original mounting point and securing the harness in the retainer; replace any broken mounts
• Inspect surrounding wiring and replace damaged wires or insulation before completing repair

Size: 6 foot long. Washers not included. This is one hose, for a set with washers order 285363. For inlet hose screen use 285452A and for inlet hose washers use 285448A

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 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
