Kenmore Dryer 110.97561601 (11097561601, 110 97561601) Parts

This pipe plug seals an unused or service opening in a household appliance's plumbing to stop leaks and prevent debris entry. It restores a watertight closure so the appliance can operate safely and without water loss. What it does:

• Plugs open pipe or hose fittings to prevent water leaks
• Helps maintain proper water flow by sealing unused ports
• Keeps debris and contaminants out of the plumbing system
• Can stop intermittent drips originating from service openings

• One pipe plug

• Turn off water supply and power to the appliance before starting work
• Hand-start threads to avoid cross-threading; tighten only to OEM torque or finger-tight plus a quarter-turn if unspecified
• If the original used sealant or gasket, replace with the same type per OEM instructions

This exhaust pipe directs heated air from the dryer drum to the household vent, restoring proper airflow for efficient drying and reduced lint buildup. It's a direct-fit replacement designed to match the OEM airflow path. What it does:

• Channels dryer exhaust from the appliance to the external vent to maintain proper airflow.
• Helps prevent lint accumulation in the cabinet by providing a sealed exhaust path.
• Can reduce long dry times and overheating caused by restricted or damaged venting.
• Addresses symptoms such as poor drying performance, hot dryer cabinet, or noticeable burning/overheating smells near the dryer vent area.

• One exhaust pipe.

• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) before starting work; the appliance is fully de-energized.
• Wear gloves to avoid sharp edges; remove old pipe and clean vent connections before installing the replacement.
• Secure with appropriate clamps or fasteners and ensure a continuous, unobstructed path to the exterior vent.
• After installation, run a short cycle to check for leaks.
