Kenmore Dryer 110.97589110 (11097589110, 110 97589110) Parts

The lid switch lever connects the washer's lid hinge to the lid switch, signaling when the lid is closed so the cycle can run. A damaged lever can prevent the safety interlock from closing, leading to no-start or spin issues. What it does:

• Transfers lid movement at the hinge to the lid switch actuator
• A closed lid so the washer can operate
• Common symptoms of a failed lever: washer won't start; won't spin; cycle pauses because the lid-closed signal isn't detected

• 1 lid switch lever

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Lift or open the top to access the hinge/switch area; locate the lever near the lid switch
• Remove the old lever and install the new one in the same orientation; free movement
• Close the lid by hand and the switch clicks before reassembly and testing

This dryer blower cover encloses the blower wheel and seals the housing so air moves efficiently from the lint screen to the exhaust. Replacing a cracked or missing cover restores airflow for consistent drying performance and helps keep lint contained.

• Covers the blower wheel and seals the blower housing
• Directs air from the lint screen through the exhaust duct
• Helps maintain proper airflow and drying performance
• Damage or gaps may cause reduced airflow, longer dry times, vibration/noise, or lint leaking inside the cabinet

• Unplug dryer and let components cool before servicing
• Access the blower housing; front or rear access varies by model
• Clean lint from housing and ducts; inspect the blower wheel and any gasket/seal
• Seat cover squarely and tighten fasteners evenly; verify the blower turns freely and no air leaks are present

For mating terminal use WP94614.

This motor connector housing is the molded body that holds the motor's wire terminals for a secure, insulated connection. Replacing a cracked or heat-damaged housing helps restore reliable motor operation and prevent intermittent power issues.

• Organizes and insulates the motor's wiring terminals
• Locks the harness to the motor for a firm electrical connection
• Helps reduce loose contacts, arcing, and heat damage at the plug
• If the housing is failing, you may see intermittent or no motor operation, the machine stopping mid-cycle, or visible melting/discoloration at the motor connector

• Disconnect power; also shut off gas supply
• Note wire positions; transfer terminals into the new housing one at a time to maintain orientation
• Inspect terminals and wiring; replace any burnt or loose terminals before reassembly
• Ensure the connector seats fully on the motor and the harness is secure; restore power and test

3-cycle mechanical timer that controls the sequence and timing of wash cycles, restoring proper cycle advancement and operation for washers that won't advance or complete cycles. Fits in the original timer location to re-establish cycle control. What it does:

• Rotates the cam to advance cycle stages and routes power to the motor, pump and valves.
• Restores cycle sequencing when a machine stops mid-cycle or won't advance to the next step.
• Replaces worn or non-indexing timers that cause intermittent or no cycle movement.
• Transfers timed electrical signals to start/stop agitation, spin and drain functions.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting — risk of electrical shock.
• Document or photograph all wire locations before disconnecting to ensure correct reconnection.
• Install in the original orientation; secure mounting hardware and avoid forcing gears or tabs.
• After installation, run a complete cycle to ensure proper operation.

This precision-drilled burner orifice is sized for Type 4 butane applications. It meters gas to the burner so flames ignite reliably and burn cleanly when the appliance is configured for butane per the manufacturer's specifications. What it does:

• Regulates gas flow to the burner head for proper flame size and shape
• Type 4 drilling intended for butane gas configurations specified by the manufacturer
• Replaces a missing or stripped orifice during service or gas-type conversion

• 1 burner orifice (Type 4, butane)

• Shut off gas supply and power; allow the appliance to cool before service
• Access the orifice at the burner base/manifold; remove the original with the correct wrench or socket
• Start threads by hand; tighten snugly—avoid overtightening or cross-threading
• After reassembly, leak-check with soapy water and verify flame; gas conversions should be performed following OEM instructions and local codes

Replacement dryer drum that holds and tumbles laundry so air circulates evenly for efficient drying. Restores a smooth rotating drum surface to prevent fabric damage and improve drying performance. What it does:

• Houses and tumbles clothes while allowing heated air to pass through the load.
• Replaces a dented, cracked or scored drum that can catch or abrade fabric.
• Stops metal-on-metal scraping or grinding noises caused by a damaged drum surface.
• Helps eliminate uneven drying caused by a misshapen or warped drum.

• One replacement drum.

• Disconnect power (and gas supply for gas models) before starting any repair.
• Drum removal usually requires loosening the front panel and supporting the drum; consider a second person—the drum is heavy and awkward.
• Inspect and replace related components if worn to prevent repeat failures.
• Test-run the dryer after installation to ensure smooth rotation and proper clearance.

This exhaust cover plate protects and finishes the dryer's exhaust outlet, helping direct airflow and keeping the vent opening sealed from debris. It provides a clean, durable surface where the exhaust connects to the dryer cabinet. What it does:

• Covers and seals the dryer exhaust opening to prevent dust and lint buildup around the vent
• Helps direct exhaust airflow into the duct for proper ventilation
• Restores a finished appearance to the exhaust area after repair or replacement
• Can reduce drafts and discourage pests entering through the vent opening

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any work.
• Use basic hand tools; handle edges carefully to avoid cuts.
• Verify proper alignment with the exhaust opening and secure with the original screws or hardware.
• Inspect the exhaust duct and surrounding seals for wear.

This motor mounting bracket secures the appliance motor to the cabinet, keeping the motor steady for reliable operation and reduced vibration. It's a direct-fit replacement designed to restore proper motor alignment and support. What it does:

• Holds the motor in the correct position to prevent movement during operation
• Reduces motor vibration and noise caused by loose or damaged mounting
• Helps maintain proper belt alignment and drivetrain performance
• Supports safe, stable motor operation under normal load conditions

• One motor mounting bracket

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Basic mechanical skills and common hand tools are usually required
• Inspect mounting hardware and adjacent components; replace any worn fasteners

This is a replacement side trim screw that secures the refrigerator side trim/finish panel, restoring a snug fit and finished appearance. Designed to match the original factory fit and finish on compatible Whirlpool units. What it does:

• Fastens the side trim/finish panel so the exterior trim sits flush and secure
• Helps stop rattling, shifting, or gaps caused by loose or missing trim screws
• Matches factory color and head style to keep a consistent exterior look
• Small hardware piece used in multiple trim/assembly locations
