Kenmore Washer Dryer Combo 110.98618100 (11098618100, 110 98618100) Parts

This factory screw secures appliance panels and components, keeping them properly aligned and quiet during operation. Replace a stripped, corroded, or missing fastener to restore a snug fit and dependable performance in the original mounting location. What it does:

• Fastens brackets, panels, trim, or internal hardware to the cabinet/frame as specified by the manufacturer
• Helps maintain proper alignment and reduce rattling or vibration when a screw is worn or missing
• Direct replacement for damaged, stripped, or rusted hardware
• Used in various locations per the service diagram; match to the original position

• 1 screw

• Disconnect power (and shut off water or gas, if applicable) before servicing.
• Compare length and thread style to the original; install in the same location.
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten until snug—do not overtighten.
• Reinstall any brackets or panels in the correct order.

This replacement console trim panel restores the appliance's front/control appearance and protects internal controls from spills and dust. It helps keep the control area looking finished while maintaining access to buttons and displays. What it does:

• Replaces a cracked, dented, or faded control-area panel to improve appearance
• Protects buttons, switches and the display opening from debris and moisture
• Keeps the control area properly aligned so buttons and indicators operate cleanly
• Useful when the original panel is damaged but internal electronics are intact

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any work
• Remove only the fasteners and trim pieces required to access and replace the panel
• Handle with care to avoid scratching the finished surface during installation

Includes gasket sealer.

A replacement thrust bearing that supports the washer transmission shaft to reduce axial wear and help the gearbox rotate more smoothly. Use this bearing to address noisy transmission operation and reduce metal-on-metal wear when the original is worn. What it does:

• Supports axial load on the transmission/gearcase shaft to reduce friction and wear
• Helps prevent grinding, scraping, or other metal-on-metal noises from the gearbox
• Can reduce rough or noisy spin and improve agitation when a worn bearing is the cause
• Helps maintain proper alignment of transmission components for smoother operation

• Disconnect power and water supply and drain the washer before beginning any work.
• Replacement requires accessing the agitator/gearcase per the OEM service manual and may involve transmission/gearcase disassembly.
• Inspect nearby seals, fasteners and other bearings while servicing; replace damaged parts to avoid premature failure.

This lid latch secures the appliance lid and, on interlock-equipped models, signals that the lid is closed so the cycle can run safely. It restores proper closure and dependable operation when the original latch is worn or broken. What it does

• Latches the lid closed to prevent unintended opening during operation
• Engages the lid switch/lock circuit where used, allowing the cycle to start or continue
• Helps maintain alignment between the lid and strike/keeper for reliable closure
• Common symptoms include: lid won't stay closed, unit won't start or advance, intermittent stopping when the lid is bumped

• 1 lid latch

• Disconnect power before servicing; turn off water supply if applicable
• Access the latch, remove retaining screws/clips, and note orientation for reassembly
• Install the new latch and align it with the lid strike/keeper; reuse original hardware if required
• Close the lid and run a short test to ensure proper engagement and operation

This exhaust vent extension provides extra duct length to move dryer or hood exhaust farther from the appliance, improving airflow routing and helping reduce backpressure and lint buildup in short-vent installations. What it does:

• Extends the length of an existing exhaust duct to reach a distant vent outlet
• Helps restore proper ventilation when original ducting is too short
• Reduces restricted airflow that can cause longer dry times or excess lint accumulation
• Works as an inline rigid/semirigid extension piece for exhaust systems

• Disconnect power (and gas for gas dryers) before accessing or modifying exhaust connections
• Remove lint and debris from ducting before installing the extension to ensure clear airflow
• Securely fasten with appropriate clamps or foil tape and maintain a smooth, unobstructed path

This drain tube funnels and directs excess water away from the appliance to the drain path, helping prevent pooling and water damage. It replaces a worn, cracked or clogged tube to restore proper water flow. What it does:

• Carries water from the appliance's drainage area to the drain outlet
• Helps prevent leaks and interior water buildup from a damaged or disconnected tube
• Can resolve symptoms like water pooling under/behind the appliance or intermittent draining
• Ensures proper routing so water flows to the drain instead of into the cabinet

• One drain tube

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Turn off water supply and remove any panels needed to access the tube
• Inspect and replace any worn clamps or fasteners; ensure tube is routed without kinks
• After installation, restore power/water and run a test cycle to ensure there are no leaks
