Kenmore Washer 417.29042991 (41729042991, 417 29042991) Parts

This bushing protects the appliance service cord where it passes through the cabinet, reducing wear and preventing chafing that can expose wiring. It's a simple replacement that restores a safe cord entry point. What it does:

• Cushions and centers the service cord at the cabinet opening to prevent abrasion
• Helps keep the cord from rubbing on sharp metal edges that can cause insulation damage
• Reduces risk of shorting, sparking, or intermittent power caused by a worn cord
• Commonly replaced when the existing bushing is cracked, missing, or deformed

• One service cord bushing

• Disconnect power (unplug or switch off breaker) before servicing
• Inspect the cord and surrounding insulation; replace the cord if damage is found
• Push the bushing into the cabinet opening, then route the cord through the bushing until seated
• Reuse only if undamaged; do not force a damaged bushing into place

This replacement top-panel bushing cushions and centers the oven's top panel to reduce noise, wear, and misalignment for a secure fit and smoother operation. It helps restore proper panel seating and reduces rattles or vibration. What it does:

• Positions and supports the top panel where it meets the cabinet
• Dampens vibration to help eliminate rattling or buzzing noises
• Prevents direct metal-on-metal contact that can cause wear or scratching
• Helps maintain correct panel alignment for a flush appearance

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any work.
• Remove the top panel fasteners and lift the panel carefully; sharp edges may be exposed.
• Press the bushing into the panel or support hole until fully seated; confirm alignment before reattaching the panel.
• If the bushing is brittle or deformed, replace it to ensure secure fit and noise control.
