Kenmore Dryer 417.81100000 (41781100000, 417 81100000) Parts

This vane screw secures the internal drum baffle (vane) to the drum, keeping loads turning properly and preventing rattles or snags. Replace a missing or stripped screw to restore a tight, stable baffle during cycles.

• Fastens the drum baffle/lifter (vane) to the rotating drum
• Helps maintain proper tumble and load turnover
• Common symptoms: loose or wobbly baffle, rattling or clunking noises, items catching on a raised baffle edge, or a baffle that detaches
• Visual cues: missing screw or stripped/damaged threads at the baffle mounting holes

• Disconnect power before servicing; shut off gas
• Access the baffle from inside the drum; align holes and start the screw by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Tighten firmly but do not overtighten to prevent stripping the drum or cracking the baffle
• Start all screws before final tightening to seat the baffle evenly

This thermistor is the temperature-sensing component that feeds accurate readings to the appliance's control. Replacing a faulty sensor restores proper temperature feedback, helping the control run cycles correctly and reduce temperature-related performance issues. What it does:

• Monitors temperature and changes resistance with temperature (NTC), sending a signal to the control board
• Helps the control regulate heating or water-temperature management during operation
• When open/shorted or out of range, can trigger temperature/sensor error codes
• Symptoms include inconsistent temperatures, long run times, or cycles that won't complete

• 1 thermistor

• Disconnect power before servicing; shut off gas/water supply if applicable
• Access the sensor per your model; it's typically secured by a clip or screw and connects via a wire harness
• Note wire orientation; avoid pulling on wires and ensure the connector is fully seated
• After installation, clear any stored error codes and run a diagnostic or test cycle

Replace a failed thermistor with this factory temperature sensor. It monitors temperature and feeds that data to the control, helping the appliance regulate heat and run cycles correctly. A faulty sensor can cause temperature-related performance issues.

• Senses temperature and sends a resistance signal to the control board for regulation
• Helps maintain proper heating/temperature during operation
• Failure may cause no heat or overheating, erratic or extended cycles, or temperature/sensor error codes
• Replace when sensor is open/shorted or readings are out of range per service diagnostics

• Disconnect power before servicing; if applicable, also shut off water or gas supply
• Access the sensor, unplug the wire connector, and remove any mounting screw/clip
• Install the new sensor; transfer any bracket/seal from the original and route wiring away from hot or moving parts
• Run a diagnostic or test cycle after replacement to confirm normal operation

The Motor Mounting Clamp is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. This clamp secures the motor in place within the dryer, ensuring it operates smoothly and remains stable during the drying cycles. The motor mounting clamp is essential for maintaining the proper alignment and function of the dryer motor.

Over time, the motor mounting clamp can become worn out or damaged due to constant vibration and movement. Accidental impacts or mishandling during maintenance can also cause the clamp to fail, leading to motor misalignment or instability.

Symptoms of a bad motor mounting clamp include:

• Excessive noise or vibration during the drying cycle
• Motor shifting or moving within the dryer
• Reduced drying efficiency
• The dryer not starting or stopping abruptly

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

This metric machine screw features an M5 x 0.8 thread used to secure panels and assemblies inside your appliance. Replacing missing or damaged hardware restores a tight, rattle-free fit and helps maintain proper alignment of parts.

• Fastens appliance components using an M5 x 0.8 machine-thread
• Replaces missing, loose, or stripped screws
• Helps reduce vibration and rattling noises
• Maintains correct alignment of brackets, panels, or internal assemblies

• Disconnect power before servicing; if working near water connections, shut off the supply.
• Match thread and length to the original screw and replace in the same location.
• Start threading by hand to avoid cross-threading; use the correct driver and do not overtighten.
• Reinstall any original washers or lock hardware used with the screw.

This gasket forms a tight seal between mating components in your appliance, helping contain water, air, or heat as designed. Replacing a worn gasket restores proper sealing and helps prevent leaks, performance loss, and residue buildup. What it does:

• Creates a compressible seal between two parts to prevent leakage and maintain proper airflow or water containment
• Helps reduce rattles and wear at the joint by cushioning the connection
• Supports efficiency and consistent performance by keeping the system properly sealed
• Common symptoms of failure: visible cracks/tears or flattening, leakage at the joint, heat or moisture escaping, or persistent odors near the seal

• 1 gasket

• Disconnect power; shut off water supply before servicing
• Note the gasket's orientation and take reference photos during disassembly
• Remove the old gasket and thoroughly clean mating surfaces of residue or debris
• Seat the new gasket evenly without stretching; reassemble and test for a proper seal

The Support Roller Washer is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers, designed to ensure the smooth and stable operation of the dryer drum. Positioned between the support roller and the shaft, this washer plays a critical role in reducing friction and wear, allowing the drum to rotate smoothly and quietly.

Causes of these symptoms often stem from normal wear and tear, which can lead to the degradation of the washer over time.  

Symptoms of a bad Dryer Support Roller Washer include:

• Unusual noises, such as squeaking or grinding, indicating increased friction during drum rotation
• The dryer drum appears to wobble or is misaligned during operation
• Increased vibration of the dryer, which can lead to wear on other components

This OEM Frigidaire part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator and some Kenmore models.

This door switch detects whether the appliance door is open or closed. A working switch lets the machine start when the door is fully shut and stops operation when the door opens for safety.

• Monitors door position and allows the cycle to run only when closed
• Interrupts power to stop operation when the door opens
• Common symptoms of a failing switch: appliance won't start with the door closed, must press/hold the door to run, interior light stuck on/off, or a "door open" message on models with a display

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Access the switch at the door opening/front panel; release mounting screws or locking tabs and remove the switch
• Move wires to the new switch one at a time to maintain correct positions
• After reassembly, test switch operation before running a cycle
