Kenmore Dryer 417.97042700 (41797042700, 417 97042700) Parts

This white replacement plug fills and finishes an unused opening on the appliance, helping keep out dust and debris while restoring a clean, factory appearance. Use it where a small trim or access hole needs a discreet cover. What it does:

• Covers unused holes or access slots to protect internal components from dust and moisture
• Restores a finished, factory look to trim panels or consoles
• Helps prevent small items from falling into openings
• Simple, low-profile piece that stays recessed and unobtrusive

• No power required; work with the appliance unplugged or power turned off as a safety precaution when accessing trim
• Push the plug into the opening until it seats flush; a gentle push with a finger or soft tool is usually sufficient
• If removal is needed later, gently pry with a flat, non-marring tool to avoid scratching surrounding surfaces
