Kenmore Washer Dryer Combo 417.99170120 (41799170120, 417 99170120) Parts

This replacement heater assembly restores proper heat output in your appliance. It delivers the thermal energy needed for normal operation so your unit can reach and maintain the correct temperature and complete cycles as designed.

• Generates heat for the appliance's heating/drying/defrost function (as applicable to your model)
• Helps the unit reach and maintain target temperature for proper performance
• Common failure signs: no heat or weak heat; cycles take too long or do not complete
• May trigger heating-related error/fault codes; visible breaks or hot spots on the element; tripped breaker from a short to ground

• Disconnect electrical power before servicing; allow hot components to cool
• Wear cut-resistant gloves; internal panels and chassis edges can be sharp
• Document wire routing and mounting positions before removal; route wiring exactly as original
• After installation, ensure secure connections and clearance from metal surfaces; run a brief test cycle to verify operation

The blower housing assembly encloses the blower wheel and channels air through the unit's coils. Replacing a cracked or warped housing helps restore smooth airflow and reduce blower noise caused by rubbing or misalignment.

• Directs and focuses airflow through the heat-exchange coils for proper operation
• Supports and aligns the blower wheel so it spins with correct clearance
• Helps minimize vibration and noise when the housing is intact
• Symptoms of a failed housing may include scraping or rattling noises, weak airflow, vibration, or visible cracks/broken mounts around the blower area

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves and eye protection.
• Remove the front panel/cabinet to access the blower section; note screw and clip locations.
• Transfer the blower wheel, seals, and any reusable hardware from the old housing.
• Before reassembly, spin the blower wheel by hand to ensure free, rub-free rotation.

This replacement timer knob mounts to the control timer shaft, allowing you to select cycles and settings with a positive, secure feel. Replacing a cracked or stripped knob restores smooth, accurate control of the timer.

• Attaches to the timer shaft so you can rotate and set the desired cycle
• Restores function when the original knob is cracked, loose, or stripped
• Helps resolve issues like the knob spinning freely, wobbling, or falling off
• Provides firm, reliable engagement for precise timer adjustments

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Pull the old knob straight off the timer shaft; retain and transfer any inner spring clip if present
• Align the new knob with the flat side or splines of the shaft and press on until fully seated
• Support the control panel during removal/installation and avoid excessive force

This heater baffle mounts near the heating element to deflect and distribute radiant heat. It helps protect nearby surfaces and wiring while promoting more even temperatures and reliable performance inside the appliance.

• Directs and diffuses heat from the element to reduce hot spots
• Acts as a heat shield to protect the liner and adjacent components from direct radiant heat
• Helps maintain proper clearance and airflow around the element
• Damage or a missing baffle can lead to uneven temperatures, localized discoloration/scorching, or a burning smell

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance; allow it to cool completely
• Access the heater area; remove the screws or clips securing the existing baffle and retain the hardware
• Position the new baffle in the same orientation; ensure it does not contact the heating element
• Restore power and test operation

Evaporator insulator that surrounds the evaporator assembly to reduce heat transfer and help limit frost buildup. Replacing damaged insulation helps maintain consistent temperatures and prevents excess moisture inside the freezer or refrigerator. What it does:

• Insulates and protects the evaporator area — common signs: visible frost or ice buildup and inconsistent cooling.
• Helps reduce vibration-related noise from evaporator components — common sign: rattling or buzzing.
• Prevents cold-air leakage into cabinet walls to support efficient cooling — common sign: warm spots or extended run times.
• Restores proper airflow pathways around the evaporator to help the system cycle normally.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair.
• Access may require removal of interior panels or the evaporator cover; follow OEM service instructions.
• Handle the insulation gently to avoid tearing or compressing it; use only manufacturer-recommended adhesives or fasteners if needed.

This is a suspension spring for select washers. It supports and stabilizes the wash tub during spin and agitation to reduce vibration and noise, helping the machine run smoothly.

• Supports the tub within the cabinet to control movement
• Helps reduce excessive vibration, banging, or walking during spin
• Addresses symptoms like out-of-balance loads, noise, or shaking
• Loss of tension, stretching, or breakage can require replacement

• Unplug the washer and shut off water supply before repair
• Access typically requires removing the top or front panel; support the tub to relieve spring tension
• Wear gloves and eye protection; springs are under tension
• Replace any damaged or missing suspension components in pairs or as required.

This retaining ring secures a shaft or component in-place to prevent axial movement and wear, restoring proper alignment and reducing noise or wobble. It's a small, durable replacement part for assemblies that use a snap-style ring. What it does:

• Holds shafts, bearings or components axially in their mating grooves to prevent shifting.
• Stops rattling, grinding, or excessive play caused by a worn or missing ring.
• Keeps assemblies aligned to reduce premature wear on surrounding parts.
• Provides a simple replacement solution when the original ring is bent, broken, or lost.

• Disconnect power and/or water and remove any panels needed before starting work.
• Use snap-ring pliers or the manufacturer-recommended tool to safely remove and install the ring.
• Inspect grooves and mating surfaces for damage or debris and clean before installing the new ring.
• Wear eye protection and keep fingers clear—snap rings can spring out during removal or installation.

This strike screw secures the door strike/catch to the appliance, keeping the latch aligned so the door closes firmly and any safety interlock engages. Replacing a missing, stripped, or corroded screw helps restore reliable, consistent door latching. What it does:

• Fastens the strike/catch to the door or cabinet
• Maintains proper alignment for positive latch engagement
• Helps address issues like door not latching, loose/rattling door, or intermittent door switch activation
• Replace if threads are stripped, the head is damaged, or the screw is missing

• 1 strike screw

• Disconnect power before servicing; allow hot surfaces to cool. For gas appliances, also shut off the gas supply.
• Support the door or strike and remove the damaged/missing fastener.
• Start the new screw by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly without overtightening.
• Verify door alignment and latch/lock operation after installation.

This factory replacement screw secures panels, brackets, or trim on your appliance so parts stay tight and aligned. Swap in a new screw when one is missing or stripped to restore a solid, rattle-free fit.
