Kenmore Washer Dryer Combo 417.9968020 (4179968020, 417 9968020) Parts

This replacement bolt secures internal components in your appliance. A stripped, rusted, or missing bolt can let parts loosen and vibrate; installing a new bolt restores a tight, stable connection for reliable operation.

• Provides a secure, threaded fastener for brackets, weights, or assemblies
• Helps maintain alignment and reduce movement during operation
• Typical issues: missing hardware, stripped threads, or visible corrosion
• Helps address rattling or excessive vibration caused by loose hardware

• Safety first: Disconnect power; for water- or gas-connected units, shut off supplies
• Support the component being secured before removing the old fastener
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten evenly to manufacturer guidance—do not overtighten
• Reuse original washers/spacers and thread locker only if they were originally present

This is a short coil spring that connects the outer wash tub to the washer cabinet, helping absorb vibration and support the tub during spin cycles. It works alongside other suspension springs to keep the tub balanced and reduce excessive movement. Replace this spring if the washer shakes or bangs excessively during spin, the tub hangs unevenly, or you notice a broken or stretched spring during inspection.

This is a small spring that attaches to the lid of a laundry center washer, providing tension to hold the lid in position. It helps the lid stay open during loading and close securely during operation. Replace this spring if your washer lid won't stay open, slams shut on its own, or the original spring is broken or stretched out.

Secures the door strike to your washer, keeping the latch aligned for firm closure. Replace if missing, stripped, or corroded to restore reliable latching.

This is a heat shield insulator that mounts on the inner side of the dryer door in a stacked laundry center or washer/dryer combo unit. It prevents excessive heat from transferring through the door during drying cycles, protecting the outer door surface and improving energy efficiency. Replace this insulation if it is torn, deteriorated, or missing, which can cause the door to become excessively hot to the touch or reduce drying performance.

Secures panels, brackets, and trim on appliances. Replace when missing, stripped, or damaged to restore a tight, rattle-free fit and proper alignment.

Pressure tube connects washer tub to water level switch. Replace if cracked, kinked, or clogged to restore proper water level sensing in your laundry center.
