Kenmore Refrigerator 596.50004100 (59650004100, 596 50004100) Parts

This drive coupling connects the washer motor to the transmission, transferring power to spin and agitate the tub. Replacing a worn coupling restores proper drivetrain engagement and reduces slipping, grinding, or loss of agitation. What it does:

• Transfers rotational force from the motor to the transmission so the washer can agitate and spin.
• Failsafe for worn motor-to-gearcase connection; a broken coupling commonly causes no-agitate or no-spin symptoms.
• Can produce burning smell, loud grinding, or slipping when deteriorated.
• Helps prevent further damage to the motor or transmission by isolating shock loads.

• Disconnect power and water before starting any repair.
• Basic disassembly of the washer cabinet and access to the motor/transmission area is required.
• Verify correct alignment of tabs/slots during installation to ensure proper engagement.

This replacement bracket secures the refrigerator ice maker assembly so it stays properly positioned for reliable ice production. It restores stable mounting and helps prevent the ice maker from shifting or coming loose. What it does:

• Holds the ice maker assembly in place on the freezer liner or mounting frame
• Keeps the ice maker aligned for proper operation and water fill
• Helps stop vibration or movement that can cause noisy operation or misfeeds
• Useful when the original bracket is bent, broken, or missing

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator and shut off the water supply before starting
• Remove the ice maker to access the bracket mounting screws
• Reuse existing screws if undamaged; tighten to secure but avoid overtightening
• If mounting points or surrounding plastic are damaged, replace or repair before reinstalling

Size: 8-32 x 1/4 inch.

This air block is a small plastic baffle that helps direct and control airflow inside the appliance, maintaining even temperatures between compartments and improving overall cooling performance. What it does:

• Channels or blocks internal air flow to balance temperatures between compartments
• Helps prevent warm or cold spots caused by unrestricted airflow
• Reduces the chance of frost buildup from misdirected airflow
• Works with the appliance's venting system to maintain consistent cooling

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any service
• Handle the plastic part gently to avoid cracking; align tabs/slots before snapping into place
• No special calibration is usually required; verify airflow and temperature after reassembly
