Kenmore Refrigerator 596.50392001 (59650392001, 596 50392001) Parts

A small replacement closure shim that helps align and secure a closure/trim piece on select appliances, restoring proper fit and reducing rattles, rubbing, or gaps for quieter, more reliable operation. What it does:

• Positions and supports the closure/trim so panels and doors close evenly.
• Helps stop rubbing, misalignment, or minor gaps that can cause noise or poor sealing.
• Serves as a non-electrical spacer/aligner where the original shim has worn or broken.
• Useful when cosmetic trimming or closure pieces feel loose or shift during use.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair or accessing panels.
• Access location may require removing the related trim, panel, or door—refer to the appliance diagram or service manual.
• Handle small plastic parts carefully; align the shim before fastening to avoid breakage.

Color: white. Measures about 38 inches wide by 4 inches high.

This evaporator fan blade is the rotating plastic impeller that moves cold air from the evaporator across the freezer and refrigerator compartments, restoring proper airflow for even cooling. What it does:

• Circulates air over the evaporator coil so cooled air is distributed through the appliance
• Helps maintain even temperatures throughout the fridge and freezer sections
• Worn or damaged blades can cause reduced airflow, weak cooling, or abnormal fan noise
• Replacing the blade can restore normal airflow when the motor and housing are otherwise functional

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical shock
• Access typically requires removing the evaporator cover in the freezer compartment
• Inspect the motor shaft and blade hub for damage and ensure the blade seats securely on the motor
• If fan noise or continued airflow problems persist after installation, verify the evaporator fan motor and mounting components

This left-side freezer glide helps the freezer drawer slide smoothly and stay aligned, restoring proper drawer movement and preventing binding or sagging. Fits the freezer drawer track and supports normal opening and closing. What it does:

• Guides and supports the freezer drawer on the left side for smooth travel
• Keeps the drawer aligned to prevent scraping, sticking, or uneven movement
• Reduces chatter and wear on the drawer and track from improper seating
• Common symptom: drawer sticks, drags, or drops on one side when opening

• One left-side freezer glide

• Disconnect power before working on the appliance and remove food from the drawer area
• Remove the freezer drawer per the manual to access and replace the glide
• Use basic hand tools as required; avoid forcing parts to prevent breakage

This replacement screw fastens internal components and panels so parts stay secure and quiet. It's a direct-fit fastener used where the original mounting screw is missing or damaged to restore proper assembly. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets or components to prevent movement and vibration
• Restores proper alignment for covers and access panels
• Stops rattling or loose-fitting parts caused by a missing or stripped screw
• Works as the factory-specified fastener for the original mounting point

• The screw location and type before installing; use the original hole and thread
• Power off and disconnect the appliance before accessing internal components
• Start the screw by hand to avoid cross-threading, then snug with the appropriate screwdriver
• Do not overtighten — stop once the part is secure to avoid stripping or cracking

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 metal bottom hinge shim helps level and align the appliance door by providing a thin, durable spacer under the bottom hinge. Proper shimming restores correct door fit and reduces rubbing or uneven gaps for reliable sealing. What it does:

• Adds precise spacing under the bottom hinge to correct door height and tilt
• Helps stop door rubbing, binding, or uneven gaps that can affect sealing
• Restores proper door alignment so the latch and seals engage correctly
• Durable metal construction resists compression for long-lasting support

• Disconnect power and empty or support the door before working on hinges to avoid injury or damage.
• Support the door while removing hinge fasteners; small shims are installed under the hinge plate.
• Use the correct size fasteners and torque per the manufacturer; replace damaged hardware as needed.

This timer mounting bracket secures the appliance timer assembly to the cabinet so the timer stays aligned and stable during operation. Replaces a worn or broken bracket to restore proper timer support and reduce vibration. What it does:

• Holds the timer/timer motor firmly in place on the control panel or chassis
• Prevents the timer from shifting or rattling during cycles
• Helps maintain proper gear alignment for accurate cycle timing
• Commonly replaced when bracket is bent, cracked, or missing mounting studs

• One timer mounting bracket

• Basic hand tools required; disconnect power before beginning repair
• Inspect related fasteners and the timer housing for additional damage
• Handle the timer assembly carefully to avoid damaging wiring or connectors
