Kenmore Refrigerator 596.50694001 (59650694001, 596 50694001) Parts

This driver coupling connects the dryer motor to the drum and transfers rotational force so the drum spins. Replacing a worn coupling restores reliable drum rotation and helps stop slipping or intermittent drum movement. What it does:

• Transfers torque from the motor to the drum shaft so the drum turns during operation
• Prevents slipping between motor and drum when intact
• Commonly linked to symptoms like a drum that won't turn, intermittent drum movement, or grinding noises
• Helps stop excessive wear on motor or transmission components when replaced promptly

• One driver coupling

• Disconnect power before beginning any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Verify the drum and motor are accessible; you may need to remove the front panel, belt, or motor assembly depending on model
• Inspect the motor shaft and drum shaft for wear; replace any damaged components to prevent repeat failure
• Use proper tools and follow OEM instructions

A locking nut that secures threaded shafts and fasteners to prevent loosening from vibration and regular use. Fits where a small, self-retaining nut is required to keep components firmly attached. What it does:

• Threads onto compatible studs/bolts to lock assemblies in place
• Resists vibration-related loosening for more reliable operation
• Commonly used on appliance control or mechanical linkages
• Small replacement part that restores secure fastening where the original nut is damaged or missing

• One locking nut

• Turn off and unplug the appliance before accessing internal components
• Match nut thread size and type to the stud before installation
• Use appropriate tools and torque; avoid overtightening which can strip threads

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
