Kenmore Refrigerator 596.51673100 (59651673100, 596 51673100) 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 small plastic waterline clip secures the refrigerator/dishwasher water tube to the cabinet or frame to keep the line routed and stable. It prevents the waterline from shifting or rubbing against components. What it does:

• Holds the water supply tube in place to prevent chafing and movement
• Helps keep the waterline aligned so fittings stay seated and leak risk is reduced
• Stops rattling or vibration noise caused by loose tubing
• Commonly used where the waterline passes through panels or along the appliance frame

• One waterline clip

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Typically snaps onto a flange or frame and the tubing pushes into the clip—no special tools required
• Inspect tubing and fittings for damage when replacing the clip; replace any compromised tubing or seals
• If access is limited, remove the necessary trim or panel per your model's service instructions

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.

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

Compression nut for 5/16" plastic water line.
