Kenmore Refrigerator 596.58642890 (59658642890, 596 58642890) Parts

This is a replacement machine screw sized 8-18 x 3/8 that secures panels and components on compatible appliances. It restores proper fastening where a worn, stripped, or missing screw causes loose parts or rattling. What it does

• Fastens control panels, trim pieces, or brackets to the appliance chassis
• Replaces stripped, corroded, or missing screws that cause loose panels or vibrating noise
• Provides correct thread engagement for a secure hold in tapped holes
• Small hardware solution often used during door, console, or interior repairs

• One 8-18 x 3/8 machine screw (quantity: 1)

• Use the correct screw size and thread; do not force a different-size fastener into tapped holes
• Hand-start the screw to avoid cross-threading, then tighten with the appropriate screwdriver
• Disconnect power before accessing internal components or panels on electrical appliances
• If metal threads are damaged, repair with a helicoil or replace the damaged component rather than over-torquing

• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety guidelines before servicing

Size: 8-32 x .312 inch.

This replacement screw is a direct-fit fastener used to secure appliance panels and components, restoring proper fit and reducing movement. Ideal when original screws are stripped, missing, or damaged. What it does:

• Secures panels, trim, brackets, and other serviceable components to prevent rattling or misalignment
• Matches original fastener form for correct fit and reliable function
• Helps restore proper clearance and component alignment after repair
• Safe, general-purpose replacement for common appliance fastening needs

• Turn off power and disconnect the appliance before accessing internal components
• Use the correct screwdriver or bit; avoid overtightening to prevent thread or part damage
• Keep hardware and small parts away from children and pets

This 4-terminal thermal overload protects the dryer motor by interrupting power if the motor overheats or draws excessive current. It helps prevent motor damage and stops operation when the motor is stressed. What it does:

• Senses motor over-temperature or excessive current and opens the circuit to stop the motor
• Commonly used when a dryer won't start, shuts off during a cycle, or the motor overheats
• Helps prevent further damage to the motor and related electrical components
• Works as part of the motor protection and safety circuit

• 1 overload (4-terminal thermal protector)

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Replace only with the exact part number or verified equivalent; confirm terminal locations when reinstalling
• Inspect surrounding wiring and motor for damage; replace any damaged components

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

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 small button-style plug fills and finishes an unused hole or access opening on the appliance, restoring a clean appearance and helping keep out dust and moisture. It's a simple cosmetic and protective replacement. What it does:

• Covers and seals unused holes or trim openings to improve appearance
• Helps block dirt, lint, and moisture from entering panels or compartments
• Replaces worn or damaged plugs that no longer seat securely
• Provides a flush, finished look matching appliance trim

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing for safety.
• Typically snaps or presses into place; use a flat tool to carefully remove an old plug if needed.
• Avoid excessive force to prevent damage to surrounding trim or clips.

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.
