Kenmore Refrigerator 596.65964700 (59665964700, 596 65964700) Parts

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 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

• Restores proper mounting surfaces and clearances for panels, controls, and internal assemblies
• Helps reduce rattling or vibration caused by a compromised cabinet
• Prevents exposure of internal wiring and components to contaminants
