Kenmore Refrigerator 596.72012011 (59672012011, 596 72012011) Parts

This replacement shaft is the mechanical link that transmits rotation and keeps aligned parts moving together inside your appliance. Replacing a worn or stripped shaft restores smooth, reliable operation of the connected mechanism. What it does:

• Transfers motor or gear torque to the mated component
• Maintains alignment and support within the assembly
• Helps ensure smooth engagement of gears, levers, or augers
• Common symptoms of a failed shaft: connected part won't turn or slips, intermittent operation, grinding/clicking noises, or visible wobble/play at the interface

• 1 shaft

• Disconnect power before servicing; shut off water supply if applicable
• Note the original orientation and take photos to aid reassembly
• Inspect mating gears/bushings for wear and replace if needed to prevent rapid re-failure
• Align any flats/splines and seat the shaft without forcing; tighten fasteners to manufacturer guidance

Ice stripper removes ice cubes from the ice maker mold so the dispenser or storage bin fills properly. Replacing a worn or broken stripper helps the ice maker eject cubes cleanly and reduces ice jams or stuck cubes. What it does:

• Pushes or guides harvested cubes out of the ice mold into the bin during the ice maker's harvest cycle.
• Prevents cubes from sticking in the mold; a damaged stripper can cause incomplete ejection or leftover ice in the mold.
• Works with the ice maker's ejector mechanism to maintain consistent cube release and storage.
• A faulty or broken stripper may lead to noisy operation, partial fills, or visible ice build-up in the mold.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid electrical shock.
• Remove the ice maker or access panel per the manufacturer's instructions to reach the stripper; keep small parts and screws organized.
• Inspect the ice mold and surrounding components for damage or ice build-up; clear ice before installing the new stripper.
• After installation, restore power and run a test harvest cycle to ensure proper cube ejection.
