Kenmore Refrigerator 596.72283200 (59672283200, 596 72283200) Parts

This axle roller is the replacement support shaft that lets the appliance's rotating assembly turn smoothly and quietly. Installing a new axle roller corrects wobble and reduces grinding or squealing caused by a worn shaft. What it does:

• Supports the rotating drum or rack so it spins freely and stays aligned
• Helps prevent metal-to-metal contact that causes loud noise or scraping
• Stops uneven rotation and vibration that can lead to further wear
• Restores smooth operation when an original axle is bent, worn, or broken

• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) before starting any repair
• Access location and removal steps vary by model; follow the OEM service manual or diagram
• Inspect related parts (pulleys, idler, glides, bearings) and replace if they show wear
• Use basic hand tools; keep fingers and loose clothing clear of moving parts during testing

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.

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Access the fan motor area (rear of unit or inside the freezer, depending on model) and support the motor
• Remove mounting hardware and seat the new grommet fully in the bracket/mount
• The fan blade spins freely with even clearance before reassembling and restoring power

This drain tube gasket seals the connection between the drain tube and its mating port to prevent leaks. A tight seal helps keep water where it belongs and protects surrounding components from moisture damage.

• Creates a watertight seal at the drain tube connection point
• Can help address water leaks around the drain area
• Deterioration, cracking, or hardening of the old gasket may cause seepage
• Replacing a worn gasket can restore proper leak prevention

• Unplug the appliance and shut off water supply before service
• Place a towel or pan to catch residual water when disconnecting the tube
• Inspect the tube and mating surfaces; clean before installing the new gasket
• Do not overtighten fittings; verify a snug, even seal and check for leaks on first run

This thermostat retainer clip secures the defrost thermostat to the evaporator tubing in your refrigerator or freezer, maintaining firm contact for accurate temperature sensing and dependable defrost operation.

• Holds the thermostat firmly against the evaporator line for proper temperature feedback
• Helps prevent a loose or dangling thermostat that contribute to frost buildup and poor defrost performance
• Restores correct mounting when the original clip is cracked, bent, or missing
• Common signs include a broken clip or a thermostat not attached to the coil

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access the evaporator compartment; remove accumulated frost/ice as needed without prying on coil fins
• Position the thermostat body flat against the tubing and snap the retainer over it, avoiding pinched wires or damaged fins
• Confirm a secure fit and proper wire routing before reassembling and restoring power

Replacement drawer slide that restores smooth, secure opening and closing of a refrigerator or freezer drawer. Use this exact-fit glide to address sticking, sagging, noisy, or misaligned drawer movement and regain easy access. What it does:
