Kenmore Refrigerator 596.79549011 (59679549011, 596 79549011) Parts

The door hinge is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It plays a role in holding the refrigerator door securely in place while allowing it to swing freely for easy access. The hinge is designed to withstand the pressure of opening and closing the door smoothly over many years of use.

Causes of a bad hinge include wear and tear from repeated opening and closing of the door, exposure to excessive force or impact, or overloading of the door with heavy items.

Symptoms of a bad hinge include:

• The door not closing properly or unevenly
• Increased effort required to open or close the door
• Noises or squeaking coming from the hinge area
• The door leaning or not staying securely closed

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

This blower wheel moves air through the appliance's ventilation system so clothes dry evenly and components stay cool. It restores proper airflow to improve drying performance and reduce overheating risk. What it does:

• Spins to circulate air through the drum and exhaust vent for efficient drying
• Replaces a damaged or broken wheel that can cause reduced airflow and long dry times
• Stops abnormal noises from a cracked or out-of-balance impeller
• Helps prevent overheating caused by restricted or insufficient airflow

• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) before beginning any repair
• Inspect the mounting shaft, housing, and fasteners; replace any damaged hardware
• Ensure correct wheel orientation and secure fit to avoid vibration or rubbing

This wire harness assembly routes power and signals between a range of appliance control and its components, restoring reliable electrical connections for proper operation. It replaces a damaged or worn harness to help eliminate intermittent or failed component function. What it does:

• Carries power and control signals between the control board and components
• Restores lost or intermittent electrical connections that can cause components to stop working
• Common symptom fixes: intermittent operation, components not powering on, or error conditions related to wiring
• Used where multiple connector plugs and bundled wires are required for safe operation

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before starting any repair
• Route harness along original wire paths and secure with existing clips or fasteners
• Match connector shapes and colors; ensure connectors are fully seated and latched

This evaporator clip secures the refrigerator evaporator assembly and related components so the cooling system stays aligned and vibration-free. It helps maintain proper airflow and prevents rubbing or loose parts. What it does:

• Holds the evaporator coil/assembly or associated covers in place
• Prevents vibration, noise, and contact between the coil and cabinet parts
• Helps maintain consistent airflow for reliable cooling performance
• Commonly linked to rattling, buzzing, or loose parts around the freezer evaporator

• Disconnect power before servicing the appliance
• Handle evaporator and surrounding fins carefully; they are sharp and fragile
• Verify clip orientation against the OEM diagram before fastening
