Kenmore Refrigerator 596.95508500 (59695508500, 596 95508500) Parts

This drier is the factory replacement air/gas flow assembly that helps maintain proper airflow and drying performance in compatible laundry dryers. Replacing a worn drier restores consistent drying and reduces overheating risk. What it does:

• Directs and stabilizes heated air through the drum for efficient drying
• Helps prevent restricted airflow that can cause long dry times or damp laundry
• Supports safe exhaust flow to reduce the chance of overheating or lint buildup
• Works with the dryer's heating and ventilation components to maintain normal operation

• One drier assembly as shown

• Disconnect electrical power before beginning service; if this is a gas dryer, turn off and disconnect the gas supply
• Follow the dryer manufacturer's service manual for disassembly and reassembly steps
• Use appropriate hand tools and avoid forcing parts; inspect venting and lint traps while replacing

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 genuine replacement screw secures panels and components so your appliance stays stable and trim pieces fit properly. It's a simple, exact-fit fastener intended to replace a missing or damaged mounting screw. What it does:

• Fastens panels, trim, control housings or brackets to the appliance frame
• Restores secure fit when a screw is missing, stripped, or corroded
• Helps eliminate rattling or loose panels caused by a missing fastener
• Matches OEM thread and head style for correct seating and torque

• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head
• Do not overtighten; snug until parts are firmly seated
• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety guidelines before servicing

This defrost thermostat helps control the refrigerator/freezer defrost cycle by sensing evaporator temperature and allowing the heater to run when frost removal is needed. Replaces a failed thermostat to restore normal defrost operation. What it does:

• Closes when the evaporator is cold so the defrost heater can run, then opens when the coil warms to stop defrosting
• Helps prevent excessive frost and ice buildup on the evaporator coil
• Common symptom: visible frost or ice on evaporator, excessive frost buildup, or defrost heater running constantly/ not at all
• Works with the defrost system to maintain efficient cooling performance

• One defrost thermostat

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Mount on or near the evaporator coil as originally installed; secure wiring away from moving parts
• Inspect the harness and connector for damage; replace if corroded or brittle
• Test for continuity with a multimeter to confirm thermostat function before and after installation

Size: 8-32 x .312 inch.

This screw secures appliance panels and components to keep assemblies stable and aligned during normal use. It's a direct-fit fastener used where the factory requires a specific screw shape and thread. What it does:

• Fastens trim, panels, brackets, or internal components to the cabinet or frame
• Restores secure mounting when original fasteners are missing or stripped
• Helps eliminate rattling, vibration, or loose parts caused by a missing screw
• Matches OEM fit and fastening points for correct assembly

• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head
• Tighten until snug; avoid over-torquing which can strip threads or crack plastic
• Replace only the damaged or missing screw; confirm orientation and thread engagement before final tightening
• Disconnect power and follow all safety precautions before servicing appliances

A small replacement closure shim that helps align and secure a closure/trim piece on select appliances, restoring proper fit and reducing rattles, rubbing, or gaps for quieter, more reliable operation. What it does:

• Positions and supports the closure/trim so panels and doors close evenly.
• Helps stop rubbing, misalignment, or minor gaps that can cause noise or poor sealing.
• Serves as a non-electrical spacer/aligner where the original shim has worn or broken.
• Useful when cosmetic trimming or closure pieces feel loose or shift during use.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair or accessing panels.
• Access location may require removing the related trim, panel, or door—refer to the appliance diagram or service manual.
• Handle small plastic parts carefully; align the shim before fastening to avoid breakage.

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

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
