Kenmore Compactor 665.7342905 (6657342905, 665 7342905) Parts

This bearing plate supports the dryer drum shaft and secures the bearing assembly so the drum spins smoothly and stays aligned. Replacing a worn plate restores stable drum rotation and helps reduce noise and rubbing. What it does:

• Provides a mounting surface and alignment for the drum bearing and shaft
• Keeps the drum centered to prevent wobbling, scraping, and uneven wear
• Reduces loud bearing or metal-on-metal noises caused by a damaged plate
• Helps maintain smooth drum rotation and proper belt alignment

• Turn power and gas off to the appliance before starting work
• Inspect surrounding components (bearing, shaft, seals, mounting screws) and replace if damaged
• Use correct fasteners and torque to secure the plate; improper mounting can cause noise or premature wear

This E-ring retaining clip secures latch components by locking onto a shaft or pin so the latch assembly stays in place. It's a small but essential metal clip that prevents latch parts from slipping off and causing door or panel issues. What it does:

• Locks onto latch shafts or pins to hold the latch assembly together
• Prevents the latch or related parts from sliding off during operation
• Common symptoms: door or panel won't stay closed, rattling or loose parts near the latch, visible clip missing or deformed
• Helps restore secure engagement of the latch when the clip is intact and correctly positioned

• One E-ring retaining clip

• Disconnect power or unplug the appliance before beginning any repair
• Use pliers or snap-ring tools to remove/install the clip; avoid excessive force that could deform it
• Replace the clip if it is bent, cracked, or worn — do not reuse a damaged clip

This power cord plate covers and secures the oven/range power cord where it enters the appliance, keeping the connection protected and helping prevent strain on the cord. It restores a finished look and helps keep wiring safely routed. What it does:

• Covers the terminal block area to protect power connections from dirt and accidental contact
• Helps keep the power cord routed and secured to reduce strain on the cord and terminals
• Can prevent air/dust intrusion behind the control cavity that could affect components
• Common replacement when the original plate is cracked, broken, or missing

• Always disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before starting work
• Typically attaches with two screws; keep screws and any gaskets from the old piece for reuse if undamaged
• Check the cord strain relief/terminal connections while replacing the plate; do not touch live terminals
• If wiring or the cord itself is damaged, replace or repair those parts per manufacturer instructions
