Kenmore Dryer 796.80441900 (79680441900, 796 80441900) Parts

The Drum Motor Assembly is an OEM part for LG dryers. It serves as the powerhouse that drives the drum, enabling it to tumble clothes during the drying cycle. This essential component ensures your dryer operates smoothly, providing the necessary torque for consistent and efficient drying performance.

Causes of failure might include wear and tear from prolonged use, overload from trying to dry heavy loads, electrical issues like short circuits, or physical damage to the motor components. 

Symptoms of a bad Drum Motor Assembly include:

• The dryer drum fails to turn, even though the dryer powers on.
• Unusual noises, such as humming or buzzing, indicating the motor is struggling.
• The dryer stops unexpectedly during cycles or won't start at all.
• Decreased drying efficiency or clothes taking longer to dry due to inconsistent drum speed.

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore.

This washer tub assembly is the stationary outer tub that surrounds the spin basket and contains the wash water. Replacing a cracked or damaged tub helps stop leaks and restores proper clearance for smooth, quiet washing and spinning.

• Creates a watertight chamber around the basket to hold wash and rinse water
• Maintains proper basket clearance; damage can cause rubbing or scraping sounds
• Provides connection points for hoses and water-level components
• Common signs it may be needed: leaks from the tub area, visible cracks or warping, persistent out-of-balance/spin errors, or internal scraping/grinding noises

• Disconnect power and water; shut off supplies and safely drain remaining water
• This is a major repair—allow time and consider a second person to help lift/support the tub
• Transfer model-specific parts from the original tub to the new tub as needed; reinstall all clamps, bolts, and sensors securely
• After reassembly, level the washer, and run a test cycle to check for leaks

This generator assembly senses motor rotation and provides the control board with speed/position feedback so the washer can time cycles and spin properly. It replaces a worn or damaged sensor assembly to restore reliable cycle control. What it does:

• Detects motor rotation and sends position/speed signals to the washer control board
• Helps the machine maintain correct spin speeds and cycle timing
• Can address symptoms like no spin, erratic spinning, or motor-related error codes when the generator fails
• Works with the motor/mounting components to ensure accurate feedback for drive operations

• One generator assembly

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Requires basic tools and access to the washer's motor area; handle connectors and sensor surfaces carefully
• Reuse or replace any mounting hardware only if specified by the manufacturer
