Kenmore Dryer 796.81728010 (79681728010, 796 81728010) Parts

This is the drum tub assembly for front-load washers — the rotating wash drum and surrounding tub that holds and moves laundry during wash cycles. Replaces a damaged or worn drum to restore normal tumbling and water containment. What it does:

• Houses and turns laundry during wash and spin cycles to enable cleaning and water extraction.
• Contains water within the washer cabinet to prevent leaks during operation.
• Restores smooth rotation when worn drums cause wobbling or scraping noises.
• Can resolve performance issues tied to a damaged or cracked tub affecting wash quality.

• Disconnect power and water supply before beginning any repair.
• This is a heavy, bulky component—use two people or proper lifting tools to avoid injury or damage.
• Inspect seals, bearings, and mounting hardware during replacement; replace related parts if worn to ensure proper function.

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

This multi-connector wire harness routes power and signals between appliance components to restore electrical connections and reliable operation. It replaces a damaged or burnt harness to fix intermittent power, unresponsive controls, or component failures. What it does

• Provides multiple insulated conductor paths to connect controls, sensors, and motors
• Restores lost or intermittent electrical connections caused by frayed or broken wires
• Prevents shorts by replacing damaged insulation or connectors
• Helps resolve symptoms like no power to a component, erratic operation, or error codes tied to wiring faults

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before replacing the harness
• Match connector shapes and wire colors during removal and install to ensure correct routing
• Inspect mating connectors and replace any damaged terminals to prevent recurring issues

This balance weight is the washer counterweight that helps stabilize the tub during spin cycles to reduce vibration and noise. Replaces a worn or damaged weight to restore smoother, quieter operation. What it does:

• Counterbalances the washer drum to minimize shaking and excessive movement during spin cycles
• Helps prevent banging or knocking noises caused by an unbalanced tub
• Supports even load distribution to reduce stress on suspension components
• Used when a cracked, loose, or missing weight is causing vibration issues

• One balance weight (counterweight)

• Disconnect power and water supply before starting any repair
• Support the tub or cabinet when removing/installing the weight to avoid sudden movement
• Tighten mounting hardware to OEM torque if specified; use the factory fasteners when available
