Kenmore Dryer 796.91722010 (79691722010, 796 91722010) Parts

The Incandescent Lamp is an OEM part for LG dryers. It serves as the interior light source for LG clothes dryers.

Causes of lamp failure relate to typical lifespan expirations, being accidently left on which shortens rated hours, or faulty sockets allowing moisture or other contamination to enter the connection points.

Symptoms of a burned out lamp include:

• Dark or completely unlit drum chamber interior
• Inability to fully inspect clothes during operation
• Difficulty monitoring dryer progress without supplemental lighting

This LG part is also compatible with some Kenmore models.

Replacement door gasket that seals the refrigerator/freezer door to help keep cold air in, reduce energy loss, and maintain consistent temperatures for stored food. What it does

• Forms an airtight seal around the door to prevent warm air from entering the compartment.

The Dryer Thermistor is an OEM part for LG dryers, designed to monitor and help regulate the temperature within the dryer by providing feedback to the control board about the temperature inside the drum. This allows the dryer to adjust its heat settings accordingly, preventing overheating and ensuring clothes are dried evenly and safely.

Symptoms of a bad Dryer Thermistor include:

• Clothes not drying properly or taking longer than usual to dry.
• The dryer repeatedly stopping during a cycle.
• Error messages appearing on the dryer's display panel.
• The dryer getting too hot or not heating enough.

Causes of a bad Dryer Thermistor can include a buildup of lint and debris affecting its ability to accurately sense temperature, wear and tear over time, or electrical issues within the dryer's circuitry.

This OEM LG part can also be used on Kenmore/Sears appliances. 

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.

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.
