Parts for Kenmore 363.8720740 (3638720740, 363 8720740): Replacement Parts

This shaft damper door assembly controls the damper door movement in the appliance vent system, helping proper airflow and preventing backdrafts. It replaces a worn or broken damper shaft so the door opens and closes reliably. What it does:

• Provides the rotating shaft and mounting needed for the damper door to swing open and closed
• Restores proper venting and helps prevent outside air or pests from entering when idle
• Commonly replaced when the damper door is stuck, broken, or the shaft is bent or worn
• Helps reduce airflow restrictions and abnormal noises caused by a damaged damper shaft

• Turn off and unplug the appliance (or shut off power at the breaker) before servicing
• Remove only the panels needed for access; take care with sharp sheet metal edges
• Verify orientation of the damper door and shaft before removing the old part to ensure correct reassembly

A small insulating cap that fits over a male electrical terminal to protect and insulate the connection, helping prevent accidental shorts and reduce exposure to moisture and debris. What it does:

• Covers and insulates a bare spade or blade terminal to reduce short circuits and arcing
• Helps keep the terminal connection stable and protected from dust and moisture
• Reduces risk of corrosion at the exposed metal connection
• Makes reassembly cleaner and helps maintain reliable electrical contact

• Disconnect power before servicing electrical components to avoid shock
• Gently push over the terminal until fully seated
• Use appropriate tools (needle-nose pliers) if access is tight; do not force or modify the part
• If the underlying terminal is damaged or corroded, replace the terminal or wiring as needed before installing the cap
