Kelvinator Mer341zas3 Model Parts

A cam sleeve that supports and guides the cam on its shaft to keep the cam-driven mechanism moving smoothly. Replacing a worn sleeve helps restore correct alignment and reduces binding or intermittent movement. What it does

• Centers and stabilizes the cam on its shaft for reliable engagement.
• Prevents metal-on-metal wear between the cam and shaft.
• Helps eliminate binding, wobble, or uneven operation caused by a worn sleeve.
• Common symptom of failure: noise, sticking, or irregular movement from the cam-driven mechanism.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair.
• Access typically requires removing the appropriate service panel; follow the model service manual.
• Inspect mating cam and shaft for wear; replace any damaged components.
• Reassemble panels and verify proper operation before returning the appliance to service.

A replacement thrust bearing that supports the washer transmission shaft to reduce axial wear and help the gearbox rotate more smoothly. Use this bearing to address noisy transmission operation and reduce metal-on-metal wear when the original is worn. What it does:

• Supports axial load on the transmission/gearcase shaft to reduce friction and wear
• Helps prevent grinding, scraping, or other metal-on-metal noises from the gearbox
• Can reduce rough or noisy spin and improve agitation when a worn bearing is the cause
• Helps maintain proper alignment of transmission components for smoother operation

• Disconnect power and water supply and drain the washer before beginning any work.
• Replacement requires accessing the agitator/gearcase per the OEM service manual and may involve transmission/gearcase disassembly.
• Inspect nearby seals, fasteners and other bearings while servicing; replace damaged parts to avoid premature failure.

A replacement mounting screw to secure appliance panels and components so parts stay properly fastened during normal use. Small but essential hardware for stable, rattle-free operation and reliable repairs. What it does:

• Fastens panels, brackets or components to the appliance chassis
• Prevents loose panels, vibration noise, or parts shifting during operation
• Used when original screw is lost, damaged, or stripped
• Restores proper fit and alignment after disassembly for service

• Disconnect power and water before starting any repair
• Use the correct screw type and length; do not force or substitute oversized fasteners
• Tighten until snug—avoid overtightening to prevent stripped threads or cracked parts
• Keep small parts away from children and pets

This lid latch secures the appliance lid and, on interlock-equipped models, signals that the lid is closed so the cycle can run safely. It restores proper closure and dependable operation when the original latch is worn or broken. What it does

• Latches the lid closed to prevent unintended opening during operation
• Engages the lid switch/lock circuit where used, allowing the cycle to start or continue
• Helps maintain alignment between the lid and strike/keeper for reliable closure
• Common symptoms include: lid won't stay closed, unit won't start or advance, intermittent stopping when the lid is bumped

• 1 lid latch

• Disconnect power before servicing; turn off water supply if applicable
• Access the latch, remove retaining screws/clips, and note orientation for reassembly
• Install the new latch and align it with the lid strike/keeper; reuse original hardware if required
• Close the lid and run a short test to ensure proper engagement and operation

This exhaust vent extension provides extra duct length to move dryer or hood exhaust farther from the appliance, improving airflow routing and helping reduce backpressure and lint buildup in short-vent installations. What it does:

• Extends the length of an existing exhaust duct to reach a distant vent outlet
• Helps restore proper ventilation when original ducting is too short
• Reduces restricted airflow that can cause longer dry times or excess lint accumulation
• Works as an inline rigid/semirigid extension piece for exhaust systems

• Disconnect power (and gas for gas dryers) before accessing or modifying exhaust connections
• Remove lint and debris from ducting before installing the extension to ensure clear airflow
• Securely fasten with appropriate clamps or foil tape and maintain a smooth, unobstructed path

This drain tube funnels and directs excess water away from the appliance to the drain path, helping prevent pooling and water damage. It replaces a worn, cracked or clogged tube to restore proper water flow. What it does:

• Carries water from the appliance's drainage area to the drain outlet
• Helps prevent leaks and interior water buildup from a damaged or disconnected tube
• Can resolve symptoms like water pooling under/behind the appliance or intermittent draining
• Ensures proper routing so water flows to the drain instead of into the cabinet

• One drain tube

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Turn off water supply and remove any panels needed to access the tube
• Inspect and replace any worn clamps or fasteners; ensure tube is routed without kinks
• After installation, restore power/water and run a test cycle to ensure there are no leaks

Use with motor 357282.

This terminal block access cover protects the appliance's electrical connection area, helping keep wires shielded and reducing the risk of accidental contact. It restores the factory appearance and helps maintain safe operation. What it does:

• Shields the terminal block and wiring from dust, debris, and accidental contact
• Helps prevent shorting or arcing at the power connection area
• Restores a finished look after service or replacement of wiring components
• Supports safe access control by covering live terminals when installed

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing.
• Remove or loosen the mounting fasteners for the old cover, then position and secure the replacement cover.
• Verify the cover fits flush and does not pinch wiring; ensure all connections are tight before restoring power.
