Kenmore Elite 79571042012 Parts

The Guide Assembly Rail (RH) is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. This Right-hand rail is responsible for guiding the movement of drawers or shelves within the refrigerator, ensuring smooth and secure sliding. It helps maintain proper alignment and stability of the drawers, making it easier to access stored food items.

Causes of a bad guide rail can include wear and tear over time, damage due to heavy loads or excessive force when opening and closing the drawers, or misalignment from improper installation. A faulty rail can affect the performance of the drawer, leading to difficulties in accessing the refrigerator’s contents.

Symptoms of a bad guide rail include:

• Drawers not sliding in and out smoothly
• Misaligned or wobbly drawers
• Difficulty opening or closing drawers completely

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

This button lever is the small plastic actuator behind a push button that engages the internal latch or switch. Replace it to restore clean, reliable operation when the button sticks, feels loose, or no longer triggers the function.

• Links the external push button to an internal latch or microswitch so the feature operates
• Transfers motion smoothly and helps the button return after pressing
• Common failure points include cracked pivots, broken tabs, or worn contact surfaces
• Symptoms: button sticks, feels mushy or loose, requires extra force, or fails to activate

• Unplug the appliance or disconnect power before servicing
• Use your model's exploded view to access the button area and note lever orientation
• Release retaining tabs carefully; transfer any springs or clips from the old lever if reused
• Test button action before final reassembly

This hex head screw secures panels, brackets, and small components on appliances, restoring proper fit and stability. It's a direct replacement fastener when an original mounting screw is missing, loose, or damaged. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets, trim, and internal components to prevent rattling or movement
• Replaces stripped, missing, or damaged mounting screws that cause loose parts or misalignment
• Restores reliable mechanical fastening so doors and panels sit flush and operate correctly
• Works as a general-purpose appliance mounting screw when original fasteners are worn

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Match the screw to the original location and thread engagement; start by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Use the correct driver or socket for the hex head and tighten until snug—do not overtighten
• If the original hole or threads are damaged, repair or replace the mating hardware before installing the screw
