1106872693 — What Is This Part and How Do I Replace It?

Understanding the Problem

I could not find a definitive match for part number 1106872693 in my parts database. That can happen with older, OEM-specific, or region-specific numbers. Below is a practical, step-by-step guide you can use right away to identify the part, confirm whether it’s the faulty component, and replace it safely. 1) Confirm the appliance and model - Locate the appliance model and serial number (usually on a sticker inside the door, behind the kickplate, on the fridge wall, or on the back). Write them down. - Search the manufacturer parts lookup (manufacturer website or authorized parts supplier) using the appliance model number, not just the part number. 2) Visually identify the part - Open the access panel(s) where the suspected part is located (refer to your owner's manual or service manual diagram). - Compare the physical part to any photos you find online. Take clear photos of the component and its wiring/hoses/connectors from several angles. 3) Cross-reference the part number - Use the appliance model number and the pictures to search parts databases (appliancepartspros.com, repairclinic.com, searspartsdirect.com, manufacturer OEM parts site). Include quotes around the part number when searching. - If the part number doesn't return results, check for alternate numbers stamped on the part, molded numbers, or a manufacturer’s logo. 4) Diagnose symptoms and test the part - Identify the problem symptom (no power, no water flow, leak, noise, heating failure, error code). Match the symptom to likely components in the parts diagram. - Use a multimeter to test electrical parts: check for continuity, appropriate resistance, or voltage where applicable. For mechanical parts inspect bearings, seals, and wear. - If the part is mechanical (motor, roller, bearing), check for play, grinding, or seized movement. If it’s electrical (switch, thermostat, control), check for open circuits or intermittent contacts. 5) Order the correct replacement - Once you confirm the exact OEM part reference from the appliance model parts diagram, order the replacement from an authorized dealer or a reputable parts seller. - If you cannot find an exact match, contact manufacturer or authorized service for confirmation before ordering. 6) Prepare for replacement - Tools commonly required: nut drivers, screwdrivers (Phillips and flat), socket set, pliers, multimeter, work light, and needle-nose pliers. - Safety: unplug the appliance or turn OFF the circuit breaker and shut off water supply if applicable. Wear gloves and eye protection. 7) Replacement steps (generic, adapt to your appliance and confirmed part) - Document current connections: take photos and label wires/connectors with masking tape. - Remove any obstruction panels to access the part. - Disconnect electrical connectors and remove mounting screws/fasteners holding the part. - Remove the old part. Inspect mounting points, wiring harness, and surrounding components for associated damage or wear. - Install the new part in the reverse order: secure mounting screws, reconnect wiring, ensure connectors snap fully, and reinstall panels. - Restore power/water and run a test cycle or power-on test to confirm the repair. Check for leaks, noise, error codes, and correct operation. 8) Final checks and troubleshooting - If problem persists, re-check wiring, fuses, and related components that interact with the replaced part (motors, control boards, valves). - If you’re seeing error codes, consult the service manual for code meaning — codes often point to a different failing component. Safety note: Always disconnect power before opening or working on appliances. If you’re unsure about handling gas lines, high-voltage components (HV capacitors, control boards), or sealed refrigeration systems, stop and contact a licensed technician.

Common Symptoms

Varies by part—common signs that a component needs replacing include appliance not starting, intermittent operation, loud or unusual noises, leaks, visible wear or cracking, and error codes on the display.

Common Causes

• The part number may be OEM-specific, discontinued, or mis-stamped, so cross-reference using the appliance model number.
• Wear and tear — mechanical parts seize, bearings fail, or seals degrade over time.
• Electrical failure — switches, thermostats, and wiring can fail or go open, causing loss of function.
