I can't find a motor assembly for my Kenmore 54351.

I need part number 4681a20040j

Is there an equivalent part I could use???

My fan doesn't run anymore.

It's upsetting since you can still buy this thing at sears.


Thanks, Jeremy

Try this site. (http://www.repairclinic.com/0080.asp)

You didn't have the full model # so I am not sure what you have.

Sears prodcuts has ### - 54351

Thanks for the timely response. I really appreciate it.

I have the Repair Parts List Manual here.

It says model number:

580.54351400

Hopefully I can repair this cheaply. I paid about 170.00 for it I think so I would hope it should run longer than two years.

Disappointing. Normally I have good luck at Sears.


Thanks again,

Jeremy

have you called Sears parts, and see if they can order it? (Some times parts number changes, may have a replacement)

have you made contact with the parts on the link I gave you?

I checked the site and they didn't have it.


I checked sears online, but I'll call them.

Thanks, Jeremy

Sears.com has the part number for about $27 plus shipping.

From everything I've read these are total crap.

Thanks for the help.

Sears support sold me the part and it was pretty easy to install (minus those delicate metal fins).

Without great forum posters, we would be helpless.
