I took the foot off and don't know how to get it back on. There is a curly pin that came off with it and I don't know where it goes.
There is the foot, screw, and pin. Help!
Thanks

There's a website called managemyhome.com which is sponsored by Sears. It's free to join. Go to the Home Manager column and choose Owner's Manuals from the drop down menu.

You can type in the brand name (Kenmore) and model number of your machine. Not all of them are in there but, I did find the one for the 1950280 question. It's a pdf file.

For the 38516764 question, please double check your model number. I received either no response or a Kenmore Elite dishwasher manual in response to my query.

So far I've only been able to find this page. It's $8.00 to download. Considerably cheaper than a new machine!

I don't know about a repair manual but I did see on Sears parts direct a link to download your manual for free after I put your model #in. It went into, www.managemylife.com and I able to download it with adobe.
Parts you can usually get from sites, like www.sew4less.com, www.sewingparts.com etc. And of course, Sears parts direct. Good luck
