Product review (5 stars): With The Exception Of the Upper Felt Piece, The Remaining Parts Are Compatible With Kenmore Model 417.84042500
This kit saved me a bundle on purchasing the parts separately sans the upper felt. Its pretty much a universal kit and the only downside was the upper felt, even with the plastic guides removed (yes they can be unsnapped) prove too thick for this Kenmore model.  Yikes the upper felt piece purchased alone costs almost as much as the entire kit. My original problem was the motor. Upon inspection of the original felt and no metal wear or cloths catching I'm pretty confident the original felt has a few miles left on it. Overall the kit was a good buy.
