Installing a part

I ordered a part for my fridge, which I received today. Apparently the old part that came off of the fridge was discontinued therefore I received the new part but dont know how to install because the old part has threads on it and the new one has no threads on it. So I need to know how to install the new one.

[B]How do I install part #279816 on my Kenmore dryer?
