Parts for Kenmore 253.280528010 (253280528010, 253 280528010): Door Parts

The Door Gasket is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It ensures a tight seal around the door, preventing cold air from escaping and warm air from entering the refrigerator.

Over time, the door gasket may become worn or damaged due to frequent use, accidental tears, or exposure to extreme temperatures. A compromised gasket can lead to increased energy consumption as the refrigerator works harder to maintain its internal temperature, spoiling of food due to improper cooling, and condensation or frost buildup inside the refrigerator or freezer.

Symptoms of a bad Door Gasket include:

• Noticeable gaps around the door 
• Difficulty in closing the refrigerator door 
• Condensation or frost buildup around the door 

This OEM Frigidaire part can also be used on Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.

The Freezer Door Key is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire refrigerators. This small but essential component is designed to securely lock the freezer door, preventing accidental openings or unauthorized access.

Symptoms of needing to replace the freezer door key include:

• Difficulty in locking or unlocking the freezer door
• The key not fitting properly or becoming stuck in the lock
• Visible wear, damage, or breakage of the key itself

Causes of a faulty freezer door key can include normal wear and tear over time, physical damage due to impact or mishandling, or issues with the locking mechanism itself.

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore refrigerator models.

The Refrigerator Door Gasket Clips are OEM parts for Frigidaire refrigerators. These clips secure the door gasket in place, ensuring a tight seal to maintain the internal temperature and prevent cold air from escaping. This pack contains 40 clips, which secure the interior trim pieces and hold the gasket and liner to the freezer lid.

Over time, the gasket clips can become damaged or worn out due to frequent opening and closing of the refrigerator door, exposure to moisture, or accidental impacts. If the clips fail, the door gasket may not stay in place, compromising the refrigerator's efficiency.

Symptoms of bad refrigerator door gasket clips include:

• The door gasket not staying securely in place
• Visible damage or wear on the clips
• Cold air escaping from around the door
• Increased energy consumption due to poor sealing

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.
