Parts for Kenmore 363.9534720 (3639534720, 363 9534720): Freezer Section Parts

This defrost heater and thermostat assembly melts frost from the evaporator and shuts off at the proper temperature during the defrost cycle, restoring airflow and helping the refrigerator maintain steady, reliable cooling performance.

• Heats the evaporator to clear frost/ice during the automatic defrost cycle
• Thermostat opens to terminate heat once a safe temperature is reached
• Helps restore air circulation to the fresh food section
• Common failure signs: heavy frost on the freezer back wall/evaporator, poor cooling or warm fridge, fan noise from ice contact, little or no water in the drain pan after "defrosts"

• Disconnect power before service; work on a fully de-energized appliance
• Access is typically behind the freezer's rear panel; remove shelves/ice components as needed
• Fully defrost before installing the new assembly to prevent damage and ensure proper fit
• Reinstall in the original locations; clamp the thermostat to the evaporator tubing and route wiring exactly as factory, away from sharp edges and moving parts

The Defrost Thermostat is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It regulates the temperature of the defrost cycle by sensing the temperature of the evaporator coils and signaling the defrost heater to turn on or off. This helps prevent ice buildup on the coils, ensuring efficient cooling and proper refrigerator operation.

You should replace this defrost thermostat if it fails to regulate the defrost cycle correctly. Common causes of a bad thermostat include electrical failures, wear and tear from regular use, or damage from temperature fluctuations.

Symptoms of a bad defrost thermostat include:

• Excessive frost buildup in the freezer
• Refrigerator not maintaining the correct temperature
• Defrost cycle not activating
• Water leaking inside the refrigerator

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The Lower Door Hinge Kit is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This kit is essential for the proper functioning and alignment of the refrigerator door, providing the necessary support and pivot point for smooth opening and closing. 

Symptoms of a failing Lower Door Hinge include:

• The refrigerator door sagging or failing to close properly
• Squeaking or grinding noises when the door is opened or closed
• Resistance or difficulty when moving the door
• Visible wear or damage to the hinge or surrounding area

Causes of a bad lower door hinge can include mechanical stress from frequent use, improper alignment or installation that increases wear, or corrosion from moisture exposure, which can weaken the metal components.

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

This rear wheel roller replaces a worn or damaged drawer/glide wheel to restore smooth movement and reduce sticking or noise. Durable molded construction fits the rear guide position to help support and steady the sliding drawer or bin. What it does

• Supports and guides the appliance drawer or bin for smooth in-and-out motion
• Replaces cracked, chipped, or worn rear wheel that causes binding or catching
• Helps reduce squeaks and uneven movement from a damaged roller
• Restores proper alignment and load support at the rear glide point

• One rear wheel (roller)

• Disconnect power and remove the drawer/bin per your owner's manual before replacing the wheel
• Typically installs by snapping or sliding into the rear glide bracket; basic hand tools may be needed
• Inspect mating tracks or brackets for damage and clean debris before installing the new wheel

Note No longer available in Almond or White. ( Black Only )

The Light Socket is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It is responsible for holding the refrigerator's light bulb and ensuring it receives power to illuminate the interior when the door is opened.

You should replace the light socket if it becomes faulty. Causes of a bad light socket can include wear and tear from regular use, electrical issues such as short circuits or power surges, and corrosion from moisture exposure.

Symptoms of a bad light socket include:

• The refrigerator light not turning on when the door is opened
• Flickering or intermittent light operation
• Visible damage or corrosion on the socket
• The light bulb not fitting securely or falling out

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

This freezer door light switch turns the interior freezer light on and off when the door opens and closes, restoring proper illumination so you can see contents clearly and avoid wasting food. What it does:

• Activates the freezer interior light when the door opens; deactivates it when the door closes.
• Replaces a worn, stuck or intermittent switch that causes the light to stay on, not turn on, or flicker.
• Fits into the door or cabinet frame mounting and connects to the existing wiring harness for direct replacement.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to prevent shock.
• Typically snaps into place and connects to the factory wiring harness; no special parts required.

The Evaporator Fan Motor Kit is an OEM part compatible with GE refrigerators. It is a critical component responsible for circulating air and maintaining proper airflow within the refrigerator's evaporator system, ensuring efficient cooling and temperature regulation. It features a shaft that measures 3/8 of an inch and two right-side terminals. Notably, the motor no longer comes with harness wires, which must be obtained separately for installation.

Symptoms of a faulty evaporator fan motor include:

• Inconsistent or inadequate cooling in the refrigerator or freezer compartments
• Warm spots or temperature fluctuations within the refrigerator
• Excessive frost buildup or ice accumulation in the freezer

Causes of a bad evaporator fan motor can include wear and tear over time, electrical issues or short circuits, or physical damage from foreign objects or improper maintenance.

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore refrigerator models.
