Kenmore / Sears Freezer Parts

Collects defrost water from the evaporator and channels it to the drain system. Replace if cracked, broken, or missing to prevent leaks inside the cabinet.

Freezer not cooling properly or running constantly? The heat exchanger transfers heat from the refrigerant system. Moderate difficulty repair for experienced DIYers.

Freezer not cold enough or running constantly? This temperature control thermostat regulates cooling cycles. Common DIY fix with basic tools needed.

This bushing protects the appliance service cord where it passes through the cabinet, reducing wear and preventing chafing that can expose wiring. It's a simple replacement that restores a safe cord entry point. What it does:

• Cushions and centers the service cord at the cabinet opening to prevent abrasion
• Helps keep the cord from rubbing on sharp metal edges that can cause insulation damage
• Reduces risk of shorting, sparking, or intermittent power caused by a worn cord
• Commonly replaced when the existing bushing is cracked, missing, or deformed

• One service cord bushing

• Disconnect power (unplug or switch off breaker) before servicing
• Inspect the cord and surrounding insulation; replace the cord if damage is found
• Push the bushing into the cabinet opening, then route the cord through the bushing until seated
• Reuse only if undamaged; do not force a damaged bushing into place

Drip pan kit for freezers. Installs beneath the unit to collect condensation and defrost water. Replace if cracked, warped, or missing pieces.

This mechanical temperature control thermostat replaces the factory temperature sensing switch to restore proper refrigerator temperature regulation. It helps the appliance maintain set temperatures for safe food storage and normal cooling performance. What it does:

• Senses cabinet temperature and opens/closes the cooling circuit to regulate compressor run time.
• Commonly used when the refrigerator runs constantly or cycles too quickly.
• Works as the user-adjustable temperature control for manual-style refrigerator controls.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Handle the sensing bulb/capillary tube gently; avoid kinks or sharp bends.
• Verify correct placement of the sensing bulb in the evaporator/probe clip per OEM location.

Ice maker not shutting off or making too much ice? A worn lever arm prevents proper shutoff. Simple replacement takes under an hour to restore function.

Replace a failed freezer compressor kit when your unit won't cool or runs constantly. This sealed system component restores proper refrigeration.

A replacement compressor kit designed to restore the refrigeration system's ability to cool by replacing failed compressor components. Use this kit when the compressor assembly needs service or replacement. What it does:

• Replaces failed compressor components to help restore normal cooling performance
• Stops intermittent or complete loss of cooling often caused by compressor failure
• Helps address loud humming, grinding, or continuous running tied to compressor problems
• Supports proper refrigerant flow when installed and serviced

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before beginning any repairs
• Compressor and sealed-system service (evacuation, vacuum, refrigerant charging) must be performed
• Use proper handling and tools for refrigerant-containing components to avoid leaks and injury

Refrigerator not cooling or running constantly? The compressor circulates refrigerant to maintain temperature. This repair requires refrigerant handling.

This capacitor stores and releases electrical energy to help the refrigerator's compressor start and run smoothly. Replacing a weak or failed capacitor can restore reliable compressor startup and more consistent cooling performance.

• Provides the electrical boost/phase shift needed for compressor motor startup and steady operation
• Works with the start device to deliver proper current to the compressor
• Failure symptoms can include clicking or humming near the compressor, poor cooling, or short cycling
• May cause the compressor not to start after power interruptions when weak or failed

• Disconnect power before servicing any electrical component
• Safely discharge the capacitor before handling; avoid touching terminals
• Note wire positions and terminal markings; transfer leads one at a time to the matching terminals
• Secure the capacitor in its mounting/bracket to prevent vibration damage

Hex head screw that secures panels, brackets, and internal components in refrigerators and appliances. Replace when missing, stripped, or damaged.
