Parts for Kenmore 233.56053 (23356053, 233 56053): Main Asy Parts

This capacitor helps start and keep the blower/fan motor running smoothly in your range hood or ventilation unit. Replacing a weak or failed capacitor can restore proper fan performance and reduce humming or slow-start issues. What it does

• Provides the phase shift needed for a PSC fan motor to start and run correctly
• Common symptoms of failure: fan won't start, only hums, runs slowly, or starts intermittently
• Physical clues include a swollen case or heat-damaged terminals

• 1 capacitor

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing; capacitors can retain a charge
• Safely discharge the old capacitor and avoid shorting the terminals
• Note wire positions/take a photo and transfer wiring to the new part one-for-one
• Mount securely and keep leads clear of sharp edges and hot surfaces; test operation after reassembly

This Heat Sentry is a thermal sensor that detects excessive heat in the hood and helps protect the appliance by triggering a shutdown or alert when temperatures rise above safe levels. It restores proper heat-sensing function for safety. What it does:

• Monitors hood temperature and responds if heat exceeds safe thresholds
• Trips the hood's thermal protection to stop the blower or signal an overheat condition
• Helps prevent damage from prolonged exposure to high heat while cooking
• Common symptom: hood fan stops running or won't restart after heavy cooking, or thermal protection repeatedly trips

• One Heat Sentry thermal sensor

• Turn off power at the breaker before accessing the hood or wiring
• Installation typically requires removing the hood canopy or control panel to reach the sensor
• Match mounting and connector type to your unit; replace only with the same part number

This blower wheel spins inside the vent blower assembly to move air through the hood or ventilation system, restoring proper airflow and helping clear smoke and cooking odors. Fits applications that use a single replacement wheel. What it does:

• Replaces worn or damaged wheel blades that reduce airflow
• Restores proper ventilation when airflow is weak or uneven
• Can reduce vibration or scraping noises caused by a bent or broken wheel
• Works with the blower motor to circulate air through the ductwork and filters

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning work.
• Handle with care — blower housings and mounting screws may have sharp edges.
• Verify wheel orientation and secure mounting to the motor shaft per manufacturer alignment marks.

Replacement mounting washer that secures fasteners and maintains proper spacing on blower, motor, and housing assemblies. Restores alignment and helps reduce vibration and rattling caused by loose or missing hardware. What it does:

• Provides a smooth bearing surface under a screw or nut to distribute load and prevent pull-through.
• Keeps mounting fasteners aligned and helps maintain correct spacing between components.
• Helps reduce vibration and noise from loose or worn hardware when installed properly.
• Useful when replacing corroded or damaged fastening hardware during routine repairs.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair.
• Match the washer to the original part (size and thickness) and install between the fastener head and the mounting surface.
• Do not overtighten fasteners—tighten just enough to secure the part and avoid crushing the washer.
• Replace any rusted or damaged screws, nuts, or complementary hardware for a reliable repair.

This electronic control board replaces the failed main control in a range hood to restore fan, light, and timed functions. It provides the appliance's switching and control logic so the hood responds correctly to user commands. What it does:

• Controls fan speed selection and on/off signaling for the range hood
• Manages light operation and any timed or delay functions
• Re-establishes reliable electronic switching when the original board has failed
• Common symptoms: hood won't power on, fan or lights are unresponsive, or operation is intermittent

• Disconnect power at the breaker before starting any work
• Handle the board by its edges and avoid static discharge or contact with circuitry

This halogen light housing secures and shields the light assembly in your appliance, ensuring a stable bulb fit and safe heat management. Replace a cracked or heat-damaged housing to restore dependable, even lighting.

• Secures and aligns the halogen bulb within the fixture for proper seating
• Provides heat shielding to protect nearby components
• Helps direct light where needed
• Typical failure signs can include a loose or tilted bulb, melted/warped housing, lens/trim not attaching securely, or intermittent lighting from poor bulb seating

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Allow the bulb and housing to cool completely
• Remove lens/trim and bulb; retain fasteners and transfer the existing socket/hardware if required
• Mount the new housing securely and test operation before reinstalling the lens/trim
• Wear cut-resistant gloves; metal edges can be sharp

This thermal cutoff fuse interrupts power if internal temperatures exceed safe limits, protecting motors and heating elements. Replacing a failed fuse can restore normal power to the appliance when overheating has caused shutdowns or no-start conditions. What it does:

• Acts as a temperature-sensitive safety device that opens the circuit when excessive heat is detected
• Prevents continued operation of overheating components to reduce fire and damage risk
• Common symptom of failure: appliance or fan won't start or runs intermittently
• Used where overheating protection is required for motors, blowers, or heating elements

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before accessing or replacing the fuse
• Verify the OEM part number and orientation before installing; replace only with the same type
• Do not bypass or defeat the fuse
