Kenmore Freezer 253.21111102 (25321111102, 253 21111102) 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 Compressor Run Capacitor is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire refrigerators. This electrical component is essential for providing the necessary torque to start and maintain the operation of the compressor motor, which is responsible for cooling the refrigerator.

Symptoms of a failing compressor run capacitor include:

• The refrigerator not running or cooling properly
• The compressor failing to start or running intermittently
• Humming or buzzing noises coming from the compressor area

Causes of needing to replace the compressor run capacitor can include normal wear over time, exposure to high temperatures or electrical surges, or physical damage to the capacitor itself.

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

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.
