Kenmore Air Conditioner 253.70062010 (25370062010, 253 70062010) Parts

This handheld remote control sends wireless commands to your appliance so you can change settings from a distance. It replaces a lost or non-working remote to restore convenient, button-based control of functions and modes. What it does:

• Sends infrared/wireless signals to the appliance receiver to change settings
• Lets you adjust common functions such as power, mode and temperature/fan settings
• Restores remote operation when the original remote is lost, damaged or unresponsive
• Resolve issues where the appliance doesn't respond to remote commands

• Install fresh batteries before first use and after long storage; use correct battery type
• Point remote at the appliance receiver and test from several feet away; remove obstructions
• If the appliance doesn't respond, check receiver/IR sensor and power to the appliance
• Handle electronic parts carefully; disconnect power to the appliance before servicing internal components

This thermistor is the refrigerator temperature sensor that helps the control board monitor and regulate cooling. Replacing a failed thermistor restores accurate temperature readings for more consistent fridge and freezer performance. What it does:

• Senses internal air temperature and sends that information to the control board
• Helps the defrost and compressor cycles run at the correct times
• Commonly linked to symptoms like inconsistent temperatures, error codes, or a unit that runs constantly
• Does not control cooling directly but provides the temperature feedback the system needs

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before beginning service
• Typically located in the fresh food or freezer compartment near the evaporator
• Handle the sensor and wiring gently; avoid pulling on the wires or bending the probe sharply
• If troubleshooting, verify wiring and sensor resistance per the manufacturer's service instructions before replacement

This compressor start/run capacitor helps the refrigerator compressor get up to speed so the cooling system can run properly. Replaces a worn or failed capacitor to restore reliable compressor starting and stable operation. What it does:

• Provides the brief boost of electrical current the compressor motor needs to start
• Helps maintain consistent motor RPM for steady cooling performance
• Common symptom: compressor hums but won't start or fridge not cooling
• Also used when the compressor cycles frequently or runs hot

• One replacement capacitor

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any work
• Discharge the capacitor and use insulated tools to avoid shock
• Note terminal wiring positions or take a photo before removing old part
