Kenmore Freezer 253.16582103 (25316582103, 253 16582103) Parts

This genuine appliance screw secures panels and components to keep your refrigerator parts aligned and stable. A small but essential fastener, it restores proper fit and stops rattling or loose trim for reliable operation. What it does:

• Fastens panels, trim, or internal components to the appliance frame
• Restores secure fit when factory screws are missing or stripped
• Stops vibration- or temperature-related rattling caused by loose hardware
• Helps maintain proper spacing and alignment of serviceable parts

• Turn off and unplug the appliance before servicing electrical or internal areas
• Use the matching screw hole and thread engagement; start by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Tighten until snug—do not overtighten to prevent stripping or cracking surrounding material

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
