Kenmore Freezer 253.16932100 (25316932100, 253 16932100) Parts

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

This small mounting clip secures interior or cabinet components to keep panels and trim stable, helping reduce noise and maintain proper alignment. It's a simple replacement that restores a snug fit where the original clip has broken or worn. What it does:

• Holds panels, trim, or small components in place to prevent gaps or rattling
• Restores proper alignment of clipped parts after damage or wear
• Maintains a secure attachment point for adjacent parts during normal use
• Helps prevent moisture or debris from entering behind secured panels

• Disconnect power or unplug the appliance before accessing internal components
• Handle the clip and surrounding trim carefully to avoid cracking adjacent plastic
• Use basic hand tools as needed; do not force clips into place—align before snapping
• Replace any damaged mounting features for a secure fit

This Temperature Controller regulates cooling by switching power to the compressor and related circuits to hold the set temperature. Replacing a failing controller restores accurate temperature control and reliable operation. What it does:

• Cycles cooling components to maintain the temperature you set
• Helps keep cabinet temperatures consistent for proper food storage
• Coordinates on/off operation to prevent overcooling or warm conditions
• Common failure symptoms: too warm or too cold, runs constantly or won't start, control/dial unresponsive

• 1 temperature controller

• Disconnect power before servicing—this is a line-voltage control
• Access the control area, label or photograph wire positions, and move wires one at a time to the new controller
• Reuse existing mounting hardware and any knob/overlay as applicable
• After install, set to mid setting and allow up to 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize

This hinge-side door stop helps limit door travel and protect the hinge assembly from over-rotation for a secure, consistent door movement. Replaces a worn or broken hinge-side stopper to restore proper door alignment and operation. What it does:

• Acts as the stop/breaker on the hinge side to prevent the door from swinging past its intended range
• Helps reduce stress and wear on the hinge and door seal caused by over-rotation
• Commonly replaced when the door catches, over-rotates, or the hinge feels loose
• Works with the hinge assembly to keep door movement smooth and predictable

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Remove the door or access hinge per your model's service instructions to reach the stopper
• Inspect adjacent hinge hardware and fasteners; replace any stripped or damaged parts
• Use proper hand tools and follow manufacturer torque and alignment guidance
