Kenmore Freezer 253.24202101 (25324202101, 253 24202101) Parts

This is an authentic OEM freezer basket bumper sourced directly from the manufacturer for use on freezer baskets. Freezer basket bumpers are attached to the baskets to keep them from sliding around inside the freezer. If the bumper breaks, the basket will not stay in place, and the contents could shift or fall out. Freezer baskets create more storage room inside a freezer. These baskets are normally located on the bottom of the freezer, with freezer racks located above. Freezer baskets are ideal for storing smaller packages that might not stack well on the racks. Over time, normal wear and tear may cause the bumper to crack or break completely; if this happens, the bumper should be replaced. Remove the contents of the freezer basket. Remove the freezer basket from the freezer. Push the new bumper onto the freezer basket. Replace the contents of the basket and put it back into the freezer. This handle freezer basket is made of high-quality, white molded plastic. It is designed for use in freezers manufactured by Frigidaire, Kenmore, Gibson, and Electrolux.

This replacement slide is a small guide piece that helps a movable component in your appliance travel smoothly and stay aligned, restoring easy, consistent operation when the original wears or breaks and causes sticking or rough movement.

• Guides a moving part along its track for smooth, stable travel
• Helps maintain alignment to reduce friction, binding, and uneven motion
• Worn slides can cause sticking, scraping, popping noises, or misalignment
• Visible wear, cracks, or deformation indicate the slide should be replaced

• Disconnect power and shut off gas/water supplies before servicing
• Note the original slide's orientation and mounting points for accurate reinstallation
• Reuse existing screws/clips if applicable; tighten securely without overtightening
• Cycle the component through its full travel to ensure smooth operation

This relay assembly helps start the refrigerator compressor so the cooling system can run reliably. It replaces a worn or failed start relay to restore normal compressor startup and reduce hard-start symptoms. What it does:

• Provides the initial start pulse to the compressor motor so the refrigeration cycle can begin
• Stops excessive current draw during startup to protect the compressor
• Commonly used when the compressor hums, won't start, or cycles on and off rapidly
• Helps eliminate starter-related clicking or failure-to-start issues

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing the relay
• Handle electrical connectors carefully; ensure secure, correct reattachment
• Verify match to the existing relay and mounting before installation

This compressor grommet is a rubber mounting isolator that cushions and secures the compressor to the appliance chassis, helping reduce vibration and noise while preventing metal-to-metal contact and premature wear. What it does:

• Cushions compressor movement to reduce vibration transmitted to the cabinet
• Dampens noise and rattling caused by compressor operation
• Prevents direct metal-to-metal contact that can wear mounting points
• Helps keep the compressor positioned and secured under load

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing the compressor or base pan
• Replace grommets while supporting the compressor to avoid strain on lines and connections
• Inspect remaining mounting grommets; replace all worn isolators for best performance

This small plastic clip secures the dishwasher drain hose to the pump assembly or discharge fitting, keeping the hose in place and helping prevent leaks or disconnection during operation. What it does:

• Holds the drain hose firmly to the pump or outlet fitting to maintain a watertight connection
• Prevents the hose from slipping free during drain cycles
• Helps stop water leaks and washing chamber flooding caused by a loose hose
• Useful when replacing a cracked or broken retaining clip

• One drain hose retaining clip

• Disconnect power and water supply before accessing the dishwasher lower access area
• Remove the access panel or kickplate to reach the drain hose and pump connection
• Use pliers or a flat tool to remove the old clip and snap the new clip over the hose/fitting until fully seated
• After installation, run a short drain cycle and inspect for leaks; re-secure if necessary

This hinge cover protects and finishes the appliance's door hinge, restoring a clean appearance and helping keep the hinge area clear of dirt and debris. A simple cosmetic and protective replacement. What it does

• Covers and shields the door hinge to protect it from dust, grease and debris.
• Restores the appliance's finished appearance when the original cover is cracked, broken, or missing.
• Helps reduce the chance of exposed sharp edges from a damaged hinge area.
• A damaged or missing cover can contribute to visible hinge hardware and may make the door look misaligned.

• Support the door before removing any hinge hardware to prevent the door from shifting or falling.
• Handle edges carefully and wear gloves to avoid cuts from metal parts.
• Reinstall original mounting screws or clips; do not overtighten plastic components.

A small metal clamp that secures the refrigerator's capillary (temperature sensing) tube to the cold control so the thermostat reads temperatures accurately. Replaces worn or missing clamps to keep the sensing tube stable and prevent movement-related issues. What it does:

• Holds the capillary/sensing tube firmly against the cold control or cabinet
• Helps maintain accurate thermostat sensing by preventing tube movement
• Reduces vibration or rattling from a loose sensing tube
• Stops intermittent temperature swings caused by a displaced capillary tube

• Disconnect power before servicing the appliance.
• Handle the capillary tube gently; avoid kinks or sharp bends.
• Install clamp over the tube and secure to the control or bracket using the factory hole or fastener; do not overtighten.

This drain tube insulation cushions and thermally protects the refrigerator's defrost drain tube to help prevent condensation and ice buildup. It keeps the drain line insulated so water flows freely to the drip pan and reduces drip/ice-related issues. What it does:

• Wraps around the defrost drain tube to limit heat transfer and condensation.
• Helps prevent drain freeze-ups that can cause water pooling or slow drainage.
• Reduces the chance of water dripping inside the cabinet or onto the floor.
• Supports reliable defrost water routing to the drain pan.

• Always unplug the appliance or disconnect power before servicing.
• Access may require removing the back or inside panel; keep track of fasteners.
• Slide the insulation over the drain tube so it fully covers the exposed section; ensure it sits flat without kinks.
• If corrosion or heavy buildup is present, clean the drain tube before installing new insulation.
