Kenmore Refrigerator 253.31444302 (25331444302, 253 31444302) Parts

This rubber grommet cushions and seals appliance components to reduce vibration and prevent wear where wiring, rods or panels pass through mounting openings. It helps keep parts aligned and protects against chafing and noise. What it does:

• Cushions and isolates vibration between moving parts and chassis
• Protects wiring, tubes or rods from rubbing and abrasion at mounting holes
• Helps reduce noise caused by contact or metal-on-metal vibration
• Aids in maintaining proper part alignment and secure fit

• Grommet

• Inspect mating hole and surrounding area for debris or sharp edges before installing
• Fit the grommet into the mounting hole so the flange seats evenly on both sides
• Replace any damaged or excessively worn grommets to restore protection
• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety procedures before attempting service

This replacement egg tray restores organized egg storage in your refrigerator door or shelf area so eggs stay upright and easy to access. Durable molded plastic replaces cracked or missing trays to help keep eggs contained. What it does:

• Holds and secures eggs to prevent rolling and tipping
• Restores a missing or damaged egg storage area in the fridge
• Helps reduce mess from cracked or loose eggs
• Fits into the refrigerator door or designated shelf location

• Simply remove the old tray and snap the new tray into the existing mounting location
• No tools required for most installations; handle gently to avoid cracking the tray
• Clean with mild detergent before first use
• Keep away from high-heat sources and avoid harsh chemicals

This rubber compressor mounting grommet cushions and isolates the compressor to reduce vibration and noise that can transfer to the cabinet. It helps maintain stable compressor positioning for quieter, smoother operation. What it does:

• Absorbs compressor vibration to lower noise and rattling
• Dampens movement that can cause abrasion or wear on mounting hardware
• Helps maintain proper alignment of the compressor assembly
• Common symptom: excessive buzzing, vibration, or rattling from the back of the appliance

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before servicing.
• Support the compressor before removing mounts to prevent shifting or damage.
• Inspect surrounding mounts and hardware; replace any worn or damaged pieces.

Color: Black. Rubber. Holds tube/wire

This replacement screw secures select refrigerator door handles to the door. A worn or missing screw can leave the handle loose or detached, making the door difficult to open and potentially stressing other components.

• Holds the door handle firmly to the door
• Helps restore proper door operation and safe grip
• Designed to fit designated mounting points for compatible models

• Unplug the refrigerator before beginning work
• Open the door to access the handle mounting points
• Use the correct screwdriver/Allen tool to avoid stripping the head
• Start threads by hand and tighten snugly—do not overtighten

This genuine replacement screw secures panels and small components on select appliances, restoring fit and reducing rattles or loose parts. It's a direct-fit fastener where the original #8-18 x 3/8 screw is missing or worn. What it does:

• Fastens trim, panels or brackets to appliance frames and components
• Restores secure fit to stop rattling or misaligned parts
• Replaces stripped, rusted or missing screws that prevent proper assembly
• Matches original thread size and length for correct engagement

• Use the correct driver and engage threads straight to avoid stripping
• Do not overtighten; stop when the part is snug and secure
• Replace any damaged mating hardware for best fit
• Unplug the appliance or shut off power when accessing internal fasteners

This spring-style hose clamp secures flexible appliance hoses and helps prevent leaks by holding hose ends tightly to fittings. Reliable, low-profile design for use on drain, water, or vent hoses where a strong, consistent grip is needed. What it does:

• Provides a spring-tensioned grip to keep hoses seated on fittings and reduce leaks
• Commonly used on flexible drain or water hoses and small vent lines
• Helps maintain proper connection under normal vibration and thermal cycling
• Replaces worn, stretched, or corroded clamps that no longer hold tension

• One spring hose clamp (exact quantity as sold)

• Use pliers to expand the clamp, slide into position, then release to seat on the fitting
• Inspect hose ends and fittings for wear; replace hose if damaged before installing clamp
• Wear eye protection when compressing the clamp; keep fingers clear of the clamp's edges
• Tighten only as needed—over-compressing can damage the hose

Color: Black/natural. Nylon

This drain tube routes defrost and condensation water from the freezer compartment to the drain pan so moisture drains away cleanly and prevents pooling. Replaces a cracked, clogged or disconnected drain line. What it does:

• Channels defrost and condensation water out of the freezer to the drain system
• Prevents water pooling inside the freezer or refrigerator compartment
• Helps avoid leaks onto the floor when the original tube is cracked, pinched or disconnected
• Works with the appliance's drain trough and drain pan to maintain normal defrost drainage

• One drain tube

• Disconnect power before servicing and work with a cooled appliance to avoid burns
• Access may require removing interior panels or kickplate; handle panels and clips carefully
• Inspect and clear any debris or ice from the drain trough before installing the new tube
• Ensure the tube is routed without sharp bends or kinks and is securely seated at both ends

This temperature control thermostat regulates refrigerator cooling by cycling the compressor and fans to maintain set temperatures. Replaces a faulty thermostat to restore proper temperature control and more consistent cooling. What it does

• Senses cabinet temperature and closes or opens the electrical circuit to run the compressor and cooling system
• Helps maintain steady temperatures so food stays properly chilled or frozen
• Commonly replaces a thermostat that causes the unit to run constantly, not run at all, or fail to reach set temperatures
• Works with the fridge's control assembly to respond to user temperature adjustments

• One temperature control thermostat

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Locate the thermostat behind the control knob or panel; refer to your model's service manual for exact access
• Handle the capillary tube and sensor bulb carefully to avoid kinks or damage

This heat exchanger suction line kit replaces a damaged or corroded suction line assembly to restore proper refrigerant flow and heat transfer in the cooling system. It helps maintain consistent compartment temperatures and system efficiency. What it does:

• Transfers heat from the refrigerant suction line so the compressor and evaporator operate correctly
• Replaces cracked, kinked, or corroded tubing that can cause refrigerant loss or reduced cooling
• Helps address symptoms such as warm or inconsistent temperatures, visible oil or residue at fittings, or abnormal frost/ice patterns
• Restores a sealed refrigerant path after tubing damage or when corrosion has compromised the line

• Intended for qualified service technicians only; system access requires certified refrigerant handling
• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing and follow all safety precautions
• Installation may require brazing, flare fittings, or specialty tools; verify leak-tight connections and pressure-test per OEM procedures
• Evacuate and recharge the refrigerant system to OEM specifications after installation
