Kenmore Refrigerator 253.31879100 (25331879100, 253 31879100) Parts

This shelf spacer is a genuine OEM replacement part sourced directly from the manufacturer, and it is used in refrigerators and freezers. This shelf spacer attaches to wire shelves in the refrigerator and freezer to hold them in place. If the shelf spacer is lost or damaged, the shelf will not stay in place. The spacer should be replaced.Refrigerator shelves must be sturdy to hold the weight of the food stored inside. If the shelf spacer is missing, the stability of the shelf is compromised. This part snaps onto the wire shelf and prevents it from moving around. This keeps the food inside the refrigerator from causing the shelf to fall. No tools are needed to install this part. If the shelf spacer is missing, do not store food on the shelf until it is installed.This shelf spacer is a white plastic part that is sold individually. It is designed for use in refrigerators manufactured by Kenmore, Frigidaire, Westinghouse, and Gibson.

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 genuine replacement part is an evaporator used in refrigerators. The evaporator is the part that exchanges heat to cool the refrigerator. It is the component of the refrigerator that absorbs the heat from the air inside, turning it cool through absorption. If the refrigerator is no longer cooling properly, this could mean it's time for a new evaporator.This is a genuine replacement evaporator compatible with Frigidaire, Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Westinghouse brand refrigerators.

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

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

A replacement compressor kit designed to restore the refrigeration system's ability to cool by replacing failed compressor components. Use this kit when the compressor assembly needs service or replacement. What it does:

• Replaces failed compressor components to help restore normal cooling performance
• Stops intermittent or complete loss of cooling often caused by compressor failure
• Helps address loud humming, grinding, or continuous running tied to compressor problems
• Supports proper refrigerant flow when installed and serviced

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before beginning any repairs
• Compressor and sealed-system service (evacuation, vacuum, refrigerant charging) must be performed
• Use proper handling and tools for refrigerant-containing components to avoid leaks and injury

This hex head screw secures panels, brackets, and small components on appliances, restoring proper fit and stability. It's a direct replacement fastener when an original mounting screw is missing, loose, or damaged. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets, trim, and internal components to prevent rattling or movement
• Replaces stripped, missing, or damaged mounting screws that cause loose parts or misalignment
• Restores reliable mechanical fastening so doors and panels sit flush and operate correctly
• Works as a general-purpose appliance mounting screw when original fasteners are worn

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Match the screw to the original location and thread engagement; start by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Use the correct driver or socket for the hex head and tighten until snug—do not overtighten
• If the original hole or threads are damaged, repair or replace the mating hardware before installing the screw

This is a replacement mounting screw used to secure the defrost timer assembly to the refrigerator control housing, restoring proper fastening and preventing the timer from shifting or vibrating during operation. What it does:

• Secures the defrost timer to the control housing so the timer stays in position.
• Prevents vibration or movement that can cause intermittent contact or noisy operation.
• Helps maintain reliable defrost cycle timing by keeping the timer properly aligned.
• Addresses symptoms such as a loose or missing fastener, rattling behind the control panel, or a timer that shifts when the door is opened.

• Unplug the appliance before starting work to prevent electrical shock.
• Access the control housing or timer bracket per your model's service instructions.
• Use the correct screwdriver or driver bit; do not overtighten—stop when snug to avoid stripping.
• Retain removed hardware for reference and compare screw length/threads before installing.
