Kenmore Refrigerator 253.44303401 (25344303401, 253 44303401) Parts

This drip tray catches and channels defrost and condensation water beneath the refrigerator to help prevent leaks and pool buildup under the appliance. Installs under the cabinet base where drain water collects during normal operation. What it does:

• Collects and holds defrost/condensation water from the evaporator drain.
• Directs water to the drain or evaporator to prevent leaks and floor damage.
• Reduces standing water that can cause odors or attract debris.
• Helps maintain normal drip/evaporation behavior after automatic defrost cycles.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing or removing the tray.
• Remove the toe kick or access panel as required by your model to reach the tray.
• Empty any standing water and inspect for debris or damage before reinstalling.
• If the tray is cracked, warped, or shows excessive corrosion, replace to avoid leaks.

This evaporator cover mounting bracket secures the evaporator cover inside the freezer compartment to keep cooling airflow and components in place. Durable metal construction replaces a broken or bent bracket to restore proper cover alignment. What it does:

• Holds the evaporator cover in position for correct airflow and protection of the evaporator coil
• Helps stop rattling or loose cover movement that can cause noise
• Restores a secure mounting point after impact or corrosion damage
• Works with the evaporator cover assembly to maintain consistent cooling performance

• High-level replacement: remove the evaporator cover to access mounting points; fasten bracket with existing screws
• Use basic hand tools; keep screws and clips organized for reassembly
• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid electrical hazard

This condenser fan motor circulates air across the condenser coils to help remove heat from the refrigeration system, improving cooling efficiency and preventing overheating of components. What it does

• Spins the condenser fan blade to move air over condenser coils for proper heat rejection
• Helps maintain compressor and system temperatures during normal cooling cycles
• Can cause warm cabinet temperatures or noisy operation when worn or seized
• Stops cycling correctly if the motor fails, which may lead to extended run times

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any service.
• Handle sharp condenser fins and mounting hardware with care; use gloves as needed.
• Verify fan blade clearance and secure all mounting screws before restoring power.
• After installation, the motor runs quietly and the fan blade spins freely.

This replacement fan shroud screw secures the evaporator/condenser fan shroud to the appliance, helping keep the fan assembly stable for proper airflow and quiet operation. Use it to replace stripped or missing mounting hardware. What it does:

• Secures the fan shroud or mounting bracket to the appliance cabinet or fan assembly
• Helps prevent fan wobble, rubbing, and airflow disruption caused by a loose shroud
• Restores proper clearance between fan blades and shroud to reduce noise and wear

• High-level replacement—remove power to the appliance before starting work
• Use appropriate-size driver to avoid stripping the screw head
• Inspect surrounding hardware and shroud for damage; replace any damaged parts before reassembly
