Kenmore Refrigerator 253.44383404 (25344383404, 253 44383404) Parts

This E-ring is a small retaining clip used in Frigidaire refrigerators to hold components on a grooved shaft or pin. It keeps assemblies secure and operating smoothly by preventing parts from sliding off during normal use. What it does:

• Retains parts on a grooved shaft or pin to prevent axial movement
• Helps keep mechanisms aligned and reduces wobble or separation
• Common symptoms when missing or damaged: loose or fallen-off parts, scraping/rattling noises, or poor operation of the affected assembly

• 1 E-ring

• Unplug the refrigerator before servicing; wear eye protection (spring clips can snap)
• Use needle-nose pliers or an E-clip tool to compress and seat the ring in the groove
• Verify the ring is fully seated and flush in the groove before reassembly
• Keep any spacers/washers in the original order during removal and reinstallation

This control rod spring fits the refrigerator's ice maker shutoff arm. It restores proper tension so the ice maker cycles on/off correctly and stops making ice when the bucket is full.

• Maintains tension on the ice maker control/shutoff arm for reliable on/off operation
• Helps the arm return to position so the ice maker senses a full bin and pauses production
• A weakened or missing spring may cause an overfilling ice bucket, a loose arm, or inconsistent ice production
• Replaces damaged or stretched springs that prevent the control rod from moving smoothly

• Unplug the refrigerator and shut off water to the ice maker
• Empty the ice bin and access the shutoff arm pivot
• Note the spring's orientation; install with needle-nose pliers without bending the control rod
• Restore power/water and verify smooth arm movement and proper shutoff

This factory fastener secures appliance panels and components. Replace a missing, stripped, or corroded screw to restore a tight, rattle-free fit and keep brackets and covers properly aligned.

• Fastens panels, brackets, and internal parts as specified by the manufacturer
• Helps maintain alignment and reduces vibration/rattling
• Replace if the head is stripped, threads are damaged, or corrosion is present
• Symptoms include loose/missing hardware, gaps, or rattling during operation

• Disconnect power; shut off gas/water if applicable before servicing
• Use the correct driver/bit size to avoid stripping the head

Front plate restores the appliance's front-facing cabinet, protecting internal components and improving appearance. It replaces cracked, dented or worn front trim so the appliance looks finished and covers internal parts. What it does:

• Covers and protects internal components behind the appliance's front cabinet.
• Restores cosmetic appearance when the existing front is dented, cracked, or scratched.
• Helps maintain proper fit and alignment of adjacent trim and access points.
• Reduces exposure of internal components to dust and incidental contact.

• Always disconnect power (and water, if applicable) before beginning work.
• Removal typically requires removing fasteners, clips or adjacent trim panels—keep track of all screws.
• Handle carefully; edges may be sharp and panels can be awkward to position alone.

This replacement extension support restores proper alignment and secure mounting for the appliance component it attaches to, helping stop misalignment, rubbing, or loose parts and letting the appliance operate smoothly. What it does:

• Replaces a worn, broken or missing extension support used to secure or extend a nearby panel, drawer, or assembly.
• Helps stop rattling, uneven movement, or binding caused by a damaged support piece.
• Restores proper spacing and mounting so associated parts track and close correctly.
• Works as a direct-fit replacement when the original extension is damaged or missing.

• Disconnect power (and water, if applicable) before beginning any repair.
• Handle edges carefully; use basic hand tools and keep original fasteners if reusing them.
• If mounting hardware is missing or damaged, source matching screws/clips separately.
