Kenmore Refrigerator 253.4438340B (2534438340B, 253 4438340B) Parts

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

This spring solenoid is the actuator spring assembly that helps move and return a solenoid-driven mechanism, restoring reliable part movement and engagement in affected appliance systems. What it does:

• Provides return tension and controlled movement for a solenoid actuator
• Helps the solenoid plunger snap back after activation so linked components reset
• Commonly replaced when the actuator fails to move, sticks, or does not fully return
• Corrects symptoms such as intermittent engagement, sticking, or loss of actuator motion

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting service to avoid shock or injury
• Handle small components carefully; keep track of retaining clips, pins, or fasteners
• Replace with the exact part number to ensure fit and function
• Refer to OEM instructions for step-by-step removal and reassembly

This ice auger drives and feeds ice from the ice maker/bin toward the dispenser so your refrigerator can deliver ice reliably. It replaces a worn or damaged auger to restore proper ice movement and help prevent jams. What it does:

• Rotates inside the ice bin or dispenser housing to move ice toward the outlet.
• Works with the auger motor and drive components to enable ice dispensing.
• Common symptom: ice dispenser motor runs but little or no ice is delivered.
• Common symptom: ice jams or broken fins on the auger that prevent smooth feeding.

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before beginning any work.
• Remove ice bin and any surrounding trim to access the auger; follow your model's service instructions.
• Inspect mating gears and the auger motor for wear; replace damaged components as needed.
• Reassemble carefully, restoring power and testing the dispenser with small amounts of ice.
