Kenmore Refrigerator 253.44483704 (25344483704, 253 44483704) Parts

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.

This tube connector is a small water-line fitting that joins refrigerator water and ice-maker tubing, restoring a secure path for water flow. It helps stop leaks and regain consistent water delivery to the dispenser or icemaker. What it does:

• Joins two sections of refrigerator water tubing to maintain a watertight connection
• Stops leaks at a damaged or worn tube joint
• Restores water flow to the ice maker or dispenser when a broken connector is the cause
• Compatible with rigid and soft tubing in typical refrigerator plumbing layouts

• One tube connector

• Shut off the refrigerator water supply before servicing
• Inspect tubing ends and replace damaged tubing or seals as needed
• Use proper fittings and tighten to manufacturer torque; avoid over-tightening

This switch kit is an electrical switch assembly used to restore reliable control of affected appliance functions. It replaces a worn or failed switch so the unit responds correctly to user inputs and power commands. What it does:

• Replaces a faulty or unresponsive control switch that can prevent operation or cause intermittent power/command issues
• Restores proper opening/closing or on/off signaling for the associated control circuit
• Helps eliminate symptoms like no response to button presses, intermittent operation, or a stuck switch
• Matches OEM fit and mounting points for a direct replacement when the original switch has failed

• One switch kit assembly

• Turn off and unplug the appliance or disconnect power at the breaker before beginning work
• Follow the appliance manufacturer's disassembly steps to access the switch; avoid damaging nearby wiring or components
• Verify electrical connections are secure and oriented as original; test function before fully reassembling

A replacement sliding basket that restores smooth, stable drawer movement in refrigerator or freezer compartments so stored items slide out easily for access. Replaces a worn or damaged basket assembly to keep storage organized. What it does:

• Provides a rolling/sliding drawer surface so you can pull stored items out without tipping or spilling
• Restores proper track engagement when original basket binds, jams, or comes off the rails
• Helps stop excessive wobble, scraping, or uneven travel caused by worn parts
• Supports normal item storage and retrieval without altering fridge function

• High-level replacement: remove contents and existing basket, align onto tracks, and slide into place until it clicks/locks
• Use basic hand tools only; do not force parts—inspect tracks and rollers for damage before installing
• Disconnect power only if service requires working near electrical components; otherwise power-down not typically required for interior basket swaps
• If any mounting hardware or clips are missing/damaged, replace them to ensure secure operation

This shroud assembly is the molded housing that directs airflow and protects internal components. It restores proper airflow routing for efficient operation and helps reduce noise and debris entry around the blower area. What it does:

• Directs and channels airflow from the blower to the vent or drum, improving performance.
• Protects the blower motor and wiring from lint, debris, and incidental contact.
• Helps reduce blower noise by enclosing and stabilizing the blower area.
• Worn, cracked, or damaged shrouds can contribute to reduced airflow, unusual noise, or visible gaps near the blower.

• One shroud assembly

• Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before beginning work.
• Remove outer panels or access covers to reach the blower housing.
• Support the blower/motor assembly during removal and align mounting tabs carefully; avoid forcing fasteners.

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.
