Kenmore Refrigerator 253.44483705 (25344483705, 253 44483705) Parts

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.

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
