Kenmore Refrigerator 253.44509602 (25344509602, 253 44509602) Parts

This mechanical refrigerator thermostat regulates interior temperature, letting the compressor cycle on and off to maintain your set cooling level. It's a direct replacement for worn or unresponsive temperature controls to restore consistent cooling. What it does:

• Senses cabinet temperature and signals the compressor to run or stop to maintain setpoint
• Replaces a thermostat that won't hold temperature, causes continuous running, or prevents cooling
• Works with manual temperature-control knobs (mechanical sensing and switching)
• Typical failure symptoms: refrigerator too warm, too cold, or compressor that runs constantly or not at all

• Disconnect power before attempting any service to avoid shock or damage
• Access may require removing control panels or shelves; keep track of mounting screws and orientation
• Confirm wiring and terminal placement match the old thermostat before final connection

This water inlet tube supplies water from the refrigerator's supply to the dispenser and ice maker, restoring proper flow and preventing routing issues. It's a direct-fit replacement that helps stop leaks and restore water delivery. What it does:

• Directs water from the house supply to the refrigerator's internal water system.
• Restores water flow to the dispenser and ice maker when a damaged tube is blocking supply.
• Prevents leaks and water pooling caused by cracked, pinched, or corroded inlet tubing.
• Works with other inlet fittings and valves to maintain proper water routing.

• Shut off the refrigerator power and water supply before starting any work.
• Remove access panels as needed and relieve any residual water pressure in the line.
• Use proper tubing connectors and tighten fittings to manufacturer torque—inspect for leaks after restoring water.
• If you find additional damaged fittings or clamps, replace them to ensure a leak-free install.
