Kenmore Refrigerator 253.4451260B (2534451260B, 253 4451260B) 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
