Kenmore Refrigerator 253.50683000 (25350683000, 253 50683000) Parts

No.12 - 24 x .63 hex head

This air duct cover channels cold air from the evaporator into the refrigerator/freezer compartment to help maintain even temperatures and proper airflow. It replaces damaged or missing duct covers to restore normal air circulation. What it does:

• Directs cooled air from the evaporator into compartments to reduce hot spots and improve cooling consistency
• Helps prevent direct frost buildup on stored items by guiding airflow
• Restores proper airflow when a cracked or broken cover allows air leaks
• Supports proper defrost cycle airflow when installed correctly

• One air duct cover

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid electrical shock
• Remove shelves and access panels as needed to reach the duct; handle plastic parts gently to avoid cracking
• Snap into place or secure with the factory screws/fasteners—do not force parts that do not align

This tube clamp secures small tubing and lines inside the appliance to prevent movement and reduce wear. It keeps hoses and tubes routed properly so they don't rub against sharp edges or vibrate during operation. What it does:

• Holds water, drain or refrigerant tubing in place to prevent sagging and chafing
• Reduces vibration and rattling from loose lines
• Helps prevent tubing wear that can lead to leaks or pinch damage
• Keeps hoses routed neatly for reliable appliance operation

• Disconnect power and shut off water supply before beginning any repair
• Remove any access panels needed to reach the clamp location; use caution around sharp sheet metal
• Replace only the damaged clamp with the same style and secure tubing firmly but without over-tightening
• If tubing shows damage where it was rubbing, replace or repair the tubing before reinstalling the clamp

This evaporator insulator cushions and protects the evaporator assembly to help maintain proper airflow and reduce condensation and vibration-related noise. It's a direct-replacement trim/foam piece used where the evaporator meets the cabinet. What it does:

• Cushions the evaporator to prevent rubbing and vibration noise
• Helps control airflow around the evaporator for consistent cooling
• Reduces condensation and frost migration at the evaporator edges
• Helps maintain proper spacing and fit of the evaporator assembly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing the evaporator compartment
• Remove applicable panels and ice/water components as needed to reach the evaporator
• Fit the insulator around or against the evaporator per the original orientation; use only recommended fasteners or adhesive if required
• Inspect adjacent seals and components before finishing
