Kenmore Refrigerator 253.5462240N (2535462240N, 253 5462240N) Parts

This evaporator cover mounting bracket secures the evaporator cover inside the freezer compartment to keep cooling airflow and components in place. Durable metal construction replaces a broken or bent bracket to restore proper cover alignment. What it does:

• Holds the evaporator cover in position for correct airflow and protection of the evaporator coil
• Helps stop rattling or loose cover movement that can cause noise
• Restores a secure mounting point after impact or corrosion damage
• Works with the evaporator cover assembly to maintain consistent cooling performance

• High-level replacement: remove the evaporator cover to access mounting points; fasten bracket with existing screws
• Use basic hand tools; keep screws and clips organized for reassembly
• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid electrical hazard

This replacement fan shroud screw secures the evaporator/condenser fan shroud to the appliance, helping keep the fan assembly stable for proper airflow and quiet operation. Use it to replace stripped or missing mounting hardware. What it does:

• Secures the fan shroud or mounting bracket to the appliance cabinet or fan assembly
• Helps prevent fan wobble, rubbing, and airflow disruption caused by a loose shroud
• Restores proper clearance between fan blades and shroud to reduce noise and wear

• High-level replacement—remove power to the appliance before starting work
• Use appropriate-size driver to avoid stripping the screw head
• Inspect surrounding hardware and shroud for damage; replace any damaged parts before reassembly

A small push-fit plastic retainer used to secure interior trim, panels, or lightweight components. Keeps parts held in place without screws for a clean finish and quick replacement. What it does

• Acts as a push-in fastener to hold trim pieces, liners, or lightweight panels.
• Replaces worn, broken, or missing pins that allow interior parts to shift or rattle.
• Helps stop loose trim, sagging panels, or gaps that can collect dirt or cause noise.
• Simple, non-threaded design for a secure press-fit connection.

• Press firmly into the matching hole until fully seated; do not force beyond resistance.
• Inspect mating hole for damage or debris before installing to ensure a proper fit.
• Use basic hand tools (needle-nose pliers) only if needed to remove the old pin; avoid prying against fragile trim.
• If the original hole is stretched or cracked, replace the mating trim or panel to regain proper retention.

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
