Kenmore Refrigerator 253.54664402 (25354664402, 253 54664402) Parts

An ice auger rotates inside the freezer's ice bin to move cubes to the crusher and out the dispenser chute. Replacing a worn or broken auger restores consistent dispensing and helps eliminate jams and grinding from a slipping spiral.

• Advances ice through the bin toward the crusher/dispenser chute
• Works with the crusher assembly to deliver cubed or crushed ice based on the selector
• A stripped or cracked auger may result in little/no ice dispensing while the motor runs
• Damage can cause ice jams, uneven dispensing, or grinding noises from the bin

• Unplug the refrigerator; remove and empty the ice bin, allowing any frost to thaw
• Wear cut-resistant gloves—crusher blades and sheet-metal edges are sharp
• Disassemble the crusher/blade stack and note the exact blade/spacer order
• Transfer the blade stack, bushings, and hardware to the new auger; reassemble and confirm smooth rotation before reinstalling

This upper door hinge bearing serves as the low-friction bushing on the top hinge pin so the refrigerator door pivots smoothly. Replacing a worn bearing can stop squeaks and help restore level, easy-opening door operation.

• Provides a low-friction sleeve for the upper hinge pin to reduce wear
• Helps maintain door alignment with the cabinet for a consistent seal
• Common symptoms include squeaking or grinding, door rubbing or sagging, or the door not closing smoothly
• Physical signs include cracks, flattening, or oval-shaped wear in the bushing

• Unplug the refrigerator and remove items from the door
• Support the door; remove the top hinge cover and screws, then lift the door slightly
• Replace the worn upper hinge bearing on the hinge pin or bracket (design varies)
• Reinstall the hinge, align the door, and ensure proper gasket contact

This replacement refrigerator container restores a secure, functional storage compartment so items stay organized and easy to access. Replace a cracked or broken container to regain proper capacity and a snug, reliable fit.

• Provides the designated storage space within the refrigerator or freezer section
• Helps keep items organized and prevents shifting or spills when opening/closing
• Replace if cracked, warped, or if mounting tabs are broken
• Common symptoms: bin won't stay seated, items fall out, reduced usable storage, visible damage

• Disconnect power and remove items from the area before servicing
• Carefully lift/slide the old container out; transfer any reusable trim as designed
• Seat the new container fully so tabs/rails engage evenly
• Avoid forcing cold plastic; let the compartment warm slightly to reduce risk of cracking

This humidity control is the adjustable slider in the crisper drawer cover that opens and closes the vent to regulate moisture around fruits and vegetables. Replace a cracked or missing control to restore smooth adjustment and consistent crisper conditions.

• Mounts to the crisper cover and links to the vent/damper door
• Slides between settings to increase or reduce airflow for proper crisper humidity
• Typical symptoms: broken or missing lever, slider stuck or loose, vent doesn't move as you adjust, excess condensation or wilting produce

• Disconnect power; remove food, crisper pan, and cover/glass as needed—handle glass carefully
• Release the old control from its slot/retainer and note the vent linkage orientation
• Seat the new control and engage the linkage; confirm full travel and proper vent action
• Reassemble the cover and drawer, then restore power

Specs: Hex head ,1/4-20 x 5/8

This drive cam is the rotating plastic cam used in the refrigerator's ice system. It transfers the motor's motion to linked parts to advance the cycle so ice can be produced and dispensed smoothly.

• Transfers rotation from the motor to move internal levers/gears in the ice assembly
• Advances the ice-making/dispensing cycle
• Wear or cracks can cause stalling, clicking/grinding, or no/weak ice dispensing
• May lead to ice not ejecting or jamming mid-cycle

• Disconnect power and shut off water before servicing
• Remove the ice bin; access the ice maker or dispenser mechanism as your model requires
• Note the cam's orientation and alignment marks; seat the new cam fully on the shaft
• Reassemble, restore power, and run a test cycle to confirm operation

This is not a filter. Use this bypasss if don't want to use the PureSource 2 Water Filter WF2CB or the Pure Advantage Water Filter EWF2CBPA.

This front shelf trim replaces a damaged or missing front edge on your refrigerator shelf. It restores a secure, finished lip that supports the shelf and helps keep items and small spills from sliding out.

• Attaches to the front edge of the shelf to provide a finished lip and added support
• Helps contain minor spills and prevents items from sliding off the shelf
• Resolves issues like cracked, warped, or missing trim and a loose or unstable shelf edge
• Common symptoms: broken or chipped trim, loose/missing front edge, shelf not seating or holding properly

• Remove food, lift out the shelf, and place it on a flat work surface
• Release the old trim by disengaging tabs and sliding/pulling it off
• Align the new trim with the front edge and press firmly until fully seated
• Handle shelf components carefully; wear protective gloves and disconnect power if working near internal electrical parts

This is a factory replacement screw fastener used to secure components in your appliance. It restores a tight, rattle-free fit for panels, brackets, and trim when an original screw is missing, stripped, or corroded.

• Secures panels, brackets, and trim to the appliance cabinet or liner
• Replaces a missing, stripped, or rusty screw
• Helps eliminate looseness, vibration, or rattling components
• Maintains proper alignment and a clean, factory fit

• Unplug the appliance before servicing; if near water lines, shut off the supply
• Match to the original and install in the same location/orientation
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; do not overtighten, especially into plastic
• Keep and reuse any original washers or spacers if present

Shroud assembly that covers internal refrigerator components and helps direct airflow for consistent cooling. Replacing a cracked or damaged shroud restores proper airflow paths and can reduce fan vibration and contact-related noise. What it does:

• Covers and protects internal components from debris and accidental contact.
• Directs airflow around the evaporator/fan area to support even cooling; symptoms of a failing shroud include uneven cooling or frost buildup.
• Reduces fan noise and vibration when mounting tabs or the housing are intact.
• Visible cracks, broken tabs, or holes are common signs the shroud needs replacement.

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair.
• Remove interior panels and fasteners carefully; retain hardware for reinstallation.
• Align tabs and mounting points; do not force broken tabs—replace damaged fasteners as needed.

This water fill tube directs water from the inlet valve into the ice maker's fill cup. Replace a cracked, kinked, or frozen tube to restore reliable ice production and help prevent leaks or splashing inside the freezer.

• Routes water from the rear inlet valve to the ice maker fill area
• A damaged or blocked tube can cause no ice, small cubes, leaks near the back/freezer, or ice buildup at the fill spout
• Formed design helps aim water into the fill cup for proper filling
• Replace if the tube is cracked, brittle, kinked, or repeatedly freezing

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Access the rear and freezer liner; disconnect the old tube at the valve and liner/fill area
• Seat the new tube fully through the liner and into the ice maker fill cup; reconnect to the valve and secure any reused clips/seals
• Restore water and power, then check for proper fill and leaks

This aluminum strap secures the defrost heater firmly against the evaporator coil to maintain proper contact during defrost. Correct contact improves heat transfer so frost melts evenly and helps prevent recurring ice buildup on the evaporator.

• Secures the defrost heater to the evaporator for proper contact and heat transfer
• Promotes complete, even defrosting across the evaporator coil
• Helps reduce repeat frost/ice accumulation caused by a shifted or loose heater
• Typical clues include a loose heater, uneven frost pattern, or rattling near the evaporator

• Disconnect power and allow ice to melt before accessing the evaporator
• Use care around sharp fins and fragile refrigerant tubing; do not puncture or deform the coil
• Position the heater per your model's parts diagram and tighten the strap for firm, even contact
• Verify wiring is routed clear of the fan and moving parts before reassembly
