Kenmore Refrigerator 253.55693407 (25355693407, 253 55693407) Parts

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 replacement ice deflector guides ice from the ice maker/dispenser into the bin or chute to reduce spills and misdirected cubes. It restores proper ice flow and helps keep the dispenser area tidy. What it does:

• Directs ice from the ice maker or dispenser chute into the ice bin
• Helps prevent ice from falling outside the bin or jamming the dispenser
• Reduces spillage and misalignment of ice cubes during dispensing
• Restores intended ice flow after a cracked, warped, or missing deflector

• Basic snap-in or screw-in replacement—inspect mounting tabs before installation
• Power off the refrigerator (or dispenser) and remove ice/ice bin before working on the deflector
• Handle part gently to avoid breaking thin plastic tabs; replace any damaged fasteners

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
