Kenmore Refrigerator 253.55699407 (25355699407, 253 55699407) Parts

This refrigerator seal restores a tight barrier between internal components. Replacing a worn or damaged seal helps prevent air leaks and moisture intrusion, supporting proper airflow, stable temperatures, and reduced frost or condensation around the joint.

• Creates an air-tight barrier between mating surfaces
• Helps maintain correct airflow and temperature balance between compartments
• Reduces frost, condensation, and warm/cold spots near the sealed area
• Common signs of failure: visible gaps, loose/crumbled seal, rattling panel, moisture or frost at the joint

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Remove the related cover or housing to access the old seal
• Clean contact surfaces; install the new seal in the same orientation without stretching or pinching
• Reassemble and verify an even seal and normal airflow before returning to service

This fixed blade sits inside the refrigerator's ice bucket/crusher assembly. It provides a stationary cutting edge that works with the auger and rotating blades to break up cubes, helping your dispenser deliver consistent crushed ice.

• Stationary crusher blade that works with the auger and rotating blades to crush ice
• Helps prevent whole cubes from passing through on the "crushed" setting
• Worn, bent, or missing blades can cause poor crushing, jams, or uneven ice size
• May help address symptoms like dispenser jamming, irregular crushed ice, or increased grinding noises

• Unplug the refrigerator before servicing; remove and empty the ice bucket
• Note the order and orientation of blades, spacers, and fasteners; take reference photos
• Handle sharp metal edges; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Reassemble in the original sequence and tighten hardware snugly; ensure the auger turns freely before reinstalling

This small but critical actuator spring restores return tension in a refrigerator's actuator mechanism, helping the lever reset to neutral after use so controls feel responsive and operation stops cleanly. What it does:

• Provides the return force for an actuator or lever so it moves back to its neutral position
• Helps the mechanism engage/disengage a switch cleanly
• Common symptoms of a weak or broken spring: lever sticks, feels loose, or doesn't spring back
• Contribute to intermittent activation or failure to stop when released

• 1 actuator spring

• Disconnect power; if working near the dispenser/water system, shut off the water supply
• Access the actuator mechanism and note the spring's exact orientation (take a photo before removal)
• Use needle-nose pliers to transfer the spring; do not over-stretch or deform it
• Wear cut-resistant gloves and eye protection; test lever return action before reassembly

This spacer fits the refrigerator door hinge to set proper clearance and alignment so the door swings smoothly and seals correctly. Replace a worn or missing spacer to eliminate rubbing and uneven gaps at the door.

• Maintains the specified distance between hinge components for correct door height and alignment
• Helps the door open and close without rubbing or binding
• Supports consistent gasket contact for a reliable seal
• Common signs of wear: door sagging, scraping noises, uneven gaps, or the door not closing flush

• Unplug the refrigerator; remove items from the door and support the door before working on the hinge
• Note the order of any washers, cams, and spacers during disassembly for correct reassembly
• Reinstall hardware in the same sequence; do not overtighten fasteners to avoid deforming the spacer
• After reassembly, check door alignment and gasket seal; adjust as needed

This plug covers the small factory test opening on an appliance cabinet or liner. Replacing a missing or damaged plug helps close the opening to maintain a better seal and restore a clean, finished appearance.

• Seals the factory test opening in the cabinet/panel
• Helps limit air and moisture infiltration through the hole
• Reduces condensation or frost forming around the opening
• Restores a finished look when the original cap is missing or damaged

• Disconnect power before servicing the appliance
• Clean and dry the opening area for proper fit
• Align and press the plug in by hand until it sits flush—do not force or enlarge the hole
• Avoid sharp tools or sealants that could damage the liner or insulation

Right side.

This door hinge pin forms the pivot for the refrigerator door hinge, keeping the door supported and aligned. Replacing a worn or missing pin restores smooth door movement and consistent sealing.

• Acts as the hinge's pivot shaft to support the door
• Helps maintain door alignment so the gasket can seal properly
• Reduces wobble and scraping at the hinge point
• Typical failure symptoms: door sagging, misalignment, poor closing, or a loose/wobbly hinge

• Unplug the refrigerator and remove items from the door to reduce weight.
• Support the door; remove hinge cover and screws, then lift the door off the hinge.
• Replace the hinge pin in the hinge bracket; transfer any existing spacers/bushings as designed.
• Reinstall and align the door; tighten hardware and verify smooth operation and seal contact.

This spacer is a small positioning piece used in refrigerator assemblies to maintain proper clearance and alignment between parts. Replacing a worn or missing spacer helps restore smooth operation and prevents rubbing or binding. What it does:

• Maintains the designed gap between mating parts to prevent friction and wear
• Helps keep assemblies aligned for smooth, consistent movement
• Reduces looseness, rattling, or poor fit caused by a missing or deformed spacer
• Typical signs include visible damage or a missing spacer and misalignment or scraping noises in the area it installs

• 1 spacer

• Disconnect power; if working near water components, shut off the water supply
• Use your model's parts diagram to determine exact location and orientation
• Retain and reuse original fasteners or clips unless damaged
• Do not overtighten hardware; ensure smooth operation after installation

This E-ring is a small retaining clip used in Frigidaire refrigerators to hold components on a grooved shaft or pin. It keeps assemblies secure and operating smoothly by preventing parts from sliding off during normal use. What it does:

• Retains parts on a grooved shaft or pin to prevent axial movement
• Helps keep mechanisms aligned and reduces wobble or separation
• Common symptoms when missing or damaged: loose or fallen-off parts, scraping/rattling noises, or poor operation of the affected assembly

• 1 E-ring

• Unplug the refrigerator before servicing; wear eye protection (spring clips can snap)
• Use needle-nose pliers or an E-clip tool to compress and seat the ring in the groove
• Verify the ring is fully seated and flush in the groove before reassembly
• Keep any spacers/washers in the original order during removal and reinstallation

This ice cream shelf is the replacement shelf used in the freezer compartment to restore a stable surface for storing ice cream and similar containers. It helps keep frozen foods organized and prevents items from falling or tipping. What it does:

• Replaces a cracked, warped or missing ice cream shelf to restore usable storage space.
• Provides a flat, stable surface for tubs, cartons and other frozen items.
• Prevents containers from sliding or tipping between freezer compartments.
• Restores original shelf alignment so adjacent shelves and drawers fit properly.

• Remove all contents from the shelf area before installing to avoid spills or injury.
• Slide the shelf into the existing support grooves or brackets until fully seated; no special tools typically required.
• Inspect support rails or clips for damage and replace if worn to ensure a secure fit.
• If the shelf is glass, handle with care and wear gloves to prevent cuts.

This factory fastener secures appliance panels and components. Replace a missing, stripped, or corroded screw to restore a tight, rattle-free fit and keep brackets and covers properly aligned.

• Fastens panels, brackets, and internal parts as specified by the manufacturer
• Helps maintain alignment and reduces vibration/rattling
• Replace if the head is stripped, threads are damaged, or corrosion is present
• Symptoms include loose/missing hardware, gaps, or rattling during operation

• Disconnect power; shut off gas/water if applicable before servicing
• Use the correct driver/bit size to avoid stripping the head
• Start threads by hand to prevent cross-threading; do not overtighten
• Match screw length/thread to the location; replace in sets when required
