Kenmore Refrigerator 253.56974600 (25356974600, 253 56974600) Parts

This solenoid actuator is the electromechanical device that moves a latch or linkage when energized, restoring the appliance's intended mechanical action. It provides a direct replacement to re-enable reliable actuation. What it does:

• Converts electrical signal into a mechanical push or pull to operate a latch, door, dispenser or linkage
• Commonly used where a timed or motor-driven movement is needed during a cycle
• Symptoms this part can cause: appliance fails to actuate a door, latch, dispenser or similar mechanism when called for
• Replacing a worn or failed actuator restores proper mechanical response to control signals

• One solenoid actuator

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning work to avoid shock or unintended actuation
• Remove any panels or trim as needed to access the actuator; note wire and mounting locations for reassembly
• Reconnect wiring and test the function on a short cycle after installation

Replaces damaged or worn refrigerator wiring harness. Restores electrical connections between components. Order this part if your harness is frayed or broken.

Bearing plate for refrigerators. Provides structural support for rotating components. Replace if cracked, warped, or damaged to restore stability.

Refrigerator not cooling or running too warm? A faulty thermostat prevents proper temperature regulation. This control cycles the compressor to maintain set temps.

Replacement screw for various appliances. Used to secure panels, components, or housing. Replace if stripped, corroded, missing, or damaged hardware.

This ice ejector is the plastic arm that pushes cubes out of the ice maker mold and into the ice bin, restoring proper ice ejection and dispenser function. It's a direct-replacement component for affected ice maker assemblies. What it does:

• Physically strips and pushes formed ice cubes from the mold into the bin or dispenser
• Helps restore normal ice dispensing when cubes remain stuck in the mold
• Works with the ice maker's motor/gear train to time ejection during the harvest cycle
• Commonly replaced when the ejector is broken, cracked, or worn and no longer contacts cubes

• One ice ejector (ejector arm)

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before starting any repairs
• Remove the ice maker/cover or access panel as required to reach the ejector
• Inspect related components (drive gear, motor, and mounting pins) for wear while replacing the ejector
• After installation, run a test harvest/dispense cycle to correct operation

Replaces your refrigerator's ice maker cover if cracked, broken, or missing. This protective cap installs on the ice maker assembly in your freezer.

Front housing cover for refrigerator control box assembly. Mounts in food compartment with light and damper. Replace if cracked, broken, or damaged.

Mounting plate secures the ice maker assembly inside your refrigerator. Replace if cracked, warped, or broken to restore proper ice maker support.

This is a Plazcrew #8-10 screw used to fasten appliance panels, trim and components. It replaces lost or damaged screws to restore secure fit and reduce rattling or loose parts. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets, trim pieces and small appliance components
• Restores proper alignment and prevents vibration-related noise
• Replaces missing or stripped fasteners that cause loose or wobbly parts
• Matches OEM fit for repair and maintenance where this screw is specified

• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety procedures before working
• Use the correct sized screwdriver or driver bit to avoid stripping the head
• Tighten until snug; do not overtighten to prevent thread or component damage
• Keep small parts away from children and work over a tray to avoid loss

Secures water, drain, and refrigerant tubing to prevent movement and wear. Replace if tubes are loose, vibrating, or damaged. Verify fit with model number.

This is a replacement mounting screw used to secure the defrost timer assembly to the refrigerator control housing, restoring proper fastening and preventing the timer from shifting or vibrating during operation. What it does:

• Secures the defrost timer to the control housing so the timer stays in position.
• Prevents vibration or movement that can cause intermittent contact or noisy operation.
• Helps maintain reliable defrost cycle timing by keeping the timer properly aligned.
• Addresses symptoms such as a loose or missing fastener, rattling behind the control panel, or a timer that shifts when the door is opened.

• Unplug the appliance before starting work to prevent electrical shock.
• Access the control housing or timer bracket per your model's service instructions.
• Use the correct screwdriver or driver bit; do not overtighten—stop when snug to avoid stripping.
• Retain removed hardware for reference and compare screw length/threads before installing.

Defrost drain trough for side-by-side refrigerators. Channels water from the freezer evaporator to the drain tube. Replace if cracked or broken.

Wiring harness that connects to the refrigerator door facade panel. Replace if harness is damaged, broken, or missing to restore electrical connections.
