Kenmore Refrigerator 253.58082897 (25358082897, 253 58082897) Parts

A replacement refrigerator light socket that holds and connects the interior bulb so the light turns on when the door opens. Restores reliable interior lighting for easier food visibility and maintenance. What it does:

• Holds the interior refrigerator bulb and provides the electrical connection to power the lamp
• Replaces a cracked, burned, loose or intermittently working socket
• Helps stop flickering, arcing, or loss of interior light due to a damaged holder
• Works with the refrigerator's existing wiring and bulb type

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Handle the bulb carefully; remove it before replacing the socket
• Verify proper wire connections and secure mounting; restore power and test the light after installation

This rubber grommet cushions and seals appliance components to reduce vibration and prevent wear where wiring, rods or panels pass through mounting openings. It helps keep parts aligned and protects against chafing and noise. What it does:

• Cushions and isolates vibration between moving parts and chassis
• Protects wiring, tubes or rods from rubbing and abrasion at mounting holes
• Helps reduce noise caused by contact or metal-on-metal vibration
• Aids in maintaining proper part alignment and secure fit

• Grommet

• Inspect mating hole and surrounding area for debris or sharp edges before installing
• Fit the grommet into the mounting hole so the flange seats evenly on both sides
• Replace any damaged or excessively worn grommets to restore protection
• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety procedures before attempting service

This rubber compressor mounting grommet cushions and isolates the compressor to reduce vibration and noise that can transfer to the cabinet. It helps maintain stable compressor positioning for quieter, smoother operation. What it does:

• Absorbs compressor vibration to lower noise and rattling
• Dampens movement that can cause abrasion or wear on mounting hardware
• Helps maintain proper alignment of the compressor assembly
• Common symptom: excessive buzzing, vibration, or rattling from the back of the appliance

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before servicing.
• Support the compressor before removing mounts to prevent shifting or damage.
• Inspect surrounding mounts and hardware; replace any worn or damaged pieces.

This is a factory-style replacement screw used to secure appliance components. It restores proper fastening where the original screw is missing, stripped, or damaged so panels and assemblies stay firmly attached. What it does:

• Fastens panels, brackets, or components to the appliance frame or assemblies
• Replaces missing or damaged mounting hardware that can cause rattles or loose parts
• Provides the correct fit and thread engagement for a secure connection
• Helps maintain appliance alignment and safe operation

• Use the matching screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head
• Tighten until snug; do not over-torque to prevent thread or part damage
• Turn off power and remove any access panels before working on electrical components

This cantilever shelf clip secures a refrigerator cantilever shelf in place so shelves stay level and stable. It replaces a cracked or missing clip to restore proper shelf support and prevent shifting or slippage. What it does:

• Holds the cantilever shelf bracket/tier in the refrigerator liner to keep the shelf properly positioned
• Prevents shelf from tipping, sliding, or falling when items are placed on it
• Replaces worn, cracked, or broken clips that no longer grip the shelf brackets
• Works with standard cantilever-style shelving systems used in many refrigerators

• One cantilever shelf clip

• Remove food and glass shelves/trim as needed for safe access before replacing the clip
• Align clip with the shelf bracket slot and press firmly until it snaps into place; do not force beyond normal fit
• Handle glass shelves carefully to avoid breakage; wear gloves and eye protection if needed

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

This control rod bracket secures the control rod to the appliance, restoring proper linkage and part alignment for reliable operation. Designed to replace a worn or broken mounting bracket and stabilize control movement. What it does:

• Holds the control rod in place so levers and linkages operate smoothly
• Restores proper alignment when the rod is loose, bent, or detached
• Helps eliminate binding or intermittent actuator movement caused by a damaged bracket
• Supports consistent mechanical operation of the connected control components

• One control rod mounting bracket

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Remove any panels or covers as needed to access the bracket; keep fasteners organized for reassembly
• Inspect adjacent linkage and fasteners; replace any damaged clips or screws for a secure fit

This temperature control thermostat regulates refrigerator cooling by cycling the compressor and fans to maintain set temperatures. Replaces a faulty thermostat to restore proper temperature control and more consistent cooling. What it does

• Senses cabinet temperature and closes or opens the electrical circuit to run the compressor and cooling system
• Helps maintain steady temperatures so food stays properly chilled or frozen
• Commonly replaces a thermostat that causes the unit to run constantly, not run at all, or fail to reach set temperatures
• Works with the fridge's control assembly to respond to user temperature adjustments

• One temperature control thermostat

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Locate the thermostat behind the control knob or panel; refer to your model's service manual for exact access
• Handle the capillary tube and sensor bulb carefully to avoid kinks or damage
