Kenmore Refrigerator 253.68882014 (25368882014, 253 68882014) Parts

This replacement rear compressor base roller supports the refrigerator compressor on the cabinet rear base, helping keep the compressor properly seated and reducing wear from vibration and movement. What it does

• Provides a rolling support under the compressor to keep it aligned and off the cabinet floor
• Helps reduce vibration and rattling that can occur from a loose or worn compressor mount
• Prevents compressor body from dragging or scraping the cabinet base
• Commonly replaced when the roller is cracked, worn flat, missing, or causing noise

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any work
• Support or secure the compressor and cabinet before removing the old roller to avoid sudden movement
• Basic hand tools usually required; inspect mounting hardware and replace any damaged fasteners
• Do not attempt sealed-system repairs.

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.

Color: Black. Rubber. Holds tube/wire

A molded gasket that seals the evaporator coil cover to reduce air bypass and help direct cold air over the coils for more consistent cooling. Replaces a worn or damaged seal to help restore proper airflow and reduce frost buildup. What it does:

• Seals the evaporator coil cover to prevent warm air from bypassing the coil
• Helps maintain proper airflow for consistent cooling performance
• Reduces frost or ice buildup caused by air leaks around the coil cover
• Prevents condensation and dripping by keeping air where it belongs

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical shock
• Thaw any frost/ice accumulation and remove the evaporator access cover per manufacturer instructions
• Clean mating surfaces, then press the seal into place ensuring a full, even fit around the cover

This plug seals an unused hole in an appliance cabinet or inner liner to help block drafts, pests and moisture. It restores a clean, finished appearance and prevents accidental debris entry where a fitting or fastener is not used. What it does:

• Seals unused openings in the appliance cabinet or liner to keep out dust, moisture and pests
• Helps prevent air leaks that can affect temperature stability in refrigerators and freezers
• Covers exposed holes left after removing or relocating components or fasteners
• Restores a finished look to access areas and reduces risk of small-item ingress

• One cabinet sealing plug

• Push the plug into the hole until fully seated; no special tools usually required
• Turn off and unplug the appliance before reaching into compartments or behind panels
• Inspect the hole and plug for correct fit; replace if cracked or deformed

Color: Black/natural. Nylon

This drain tube routes defrost and condensation water from the freezer compartment to the drain pan so moisture drains away cleanly and prevents pooling. Replaces a cracked, clogged or disconnected drain line. What it does:

• Channels defrost and condensation water out of the freezer to the drain system
• Prevents water pooling inside the freezer or refrigerator compartment
• Helps avoid leaks onto the floor when the original tube is cracked, pinched or disconnected
• Works with the appliance's drain trough and drain pan to maintain normal defrost drainage

• One drain tube

• Disconnect power before servicing and work with a cooled appliance to avoid burns
• Access may require removing interior panels or kickplate; handle panels and clips carefully
• Inspect and clear any debris or ice from the drain trough before installing the new tube
• Ensure the tube is routed without sharp bends or kinks and is securely seated at both ends

This heat exchanger suction line kit replaces a damaged or corroded suction line assembly to restore proper refrigerant flow and heat transfer in the cooling system. It helps maintain consistent compartment temperatures and system efficiency. What it does:

• Transfers heat from the refrigerant suction line so the compressor and evaporator operate correctly
• Replaces cracked, kinked, or corroded tubing that can cause refrigerant loss or reduced cooling
• Helps address symptoms such as warm or inconsistent temperatures, visible oil or residue at fittings, or abnormal frost/ice patterns
• Restores a sealed refrigerant path after tubing damage or when corrosion has compromised the line

• Intended for qualified service technicians only; system access requires certified refrigerant handling
• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing and follow all safety precautions
• Installation may require brazing, flare fittings, or specialty tools; verify leak-tight connections and pressure-test per OEM procedures
• Evacuate and recharge the refrigerant system to OEM specifications after installation

This hex head screw secures panels, brackets, and small components on appliances, restoring proper fit and stability. It's a direct replacement fastener when an original mounting screw is missing, loose, or damaged. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets, trim, and internal components to prevent rattling or movement
• Replaces stripped, missing, or damaged mounting screws that cause loose parts or misalignment
• Restores reliable mechanical fastening so doors and panels sit flush and operate correctly
• Works as a general-purpose appliance mounting screw when original fasteners are worn

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Match the screw to the original location and thread engagement; start by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Use the correct driver or socket for the hex head and tighten until snug—do not overtighten
• If the original hole or threads are damaged, repair or replace the mating hardware before installing the screw

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.
