Kenmore Refrigerator 253.68883011 (25368883011, 253 68883011) Parts

A wiring harness that routes power and signals between a refrigerator's internal electrical components, helping lights, controls, fans and motors operate correctly. Replacing a damaged harness restores reliable electrical connectivity and reduces risk of intermittent faults. What it does:

• Routes power and signal connections between the control board, lights, motors, sensors and other internal components.
• Common visible issues include frayed insulation, broken or loose connectors, or heat damage at terminals.
• Replacing a faulty harness helps eliminate wiring-related faults that can cause component failures or safety concerns.

• Always disconnect power (unplug appliance or shut off circuit breaker) before inspecting or replacing the harness.
• Match connector shapes and pin counts; route the harness along the original path and avoid tight bends or pinch points.
• Secure with the existing clips or ties; replace damaged clips or protective insulation as needed.

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

Here is a replacement shelf support grommet that is used in freezers and refrigerators. The grommets are used to provide stability for the shelves in the refrigerator. If they are broken or missing, the shelves will not sit correctly, and owners won't be able to put anything onto the shelves. A replacement grommet should slide into place, but may need to be gently tapped to ensure a proper seal is made.The shelf support grommet is for use with certain refrigerator models from Frigidaire, Kenmore, Gibson, and Crosley. This is a genuine OEM replacement part that was sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is important to note that the grommets are sold individually. If more than one is needed, owners will need to order multiple.

Optional flexible ice tray for those that dont have an icemaker

• Replaces missing, worn, or corroded screws that cause loose or rattling parts
• Helps maintain alignment and stability after service

• Unplug the appliance; shut off water if applicable
• Match thread size to the original and start by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Use the correct driver; do not overtighten, especially into plastic
• Verify component alignment and operation after fastening

• Thread size: #8-32
• Length: 3/8 inch

This control box wiring harness routes power and signals between the appliance control board and other components to restore reliable control operation and electrical connectivity. It helps resolve intermittent controls and lost function caused by damaged wiring. What it does:

• Connects the control board to switches, sensors and motors to enable normal control functions.
• Replaces damaged or frayed wiring that can cause intermittent operation or unresponsive controls.
• Addresses symptoms such as control panel not responding, random shutdowns, or error codes tied to wiring faults.
• Restores proper signal and power routing when connector damage or wire breaks interrupt circuits.

• Disconnect all power to the appliance before beginning any service.
• Compare the new harness to the original and follow factory connector positions and routing to avoid pin miswiring or chafing.
• Handle connectors gently and ensure all terminals fully seat; inspect mating connectors for damage before reconnecting.
