Kenmore Refrigerator 253.70532401 (25370532401, 253 70532401) Parts

This temperature control knob replaces a worn or broken fridge temperature dial so you can set the refrigerator temperature accurately. It restores a solid grip and clear pointer for reliable, easy adjustments. What it does:

• Fits onto the temperature control shaft to select colder or warmer settings
• Provides a clear pointer for precise temperature selection
• Replaces cracked, stripped, or missing knobs that make adjustments difficult
• Helps eliminate loose or slipping knob operation

• One temperature control knob

• Push-fit installation onto the control shaft; no special tools typically required
• Ensure power is off and remove food before working in the appliance for safety
• Inspect the control shaft for damage; replace the control if the shaft is stripped

This control box is the refrigerator's electronic control board that regulates key functions like temperature control, defrost cycles and user interface responses. Replacing a faulty board restores consistent operation and control of affected systems. What it does:

• Monitors and controls compressor and fan operation to maintain set temperatures
• Manages timed defrost cycles and related heater/relay functions
• Interprets user inputs from the control panel and sends commands to components
• Helps resolve symptoms such as unresponsive controls, incorrect temperature display, or irregular cooling cycles

• One control box (electronic control board)

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting service to avoid shock or damage
• Handle the board by its edges and avoid touching circuitry; use ESD precautions if available
• Verify connectors and harness routing match the replacement before fastening

This replacement fan shroud screw secures the evaporator/condenser fan shroud to the appliance, helping keep the fan assembly stable for proper airflow and quiet operation. Use it to replace stripped or missing mounting hardware. What it does:

• Secures the fan shroud or mounting bracket to the appliance cabinet or fan assembly
• Helps prevent fan wobble, rubbing, and airflow disruption caused by a loose shroud
• Restores proper clearance between fan blades and shroud to reduce noise and wear

• High-level replacement—remove power to the appliance before starting work
• Use appropriate-size driver to avoid stripping the screw head
• Inspect surrounding hardware and shroud for damage; replace any damaged parts before reassembly

This foam insulation block helps fill gaps and reduce heat transfer inside the refrigerator cabinet to maintain proper cooling and reduce frost/condensation. It restores the designed insulation barrier where the original piece is damaged or missing. What it does:

• Replaces a damaged or missing foam block that seals internal gaps in the cabinet or behind panels
• Helps prevent warm air infiltration that can cause poor cooling or excess frost
• Reduces condensation and moisture buildup around the evaporator area or panel seams
• Supports consistent temperature performance by restoring insulation continuity

• One foam insulation block

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Access location may require removing interior panels or shelves; handle panels and clips carefully
• Install in the exact position and orientation of the original part; use any existing adhesive or fasteners as required
• If adhesive is needed, use only appliance-safe adhesives compatible with foam and follow manufacturer guidance

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
