Kenmore Refrigerator 253.70742401 (25370742401, 253 70742401) Parts

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 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.

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 spring-style hose clamp secures flexible appliance hoses and helps prevent leaks by holding hose ends tightly to fittings. Reliable, low-profile design for use on drain, water, or vent hoses where a strong, consistent grip is needed. What it does:

• Provides a spring-tensioned grip to keep hoses seated on fittings and reduce leaks
• Commonly used on flexible drain or water hoses and small vent lines
• Helps maintain proper connection under normal vibration and thermal cycling
• Replaces worn, stretched, or corroded clamps that no longer hold tension

• One spring hose clamp (exact quantity as sold)

• Use pliers to expand the clamp, slide into position, then release to seat on the fitting
• Inspect hose ends and fittings for wear; replace hose if damaged before installing clamp
• Wear eye protection when compressing the clamp; keep fingers clear of the clamp's edges
• Tighten only as needed—over-compressing can damage the hose

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
