Kenmore Refrigerator 253.73074301 (25373074301, 253 73074301) Parts

Color: Black. Rubber. Holds tube/wire

This condenser tube spacer positions and secures the refrigerator's condenser tubing to maintain proper tube spacing and airflow. Replacing a worn or broken spacer helps reduce vibration, rattling, and rubbing that can damage tubing over time. What it does:

• Holds condenser tubing in the correct position to preserve airflow and cooling efficiency
• Cushions tubing to limit vibration and reduce rattling noises
• Prevents tubing from rubbing against the cabinet or other components, lowering wear risk
• Helps reduce the chance of tubing fatigue that can lead to damage

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing rear panels or condenser components.
• Handle condenser tubing gently; avoid kinking, bending, or putting stress on lines during installation.
• Installation may require removing the back or lower access panel to reach the condenser assembly.

This replacement tube routes water from the refrigerator's defrost area to the drain pan to help prevent leaks and pooling. A simple, direct-fit part for restoring proper drain flow and reducing water buildup. What it does

• Channels defrost and condensation water to the drain pan to prevent interior pooling.
• Helps maintain normal drainage to avoid ice buildup or water leaks.
• Restores a damaged, cracked or clogged original tube where flow is restricted.
• Works as a service part when inspecting drain path during defrost/drain issues.

• One replacement tube.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Remove access panels as needed and route tube along the factory path; avoid sharp bends or kinks.
• Inspect drain openings and heater components while replacing the tube.

This compressor start relay helps the refrigerator compressor start reliably so the appliance can maintain proper cooling. It replaces a failing start device to restore normal compressor startup behavior. What it does:

• Provides the initial boost to the compressor motor so it can start turning
• Commonly used when the compressor hums or won't start but power is present
• Can reduce repeated clicking or intermittent starts caused by a failed start device
• Works with the compressor's start circuit; does not replace sealed-system components

• One compressor start relay

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing electrical components
• Inspect associated start capacitor/overload if present; replace if faulty for reliable operation

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 genuine replacement screw secures panels and small components on select appliances, restoring fit and reducing rattles or loose parts. It's a direct-fit fastener where the original #8-18 x 3/8 screw is missing or worn. What it does:

• Fastens trim, panels or brackets to appliance frames and components
• Restores secure fit to stop rattling or misaligned parts
• Replaces stripped, rusted or missing screws that prevent proper assembly
• Matches original thread size and length for correct engagement

• Use the correct driver and engage threads straight to avoid stripping
• Do not overtighten; stop when the part is snug and secure
• Replace any damaged mating hardware for best fit
• Unplug the appliance or shut off power when accessing internal fasteners

This genuine replacement part is an evaporator used in refrigerators. The evaporator is the part that exchanges heat to cool the refrigerator. It is the component of the refrigerator that absorbs the heat from the air inside, turning it cool through absorption. If the refrigerator is no longer cooling properly, this could mean it's time for a new evaporator.This is a genuine replacement evaporator compatible with Frigidaire, Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Westinghouse brand refrigerators.

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 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 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

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
