Kenmore Refrigerator 253.74814404 (25374814404, 253 74814404) Parts

This micro switch detects door or lid position and tells the appliance when the door is closed so cycles can start or safety interlocks stay engaged. It restores reliable door sensing and helps prevent operation with the door open. What it does:

• Acts as a position sensor that completes or breaks the control circuit when the door/lid is closed or opened
• Keeps the appliance from starting or continuing a cycle if the door is open (safety interlock)
• Common symptom fix: appliance won't start, stops mid-cycle, or shows door-related error codes
• Small electrical switch designed to mount at the door latch or frame and connect to the appliance wiring harness

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before attempting service
• Access may require removing panels, trim, or the door latch assembly; keep track of screws and fasteners
• Observe wiring orientation and connector positions; replace exactly as removed or tag wires

Supports the compressor on the refrigerator's rear base. Replace if cracked, broken, or worn to keep compressor properly seated and reduce vibration damage.

Rubber grommet that mounts and cushions the compressor to reduce vibration transfer. Replace if cracked, worn, or missing to restore quiet operation.

Black rubber mounting grommet that secures tubes and wires in your refrigerator. Replace if cracked, worn, or missing to properly hold components in place.

Replacement screw for securing panels, components, and assemblies in appliances. Needed when original screws are stripped, lost, or damaged during repair.

Seals the evaporator coil cover to prevent air bypass and direct cold air over coils. Replace if worn or damaged to restore airflow and reduce frost.

Secures panels, trim, and brackets inside your refrigerator. Replace this #8-18 x 3/8 screw if the original is missing, stripped, or worn.

Freezer not freezing or fridge too warm? The evaporator coil absorbs heat to cool your refrigerator. Professional installation recommended for this repair.

Refrigerator clicking but not cooling? A faulty compressor start relay prevents startup. This part restores reliable compressor operation. DIY repair.

Secures tubes and wiring in your refrigerator. Replace if clips are broken or connections are loose. Confirm fit with your model number.

Bisque-colored plug insert for refrigerator control panels. Replaces missing, cracked, or discolored button plugs to restore a clean appearance.

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

Ice maker not shutting off or making too much ice? A worn lever arm prevents proper shutoff. Simple replacement takes under an hour to restore function.

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.

Leveling bracket that mounts and supports the ice maker assembly inside your refrigerator. Replace if bracket is cracked, broken, or missing.
