Kenmore Refrigerator 253.77179509 (25377179509, 253 77179509) Parts

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 replacement mounting screw secures components and panels in refrigerators and freezers, restoring proper fit and stopping loose or rattling parts. Use when original screws are missing, stripped, or damaged. What it does:

• Fastens trim, panels, brackets or small components to the appliance frame
• Restores secure attachment to stop rattling or intermittent contact
• Replaces stripped, corroded, or missing screws to prevent parts from shifting
• Simple, direct replacement that matches the original mounting point

• Use the matching driver bit to avoid stripping the screw head
• Tighten until snug; do not overtighten to prevent thread damage
• Disconnect power to affected appliance areas before servicing if panels expose wiring
• If threads are damaged, replace the mating nut or tapped insert as needed

This mechanical temperature control thermostat replaces the factory temperature sensing switch to restore proper refrigerator temperature regulation. It helps the appliance maintain set temperatures for safe food storage and normal cooling performance. What it does:

• Senses cabinet temperature and opens/closes the cooling circuit to regulate compressor run time.
• Commonly used when the refrigerator runs constantly or cycles too quickly.
• Works as the user-adjustable temperature control for manual-style refrigerator controls.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Handle the sensing bulb/capillary tube gently; avoid kinks or sharp bends.
• Verify correct placement of the sensing bulb in the evaporator/probe clip per OEM location.

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.

A replacement clamp that secures flexible hoses or tubing to fittings to help prevent leaks and keep connections tight. Fits where a small spring-style or band clamp is used on water or drain hoses. What it does

• Holds hoses or small tubing firmly to appliance fittings to maintain a sealed connection
• Helps stop leaks and reduce movement that can wear or disconnect hoses
• Commonly used on drain and water line connections where a compact clamp is needed
• Works with flexible rubber or plastic hose materials; choose correct size for a secure fit

• One clamp

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before beginning work
• Drain residual water from hoses to avoid spills
• Use appropriate pliers or a screwdriver depending on clamp type; avoid over-tightening
• Inspect hose ends and fittings for damage and replace any worn components for a reliable seal
