Kenmore Refrigerator 253.78973802 (25378973802, 253 78973802) Parts

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.

Replacement screw for securing refrigerator panels, brackets, and trim. Restores proper fit and reduces rattling from loose or missing fasteners.

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

Secures refrigerator hoses to fittings with spring tension to prevent leaks. Replace when clamp loses grip or shows rust. Verify fit with model number.

Foam seal tape creates airtight barriers around refrigerator components. Replace when worn, compressed, or damaged to restore proper sealing and efficiency.

Small plastic push button for refrigerator control panels. Replaces cracked, worn, or missing buttons to restore tactile control and complete appearance.

Replacement mounting screw for refrigerator panels, trim, and brackets. Needed when original screws are missing, stripped, or damaged during repairs.

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

Secures the compressor to the chassis, reducing movement and noise. Replace if your compressor shifts or rattles during operation. Confirm fit with model.

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 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.

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.

Hex head screw that secures panels, brackets, and internal components in refrigerators and appliances. Replace when missing, stripped, or damaged.
