Kenmore Refrigerator 253.78974800 (25378974800, 253 78974800) Parts

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

This door stop is the replacement limiter that keeps an appliance door from over-rotating, protecting hinges and cabinet edges. It restores consistent door travel and helps the door close smoothly and securely. What it does:

• Limits how far the door opens to prevent hinge or cabinet damage
• Helps the door close in the correct position and reduces slamming
• Fits into the door/hinge assembly to provide a stable stop point
• Common symptom: door opens too far, bangs against surrounding cabinetry, or hang/align issues

• High-level replacement — remove door/hinge trim as needed per your model's instructions
• Use basic hand tools; keep fasteners separate and note orientation for reassembly
• Disconnect power if working near electrical components (applies to ovens/microwaves)

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.
