Kenmore Freezer 253.9203281 (2539203281, 253 9203281) Parts

A small metal clamp that secures the refrigerator's capillary (temperature sensing) tube to the cold control so the thermostat reads temperatures accurately. Replaces worn or missing clamps to keep the sensing tube stable and prevent movement-related issues. What it does:

• Holds the capillary/sensing tube firmly against the cold control or cabinet
• Helps maintain accurate thermostat sensing by preventing tube movement
• Reduces vibration or rattling from a loose sensing tube
• Stops intermittent temperature swings caused by a displaced capillary tube

• Disconnect power before servicing the appliance.
• Handle the capillary tube gently; avoid kinks or sharp bends.
• Install clamp over the tube and secure to the control or bracket using the factory hole or fastener; do not overtighten.

This drain tube insulation cushions and thermally protects the refrigerator's defrost drain tube to help prevent condensation and ice buildup. It keeps the drain line insulated so water flows freely to the drip pan and reduces drip/ice-related issues. What it does:

• Wraps around the defrost drain tube to limit heat transfer and condensation.
• Helps prevent drain freeze-ups that can cause water pooling or slow drainage.
• Reduces the chance of water dripping inside the cabinet or onto the floor.
• Supports reliable defrost water routing to the drain pan.

• Always unplug the appliance or disconnect power before servicing.
• Access may require removing the back or inside panel; keep track of fasteners.
• Slide the insulation over the drain tube so it fully covers the exposed section; ensure it sits flat without kinks.
• If corrosion or heavy buildup is present, clean the drain tube before installing new insulation.
