Kenmore Refrigerator 253.9348720 (2539348720, 253 9348720) Parts

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.

This tube clamp secures small tubing and lines inside the appliance to prevent movement and reduce wear. It keeps hoses and tubes routed properly so they don't rub against sharp edges or vibrate during operation. What it does:

• Holds water, drain or refrigerant tubing in place to prevent sagging and chafing
• Reduces vibration and rattling from loose lines
• Helps prevent tubing wear that can lead to leaks or pinch damage
• Keeps hoses routed neatly for reliable appliance operation

• Disconnect power and shut off water supply before beginning any repair
• Remove any access panels needed to reach the clamp location; use caution around sharp sheet metal
• Replace only the damaged clamp with the same style and secure tubing firmly but without over-tightening
• If tubing shows damage where it was rubbing, replace or repair the tubing before reinstalling the clamp
