Kenmore Refrigerator 253.9768093 (2539768093, 253 9768093) Parts

Includes service line.

The Cold Control is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. This component regulates the temperature inside the refrigerator by controlling the operation of the compressor and the flow of refrigerant. It ensures that the interior remains at the desired temperature to keep food fresh. This temperature control thermostat features a 16" capillary tube. 

Over time, the cold control can become faulty due to regular wear and tear, electrical issues, or exposure to moisture. A malfunctioning cold control can result in temperature fluctuations and ineffective cooling.

Symptoms of a bad cold control include:

• The refrigerator not maintaining the correct temperature
• The compressor running continuously or not at all
• Frost buildup in the freezer compartment
• The refrigerator being too warm or too cold

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and some Kenmore models.

The Frigidaire Touch-Up Paint is white in color in a .6 fl oz bottle. For almond order 5303321320. For black order 5303321321.

The Touch Up Paint is an OEM part for Frigidaire appliances. Whether you're dealing with scratches, chips, or other minor cosmetic damage, this touch-up paint provides an easy and effective solution for maintaining the appearance of your appliance. It's designed to adhere well to metal surfaces, offering durability and resistance to further wear and tear.

Over time, appliances can accumulate minor surface damage from regular use, cleaning, and accidental impacts. Using the Touch Up Paint not only improves the aesthetic appeal of your appliance but also helps protect exposed areas from rust and corrosion, which can extend the life of the appliance.

Symptoms of needing Touch Up Paint include:

• Visible scratches or chips on the appliance's surface.
• Areas of rust or corrosion that need to be covered after treating the rust.
• The desire to maintain or improve the appliance's appearance for aesthetic reasons or to maintain its value.

This door-activated light switch controls the interior lamp in your refrigerator. Replace a worn or sticking switch to restore dependable lighting and prevent the bulb from staying on and warming the compartment when the door is closed.

This is the drive gear for the ice maker module. It transfers motor power to the ejector/harvest mechanism so cubes release consistently; worn or stripped teeth can cause clicking, stalls, or little to no ice production.

• Transfers motor torque to rotate the ejector and complete the harvest cycle
• Replaces a cracked, stripped, or worn gear that prevents proper ice ejection
• Typical symptoms: no ice production, icemaker stuck mid-cycle, clicking or grinding from the module
• Helps restore reliable ice maker cycling

• Unplug the refrigerator before service; turn off the water supply if moving the icemaker
• Remove the icemaker assembly for access; note the original gear's orientation before removal
• Align the new gear with the shaft; do not force it—inspect mating parts for wear
• After reassembly, verify the ejector turns freely; restore power and run a test cycle

This #10-32 x 3/4-inch machine screw secures appliance components such as panels, brackets, and handles. Using the correct length and thread helps restore a snug, rattle-free hold wherever this screw is specified by the manufacturer.

• Fastens components with a #10-32 machine thread and 3/4-inch length
• Helps keep panels, trim, brackets, or handles secured and aligned
• Replaces missing, stripped, or corroded hardware
• Common signs include loose or wobbly parts, rattling, missing screws, or damaged screw heads/threads
