Kenmore Refrigerator 363.9631375 (3639631375, 363 9631375) Parts

This defrost thermostat monitors the evaporator coil temperature and controls power to the defrost heater. Replacing a failed thermostat restores proper defrosting, reduces frost buildup, and helps keep fresh food and freezer compartments cooling as designed.

• Senses evaporator temperature to open/close the defrost heater circuit at the correct point in the cycle
• Protects against overheating during defrost by interrupting power when the set temperature is reached
• Helps prevent heavy frost/ice accumulation on the evaporator and loss of airflow
• Common signs it may be bad: ice behind the freezer rear panel, warm refrigerator section, unit never defrosts or refreezes soon after a manual defrost

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Remove the freezer's rear panel to access the evaporator; the thermostat is typically clamped to an evaporator tube
• Match wire positions and mount the new thermostat in the same location with firm contact to the tubing
• Route wires away from the fan and sharp edges; reassemble and verify normal defrost operation

A replacement motor start/run capacitor that helps restore reliable motor starting and smooth operation for compressors and fans. Installing the correct capacitor can reduce hard-starts, humming and intermittent motor operation. What it does:

• Provides the temporary boost motors need to start and stabilize while running.
• Helps compressors and fan motors start more easily and run more efficiently.
• Commonly associated with symptoms like humming, motors that won't start, intermittent operation, or reduced cooling performance.
• Prevents repeated motor stress that can lead to overload trips or premature motor wear.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing electrical components.
• Discharge the capacitor and tag/photograph wire locations before removal to ensure correct reinstallation.
• Replace with the exact OEM part or an approved equivalent; do not bend or puncture the capacitor can.

8-18 CA HX 1/2 S

Size: 8-32 t. Includes 12 screws.

Replacement screw that secures panels, trim and internal brackets to keep appliance components stable and rattle-free. Use when originals are missing, stripped, or broken to restore proper fit and safe operation. What it does:

• Secures panels, control housings, trim and small brackets so parts stay aligned and stable.
• Replaces missing or damaged fasteners that cause rattling, vibration, or loose assemblies.
• Keeps electrical and mechanical components properly positioned for reliable operation.
• Intended as a direct replacement where the OEM screw specified for the application is required.

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before starting any repair.
• Use the correct screwdriver or bit and seat the screw squarely to avoid stripping the head or threads.
• Do not overtighten—stop when snug to prevent damage to panels or plastic components.
• Keep removed screws organized; replace only with the identical OEM screw for proper fit.

This is a replacement screw used to secure appliance components and panels so parts stay properly attached for safe operation. It's a direct-fit fastener matching OEM form and function. What it does

• Secures panels, trim, or internal components to prevent rattling or gaps
• Restores factory attachment where a screw is missing or stripped
• Helps maintain proper alignment of housing and service access
• Suitable when repair requires original-fit fasteners

• Disconnect power or unplug the appliance before servicing to avoid shock
• Use the matching screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head
• Thread carefully and avoid overtightening to prevent damage to threads or plastic parts
• Keep removed screws organized; replace only the screws that match the original locations

Includes 12 washers.

This screw secures panels and components on compatible GE appliances to restore proper fit and reduce vibration. Use it to replace a lost or stripped fastener and keep covers and brackets held firmly in place. What it does:

• Fastens access panels, trim pieces, or internal brackets to maintain proper alignment
• Stops rattling or vibration caused by missing or loose screws
• Restores secure mounting after repair or parts replacement
• Works where the appliance requires a short sheet-metal or machine screw for fastening

• Disconnect power to the appliance before removing panels or performing repairs.
• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head.
• Hand-start the screw to ensure proper threading; tighten until snug but avoid over-torquing.

The R134 Drier is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This component plays a critical role in the refrigeration system by removing moisture and contaminants from the refrigerant, ensuring efficient cooling and preventing damage to other parts of the system. It helps maintain the purity and effectiveness of the refrigerant as it cycles through the system.

You should replace the R134 drier if it becomes clogged or damaged. Common causes of a bad drier include wear and tear over time, exposure to moisture, or contamination from other failing components in the refrigeration system.

Symptoms of a bad R134 drier include:

• Reduced cooling efficiency
• Frost buildup on the evaporator coils
• Unusual noises from the refrigeration system
• Increased energy consumption
• Refrigerator not maintaining the set temperature

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

This power cord assembly supplies electrical power from the wall outlet to your refrigerator. Replace a cut, frayed, or overheated cord to restore safe, reliable operation and eliminate intermittent power loss caused by a damaged cord. What it does:

• Provides the electrical connection between the household outlet and the refrigerator's wiring
• Helps resolve no-power or intermittent power when the cord is moved
• Addresses visible damage such as cuts, cracks, fraying, or a melted/discolored plug
• Mitigates arcing, sparking, or a burning odor originating from the cord or plug area

• One power cord assembly

• Disconnect power by unplugging the unit or switching off the circuit breaker before servicing
• Pull the refrigerator forward for access; note the original cord routing and connections
• Install the new cord along the same path and secure any built-in strain relief; ensure the ground connection is properly seated
• Restore power and verify operation
