Parts for Kenmore 253.86080312 (25386080312, 253 86080312): Recommended Spare Parts

Front panel for room air conditioner units. Replaces cracked, broken, or damaged decorative panels. Installs on exterior housing for finished appearance.

Fix a unit that beeps and shuts off after 3 seconds, or temperature settings that increase by themselves. This control board replacement takes 30-45 minutes.

Air conditioner won't turn on? A damaged power cord may be the issue. This replacement cord restores electrical connection. Simple plug-in repair.

Replace your lost, cracked, or non-responsive room air conditioner remote control. This handheld unit lets you adjust settings from across the room.

Air conditioner not responding to controls or won't turn on? This electronic control board manages all functions. Moderate difficulty repair, 30-45 minutes.

This thermistor temperature sensor monitors refrigerator compartment temperature and helps the control board maintain proper cooling. Replacing a failed sensor restores accurate temperature readings for reliable cooling performance. What it does:

• Measures internal air or evaporator temperature and sends the signal to the control board
• Can cause incorrect temperature display or poor cooling when it fails
• May trigger frequent compressor cycles or extended run time if readings are wrong
• Commonly linked to fridge running too warm or inconsistent temperatures

• One temperature sensor (thermistor) as shown

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical shock
• Handle the sensor and connector gently; do not stretch or kink the wires
• Install in the exact mounting location and orientation used by the OEM for accurate readings

Fix inconsistent cooling in your air conditioner with this temperature sensor. Restores accurate temperature control when the thermostat fails to respond.

A replacement start/run capacitor that helps the refrigerator's motor(s) get up to speed for reliable cooling and circulation. Restores proper motor starting when the original capacitor has failed. What it does:

• Provides the electrical boost needed for compressor and fan motors to start and run smoothly
• Commonly replaced when motors hum, fail to start, or fridge cooling is inconsistent
• Helps prevent motor overloads and repeated hard-start cycling when functioning correctly
• Matches the original part's role in the appliance's electrical starting circuit

• Disconnect power to the appliance at the breaker before servicing
• Discharge the capacitor before touching terminals to avoid shock; use insulated tools
• Verify terminal orientation and secure wire connections; do not force fit

This evaporator coil assembly removes heat from the refrigerator's air, helping the appliance maintain proper cooling. Replacing a worn or damaged evaporator restores the system's ability to freeze and keep food at safe temperatures. What it does:

• Circulates refrigerant through the coil to absorb heat from inside the freezer and refrigerator compartments.
• Helps maintain stable cooling; a failed evaporator can cause warm compartments or inconsistent temperatures.
• Icing or heavy frost on the evaporator often leads to reduced airflow and cooling performance.
• Works with the appliance's fan and defrost system to evenly distribute cold air.

• One evaporator coil assembly

• Disconnect power before servicing and follow all safety precautions for electrical and refrigerant systems.
• Handle the coil carefully to avoid bending fins or damaging tubing.
• Replacement may require access through the freezer liner and removal of other components.

Fix an air conditioner that won't cool or makes loud noises with this compressor. Advanced repair requiring refrigerant handling and electrical work.

Fix an air conditioner that won't start or stops running unexpectedly with this overload protector. Prevents compressor damage from electrical overload.

This condenser coil removes heat from the refrigerant so your refrigerator can cool properly. Replacing a damaged or clogged condenser restores efficient heat transfer and helps the compressor run less often. What it does:

• Releases heat from the refrigerant to the surrounding air so the cooling cycle can continue
• Helps the compressor maintain proper operating temperature and system pressure
• Reduces strain on the cooling system when clean and undamaged
• Common symptom: refrigerator or freezer running continuously or failing to reach set temperature

• One condenser coil

• Disconnect power before beginning any service
• Access typically requires removing the rear or lower access panel; follow your model's service manual
• Take care handling fins and tubing; sharp edges can cause injury or damage

Weak airflow or no cooling from your air conditioner? The blower wheel circulates air through the unit. Moderate DIY repair in 30-45 minutes.

Structural support bracket for room air conditioners. Secures and stabilizes the unit in the window frame. Replace if bent, cracked, or missing.

Replaces missing or damaged side panel trim that fills gaps around your window air conditioner. Restores a finished look and blocks drafts.

Mounting hardware kit for room air conditioners. Includes screws, brackets, and fasteners needed to securely install your unit in the window frame.

Replace your air conditioner filter drier to remove moisture and contaminants from the refrigerant system. Install when servicing the cooling system. Verify fit with your model number.
