Parts for Kenmore 253.86080411 (25386080411, 253 86080411): Room A / C Parts

This electronic control is the user interface and control board that manages oven functions, timers and temperature regulation to restore responsive controls and proper cooking cycles. Fits as the direct replacement control assembly. What it does:

• Replaces a faulty oven control board to restore display, keypad and timed functions.
• Manages temperature setpoints, bake/broil cycles and timed cooking operations.
• Commonly used when the display is blank, buttons are unresponsive, or oven fails to heat properly.
• Interfaces with sensors, switches and relays to coordinate heating elements and fans.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock risk.
• Handle the board by its edges; avoid touching components and connectors to prevent ESD damage.
• Verify connector orientation and secure all fasteners; ensure wiring harnesses are fully seated.

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

This temperature sensor (thermistor) monitors fresh food/freezer temperatures and sends readings to the refrigerator control board so the appliance maintains consistent cooling. Replaces a failed or intermittent sensor to restore accurate temperature control. What it does:

• Senses interior temperature and reports it to the control board
• Helps the compressor, fans and defrost system run at the correct times
• Common symptom: fridge or freezer temperatures are too warm or fluctuate
• Common symptom: unit runs constantly or cycles erratically
• Common symptom: inconsistent cooling between compartments

• One temperature sensor (thermistor)

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting any repairs
• Handle the sensor and wiring gently; avoid kinking or stretching the lead
• Verify connector pins align and seat fully; some models use a simple plug-in connector

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.

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

This window filler kit replaces the trim piece that fills the gap around an oven door/window, restoring a clean finished appearance and helping reduce heat and steam escape. Ideal for worn, damaged, or missing filler trim. What it does:

• Replaces missing or damaged filler trim around the oven door/window to restore a flush appearance
• Helps limit heat and steam escaping from the door area
• Reduces rattling or light movement caused by degraded or loose trim
• Improves the sealed look and protects underlying edges from wear

• Designed for simple replacement; remove the door trim or access panel per your model's service instructions
• Use basic hand tools; avoid forcing parts to prevent damage to the door assembly
• Follow manufacturer service manual for proper disassembly/reassembly and torque specs
• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting work and wear gloves to protect hands from sharp edges
