Parts for Kenmore 253.16082104 (25316082104, 253 16082104): System Parts

Includes service line.

Secures the compressor to the chassis, reducing movement and noise. Replace if your compressor shifts or rattles during operation. Confirm fit with model.

Rubber mounting grommet that cushions and isolates the compressor from the chassis. Replace if cracked, worn, or missing to restore proper support.

Freezer not cooling or running constantly? This compressor kit circulates refrigerant through the system. Advanced repair requires refrigerant handling.

This controller is the appliance's electronic control board. It manages key cooling functions and restores normal operation when the original board fails, helping the unit maintain stable performance and temperature. What it does

• Directs power to compressor and fan motors to regulate cooling cycles
• Interprets inputs from sensors/controls to maintain target temperature
• Coordinates system operations for consistent performance
• Common failure symptoms include no cooling, intermittent cooling, constant running, or unresponsive controls

• 1 controller

• Disconnect power before servicing; observe ESD precautions when handling the board
• Photograph wiring and note connector orientation before removal
• Mount the new board securely and reconnect all harnesses fully seated
• Restore power and monitor operation; allow time for temperatures to stabilize

Replacement mounting clip for freezers and refrigerators. Secures interior panels and trim to prevent rattling. Replaces broken or missing clips.

Hex washer head screw secures hinges, panels, and trim to your freezer or refrigerator. Replace missing, stripped, or corroded screws for stable parts.

This capacitor stores and releases electrical energy to help the refrigerator's compressor start and run smoothly. Replacing a weak or failed capacitor can restore reliable compressor startup and more consistent cooling performance.

• Provides the electrical boost/phase shift needed for compressor motor startup and steady operation
• Works with the start device to deliver proper current to the compressor
• Failure symptoms can include clicking or humming near the compressor, poor cooling, or short cycling
• May cause the compressor not to start after power interruptions when weak or failed

• Disconnect power before servicing any electrical component
• Safely discharge the capacitor before handling; avoid touching terminals
• Note wire positions and terminal markings; transfer leads one at a time to the matching terminals
• Secure the capacitor in its mounting/bracket to prevent vibration damage

This is the electronic control board that governs the appliance's cooling system. It interprets sensor input and user settings to run key components, helping maintain consistent temperatures when the original controller becomes faulty or erratic.

• Monitors temperature sensor feedback and executes cooling cycles to hold the selected setpoint
• Controls major components on applicable models
• May manage additional functions like defrost timing or alarms depending on model design
• Failure can present as warm or unstable temperatures, unit not starting, short-cycling/running constantly, or unresponsive temperature adjustments

• Disconnect power before service; observe ESD precautions and handle the board by its edges
• Note wire/plug locations; transfer connectors to the new board one at a time
• Secure the board in its mounting and ensure all harnesses are fully seated
• Reassemble covers/panels before restoring power and checking operation

A temperature sensing device located inside the freezer compartment that monitors and reports temperature to the control system. Replace when the freezer runs constantly, fails to maintain proper temperature, or displays temperature error codes.
