Parts for Kenmore 253.28052807 (25328052807, 253 28052807): System Parts

Aluminum strap secures the defrost heater against the evaporator coil. Replace if broken, cracked, or missing to maintain proper heater contact.

Includes service line.

Fixes ice buildup on evaporator coils and restores proper airflow. This defrost heater melts frost during the defrost cycle to maintain cooling performance.

Freezer won't stay cold or runs too cold? A faulty heat exchanger disrupts refrigerant flow. Requires professional brazing and refrigerant recharge.

Freezer not cooling or running constantly? The evaporator may have failed. Professional installation recommended due to refrigerant system work.

The EVAPORATOR INSULATOR is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It is a heat-resistant insulating pad or wrap that surrounds the evaporator coils. The insulator works to retain cool air and prevent warmer air from entering the refrigerated compartment.  

Causes of a bad insulator can include deterioration or breakdown of insulating properties over time due to aging materials. Cracks, holes, or compressed sections of the insulator result in reduced insulation performance.

Symptoms of a bad evaporator insulator include:

• Inconsistently cool or warmer fridge temperatures 
• Frost or ice buildup on evaporator coils or surrounding areas
• Higher than normal electric bills from inefficient cooling
• Warm or cold spots inside refrigerator shelves and compartments

This OEM Frigidaire replacement insulator is compatible with some Kitchenaid, Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator models. 

Freezer runs constantly or has frost buildup? The defrost thermostat regulates temperature to prevent ice on coils. DIY-friendly repair in 1-2 hours.

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

This compressor with mounting clip is the sealed refrigeration compressor assembly that circulates refrigerant to keep your refrigerator cold. Replacing a failed compressor restores the system's ability to cool when repairable. What it does:

• Compresses refrigerant vapor to maintain proper cooling cycle; primary sealed-system pump.
• Commonly linked to symptoms like no cooling, refrigerator runs but temperature rises, or compressor not cycling.
• Works as the sealed-system component; requires correct match to refrigerant and system specifications.

• One compressor assembly with mounting clip as shown.

• Replacement involves sealed-system work.
• Disconnect power before starting; follow all electrical safety practices.
• Use proper tools and gaskets/hoses; pressure-test and leak-check after repair.

The Compressor Controller is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It is a component responsible for monitoring and regulating the compressor.

The controller allows the compressor to operate efficiently based on temperature inputs from sensors located throughout the refrigerator and freezer compartments. It controls compressor cycling intervals based on sensor readings in order to maintain optimal cooling.

Symptoms of a faulty controller include:

• Fluctuating interior refrigerator temperatures
• Compressor runs continuously without cycling off
• Compressor fails to turn on at all

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

Drain pan collects defrost water beneath your freezer. Replace if cracked, warped, or missing to prevent leaks and water damage on your floor.

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

Secures the compressor to the mounting bracket in your refrigerator or freezer. Replace if missing, stripped, or corroded during compressor service.

Compressor clicks and won't start? Run capacitor helps start and run the compressor motor. Most DIYers replace in under 15 minutes with basic tools.

This replacement power cord delivers household electricity from the outlet to your appliance. Installing a new cord restores safe, reliable power when the original is damaged, worn, or causing intermittent operation.

• Supplies AC power from a household outlet to the unit
• Common fix for no power, flickering lights, or power loss when the cord is moved
• Replaces cords with cuts, cracks, burn marks, or melted areas
• Restores a secure electrical connection for safe, consistent operation

• Unplug the appliance and verify the wall outlet is working before replacing parts
• Access the cord routing and internal connections; note wire positions and routing before removal
• Transfer and secure any strain relief/clamp; keep wiring clear of sharp edges and hot surfaces
• After installation, ensure the cord isn't pinched and the plug seats fully in the outlet

Small mounting bracket that holds shelves or baskets inside your freezer. Replace if cracked, broken, or missing to restore secure, level positioning.

Suction line plug seals the refrigerant line connection in your freezer's compressor system. Replace if cracked, damaged, or missing to maintain proper seal.

This #8-32 x 3/8 screw secures appliance panels, brackets, and assemblies. Replace a missing or stripped fastener to keep parts tight and aligned, reduce vibration, and restore proper fit in compatible refrigerators and freezers.

• Machine-thread fastener sized #8-32, 3/8-inch length
• Secures control housings, trims, covers, and support brackets per model design
• Replaces missing, worn, or corroded screws that cause loose or rattling parts
• Helps maintain alignment and stability after service

• Unplug the appliance; shut off water if applicable
• Match thread size to the original and start by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Use the correct driver; do not overtighten, especially into plastic
• Verify component alignment and operation after fastening

• Thread size: #8-32
• Length: 3/8 inch

Hex head screw that secures panels, brackets, and internal components in refrigerators and appliances. Replace when missing, stripped, or damaged.

Fix error code E8, high temp alarms, or irregular defrost cycles. This thermistor monitors evaporator temperature. DIY repair typically under 15 minutes.
