Parts for Kenmore 253.29082991 (25329082991, 253 29082991): 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.

Fix ice buildup and poor cooling caused by a faulty evaporator defrost heater. This heater melts frost during defrost cycles to restore proper airflow.

Support spacer for refrigerators. Installs between components to maintain proper alignment and clearance. Replace if cracked, broken, or missing.

The Defrost Thermostat is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It monitors the temperature of the evaporator coils and activates the defrost heater when necessary. This process prevents frost buildup on the coils, ensuring the refrigerator maintains optimal cooling efficiency.

You should replace the defrost thermostat if it becomes faulty or damaged. Common causes of a bad defrost thermostat include electrical failures, regular wear and tear, or temperature fluctuations that can degrade the component over time.

Symptoms of a bad defrost thermostat include:

• Excessive frost buildup on the evaporator coils
• Refrigerator not cooling properly
• The defrost cycle not activating
• Increased energy consumption

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

The Defrost Timer is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire upright freezers. It serves as a crucial component responsible for regulating automatic defrost cycles.

Causes of a faulty defrost timer relate to 20,000+ hours of constant exposure to freezer temperatures as low as -10 degrees Fahrenheit. Such extremes can compromise electrical switching mechanisms over prolonged usage periods.

Symptoms of a failed defrost timer include:

• Inability to initiate automatic defrost modes  
• Excessive ice and frost accumulation inside cabinet
• Warm areas detected due to impaired fan circulation
• Diagnostic codes indicating defrosting problems

This genuine Frigidaire replacement part is compatible with Kelvinator and some Kenmore units as well.

Plastic spacer that maintains proper gap between freezer door and cabinet. Replace if cracked, broken, or missing to restore correct door alignment.

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 overload protector safeguards your refrigerator's compressor motor from electrical damage due to overheating or excessive current draw. It automatically shuts off power to the compressor when dangerous conditions are detected. Replace this overload if your refrigerator stops cooling, the compressor won't start, or it cycles on and off frequently.

Drip pan kit for freezers. Installs beneath the unit to collect condensation and defrost water. Replace if cracked, warped, or missing pieces.

This is a wire-style clamp that secures the overload relay cover on the compressor at the back of the refrigerator. It holds the protective cover tightly in place over the relay and overload components to prevent them from coming loose. Replace this clamp if it is bent, broken, or missing, which can allow the relay cover to detach and leave electrical components exposed.

Compressor vibrating or loose? This mounting screw secures the compressor in freezers and refrigerators. Simple fix, basic tools required.

This retainer lead wire secures appliance wiring to keep harnesses organized and away from heat or moving parts, reducing wear and accidental disconnection. It's a simple replacement to restore proper wire routing and protection. What it does:

• Clips or holds the wiring harness in place to prevent chafing and strain
• Helps keep wires away from hot surfaces, vents, or moving components
• Reduces risk of intermittent electrical connections caused by loose wiring
• Restores factory routing after service or component replacement

• Disconnect power to the appliance before installing to avoid shock or injury
• Remove any panels necessary to access the original retainer and wiring route
• Replace like-for-like, seating the retainer securely so the harness cannot shift
• If wires show damage or insulation wear, inspect further and replace damaged wiring before reassembly

This is a retainer clip used to secure internal components in place within a freezer. It holds parts firmly in position to prevent shifting or rattling during normal operation. Replace this retainer if the original is cracked, broken, or missing, which can cause loose or misaligned components inside the unit.

Refrigerator not cooling or compressor won't start? A failed run capacitor prevents the compressor from running. DIY repair in 10-15 minutes with video guide.

Replacement screw that secures brackets, shelves, trim, panels, and covers inside your appliance. Install when the original is missing, stripped, or corroded.

This cable clip secures a refrigerator's wire harness or control cables, keeping wiring routed and protected to prevent pinching or contact with moving parts. A small but important retainer for safe, tidy internal wiring. What it does:

• Holds and routes wire harnesses or cables to prevent interference with drawers, doors, or moving components
• Reduces wear and chafing on wires by keeping them away from sharp edges and heat sources
• Helps maintain reliable electrical connections by preventing strain on harnesses
• Commonly replaced when clips are broken, cracked, or missing and wires become loose or misrouted

• Turn off power to the appliance before accessing internal wiring
• Install by snapping clip onto designated frame or mounting boss and seating wire(s) into the clip
• Replace any damaged wiring or connectors discovered during installation

Foam insulation sleeve that wraps around the defrost drain tube. Replace if worn, missing, or damaged to prevent condensation and maintain proper insulation.
