Parts for Kenmore 253.31447303 (25331447303, 253 31447303): System Parts

Refrigerator not cooling properly? A faulty condenser may be blocking heat release. This repair requires soldering skills and sealed system experience.

Includes service line.

Fixes ice buildup in freezer and warm fridge temps. This defrost heater melts frost from the evaporator to restore proper airflow and cooling performance.

Refrigerator not cooling or freezing properly? This evaporator coil kit restores cooling performance. Moderate DIY repair with basic tools required.

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

Channels defrost water from the evaporator to the drain pan. Replace if cracked, broken, or leaking to prevent water pooling in the fresh-food compartment.

Replacement foam insulation for refrigerator evaporator block. Installs around evaporator assembly to maintain temperature efficiency. Replace if worn or missing.

Freezer frost buildup? Defrost thermostat regulates defrost cycles to prevent ice accumulation. DIY repair takes 15-30 minutes with basic tools.

Rubber grommet that mounts and cushions the compressor to reduce vibration transfer. Replace if cracked, worn, or missing to restore quiet operation.

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

Fix floor puddles and musty odors caused by a cracked defrost drain pan. This pan collects defrost water and allows it to evaporate. Easy DIY fix.

A replacement compressor kit designed to restore the refrigeration system's ability to cool by replacing failed compressor components. Use this kit when the compressor assembly needs service or replacement. What it does:

• Replaces failed compressor components to help restore normal cooling performance
• Stops intermittent or complete loss of cooling often caused by compressor failure
• Helps address loud humming, grinding, or continuous running tied to compressor problems
• Supports proper refrigerant flow when installed and serviced

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before beginning any repairs
• Compressor and sealed-system service (evacuation, vacuum, refrigerant charging) must be performed
• Use proper handling and tools for refrigerant-containing components to avoid leaks and injury

Freezer clicking but not cooling? The compressor start relay initiates the compressor motor. Common DIY repair when unit runs briefly then shuts off.

Black rubber mounting grommet that secures tubes and wires in your refrigerator. Replace if cracked, worn, or missing to properly hold components in place.

Secures panels, trim, and brackets inside your refrigerator. Replace this #8-18 x 3/8 screw if the original is missing, stripped, or worn.

Secures and protects wiring harness from strain damage. Replace if cracked, broken, or wires show wear. Verify fit with your model number listed.

Factory fastener that secures panels, brackets, and internal components. Replace missing, stripped, or corroded screws to restore tight fit and eliminate rattling.

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.

Secures and organizes wiring harnesses in your refrigerator. Replace if broken, cracked, or wires are loose. Confirm fit with your model number.

Replacement mounting screw secures panels, brackets, and trim inside refrigerators and freezers. Restores factory assembly when original fasteners are missing.

Refrigerator not cooling properly? A failed condenser fan motor prevents heat removal from the coils. DIY-friendly repair, typically 15-20 minutes to install.

Refrigerator not cooling properly? A damaged condenser fan blade prevents airflow over the condenser coils. Quick DIY fix—simply push into place.

Supports the compressor on the refrigerator's rear base. Replace if cracked, broken, or worn to keep compressor properly seated and reduce vibration damage.

Metal rivet fastener permanently secures panels, brackets, and internal components in refrigerators. Replace damaged, missing, or worn rivets to restore fit.

Routes defrost and condensation water from freezer to drain pan. Replace if cracked, clogged, disconnected, or causing water pooling in compartments.

Tube connector for refrigerators. Connects tubing in water or refrigerant lines. Replace if cracked, leaking, or broken to restore proper connection.

Wiring harness for top-mount refrigerators. Connects electrical components throughout the unit. Replace if wires are frayed, damaged, or connectors broken.

This heat exchanger suction line kit replaces a damaged or corroded suction line assembly to restore proper refrigerant flow and heat transfer in the cooling system. It helps maintain consistent compartment temperatures and system efficiency. What it does:

• Transfers heat from the refrigerant suction line so the compressor and evaporator operate correctly
• Replaces cracked, kinked, or corroded tubing that can cause refrigerant loss or reduced cooling
• Helps address symptoms such as warm or inconsistent temperatures, visible oil or residue at fittings, or abnormal frost/ice patterns
• Restores a sealed refrigerant path after tubing damage or when corrosion has compromised the line

• Intended for qualified service technicians only; system access requires certified refrigerant handling
• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing and follow all safety precautions
• Installation may require brazing, flare fittings, or specialty tools; verify leak-tight connections and pressure-test per OEM procedures
• Evacuate and recharge the refrigerant system to OEM specifications after installation

Secures tubes and wiring in your refrigerator. Replace if clips are broken or connections are loose. Confirm fit with your model number.

Foam seal tape creates airtight barriers around refrigerator components. Replace when worn, compressed, or damaged to restore proper sealing and efficiency.

Control box wiring harness assembly for refrigerators. Connects control board to components. Replace if wires are damaged, connector is cracked, or harness is worn.

Replacement mounting screw for refrigerator panels, handles, brackets, and internal fixtures. Order when original screws are stripped, lost, or damaged.
