Parts for Kenmore 253.44773703 (25344773703, 253 44773703): System Parts

This condenser coil assembly removes heat from the refrigerant so the refrigerator can cool efficiently. Replacing a damaged or clogged condenser restores proper heat transfer and helps the unit run more reliably. What it does:

• Condenses refrigerant from a gas to a liquid by releasing heat to the surrounding air
• Helps maintain correct system pressures so the compressor cycles normally
• Commonly fixes symptoms like the fridge running constantly, higher-than-normal interior temperatures, or overheating at the rear/bottom of the cabinet
• Improves cooling efficiency when the original condenser is bent, crushed, or clogged with debris

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing.
• Inspect mounting brackets, lines, and electrical connections during replacement; replace any damaged fasteners or clips.
• Avoid bending fins; straighten with a fin comb if minor damage is present, and ensure adequate ventilation around the condenser after reinstalling.

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

Includes service line.

Main wire harness for freezers. Connects electrical components throughout the unit. Replace if wiring is damaged, frayed, or connections are loose or burnt.

Fixes frost buildup on evaporator coils causing warming or ice accumulation. Test with multimeter for continuity. DIY-friendly repair component.

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

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

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.

This guard is a molded protective cover that shields internal components and helps maintain proper airflow, reducing the chance of damage and contact with moving parts. It's a simple replacement when a damaged guard exposes wiring or fan areas. What it does:

• Covers and protects wiring, fan blades, and nearby components from debris and accidental contact
• Helps maintain proper airflow paths around cooling components
• Reduces vibration noise by stabilizing loose openings or edges
• Restores a finished appearance where the original guard was cracked or missing

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Remove any fasteners or panels blocking access; install in the original orientation and secure with the factory screws
• Do not force the part; ensure clips or tabs fully engage to avoid loosening
• If other parts are damaged or mounting points are broken, replace or repair those first for a secure fit

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 electronic control board manages core cooling functions in your appliance, including compressor/fan operation and the automatic defrost cycle. Replacing a failing board can restore stable temperatures and more reliable, frost-free performance.

• Regulates compressor and evaporator fan operation to maintain the set temperature
• Controls and times the automatic defrost cycle to reduce frost buildup
• Interprets inputs from sensors and user controls to coordinate system responses
• Common symptoms of a failed board: inconsistent temperatures, continuous running or short cycling, heavy frost/ice on coils, or unresponsive/intermittent controls

• Disconnect power before servicing; handle the board with ESD precautions
• Note connector locations; transfer any mounting brackets or covers from the original as needed
• Seat all connectors fully and secure the board before restoring power
• After installation, monitor temperature and defrost operation

Collects defrost water from the evaporator and channels it to the drain system. Replace if cracked, broken, or missing to prevent leaks inside the cabinet.

Secures interior trim and panels in place to eliminate gaps and rattling. Replace when clips break or go missing. Confirm fit with your model number.

This small plastic clip secures the dishwasher drain hose to the pump assembly or discharge fitting, keeping the hose in place and helping prevent leaks or disconnection during operation. What it does:

• Holds the drain hose firmly to the pump or outlet fitting to maintain a watertight connection
• Prevents the hose from slipping free during drain cycles
• Helps stop water leaks and washing chamber flooding caused by a loose hose
• Useful when replacing a cracked or broken retaining clip

• One drain hose retaining clip

• Disconnect power and water supply before accessing the dishwasher lower access area
• Remove the access panel or kickplate to reach the drain hose and pump connection
• Use pliers or a flat tool to remove the old clip and snap the new clip over the hose/fitting until fully seated
• After installation, run a short drain cycle and inspect for leaks; re-secure if necessary

Freezer won't start or compressor hums but doesn't run? A failed run capacitor is often the cause. DIY-friendly repair, typically done in under an hour.

Refrigerator not cooling or running constantly? A failed condenser fan motor prevents heat dissipation. DIY repair typically takes 30-45 minutes.

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