Parts for Kenmore 253.60722001 (25360722001, 253 60722001): 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.

Main wire harness for freezers. Connects electrical components inside the unit. Replace if wires are frayed, damaged, or connectors are broken or melted.

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

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.

Evaporator coils frozen solid? Defrost thermostat senses coil temperature and triggers the heater to melt frost buildup. Straightforward replacement.

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.

Refrigerator not cooling or freezer not freezing? This compressor kit circulates refrigerant to restore proper cooling. Advanced repair, requires HVAC expertise.

This is a start relay device that attaches to the compressor and provides the initial electrical boost needed to start the compressor motor. It works in conjunction with the run capacitor to get the compressor running and then disengages once the motor reaches operating speed. Replace this device if the refrigerator is not cooling, the compressor clicks on and off repeatedly, or you hear a buzzing sound coming from the back of the unit.

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

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

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

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

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

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
