Parts for Kenmore 253.9287413 (2539287413, 253 9287413): 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.

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

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

The Starter is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire refrigerators. This component is crucial for initiating the compressor, which is responsible for cooling the refrigerator. The starter works by providing the necessary electrical power to get the compressor running, ensuring that the refrigerator maintains the correct temperature.

Causes of a bad starter can include electrical malfunctions, wear and tear over time, or damage from power surges. A faulty starter can prevent the compressor from starting, leading to cooling issues.

Symptoms of a bad Starter include:

• The refrigerator not cooling properly
• The compressor not running or frequently cycling on and off
• Unusual clicking or buzzing noises from the compressor area
• The refrigerator being warmer than usual or food spoiling quickly

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

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

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

Plastic spacer support bushing that mounts between refrigerator components to reduce vibration and noise. Replace if cracked, worn, or missing.

Protective terminal cover that shields electrical connections from debris and moisture. Replace if cracked, broken, or missing to ensure safe operation.

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

Owner's manual and care guide for your freezer. Includes installation instructions, operating guidelines, maintenance schedules, and troubleshooting.

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.
