Parts for Kenmore 253.9233410 (2539233410, 253 9233410): Unit Parts

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.

Secures the temperature sensing tube to the thermostat for accurate temperature control. Replace if loose, missing, or damaged to prevent erratic cooling.

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

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

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.

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

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

Includes service line.

This part has been discontinued by the manufacturer and is no longer available.

Power cord retainer secures the electrical cord to your refrigerator's back panel. Replace if the original clip is cracked, broken, or missing.

Fix a freezer that won't run or cycles inconsistently with this temperature control thermostat. Restores proper cooling when the control sticks or drifts.

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
