Parts for Frigidaire ER1415: 05 - System Parts

This aluminum strap secures the defrost heater firmly against the evaporator coil to maintain proper contact during defrost. Correct contact improves heat transfer so frost melts evenly and helps prevent recurring ice buildup on the evaporator.

• Secures the defrost heater to the evaporator for proper contact and heat transfer
• Promotes complete, even defrosting across the evaporator coil
• Helps reduce repeat frost/ice accumulation caused by a shifted or loose heater
• Typical clues include a loose heater, uneven frost pattern, or rattling near the evaporator

• Disconnect power and allow ice to melt before accessing the evaporator
• Use care around sharp fins and fragile refrigerant tubing; do not puncture or deform the coil
• Position the heater per your model's parts diagram and tighten the strap for firm, even contact
• Verify wiring is routed clear of the fan and moving parts before reassembly

Includes service line.

The Defrost Heater is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It is designed to melt frost and ice buildup from the evaporator coils during the defrost cycle, ensuring that your refrigerator operates efficiently and maintains the proper temperature. This heater prevents excessive frost accumulation, which can impair cooling performance.

Causes of a bad defrost heater can include wear and tear over time, electrical issues such as short circuits or blown fuses, and physical damage from handling or impact. When the defrost heater fails, frost and ice can build up, leading to cooling issues.

Symptoms of a bad Defrost Heater include:

• Excessive frost buildup in the freezer
• The refrigerator not maintaining the correct temperature
• The defrost cycle not activating
• Water leakage inside the refrigerator

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

The Defrost Thermostat is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire refrigerators. This component plays a crucial role in the defrost system, monitoring and regulating the temperature to ensure proper defrosting of the evaporator coils.

Causes of a faulty defrost thermostat can include normal wear and tear over time, exposure to excessive temperature fluctuations or moisture, or electrical malfunctions.

Symptoms of needing to replace the defrost thermostat include:

• Improper defrosting or lack of defrosting
• Frost buildup on the evaporator coils
• The refrigerator running constantly or cycling frequently

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

This rubber compressor mounting grommet cushions and isolates the compressor to reduce vibration and noise that can transfer to the cabinet. It helps maintain stable compressor positioning for quieter, smoother operation. What it does:

• Absorbs compressor vibration to lower noise and rattling
• Dampens movement that can cause abrasion or wear on mounting hardware
• Helps maintain proper alignment of the compressor assembly
• Common symptom: excessive buzzing, vibration, or rattling from the back of the appliance

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before servicing.
• Support the compressor before removing mounts to prevent shifting or damage.
• Inspect surrounding mounts and hardware; replace any worn or damaged pieces.

This starter relay helps start the refrigerator compressor so the unit can cool properly. It replaces a worn or failed relay to restore reliable compressor start-up and reduce repeated clicking or humming. What it does:

• Provides the initial kick to start the compressor motor
• Stops the compressor from stalling during startup
• Commonly used when the fridge hums but doesn't cool or the compressor only clicks on and off
• Helps prevent extended run attempts that can overload the compressor

• One starter relay

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Replace only when unit is fully powered down and components are cool to the touch
• Inspect the compressor terminal area for damage or corrosion and clean before installing

This run capacitor helps the refrigerator compressor start and run smoothly, restoring normal operation when a weak or failed capacitor causes the compressor to struggle. Replacing a faulty capacitor can reduce humming and improve cooling performance. What it does:

• Provides continuous phase-shift to the compressor motor for stable running.
• Helps maintain proper compressor speed and efficiency during operation.
• Commonly replaced when the compressor hums, won't stay running, or cooling is inconsistent.
• Reduces risk of repeated motor cycling caused by a weak or open capacitor.

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before accessing electrical components.
• Discharge the capacitor before handling; capacitors can hold a charge even when powered off.
• Observe terminal orientation and mounting location; replace with the same type and ratings.

This drain cup collects and channels defrost meltwater away from the evaporator area to the fridge drain system, helping prevent leaks and ice buildup. Fits in the evaporator/defrost tray area to guide water to the drain. What it does:

• Catches meltwater from the evaporator and funnels it toward the drain line or drain pan
• Helps prevent water pooling, leaks, and ice buildup around the evaporator
• Restores proper defrost drainage when the original cup is cracked, warped, or missing
• Simple, passive plastic part — no electrical connections

• One drain cup

• Remove power to the appliance before accessing internal panels; follow manufacturer safety guidelines
• Typically installs in the evaporator/defrost tray area; may require removing interior panels or the evaporator cover
• Verify correct orientation so water flows into the drain tube; replace any damaged drain grommets or tubes

This support is a small mounting bracket used inside the appliance to hold an interior component, such as a shelf or basket. Replacing a cracked or missing support restores a secure, level fit and helps prevent wobbling or dropping.

• Provides a stable mounting point for a shelf, basket, rail, or panel
• Keeps interior components aligned and level
• Common symptoms: shelf/basket tilts, won't seat, or falls; visible cracks or missing support
• Replace if broken, deformed, or worn to restore proper fit

• Disconnect power and clear the work area before starting
• Remove the affected shelf/basket/panel to access the mounting point
• Release the damaged support (snap tabs or remove screw), align, and install the new support
• Reinstall the component and verify it sits level and secure
