Parts for Frigidaire FV21M9WSFC: 07 - System And Electrical Parts

This fan motor mounting bushing is used in refrigerator fan motor assemblies to prevent vibrations between the fan motor and the surrounding components. Over time, the rubber on the bushing may become cracked or broken and fall off. Loud noises coming from the refrigerator's freezer section where it is mounted are a good indicator that the bushing needs to be replaced. To start, disconnect the refrigerator's power and empty the refrigerator and freezer's contents into an ice chest to keep them cold until the motor mount bushing is replaced. Open the freezer door and remove the plastic access panel on the back wall; the fan blade and motor are located behind it. Gently pull the fan blade off the center post. Remove the screws holding the motor in place and remove the motor. Take the old bushing off and install the new bushing. Replace the panel. Put the food contents back inside the freezer and refrigerator and restore the power.This motor mounting bushing is an authentic OEM replacement part sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is sold individually. It is designed for use in refrigerators manufactured by Frigidaire, Kenmore, Gibson, and Kelvinator.

This drain tube insulation cushions and thermally protects the refrigerator's defrost drain tube to help prevent condensation and ice buildup. It keeps the drain line insulated so water flows freely to the drip pan and reduces drip/ice-related issues. What it does:

• Wraps around the defrost drain tube to limit heat transfer and condensation.
• Helps prevent drain freeze-ups that can cause water pooling or slow drainage.
• Reduces the chance of water dripping inside the cabinet or onto the floor.
• Supports reliable defrost water routing to the drain pan.

• Always unplug the appliance or disconnect power before servicing.
• Access may require removing the back or inside panel; keep track of fasteners.
• Slide the insulation over the drain tube so it fully covers the exposed section; ensure it sits flat without kinks.
• If corrosion or heavy buildup is present, clean the drain tube before installing new insulation.

A small metal clamp that secures the refrigerator's capillary (temperature sensing) tube to the cold control so the thermostat reads temperatures accurately. Replaces worn or missing clamps to keep the sensing tube stable and prevent movement-related issues. What it does:

• Holds the capillary/sensing tube firmly against the cold control or cabinet
• Helps maintain accurate thermostat sensing by preventing tube movement
• Reduces vibration or rattling from a loose sensing tube
• Stops intermittent temperature swings caused by a displaced capillary tube

• Disconnect power before servicing the appliance.
• Handle the capillary tube gently; avoid kinks or sharp bends.
• Install clamp over the tube and secure to the control or bracket using the factory hole or fastener; do not overtighten.

This replacement tube routes water from the refrigerator's defrost area to the drain pan to help prevent leaks and pooling. A simple, direct-fit part for restoring proper drain flow and reducing water buildup. What it does

• Channels defrost and condensation water to the drain pan to prevent interior pooling.
• Helps maintain normal drainage to avoid ice buildup or water leaks.
• Restores a damaged, cracked or clogged original tube where flow is restricted.
• Works as a service part when inspecting drain path during defrost/drain issues.

• One replacement tube.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Remove access panels as needed and route tube along the factory path; avoid sharp bends or kinks.
• Inspect drain openings and heater components while replacing the tube.

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.

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

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 is a compressor used in several types of home appliances. The compressor is designed to take cold gas in the appliance and place it under pressure so the gas raises in temperature. It is then moved through the refrigerator system to ensure the unit stays cold throughout the appliance. This part can become damaged or malfunction, which may cause the motor to stop running, make the motor noisier, or cause the motor to never stop running.If this happens, the compressor will need to be replaced. A basic set of tools will be needed. A pair of work gloves can also be useful. First, locate the compressor as it may be in various locations depending on the appliance model. Unplug the appliance before removing the compressor. Install the new compressor using the original bolts and nuts before turning the power back on and resuming normal use.This part is sold on an individual basis. The compressor is made to be used with refrigerators, ranges, stoves, ovens, air conditioners, and freezers created by Gibson, Frigidaire, Kelvinator, Montgomery Wards, Westinghouse, Tappan, JCPenney, Universal, and Kenmore. It is an authentic OEM replacement part directly sourced from the manufacturer.

This compressor grommet is a rubber mounting isolator that cushions and secures the compressor to the appliance chassis, helping reduce vibration and noise while preventing metal-to-metal contact and premature wear. What it does:

• Cushions compressor movement to reduce vibration transmitted to the cabinet
• Dampens noise and rattling caused by compressor operation
• Prevents direct metal-to-metal contact that can wear mounting points
• Helps keep the compressor positioned and secured under load

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing the compressor or base pan
• Replace grommets while supporting the compressor to avoid strain on lines and connections
• Inspect remaining mounting grommets; replace all worn isolators for best performance
