Parts for Crosley R22CWF0: 07 - 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.

This defrost heater melts frost and ice on the evaporator so the refrigerator can cycle normally and maintain proper airflow. Replaces a failed or broken heater to restore automatic defrost operation. What it does:

• Heats the evaporator during the defrost cycle to remove accumulated frost and ice
• Helps prevent blocked airflow and extended cooling cycles caused by ice buildup
• Commonly replaced when evaporator is iced over or defrost system fails
• Works as part of the appliance's timed or adaptive defrost system

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Handle the heater and evaporator fins carefully to avoid damage or bending
• Inspect mounting clips and terminals; replace if corroded or damaged
• Verify continuity with a multimeter before and after installation

The Defrost Thermostat is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators and freezers. This part senses the temperature of the evaporator coil and triggers the defrost heater to melt away any accumulated frost. This process ensures that air can flow freely over the coils, keeping the refrigerator or freezer at the correct temperature and preventing overcooling or temperature fluctuations that can spoil food.

Causes of a bad defrost thermostat can include a failure to open or close properly, leading to an overaccumulation of frost on the evaporator coils, or physical damage that prevents it from sensing the correct temperature. 

Symptoms of a bad Defrost Thermostat include:

• Frost build-up in the freezer compartment
• The refrigerator or freezer is too warm
• The compressor running longer than usual
• Fresh food compartment becoming too warm

This OEM Frigidaire part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator and some 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.

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

This compressor kit is made to be used with freezers and refrigerators by several manufacturers. It includes the compressor as well as all small parts associated with it. The compressor is a component that helps move the refrigerant throughout the appliance's system. Temperature sensors indicate when the compressor should run. If the compressor is damaged, it may make strange noises, no longer cool properly, or could begin to overheat.If any of these issues are present, the compressor should be replaced. First, make sure the refrigerator is not connected to a power source. Remove perishable items from the appliance and place them in an icebox, cooler with ice, or another refrigerator. Locate the compressor on the back of the appliance by removing the metal guard. Remove the wire between the compressor and the capacitor before taking off the compressor. Replace this part with the new one by connecting it to the wire and reassembling the appliance.This is a compressor kit for use with refrigerators and freezers made by Crosley, Electrolux, Westinghouse, Frigidaire, Kelvinator, Tappan, and Gibson. It is sourced directly from the manufacturer and sold as a single part. This is a genuine OEM replacement part.

This vent directs airflow and helps channel exhaust air from the appliance to improve ventilation and maintain proper operation. Durable replacement restores correct air flow and reduces hot spots or moisture buildup. What it does:

• Channels exhaust or circulating air from the appliance to the cabinet or exterior
• Helps maintain even internal temperatures by directing airflow where needed
• Reduces build-up of heat or moisture that can affect performance
• Replaces worn, cracked, or missing vents that may cause rattling or poor airflow

• One replacement vent

• Basic hand tools may be required; verify screw/clip locations before removal
• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting work for safety
• Handle gently to avoid damaging mounting tabs or surrounding trim

This replacement screw secures appliance components so brackets, shelves, trim, or panels stay firmly in place. Install a new screw when the original is missing, stripped, or corroded to restore a tight, rattle-free fit.

• Fastens brackets, panels, trim, or covers to the cabinet or liner
• Helps maintain alignment and reduce vibration and noise
• Direct replacement for a missing, rusted, or stripped fastener
• Use wherever your model's parts diagram specifies this screw

• Disconnect power before servicing; shut off water if working near water lines
• Match thread and length to the original location as shown in your model's parts diagram
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly without overtightening (especially into plastic)
• Retain and transfer any original spacers or clips used with this fastener

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

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
