• 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.

This defrost heater melts frost and ice buildup on the evaporator so your freezer can run efficiently and maintain proper cooling. It's a direct replacement heater element used in frost control during automatic defrost cycles. What it does

• Heats the evaporator coil during the defrost cycle to remove frost and ice buildup.
• Helps restore normal airflow and cooling when frost is blocking the evaporator.
• Common symptom: visible ice buildup on evaporator or frost accumulation inside the freezer.
• Common symptom: reduced cooling performance or long run times due to iced coils.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Access the evaporator by removing the back panel inside the freezer; follow the OEM repair diagram.
• Handle the heating element carefully to avoid bending or damaging the coil; ensure proper routing and clip placement.
• After installation, restore power and test continuity of the heater with a multimeter if needed.

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.
