The CONDENSER COIL is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It is a refrigerant-cooled heat exchanger located in the refrigerator's condenser housing or outlet grille area. The condenser coil works to liquefy hot refrigerant gas into liquid form during the compressor's condensing process, dissipating heat from the refrigeration system.
Symptoms of a bad condenser coil can include:
- Inadequate or inconsistent cooling, with warm or lukewarm refrigerator temperatures
- The compressor running frequently or continuously even when doors are closed
- Old or strange odors coming from the condenser area
- Frost or ice buildup around the condenser coil
Causes of a bad condenser coil may include mineral or dirt buildup inhibiting heat transfer, physical damage to coil fins or tubing, or failure of the condenser fan that aids in heat removal.
This OEM Frigidaire replacement is compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and select Kenmore designs.
