Frigidaire Compressor & Sealed System

This condenser coil assembly removes heat from the refrigerator's refrigerant so the system can cool properly. Replacing a damaged or clogged condenser helps restore efficient cooling and reduces compressor workload. What it does:

• Condenses refrigerant from a hot gas to a cooler liquid so the cooling cycle can continue
• Dissipates heat to the surrounding air through tube-and-fin coils
• Common symptom linkage: refrigerator running warm, food not keeping cold, or compressor running continuously
• Common symptom linkage: visible bent or damaged coil fins, debris buildup, or unusual compressor noise related to overheating

• One condenser (coil assembly)

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Handle coil fins carefully — they are sharp and can be easily bent
• Access may require tilting or moving the refrigerator and removing the rear access panel

This evaporator coil assembly circulates refrigerant through the freezer refrigerant circuit to absorb heat and enable proper cooling. Replacing a worn or damaged evaporator restores efficient frost control and consistent freezer temperatures. What it does:

• Absorbs heat from the freezer compartment so refrigerant can carry it away and maintain cold temperatures.
• Helps prevent excessive frost buildup; a damaged coil can cause poor cooling or frost/ice accumulation.
• Works with the evaporator fan and defrost system; symptoms of failure include warm freezer, long run cycles, or visible ice on the coil.
• Integral to the sealed refrigeration system—any leaks or physical damage reduce cooling performance.

• One evaporator coil assembly

• Disconnect power before servicing; components have sharp edges—use gloves and eye protection.
• Replacement involves accessing the evaporator compartment and removing panels; follow OEM instructions for disassembly.
• Verify gasket/seal condition and replace any damaged insulation to ensure proper performance.

This condenser coil assembly removes heat from the refrigerator's refrigerant so the cooling system can operate efficiently. Replacing a damaged or corroded condenser helps restore proper cooling performance and system reliability. What it does:

• Dissipates heat from refrigerant as part of the refrigeration cycle
• Helps maintain proper compressor operating temperatures
• Commonly required when the coil is bent, punctured, corroded, or leaking
• Can reduce poor cooling or longer run-times caused by a faulty condenser

• One condenser coil assembly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any service
• Handle the coil carefully to avoid bending fins or causing leaks
• Inspect connected lines and fittings for damage or oil residue indicating leaks
