Frigidaire Freezer Parts

This defrost thermostat senses evaporator temperature and helps control the freezer's defrost heater so frost melts at the right time, protecting cooling efficiency and preventing excessive ice buildup. What it does

• Closes at cold temperatures to allow the defrost heater to run during a defrost cycle
• Opens when the evaporator warms to stop the heater and prevent overheating
• Commonly used when frost builds on the evaporator or defrost heater runs continuously
• Helps maintain proper defrost timing for consistent cooling performance

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing electrical components
• Mount and wire exactly as the original part;
• Replace any damaged clips, grommets, or harnesses for a secure fit and good thermal contact

This mechanical temperature control thermostat replaces the factory temperature sensing switch to restore proper refrigerator temperature regulation. It helps the appliance maintain set temperatures for safe food storage and normal cooling performance. What it does:

• Senses cabinet temperature and opens/closes the cooling circuit to regulate compressor run time.
• Commonly used when the refrigerator runs constantly or cycles too quickly.
• Works as the user-adjustable temperature control for manual-style refrigerator controls.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Handle the sensing bulb/capillary tube gently; avoid kinks or sharp bends.
• Verify correct placement of the sensing bulb in the evaporator/probe clip per OEM location.

A replacement compressor kit designed to restore the refrigeration system's ability to cool by replacing failed compressor components. Use this kit when the compressor assembly needs service or replacement. What it does:

• Replaces failed compressor components to help restore normal cooling performance
• Stops intermittent or complete loss of cooling often caused by compressor failure
• Helps address loud humming, grinding, or continuous running tied to compressor problems
• Supports proper refrigerant flow when installed and serviced

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before beginning any repairs
• Compressor and sealed-system service (evacuation, vacuum, refrigerant charging) must be performed
• Use proper handling and tools for refrigerant-containing components to avoid leaks and injury

This is a replacement mounting screw for securing appliance components and panels. It restores proper fastening where a missing or stripped screw causes loose parts or rattling. What it does:

• Fastens panels, brackets, or small components to restore secure attachment
• Prevents vibration and rattling caused by loose or missing fasteners
• Replaces stripped or lost factory screws to maintain original fit
• Matches OEM fit for the specific mounting location when the part number is specified

• Use the matching screw location and size specified by the parts diagram
• Hand-start threads to avoid cross-threading; tighten securely but do not overtighten
• Disconnect power to the appliance before removing panels or components
• If threads are damaged, replace with correct OEM screw—do not force a mismatched fastener

The Lens is an OEM component for Frigidaire freezers. It acts as a transparent cover and protective barrier for the freezer compartment lights. Crafted for durability and clarity, the lens avoids frost and minimizes condensation while allowing visibility inside the freezer.

Causes of a bad lens can include deep scratches or cracks developing over time from repeated wiping or exposure to chemicals like frost removers.

Symptoms of a bad freezer lens include:

• Cloudiness, fogginess, or smears inhibiting internal visibility
• Cracks or breaks compromising the protective barrier
• Distorted views make it difficult to assess food levels
• Diffused lighting with shadows instead of a clear view

This OEM Frigidaire part can also be used on Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.

This capacitor stores and releases electrical energy to help the refrigerator's compressor start and run smoothly. Replacing a weak or failed capacitor can restore reliable compressor startup and more consistent cooling performance.

• Provides the electrical boost/phase shift needed for compressor motor startup and steady operation
• Works with the start device to deliver proper current to the compressor
• Failure symptoms can include clicking or humming near the compressor, poor cooling, or short cycling
• May cause the compressor not to start after power interruptions when weak or failed

• Disconnect power before servicing any electrical component
• Safely discharge the capacitor before handling; avoid touching terminals
• Note wire positions and terminal markings; transfer leads one at a time to the matching terminals
• Secure the capacitor in its mounting/bracket to prevent vibration damage

This hex head screw secures panels, brackets, and small components on appliances, restoring proper fit and stability. It's a direct replacement fastener when an original mounting screw is missing, loose, or damaged. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets, trim, and internal components to prevent rattling or movement
• Replaces stripped, missing, or damaged mounting screws that cause loose parts or misalignment
• Restores reliable mechanical fastening so doors and panels sit flush and operate correctly
• Works as a general-purpose appliance mounting screw when original fasteners are worn

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Match the screw to the original location and thread engagement; start by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Use the correct driver or socket for the hex head and tighten until snug—do not overtighten
• If the original hole or threads are damaged, repair or replace the mating hardware before installing the screw

This drain hose routes wastewater from the appliance to the household drain so your unit can empty reliably. It replaces a damaged or clogged hose to help stop backups and leaks when installed correctly. What it does

• Carries wash and condensation water from the appliance to the drain line.
• Restores normal draining when the original hose is cracked, split, or clogged.
• Helps prevent water pooling inside or beneath the appliance when properly connected.
• Works with household drain fittings—ensure proper routing and secure clamps.

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before servicing.
• Route hose without sharp bends or kinks; secure with clamps at both connections.
• Inspect hose ends and replace clamps if corroded; test for leaks after installation.

This water inlet tube directs incoming water from the valve to the refrigerator's dispenser/ice system, restoring proper water delivery and reducing leaks. Reliable tubing helps maintain normal dispenser and ice-maker operation. What it does:

• Channels water from the inlet valve to internal dispenser or ice-maker lines
• Prevents leaks caused by damaged, cracked, or clogged inlet tubing
• Restores normal water flow for ice production and door dispenser use
• Helps eliminate intermittent dispensing or slow ice production related to inlet line issues

• One water inlet tube as shown

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before starting any repair
• Inspect fittings and seals; replace any damaged clamps or grommets for a secure connection
• Use appropriate tools and tighten fittings to OEM torque—do not overtighten plastic fittings

This water inlet valve controls water flow to the refrigerator's dispenser and ice maker, restoring proper filling and dispensing when the valve is faulty. It replaces a worn or leaking inlet valve to stop water issues and restore normal operation. What it does:

• Opens and closes to allow water into the icemaker and dispenser as needed
• Prevents water flow when closed to avoid constant filling or overflow
• Commonly linked to symptoms like no water dispensed, no or slow ice production, or intermittent water flow
• Can cause visible leaks if seals or ports fail

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before starting any work
• Tighten water line fittings snugly but avoid over-tightening; check for leaks after restoring water
