The Air Filter is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators designed to enhance the air quality inside the refrigerator, ensuring that food stays fresh and odor-free.

The Air Filter helps to remove unwanted odors and impurities from the refrigerator's circulating air. It absorbs and neutralizes common food odors, keeping your fridge smelling clean and pleasant. The activated carbon filter is 7 times more effective than baking soda at removing odors. 

For best results, change filter every 6 months. 
Color: Black. 
Measures about 7 inches wide by 5 inches deep. 

Symptoms of a bad air filter include:

• Lingering food odors inside the refrigerator
• Increased presence of stale or unpleasant smells
• Decreased effectiveness in eliminating odors

Replace your Air Filter with this genuine part to ensure a clean and fresh-smelling refrigerator. This OEM Frigidaire part can also be used on Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.

This water inlet tube routes water from the inlet valve to the ice maker and dispenser, restoring proper water flow and helping prevent leaks. Use when the original tube is cracked, split, or blocking water delivery. What it does:

• Directs water from the refrigerator inlet valve to the ice maker and dispenser assembly.
• Restores normal water flow if the original tube is crushed, cracked, or blocked.
• Helps stop leaks associated with damaged or deteriorated inlet tubing.
• Common symptoms: no water to ice maker or dispenser, slow dispenser flow, or visible leaking beneath the fridge.

• Disconnect electrical power and shut off the household water supply before starting.
• Handle tubing carefully and avoid sharp bends or kinks when routing.
• Check and reuse or replace any associated fittings, clips, or seals as needed for a secure, leak-free connection.

The Ice Maker Assembly is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It is responsible for automatically producing batches of ice through a process of freezing water into cube form. The ice maker works in conjunction with the refrigerator's freezer compartment and water supply line to perform its ice production function. 

Symptoms of a faulty ice maker include:

• Failure to produce ice cubes
• Oddly shaped, sparse, or chunky ice output
• Leaks or water pools in the freezer 
• Strange noises coming from the ice maker area
• Error codes shown regarding ice maker performance

Causes of a bad ice maker assembly can include issues with components like the mold heater, water valve, or agitator that are vital to the freezing process. Improper refrigeration temperatures or clogs preventing water flow can also negatively impact ice production.

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

This defrost thermostat controls power to the defrost heater by sensing the evaporator's temperature. Replacing a failed thermostat helps stop heavy frost build-up and supports consistent cooling and airflow in your refrigerator and freezer.

• Monitors evaporator coil temperature during the defrost cycle
• Opens to shut off the defrost heater at a safe temperature; closes again when cold to allow the next defrost
• Failure symptoms can include heavy frost/ice on the back wall or evaporator
• May lead to reduced airflow, poor cooling, or the fresh food section warming after several days

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access by removing the freezer's rear panel to reach the evaporator area; defrost any heavy ice to avoid damage
• Position the thermostat in the same spot on the evaporator tubing; ensure firm contact and route wiring as originally secured, away from sharp edges and the heater
• Reassemble panels, restore power, and observe for proper defrosting over the next cycles

The Defrost Heater is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It is an electric heating element located within the back wall and along the evaporator coil compartment. The heater defrost works to melt any accumulated frost or ice during refrigeration defrost cycles. 

Causes of a bad defrost heater include failure of the heating coil or wiring over time due to regular use. Moisture exposure can also degrade insulation and connections.

Symptoms of a bad defrost heater include: 

• Ice buildup inside the refrigerator that does not melt   
• Inability to maintain proper cooling temperatures
• Frost accumulating externally on refrigerator coils
• Unusual smells emanating from within the appliance 

This OEM Frigidaire replacement defrost heater restores automatic defrost capabilities. Compatible with some Electrolux, Roper, and Kenmore models as well, regular replacements prevent defrost issues.

This refrigerator housing is the molded support used to mount and protect its associated components inside the appliance. Replacing a damaged housing restores a secure fit and proper alignment so parts stay in place and function correctly.

• Provides structural support and mounting points for the related controls/components
• Helps route air and/or wiring as designed by the manufacturer
• Restores proper alignment to reduce rattles, rubbing, or interference
• Symptoms can include cracked plastic, broken tabs, loose or sagging assemblies, or components that won't stay secured

• Disconnect power before servicing; shut off water as needed if working near dispenser/ice components
• Transfer sensors, wiring, controls, and hardware from the original housing unless new parts are supplied
• Reuse original screws/clips; avoid overtightening to prevent cracking
• Verify harness connections and clearances before restoring power and water

The Water Inlet Valve is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It is designed to manage the flow of water to the ice maker and water dispenser. This solenoid-operated valve responds to commands from the refrigerator's electronic control, opening to allow water in and closing to stop the flow, ensuring proper operation of both ice production and water dispensing functions.

Symptoms of a bad Water Inlet Valve include:

• No water being dispensed or ice being made
• Leaking water at the back or bottom of the refrigerator
• An unusually noisy operation when the valve is activated

Causes of a bad water inlet valve can include mineral buildup, which may obstruct the flow of water, mechanical failure of the solenoids, or wear and tear that leads to leaks or failure to open/close properly.

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.
