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 refrigerator water inlet tube routes water from the supply/valve into the appliance's water system. Replacing a cracked or kinked tube restores proper flow to the dispenser and ice maker while helping prevent leaks.

• Directs water from the inlet valve to internal components for dispensing and ice production
• Maintains a sealed, food-grade water path
• Replace if you notice leaks under/behind the unit, visible cracks/kinks, reduced or intermittent dispenser flow, or ice maker not filling
• Normal wear, brittleness, or damage during moves can lead to failures

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Place a towel or tray to catch residual water when disconnecting lines
• Note the original routing; release any retaining clips and disconnect the tube from fittings
• Route the new tube exactly like the original and fully seat tube ends in connectors; restore water and check for leaks

The Ice Maker is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire French doors and side-by-side refrigerators. It automatically produces batches of fresh ice for daily use.

Symptoms of an issue include:

• Reduced or discontinued ice production
• Ice cubes fused or stuck together
• Water or moisture inside the refrigerator

Causes can be mineral or scale buildup inhibiting parts, or damage from opening the refrigerator door before harvest is complete. Other causes involve mold growth or freezing of internal components over time.

Compatible with Gibson and Electrolux refrigerator models as well, it maintains a constant ice supply.

This factory fastener secures appliance panels and components. Replace a missing, stripped, or corroded screw to restore a tight, rattle-free fit and keep brackets and covers properly aligned.

• Fastens panels, brackets, and internal parts as specified by the manufacturer
• Helps maintain alignment and reduces vibration/rattling
• Replace if the head is stripped, threads are damaged, or corrosion is present
• Symptoms include loose/missing hardware, gaps, or rattling during operation

• Disconnect power; shut off gas/water if applicable before servicing
• Use the correct driver/bit size to avoid stripping the head
• Start threads by hand to prevent cross-threading; do not overtighten
• Match screw length/thread to the location; replace in sets when required

This water tube kit restores the refrigerator's water path. Replacing damaged or brittle tubing helps stop leaks and brings back reliable water flow to the dispenser and/or ice maker.

• Provides a secure route for water from the inlet valve through the refrigerator
• Replaces kinked, cracked, or leaking tubing that can restrict flow
• Helps resolve little/no water dispensing, slow/no ice production, or water drips/leaks
• Matches original routing and connection style on applicable units

• Unplug the refrigerator and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Place a towel to catch residual water and depressurize the line
• Note tube routing; cut ends square and fully seat tubing into fittings; avoid kinks
• Restore water and power, then check all connections for leaks and purge air by dispensing water

This Refrigerator Water Valve is a genuine OEM replacement part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It is responsible for controlling the flow of water into the refrigerator's ice maker and water dispenser. This part ensures a steady and reliable water supply for ice production and water dispensing.

Causes of a bad water valve can include a faulty solenoid, clogged or blocked water lines, or a malfunctioning water pressure regulator. These issues can result in a variety of problems, such as slow or no ice production, weak water flow from the dispenser, or leaks around the valve.

Symptoms of a bad water valve include:

• No ice cubes being produced
• Low water pressure or weak water flow from the dispenser
• Leaks around the water valve or water lines
• Inconsistent ice production or dispensing

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

This spring-style hose clamp secures flexible appliance hoses and helps prevent leaks by holding hose ends tightly to fittings. Reliable, low-profile design for use on drain, water, or vent hoses where a strong, consistent grip is needed. What it does:

• Provides a spring-tensioned grip to keep hoses seated on fittings and reduce leaks
• Commonly used on flexible drain or water hoses and small vent lines
• Helps maintain proper connection under normal vibration and thermal cycling
• Replaces worn, stretched, or corroded clamps that no longer hold tension

• One spring hose clamp (exact quantity as sold)

• Use pliers to expand the clamp, slide into position, then release to seat on the fitting
• Inspect hose ends and fittings for wear; replace hose if damaged before installing clamp
• Wear eye protection when compressing the clamp; keep fingers clear of the clamp's edges
• Tighten only as needed—over-compressing can damage the hose

Color: Black/natural. Nylon

Replace a damaged refrigerator bracket to restore secure mounting of the associated component. This part holds the component firmly in place to maintain proper alignment and reliable performance inside the appliance.

• Provides a solid mounting point for the related interior part or assembly
• Helps maintain correct alignment and spacing of the component
• Reduces movement and vibration that can lead to noise or wear
• Common signs it may be bad: cracked or broken bracket, stripped holes, loose or misaligned component, rattling

• Disconnect power and shut off water supply before service; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Clear shelves/panels to access the bracket area and note part orientation
• Remove fasteners, swap the bracket, and reuse existing hardware if applicable
• Do not overtighten screws; confirm proper fit and alignment before reassembly

This ice container collects and stores ice produced by the freezer icemaker so you can access and organize frozen cubes. Replace a cracked, missing, or warped bin to restore normal ice storage and reduce spills in the freezer compartment. What it does:

• Collects and holds ice dispensed from the icemaker so cubes stay contained and accessible.
• Aligns under the icemaker chute to catch ice as it cycles.
• Helps prevent ice from spilling onto freezer shelves when the original bin is damaged or missing.
• Common symptom: ice falls onto the shelf, the icemaker backs up, or the bin is cracked or broken.

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before service to avoid injury.
• Remove food and any loose ice from the freezer area before removing the old bin.
• Slide the replacement bin into the same location and ensure it seats securely under the icemaker chute; do not force.
• If ice is stuck, allow the area to thaw or carefully remove ice by hand; avoid sharp tools that can damage components.
