The Freezer Door Key is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire refrigerators. This small but essential component is designed to securely lock the freezer door, preventing accidental openings or unauthorized access.

Symptoms of needing to replace the freezer door key include:

• Difficulty in locking or unlocking the freezer door
• The key not fitting properly or becoming stuck in the lock
• Visible wear, damage, or breakage of the key itself

Causes of a faulty freezer door key can include normal wear and tear over time, physical damage due to impact or mishandling, or issues with the locking mechanism itself.

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

The Door switch is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire refrigerators. This part turns the light on/off as the door opens and closes.

Causes of a faulty door switch include normal wear of electrical contacts from repetitive on/off cycles. Moisture exposure may potentially corrode internal connections.

Symptoms of a bad light/switch include:

• The interior light fails to turn on when the door is opened
• The light stays on when the door is closed, leading to potential overheating
• An impact on the refrigerator’s temperature regulation due to the switch not signaling the door's closure

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

The Refrigerator Door Gasket Clips are OEM parts for Frigidaire refrigerators. These clips secure the door gasket in place, ensuring a tight seal to maintain the internal temperature and prevent cold air from escaping. This pack contains 40 clips, which secure the interior trim pieces and hold the gasket and liner to the freezer lid.

Over time, the gasket clips can become damaged or worn out due to frequent opening and closing of the refrigerator door, exposure to moisture, or accidental impacts. If the clips fail, the door gasket may not stay in place, compromising the refrigerator's efficiency.

Symptoms of bad refrigerator door gasket clips include:

• The door gasket not staying securely in place
• Visible damage or wear on the clips
• Cold air escaping from around the door
• Increased energy consumption due to poor sealing

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

The Door Gasket is an OEM part for Frigidaire freezers. This gasket forms a seal around the freezer door, preventing warm air from entering and cold air from escaping, thus maintaining optimal internal temperatures.

Causes of a bad door gasket can include wear and tear over time, damage from regular use, or exposure to harsh cleaning chemicals that can cause the gasket to deteriorate.

Symptoms of a bad door gasket include:

• Warm air leaking into the freezer, causing it to run more frequently
• Frost buildup around the door seal area
• The door not closing properly or staying slightly ajar
• Visible cracks, tears, or deformations in the gasket

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

The product featured is a Frigidaire refrigerator compressor. The compressor is a vital component for the cooling and freezing process of a refrigerator. A compressor works together with the evaporator in providing the cold air needed to keep everything at the desired temperature. When a compressor fails, this could have an effect that calls for an emergency repair. Losing the compressor function means the refrigerator stops getting cold in both compartments. Prolonging the repair could mean the loss of all the food items stored inside. A faulty compressor may become very loud when it operates. Users may hear a slight clicking sound on a compressor that's entirely out of commission. This is the relay clicking in an attempt to power the compressor. If a compressor does go out, keep the doors of the freezer and refrigerator shut. There's a chance the food can be salvaged if repairs take place fast enough. This compressor is a genuine OEM product and is sourced directly from the manufacturer and is only available as an individual component. Frigidaire, Kenmore, and Maytag refrigerators can be repaired with this component.

This temperature control knob replaces a worn or missing knob so you can easily adjust the cold-control setting. Restores smooth, precise temperature adjustments and a clean, factory look. What it does:

• Attaches to the cold-control (thermostat) shaft to change the temperature setting
• Provides secure grip and pointer alignment for accurate selections
• Typical failure symptoms: cracked or missing knob, stripped hub, or a knob that slips or won't turn the control

• 1 temperature control knob

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Pull the old knob straight off the shaft; avoid prying at an angle to prevent shaft damage
• Align the shaft shape with the new knob and press firmly until fully seated
• The pointer aligns with the control graphics after installation

This temperature control thermostat regulates cabinet temperature by cycling the cooling system on and off. It helps your appliance hold the setting you select so food stays cold without unnecessary overcooling.

• Senses internal temperature and opens/closes electrical contacts to start or stop the compressor
• Maintains the setpoint chosen with the control knob
• Symptoms of a failing control include: too warm or too cold temperatures
• Runs constantly or won't run unless tapped/adjusted
• Temperature knob has little or no effect on cooling

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Note wire locations and take photos before removal
• Route the sensing capillary/bulb exactly as original; do not kink or sharply bend it
• Secure the sensing bulb in its clips and ensure good contact; set to mid-range and allow up to 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize

This hinge assembly provides the pivot and support for your freezer door or lid, allowing smooth opening and secure closing. Replacing a worn hinge restores alignment and helps the gasket seal to keep cold air contained.

• Supports and pivots the door/lid during opening and closing
• Maintains alignment so the door/lid closes fully and seals properly
• Can help resolve sagging, binding, scraping noises, or doors not closing all the way
• Replaces a bent, cracked, or seized hinge assembly

• Disconnect power before service; wear gloves.
• Support the door or lid and use a second person to prevent drops or damage.
• Transfer any spacers, bushings, or covers from the old hinge if required.
• Align the hinge, tighten fasteners, and verify smooth operation and gasket seal.

This compressor mounting clip secures the compressor to its chassis to reduce movement and noise for reliable operation. It replaces worn or broken clips that allow the compressor to shift during use. What it does:

• Reduces vibration and rattling noises caused by a loose mount
• Helps maintain proper compressor alignment for steady operation
• Useful when a cracked or bent clip no longer secures the compressor

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing compressor area
• Inspect surrounding mounts and rubber isolators; replace if damaged
• Secure clip fully so compressor is held without forcing or misaligning components
