The Door Gasket is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It ensures a tight seal around the door, preventing cold air from escaping and maintaining the set temperature inside the appliance. Over time, the gasket can wear out, become brittle, or lose its elasticity, leading to gaps between the gasket and the appliance frame. The gasket measures approximately 31" x 60"

Causes of a bad door gasket can vary from normal wear and tear to accidental damage. 

Symptoms of a bad Gasket include:

• Noticeable gaps or tears in the gasket
• Difficulty in maintaining the set temperature
• Condensation or frost buildup around the door

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

The Defrost Timer is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire upright freezers. It serves as a crucial component responsible for regulating automatic defrost cycles.

Causes of a faulty defrost timer relate to 20,000+ hours of constant exposure to freezer temperatures as low as -10 degrees Fahrenheit. Such extremes can compromise electrical switching mechanisms over prolonged usage periods.

Symptoms of a failed defrost timer include:

• Inability to initiate automatic defrost modes  
• Excessive ice and frost accumulation inside cabinet
• Warm areas detected due to impaired fan circulation
• Diagnostic codes indicating defrosting problems

This genuine Frigidaire replacement part is compatible with Kelvinator and some Kenmore units as well.
