This controller kit is the electronic oven control module that governs bake, broil, and temperature functions. Replacing a failing control restores accurate oven operation and responsive keypad/display performance.

• Regulates oven heating cycles and temperature feedback from the sensor
• Controls bake/broil relays and user interface responses
• Common failure symptoms: no bake/broil, temperature inaccuracy, unresponsive buttons, blank or erroring display
• May recover from intermittent power-up, beeping, or F-codes tied to the control

• Disconnect power before servicing; high voltage is present
• Handle the board by edges; avoid static discharge to components
• Transfer all wiring one connector at a time to the matching locations
• After installation, restore power and verify oven operation and temperature calibration

This replacement screw secures refrigerator components such as brackets, trims, and covers. Replace missing or stripped hardware to keep parts tight and aligned, helping eliminate rattles and restoring a solid, reliable fit.

• Run a brief drain/rinse and check all joints for leaks

This sleeve is a small spacer/bushing used in select Frigidaire-built appliances to keep mating parts aligned and moving smoothly. Replacing a worn sleeve helps eliminate play, reduce friction, and restore proper operation.

• Provides a guided, low-friction surface between parts that slide or rotate
• Maintains correct spacing/alignment to prevent wobble and rubbing
• Helps reduce wear on shafts, pins, or fasteners it interfaces with
• Typical symptoms: looseness or wobble, squeaking/scraping noises, uneven movement, or visible cracking/missing sleeve

• Disconnect power before servicing; shut off gas/water if applicable to your model
• Use your model's diagram to locate the sleeve and note orientation before removal
• Clean and inspect the mating shaft/pin or fastener; replace any severely worn components
• Seat the sleeve fully; avoid over-tightening hardware that passes through the sleeve

Quantity of 1 clip.

This aluminum strap secures the defrost heater firmly against the evaporator coil to maintain proper contact during defrost. Correct contact improves heat transfer so frost melts evenly and helps prevent recurring ice buildup on the evaporator.

• Secures the defrost heater to the evaporator for proper contact and heat transfer
• Promotes complete, even defrosting across the evaporator coil
• Helps reduce repeat frost/ice accumulation caused by a shifted or loose heater
• Typical clues include a loose heater, uneven frost pattern, or rattling near the evaporator

• Disconnect power and allow ice to melt before accessing the evaporator
• Use care around sharp fins and fragile refrigerant tubing; do not puncture or deform the coil
• Position the heater per your model's parts diagram and tighten the strap for firm, even contact
• Verify wiring is routed clear of the fan and moving parts before reassembly

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 door rack mounts to the inside of the refrigerator or freezer door to hold small items securely. Replace a cracked or missing rack to restore door storage and prevent items from falling when the door opens and closes.

• Provides additional storage on the inner door for jars, condiments, and small items
• Helps keep contents organized and stable during door movement
• Common symptoms: broken or missing rack, items falling from the door, reduced storage space
• Restores original fit and function when the existing rack is damaged

• Unplug the appliance before servicing
• Remove items from the affected door area
• Lift or release the old rack from the end supports/slots; seat the new rack fully into the same supports
• Confirm the rack is secure before reloading and avoid overloading to prevent damage

This support is a small mounting bracket used inside the appliance to hold an interior component, such as a shelf or basket. Replacing a cracked or missing support restores a secure, level fit and helps prevent wobbling or dropping.

• Provides a stable mounting point for a shelf, basket, rail, or panel
• Keeps interior components aligned and level
• Common symptoms: shelf/basket tilts, won't seat, or falls; visible cracks or missing support
• Replace if broken, deformed, or worn to restore proper fit

This is an authentic OEM freezer basket bumper sourced directly from the manufacturer for use on freezer baskets. Freezer basket bumpers are attached to the baskets to keep them from sliding around inside the freezer. If the bumper breaks, the basket will not stay in place, and the contents could shift or fall out. Freezer baskets create more storage room inside a freezer. These baskets are normally located on the bottom of the freezer, with freezer racks located above. Freezer baskets are ideal for storing smaller packages that might not stack well on the racks. Over time, normal wear and tear may cause the bumper to crack or break completely; if this happens, the bumper should be replaced. Remove the contents of the freezer basket. Remove the freezer basket from the freezer. Push the new bumper onto the freezer basket. Replace the contents of the basket and put it back into the freezer. This handle freezer basket is made of high-quality, white molded plastic. It is designed for use in freezers manufactured by Frigidaire, Kenmore, Gibson, and Electrolux.

This replacement slide is a small guide piece that helps a movable component in your appliance travel smoothly and stay aligned, restoring easy, consistent operation when the original wears or breaks and causes sticking or rough movement.

• Guides a moving part along its track for smooth, stable travel
• Helps maintain alignment to reduce friction, binding, and uneven motion
• Worn slides can cause sticking, scraping, popping noises, or misalignment
• Visible wear, cracks, or deformation indicate the slide should be replaced

• Disconnect power and shut off gas/water supplies before servicing
• Note the original slide's orientation and mounting points for accurate reinstallation
• Reuse existing screws/clips if applicable; tighten securely without overtightening
• Cycle the component through its full travel to ensure smooth operation

Screen - drain keeps the drain path clear by trapping lint and small debris before it reaches the pump or drain hose, helping reduce clogs and improve drainage. Simple replacement restores proper water flow and drain performance. What it does:

• Traps lint, hair and small debris to help prevent clogs in the drain path
• Helps maintain consistent water drainage and pump operation
• Replace if you notice slow draining, standing water, or visible debris at the drain opening
• Sits in the appliance's drain assembly to protect downstream components

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing; turn off the water supply if the model requires it
• Access the drain area per your model's service instructions (remove access panel or wash tub components as needed)
• Inspect surrounding seals and hoses for damage and clean mating surfaces before installing the new screen
