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 Heater is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. This heater is responsible for melting frost that accumulates on the evaporator coils during the cooling cycles, ensuring that the refrigerator and freezer operate efficiently and maintain proper temperatures. This assembly also includes a defrost thermostat, which monitors the temperature and ensures that the heater operates as needed.

Common causes of a bad defrost heater include electrical failures, damage from ice accumulation, and general wear from repeated heating cycles.

Symptoms of a bad defrost heater include:

• Frost buildup on the evaporator coils
• The refrigerator or freezer not maintaining the correct temperature
• The refrigerator running continuously without proper cooling
• Water leakage inside the refrigerator due to melting ice

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

The Thermistor is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire Freezers. It is a temperature-sensitive electronic component located inside the freezer that helps monitor and regulate interior temperatures. 

Causes of a bad thermistor can include failure over time due to normal usage or moisture damage. Without proper monitoring, interior temperatures could fluctuate unpredictably.

Symptoms of a bad thermistor include: 

• Inconsistent or inaccurate temperature readings  
• Temperature control issues where the freezer is too warm or cold
• The compressor and cooling system cycling on and off excessively
• Frost or ice buildup in unexpected areas

This OEM Frigidaire part is also compatible with brands including Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and select Kenmore models.
