The Defrost Heater Kit is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. This part is responsible for melting frost and ice buildup on the evaporator coils during the defrost cycle.  

Causes of a bad defrost heater can include regular wear and tear, electrical issues, or physical damage.  

Symptoms of a bad defrost heater include:

• Excessive frost or ice buildup in the freezer
• The refrigerator or freezer not cooling properly
• The defrost cycle not initiating
• Water leaking inside the refrigerator due to melting ice

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

This center hinge pin supports the refrigerator door at the middle hinge and serves as the pivot point. Replacing a worn pin restores smooth door movement and helps the door align and seal properly.

The Door Stop is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. This small part helps protect the appliance's door from damage and prevents it from impacting walls or adjacent cabinetry, ensuring the longevity and integrity of your refrigerator's exterior. 

Causes of a bad Door Stop can range from physical damage due to forceful door opening, to normal wear and tear from repeated use. In some cases, the mounting area for the door stop may become worn or damaged, affecting its ability to hold the door stop securely.

Symptoms of a bad Door Stop include:

• The refrigerator door swings open wider than usual
• Noticeable wear, damage, or breakage on the door stop
• Difficulty in opening or closing the door smoothly

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

• Fastens interior or exterior components to the cabinet or doors
• Replaces missing, rusty, or stripped hardware
• Helps reduce vibration noises from loose parts
• Restores proper fit and alignment of panels, trims, or covers

• Disconnect power; turn off water supply if working near the dispenser or ice system
• Retain and reuse any original spacers or washers
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly without overtightening
• Replace one fastener at a time to maintain alignment

GRILLE/KICKPLATE

This damper control knob fits the refrigerator's air damper. It attaches to the damper control so you can open or close airflow between the freezer and fresh food compartments when the original knob is cracked, stripped, or missing.

• Attaches to the damper control shaft to adjust airflow from the freezer into the refrigerator compartment
• Direct replacement for a knob that is broken, missing, or stripped
• Symptoms can include a loose or slipping control, difficulty turning, or settings that won't stay in place
• If the control can't be turned, temperature response to damper adjustments may be inconsistent

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Pull the old knob straight off the control shaft; avoid prying to prevent damage
• Align the new knob with the shaft and press it on until fully seated
• Rotate through the full range to ensure smooth operation without forcing

This turntable roller assembly sits under the glass tray to support and guide it as it rotates. Replacing a worn or damaged ring helps restore smooth tray movement for more even heating and dependable microwave performance.

• Supports the glass tray and allows smooth, consistent rotation
• Helps prevent tray wobble, binding, or scraping noises
• Can address issues like the tray not turning or uneven cooking
• Replaces cracked, warped, or missing roller rings

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Remove the glass tray, lift out the old ring, and clean the cavity floor
• Place the new ring wheels-down, seat the tray on the coupler, and test rotation
• Do not operate the microwave without the roller ring and tray properly installed

This center hinge spacer sits on the refrigerator's center hinge pin to keep the door properly spaced and pivoting smoothly. Replacing a worn spacer helps restore even door alignment and a reliable gasket seal for easier opening and closing. What it does

• Maintains the correct gap between the door and center hinge to prevent metal-to-metal wear
• Supports smooth, quiet door movement on the hinge pin
• Helps keep the door level so the gasket seals evenly
• Worn or missing spacers can lead to door sagging, rubbing/squeaking, or doors that don't close cleanly

• One center hinge spacer

• Disconnect power and remove items from the door; support the door before loosening hinge hardware
• Lift the door off the center hinge pin and remove the old spacer
• Place the new spacer on the hinge pin, reinstall the door, and check alignment and seal
• Re-tighten hinge fasteners and verify the door opens/closes smoothly

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 defrost pan collects water from the refrigerator's automatic defrost cycle and sits over warm components so it can evaporate safely. Replace a cracked or deformed pan to help prevent floor puddles and musty odors. What it does:

• Collects defrost condensate and allows it to evaporate in the machine compartment
• Helps keep floors dry by managing defrost water
• Replace if the pan is cracked, warped, leaking, or missing
• Common symptoms include water under the refrigerator, recurring puddles, or musty odors

• 1 defrost drain pan

• Disconnect power and pull the refrigerator away from the wall before servicing
• Remove the rear access panel to reach the drain pan
• Slide out the old pan carefully and empty any water; reuse any original supports/brackets if present
• Set the new pan on its supports, ensure the drain outlet/tube drips into the pan, reinstall the panel, restore power, and check for leaks

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

Bottom air diffuser directs cold air into the refrigerator's lower cabinet to help maintain even temperatures and reduce warm spots. Replacing a damaged diffuser restores proper airflow and helps the fresh-food section cool more consistently. What it does:

• Redirects cold air from the cooling channel into the refrigerator's lower cabinet for balanced cooling.
• Helps reduce warm spots and uneven temperatures in the fresh-food area.
• A cracked, broken, or missing diffuser can lead to restricted airflow and inconsistent cabinet temperatures.
• Seats into the lower air channel and secures with factory tabs or fasteners; inspect mounting tabs for damage.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before performing any service.
• Remove shelves and drawers as needed for access; work carefully around evaporator/air channels.
• Gently release and re-seat plastic tabs or remove fasteners; avoid forcing parts to prevent breakage.
• If tabs are damaged, replace them or consider replacing adjacent vent components to ensure a secure fit.
