The Evaporator Cover Gasket seals the perimeter of the freezer's evaporator cover to prevent air leaks that can lead to frost, moisture, and temperature swings. Replacing a worn gasket helps restore proper airflow and consistent cooling.

• Seals the evaporator cover to the liner to maintain directed airflow and contain cold air
• Helps prevent frost or ice buildup around the cover and on nearby air passages
• Can help address symptoms like temperature inconsistencies, poor cooling, or excess moisture caused by air leaks
• Replaces a torn, flattened, or missing gasket to ensure a tight cover fit

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Remove freezer shelves/bins and the evaporator cover to access the gasket
• Clean mating surfaces; press the new gasket fully into place with no gaps or twists
• Ensure air vents are unobstructed, reinstall the cover securely, then restore power

This receptacle is the mating socket for a plug-in refrigerator component, providing a secure connection for reliable operation. Replacing a worn or heat-damaged socket restores solid contact and helps prevent intermittent performance.

• Serves as the socket/interface for a plug-in component inside the appliance

• 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

Replacement slide restores smooth, reliable movement for a single appliance drawer or shelf. Replacing a worn or damaged slide can stop sticking, sagging, or misaligned travel and restore proper alignment. What it does:

• Guides and supports the drawer or shelf along its track for smooth opening and closing; symptoms: sticking, binding, or incomplete travel.
• Keeps the drawer aligned and prevents sagging or tilting; symptoms: drawer sits uneven or rubs against the cabinet.
• Replaces worn, cracked or broken slide hardware to reduce noise and catch/drag during use; symptoms: grinding, rattling, or sudden drops.
• Enables consistent load support and smoother operation after wear or accidental damage.

• Disconnect power or unplug the appliance if work requires removing panels near electrical components; follow appliance safety guidance.
• Remove drawer or shelf and inspect mating rails and fasteners; replace damaged screws or clips before installing the slide.
• Use appropriate hand tools and avoid forcing parts; align slide evenly and test full travel before returning the drawer to service.

This replacement screw secures appliance components so brackets, shelves, trim, or panels stay firmly in place. Install a new screw when the original is missing, stripped, or corroded to restore a tight, rattle-free fit.

• Fastens brackets, panels, trim, or covers to the cabinet or liner
• Helps maintain alignment and reduce vibration and noise
• Direct replacement for a missing, rusted, or stripped fastener
• Use wherever your model's parts diagram specifies this screw

• Disconnect power before servicing; shut off water if working near water lines
• Match thread and length to the original location as shown in your model's parts diagram
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly without overtightening (especially into plastic)
• Retain and transfer any original spacers or clips used with this fastener

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.

Quantity of 1 clip.

• 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

The CONDENSER COIL is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It is a refrigerant-cooled heat exchanger located in the refrigerator's condenser housing or outlet grille area. The condenser coil works to liquefy hot refrigerant gas into liquid form during the compressor's condensing process, dissipating heat from the refrigeration system. 

Symptoms of a bad condenser coil can include:

• Inadequate or inconsistent cooling, with warm or lukewarm refrigerator temperatures 
• The compressor running frequently or continuously even when doors are closed
• Old or strange odors coming from the condenser area
• Frost or ice buildup around the condenser coil

Causes of a bad condenser coil may include mineral or dirt buildup inhibiting heat transfer, physical damage to coil fins or tubing, or failure of the condenser fan that aids in heat removal.

This OEM Frigidaire replacement is compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and select Kenmore designs.
