• 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.

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

• Release the damaged support (snap tabs or remove screw), align, and install the new support
• Reinstall the component and verify it sits level and secure

The EVAPORATOR INSULATOR is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It is a heat-resistant insulating pad or wrap that surrounds the evaporator coils. The insulator works to retain cool air and prevent warmer air from entering the refrigerated compartment.  

Causes of a bad insulator can include deterioration or breakdown of insulating properties over time due to aging materials. Cracks, holes, or compressed sections of the insulator result in reduced insulation performance.

Symptoms of a bad evaporator insulator include:

• Inconsistently cool or warmer fridge temperatures 
• Frost or ice buildup on evaporator coils or surrounding areas
• Higher than normal electric bills from inefficient cooling
• Warm or cold spots inside refrigerator shelves and compartments

This OEM Frigidaire replacement insulator is compatible with some Kitchenaid, Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator models. 

This light socket securely holds the appliance bulb and provides the electrical connection to illuminate the compartment when the door is opened. Replacing a faulty socket restores interior lighting so you can easily see contents.

• Provides the electrical connection and physical mounting for the light bulb
• Common failure symptoms: light won't turn on, flickers, or only works when the bulb is jiggled
• Show signs of heat discoloration, loose terminals, or intermittent contact

• Unplug the appliance before service; power is off
• Allow the bulb and surrounding area to cool before handling
• Handle wiring carefully; transfer conductors to the new socket one at a time to maintain correct connections
• Do not exceed the bulb type/wattage specified on the appliance rating label

A small replacement mounting clip that secures interior trim or panels on select refrigerators, helping restore a snug fit and reduce loose, rattling parts. Fits where worn or broken clips allow trim to shift. What it does:

• Holds trim, panels or small components in place to prevent rattling and movement.
• Restores proper alignment of affected panels so edges sit flush and look finished.
• Simple mechanical fastening — replaces brittle or broken clips that no longer grip.
• Helps reduce noise caused by loose interior parts during normal operation.

• Always unplug the appliance or switch off power at the breaker before servicing.
• Remove the affected trim or panel per manufacturer instructions to access the clip location.
• Press the clip into the mating slot or post until it seats securely; use a small tool if needed to avoid fingernail or surface damage.
• Inspect surrounding mounting surfaces for cracks or wear; damaged supports may require additional replacement parts.

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

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.
