This solenoid actuator is the electromechanical device that moves a latch or linkage when energized, restoring the appliance's intended mechanical action. It provides a direct replacement to re-enable reliable actuation. What it does:

• Converts electrical signal into a mechanical push or pull to operate a latch, door, dispenser or linkage
• Commonly used where a timed or motor-driven movement is needed during a cycle
• Symptoms this part can cause: appliance fails to actuate a door, latch, dispenser or similar mechanism when called for
• Replacing a worn or failed actuator restores proper mechanical response to control signals

• One solenoid actuator

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning work to avoid shock or unintended actuation
• Remove any panels or trim as needed to access the actuator; note wire and mounting locations for reassembly
• Reconnect wiring and test the function on a short cycle after installation

This is a replacement screw used to secure panels, trim and other appliance components to restore proper fit and reduce rattling. It matches the OEM part form and fastening function for compatible Frigidaire appliances. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets or trim to maintain proper alignment and appearance
• Replaces missing, stripped or damaged screws that cause loose parts or vibration
• Helps prevent rattling and keeps components seated for safe operation
• Restores original fastening where a worn or corroded screw failed

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair to avoid electrical hazard
• Use the correct screwdriver or driver bit and hand-start threads to avoid cross-threading
• Tighten until snug; avoid overtightening which can strip threads or damage panels
• If thread damage is present, replace with the correct OEM fastener (do not force)

This is a factory-style replacement screw used to secure appliance components. It restores proper fastening where the original screw is missing, stripped, or damaged so panels and assemblies stay firmly attached. What it does:

• Fastens panels, brackets, or components to the appliance frame or assemblies
• Replaces missing or damaged mounting hardware that can cause rattles or loose parts
• Provides the correct fit and thread engagement for a secure connection
• Helps maintain appliance alignment and safe operation

• Use the matching screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head
• Tighten until snug; do not over-torque to prevent thread or part damage
• Turn off power and remove any access panels before working on electrical components

This cantilever shelf clip secures a refrigerator cantilever shelf in place so shelves stay level and stable. It replaces a cracked or missing clip to restore proper shelf support and prevent shifting or slippage. What it does:

• Holds the cantilever shelf bracket/tier in the refrigerator liner to keep the shelf properly positioned
• Prevents shelf from tipping, sliding, or falling when items are placed on it
• Replaces worn, cracked, or broken clips that no longer grip the shelf brackets
• Works with standard cantilever-style shelving systems used in many refrigerators

• One cantilever shelf clip

• Remove food and glass shelves/trim as needed for safe access before replacing the clip
• Align clip with the shelf bracket slot and press firmly until it snaps into place; do not force beyond normal fit
• Handle glass shelves carefully to avoid breakage; wear gloves and eye protection if needed

Right hand side. For the left hand side order 241674401

This control rod bracket secures the control rod to the appliance, restoring proper linkage and part alignment for reliable operation. Designed to replace a worn or broken mounting bracket and stabilize control movement. What it does:

• Holds the control rod in place so levers and linkages operate smoothly
• Restores proper alignment when the rod is loose, bent, or detached
• Helps eliminate binding or intermittent actuator movement caused by a damaged bracket
• Supports consistent mechanical operation of the connected control components

• One control rod mounting bracket

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Remove any panels or covers as needed to access the bracket; keep fasteners organized for reassembly
• Inspect adjacent linkage and fasteners; replace any damaged clips or screws for a secure fit

This temperature control thermostat regulates refrigerator cooling by cycling the compressor and fans to maintain set temperatures. Replaces a faulty thermostat to restore proper temperature control and more consistent cooling. What it does

• Senses cabinet temperature and closes or opens the electrical circuit to run the compressor and cooling system
• Helps maintain steady temperatures so food stays properly chilled or frozen
• Commonly replaces a thermostat that causes the unit to run constantly, not run at all, or fail to reach set temperatures
• Works with the fridge's control assembly to respond to user temperature adjustments

• One temperature control thermostat

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Locate the thermostat behind the control knob or panel; refer to your model's service manual for exact access
• Handle the capillary tube and sensor bulb carefully to avoid kinks or damage

This humidity control is the sliding damper used on the refrigerator crisper drawer to adjust air flow and humidity. It helps preserve fruits and vegetables by limiting airflow to maintain a higher-moisture drawer environment. What it does:

• Opens or closes the crisper drawer vent to increase or reduce airflow and moisture exchange.
• Lets you set higher humidity for produce that needs moisture or lower humidity to reduce condensation.
• Commonly replaced when the slider is cracked, missing, loose, or no longer moves smoothly.
• A damaged control can contribute to dried-out produce or excessive moisture buildup in the drawer.

• Unplug the appliance before inspecting or replacing the part.
• Remove the crisper drawer per your model's instructions to access the slider; replace with the new control in the same orientation.
• Handle plastic parts gently to avoid cracking; test slider movement before reassembling.
