• Light remaining constantly on even when door is closed
• Inconsistent or intermittent lighting

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

This spacer fits between the fixed crusher blades inside the refrigerator's ice bucket assembly. It preserves the correct gap and alignment so the auger turns freely and crushed ice dispenses smoothly without jams or grinding.

• Maintains the correct spacing between fixed crusher blades in the ice bucket
• Keeps the blade stack and auger aligned for smooth rotation
• Helps prevent ice jams, grinding noises, and inconsistent crushed-ice output
• Replaces a worn, cracked, or missing spacer discovered during service

• Disconnect power before servicing; remove the ice bucket from the freezer door/bin
• Carefully disassemble the crusher housing, noting the exact order of blades, spacers, and washers
• Wear cut-resistant gloves; crusher blades are sharp
• Reassemble in the original sequence and verify the auger turns freely before reinstalling

This position-specific ice crusher blade (#1) fits inside the refrigerator's ice bucket assembly. It helps break up cubes into crushed ice; replacing a bent or worn blade restores consistent crushing and reduces jams or grinding noises during dispensing.

• Works with the auger and other numbered blades to crush ice when "Crush" is selected
• A bent, dull, or corroded blade can lead to no crushed ice, only cubes, slow dispensing, or scraping/grinding noises
• Restores even crushing and smoother auger rotation
• Position- and orientation-specific within the blade stack; match to your original

• Disconnect power and switch the ice maker OFF before servicing
• Remove and empty the ice bucket; allow any frost to thaw
• Disassemble the bucket front/auger and note the exact blade order and orientation—take photos for reference
• Wear cut-resistant gloves; reassemble blades, spacers, and washers exactly as removed and verify the auger turns freely before reinstalling

This defrost heater kit restores the automatic defrost cycle by melting frost from the freezer's evaporator coils. Replacing a failed heater helps clear ice buildup, restore airflow, and stabilize temperatures for reliable cooling performance.

• Heats the evaporator during defrost to remove frost and ice
• Helps maintain proper airflow through the coils for consistent cooling
• Common symptoms of a failed heater: heavy frost on the back freezer wall, weak airflow, warming temps, or cooling that improves after a manual defrost
• Supports efficient operation by preventing ice from re-forming on the evaporator

• Unplug the refrigerator before servicing; let any sharp parts or coils warm up to avoid damage
• Access the heater behind the freezer's rear panel; handle the element carefully to avoid damage
• Note wire routing and mounting before removal to match the original configuration
• Check the defrost thermostat and defrost control/timer for proper operation

The Frigidaire Refrigerator Water Filter Cover is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It serves as a protective casing for the water filter, ensuring it is shielded from damage and securely in place within the appliance. This cover helps maintain the aesthetic integrity of the interior of your refrigerator while also providing easy access for filter changes.

Causes of a bad water filter cover can include physical damage such as cracks or breaks, which may occur from accidental impacts or during the filter replacement process.  

Symptoms of a bad Water Filter Cover include:

• Difficulty in accessing or replacing the water filter
• Loose fit that can lead to vibration or noise
• Visible damage like cracks or warping

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

This replacement screw secures refrigerator components such as brackets, trims, and covers. Replace missing or stripped hardware to keep parts tight and aligned, helping eliminate rattles and restoring a solid, reliable fit.

• 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

This auger motor powers the ice dispenser, rotating the ice-bin auger to feed cubes or crushed ice to the door chute. A failed motor stops dispensing, leaving ice in the bucket when the paddle or lever is pressed.

• Drives the auger that moves ice from the bin to the dispenser chute
• Restores dispensing when the original motor is seized or burned out
• Common symptoms: no ice through the door, auger doesn't turn, motor only hums or clicks
• Note: Won't resolve issues from a jammed auger, frozen ice bucket, or broken drive parts

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Remove the ice bin to access the motor area as designed on your model
• Note wire orientation; transfer any reusable brackets or hardware from the original motor
• Align the drive interface and secure; test both cube and crush functions before reassembly

The defrost drain pan collects water that melts off the evaporator during automatic defrost and holds it near the warm compressor so it can evaporate. Replacing a damaged pan helps prevent leaks, puddles, and odors around the base of the refrigerator.

• Collects defrost water routed from the evaporator drain
• Positions water in warm airflow near the compressor for evaporation
• Replace if the pan is cracked, warped, missing, or leaking
• Symptoms can include water on the floor, moisture under the unit, or musty odors

• Unplug the refrigerator; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Pull the unit forward and remove the lower rear access panel to reach the pan near the compressor
• Lift out the old pan; transfer any reusable clips/brackets; seat the new pan under the drain tube and ensure it's level and clear of moving parts
• Reinstall the panel, restore power, and check for proper drainage and evaporation

This is the drive gear for the ice maker module. It transfers motor power to the ejector/harvest mechanism so cubes release consistently; worn or stripped teeth can cause clicking, stalls, or little to no ice production.

• Transfers motor torque to rotate the ejector and complete the harvest cycle
• Replaces a cracked, stripped, or worn gear that prevents proper ice ejection
• Typical symptoms: no ice production, icemaker stuck mid-cycle, clicking or grinding from the module
• Helps restore reliable ice maker cycling

• Unplug the refrigerator before service; turn off the water supply if moving the icemaker
• Remove the icemaker assembly for access; note the original gear's orientation before removal
• Align the new gear with the shaft; do not force it—inspect mating parts for wear
• After reassembly, verify the ejector turns freely; restore power and run a test cycle

This ice crusher blade (#2) mounts in the freezer's ice bucket assembly. It helps break up cubes for the Crushed Ice setting and can restore smooth dispensing when the original blade becomes bent, dull, or broken.

• Mounts inside the ice bucket crusher to slice/crush cubes when Crushed Ice is selected
• Helps maintain consistent ice flow and size through the dispenser
• Wear or damage may lead to no crushed ice, only whole cubes dispensing, jamming, or grinding noises
• Visible bending, dull edges, or a missing blade are common failure signs

• Disconnect power and remove the ice bin from the freezer
• Disassemble the crusher housing to access the blades; note the order/orientation of blade #1 and blade #2 before removal
• Wear cut-resistant gloves—edges are sharp
• Reassemble in the same order, tighten fasteners, reinstall the bin, and test the dispenser
