Parts for Frigidaire CAHE12ERA: 03 - Recommended Spare Parts

This electronic control board manages the appliance's user controls and electronic functions so buttons, displays, and timed cycles operate correctly. Replacing a faulty board can restore normal control response and display behavior. What it does:

• Receives user inputs and sends control signals to motors, valves, heaters, and displays
• Manages timed cycles, settings, and electronic diagnostics
• Can cause unresponsive buttons, blank or erratic display, or failure to start when faulty
• Works as the central logic module coordinating other electronic components

• One electronic control board (single complete assembly)

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before service to avoid shock
• Handle the board by its edges and avoid static discharge; wear an ESD strap if available
• Installation typically requires removing the control console or access panel and unplugging harness connectors

This thermistor is the refrigerator temperature sensor that helps the control board monitor and regulate cooling. Replacing a failed thermistor restores accurate temperature readings for more consistent fridge and freezer performance. What it does:

• Senses internal air temperature and sends that information to the control board
• Helps the defrost and compressor cycles run at the correct times
• Commonly linked to symptoms like inconsistent temperatures, error codes, or a unit that runs constantly
• Does not control cooling directly but provides the temperature feedback the system needs

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before beginning service
• Typically located in the fresh food or freezer compartment near the evaporator
• Handle the sensor and wiring gently; avoid pulling on the wires or bending the probe sharply
• If troubleshooting, verify wiring and sensor resistance per the manufacturer's service instructions before replacement

This replacement power cord connects your range or oven to the household electrical outlet, restoring safe, reliable power and helping the appliance run normally. Designed to match OEM fit and function where specified. What it does:

• Supplies main electrical power to the range/oven so burners, oven and controls can operate.
• Replaces frayed, cut or heat-damaged cords that can cause intermittent power or visible damage.
• Helps resolve symptoms such as the appliance not powering on, tripped breakers when plugged in, or visible cord damage.
• Restores a secure cord connection when the original cord or strain relief is loose or worn.

• One replacement power cord.

• Always disconnect power at the breaker before inspecting or replacing the cord.
• Route the cord and secure the strain relief per the appliance's installation instructions.
• Tighten terminal connections firmly and confirm no bare wires are exposed.

This capacitor supplies the temporary electrical boost motor compressors need to start and run smoothly. Replacing a failed capacitor can restore reliable startup and help the refrigerator maintain proper cooling performance. What it does:

• Provides a momentary voltage boost to the compressor motor during startup
• Helps the compressor run more efficiently and prevents hard-starting
• Commonly linked to symptoms like a humming compressor, repeated clicking, or no-start condition
• Prevents excessive stress on start relays and other starting components when functioning properly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any work
• Capacitors can hold charge—discharge safely with insulated tools
• Handle terminals carefully and match polarity/terminals to the original part

This replacement evaporator fan blade circulates cold air across the freezer and refrigerator compartments to help maintain even temperatures and efficient cooling. Designed to match the OEM shape for proper airflow and fit. What it does:

• Spins on the evaporator fan motor to move cold air through the evaporator and into the cabinet
• Helps stabilize internal temperatures and reduce frost buildup when operating correctly
• Commonly replaced when cracked, chipped, warped, or causing unusual noise or poor airflow
• Restores proper airflow to improve cooling performance when the original blade is damaged

• One fan blade

• Disconnect power before servicing the appliance to avoid electrical shock or injury
• Inspect the motor shaft and mounting for damage; clean debris before installing the new blade
• Ensure the blade is seated fully and rotates freely without rubbing against the housing
• If the motor shows excessive wear or noise, replace the motor assembly as needed rather than just the blade
