Parts for Frigidaire CAHE18ER0: 03 - Recommended Spare Parts

This electronic control module regulates the appliance's functions, cycles and user interface so the unit runs correctly and responds to commands. Replacing a faulty control box restores proper control of cycles and displays. What it does:

• Manages cycle selection, timing and sequencing for the appliance
• Controls user interface elements such as buttons, touchpads and display responses
• Activates relays and outputs that run motors, heaters and valves as commanded
• Symptoms of a failing unit: unresponsive controls, no display, intermittent operation or failure to start
• Can resolve error codes or malfunctions traced to the control electronics

• Disconnect power (and water if applicable) before servicing to avoid shock or damage
• Handle the module carefully and avoid contact with circuit traces; observe ESD precautions
• Match connectors and mounting points; do not force the module into place

This capacitor helps start and run the refrigerator's compressor and/or fan motors so the appliance cools reliably. Replaces a worn or failed capacitor to restore normal motor operation and reduce hard-starting. What it does:

• Provides the initial electrical boost motors need to start turning
• Helps maintain steady motor speed during operation
• Commonly linked to symptoms like compressors that hum but don't start
• Needed if refrigerator cycles frequently or cooling is inconsistent

• One capacitor

• Disconnect power before accessing electrical components
• Discharge the capacitor before touching terminals to avoid shock
• Verify wiring and terminal orientation before reconnecting

This oven temperature sensor detects the internal temperature and sends readings to the range control so the oven can maintain accurate cooking temperatures. Replaces a failed or intermittent sensor to restore reliable temperature control. What it does:

• Senses oven cavity temperature and provides temperature data to the control board
• Helps the control maintain set bake/roast temperatures
• Common symptom: oven temperature is incorrect or fluctuates during cooking
• Common symptom: cook cycles take too long or oven does not reach set temperature
• Common symptom: oven displays a temperature sensor or sensor fault code

• One oven temperature sensor (1 each)

• Disconnect electrical power to the appliance before removing or installing the sensor
• Handle the sensor carefully to avoid damaging the probe or wiring and ensure proper connector seating
• Inspect wiring and connector for damage; replace if frayed or corroded

This replacement tube routes water to the refrigerator's dispenser or ice maker so the system can fill correctly and avoid leaks. It restores normal water flow when the original line is damaged or clogged. What it does:

• Directs water from the supply to the dispenser/ice maker
• Restores normal fill when a cracked or clogged tube prevents flow
• Helps stop dripping or pooling caused by a split or pinched line
• Keeps the water path sealed to reduce chance of leaks at weak spots

• One replacement water tube

• Shut off power and the water supply before starting; follow manufacturer safety steps
• Inspect fittings and clamps; replace or tighten hardware as needed for a leak-free seal
• Cut tube squarely and seat fully into push-fit or barbed fittings per OEM guidance

This dryer lint filter captures lint and debris from the dryer's airflow to help maintain efficient drying and reduce lint buildup. Easy to remove and clean for routine maintenance and safer operation. What it does:

• Traps lint and fibers before they enter the exhaust system
• Helps maintain proper airflow for more consistent drying performance
• Reduces the chance of lint buildup that can cause longer dry times or overheating
• Makes routine maintenance simple — clean the screen after each load

• Remove power to the dryer before servicing; allow the dryer to cool
• Slide or snap the filter into the filter housing according to factory orientation
• Clean lint from the screen regularly with a soft brush or by rinsing and fully drying before reinstalling
• Refer to your dryer's user manual for any model-specific instructions or precautions

A replacement dryer heater assembly that supplies the hot air needed to dry clothes. Restores normal drying performance when the original heater element fails or stops producing heat. What it does

• Heats air passing through the dryer drum so laundry dries efficiently.
• Commonly replaces a failed or open heating element causing no heat or long drying times.
• Works with the dryer's blower and thermostats to maintain operating temperature.
• Helps resolve symptoms like clothes remaining damp or extended cycle times.

• One heater assembly as shown.

• Disconnect power to the dryer before servicing to avoid shock or injury.
• Access typically requires removing the dryer rear or front panel; follow the model's service manual.
• Inspect related parts when replacing the heater.

This replacement blade fan moves cold air across the evaporator to help maintain even temperatures inside the compartment. It restores proper airflow for more consistent cooling and helps reduce frost buildup when working with a good motor. What it does:

• Circulates air across the evaporator to distribute cold air through the compartment
• Restores airflow when a cracked, warped, or missing blade reduces cooling efficiency
• Helps reduce uneven temperatures and localized warm spots caused by poor airflow
• Can reduce abnormal noises caused by damaged or unbalanced blades

• One replacement blade fan

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Remove the evaporator cover/panel to access the fan assembly per your model's service instructions
• Handle the replacement blade carefully to avoid bending the blades or contaminating the evaporator
• If the fan motor or mounting hardware is damaged, replace those parts as well for reliable operation

This screw kit is a replacement hardware pack used to restore secure fastening of appliance panels and components. It provides the standard mounting screws needed when original fasteners are missing, damaged, or worn. What it does:

• Replaces missing or stripped screws that hold panels, trim, or small assemblies in place
• Restores secure fit to reduce rattling, vibration, or loose parts
• Helps correct minor alignment issues caused by lost fasteners
• Useful when preparing for panel removal/reinstallation during service

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing.
• Use the correct screwdriver or driver bit to avoid stripping screw heads.
• Tighten screws until snug; avoid overtightening to prevent damage.
• Follow OEM service instructions.
