Parts for Frigidaire CAHE18ERA: 03 - Recommended Spare Parts

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 outer cabinet restores the refrigerator's exterior shell, providing structural support and a clean finished appearance. Replace a damaged or corroded cabinet to protect internal components and improve the appliance's look. What it does:

• Replaces the refrigerator's outer cabinet panel and supports internal components
• Helps prevent exposure of insulation and wiring caused by dents, rust, or holes
• Restores proper alignment for doors and trim when cabinet warping affects fit
• Improves appliance appearance by replacing scratched, dented, or discolored outer shell

• One outer cabinet

• Disconnect power (and water if applicable) before beginning work
• Removal/installation may require door, trim, and shelving removal
• Two people and basic hand tools are often needed due to size and weight
• Follow all safety instructions in the manufacturer's installation guide

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.

This replacement tube routes water inside the refrigerator to the ice maker or dispenser, restoring reliable water flow and preventing leaks. Use it when the existing tube is cracked, pinched, or blocked. What it does:

• Directs water from the inlet toward the ice maker or dispenser assembly
• Ensures a sealed path to prevent drips and internal leaks
• Helps maintain proper water delivery for ice production and dispensing
• A damaged or clogged tube can cause reduced water flow, leaking, or ice production issues

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before beginning work
• Inspect adjoining fittings and seals; replace any damaged clamps or gaskets
• Route the tube exactly as the original to avoid kinks or pinches

This condenser coil assembly releases heat from the refrigerant so the refrigerator can cool efficiently. Replaces a damaged or corroded condenser to restore normal cooling performance and help prevent compressor overwork. What it does:

• Dissipates heat from the refrigerant after compression to allow the refrigerant to condense back to liquid form
• Helps maintain proper operating temperature so the freezer and fresh-food sections stay cold
• Commonly associated with symptoms such as warm interior temperatures, excessive compressor run time, or visible coil damage/corrosion
• Works with the condenser fan and compressor as part of the refrigerator's cooling loop

• One condenser coil assembly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning work to prevent shock or injury
• Access may require removing rear or bottom access panels; keep fasteners organized for reassembly
• Handle the coil carefully—bent fins reduce airflow and cooling efficiency; use a fin comb if needed

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 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
