Parts for Frigidaire CRA186MT20: 03 - Recommended Spare Parts

This replacement air filter screens airborne particles before they enter the appliance. Installing a clean, intact filter helps maintain proper airflow and protect internal components so the unit can operate as designed. What it does:

• Traps dust and lint before they reach the fan and internal parts
• Helps maintain smooth, unobstructed airflow
• A clogged or torn filter can cause weak airflow or unusual noise
• Replace when the filter is missing, damaged, or will not stay seated

• 1 air filter

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Open the filter access or grille and remove the old filter
• Insert the new filter in the same orientation; ensure tabs/slots fully engage
• Do not operate the appliance without a filter installed

This louver is the molded air outlet grille that directs airflow inside the appliance and helps cover the evaporator/vent area for a finished appearance. Replacing a damaged louver restores proper airflow direction and appearance. What it does:

• Directs cooled air from the evaporator into the fresh-food compartment.
• Covers and protects the vent/evaporator opening from debris.
• Helps maintain even airflow; cracked or broken louvers can cause drafts or uneven cooling.
• Restores the interior appearance when the original grille is warped, cracked, or broken.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical hazard.
• Access may require removing interior shelves, drawers, or a trim panel.
• Remove clips or retaining screws carefully; do not force the plastic to avoid breakage.
• If clips are damaged during removal, replace them to ensure a secure fit.

A replacement louver that restores the appliance's exterior venting and finished appearance. This molded air vent directs airflow and protects internal components while keeping the front grille looking clean. What it does:

• Directs and channels airflow for proper ventilation.
• Covers and protects internal components from debris and accidental contact.
• Restores the appliance's finished exterior look when the original is cracked, broken, or missing.
• Helps reduce abnormal drafts or rattling caused by a damaged vent.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before removing or installing the louver.
• Typically snaps or screws into place; align tabs/clips and press until seated or secure with fasteners if applicable.
• Handle carefully to avoid cracking the plastic; replace any broken clips to ensure a secure fit.

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 electronic control board regulates oven and range functions, interpreting user inputs and controlling displays, timers, heating elements and relays for reliable cooking cycles. Replaces a failed or unresponsive console control to restore normal operation. What it does:

• Receives button/knob signals and sends commands to heating elements, broil/convect systems, timers and indicators
• Drives the display and status indicators so controls and temperature readouts appear correctly
• Controls cycle timing and safety interlocks to enable proper oven operation
• Common signs of failure: blank or erratic display, unresponsive buttons, error codes, or heating elements that won't turn on

• One electronic control board

• Disconnect power at the fuse/circuit breaker before beginning work
• Handle the board carefully to avoid static discharge and physical damage
• Installation typically requires removing the console or control panel; keep fasteners and wiring organized

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 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

This blower wheel moves air through the dryer cabinet so clothes dry efficiently and the appliance vents properly. Replacing a worn or damaged wheel restores airflow and helps prevent overheating and long dry times. What it does:

• Spins on the blower motor shaft to draw air across the heating element and through the drum
• Restores proper airflow when a chipped or bent wheel causes reduced drying performance
• Reduces rattling or vibration caused by imbalanced or cracked fins
• Helps prevent overheating and extended cycle times due to restricted airflow

• One blower wheel

• Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before servicing to avoid electric shock or injury
• May require removal of the dryer front or blower housing and loosening the motor to slide the wheel onto the shaft
• Ensure the wheel is oriented and seated correctly on the motor shaft and that set screws or clips are tightened as required
• Inspect motor shaft and housing for debris; spin the new wheel by hand to ensure free rotation before reassembly

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.
