This handheld remote control lets you operate compatible Frigidaire appliances from a distance, restoring convenient control of modes, temperatures, and timers without touching the main unit. What it does:

• Sends remote commands to the appliance so you can change modes, fan speed, temperature, or timers from across the room
• Replaces a lost, cracked, or unresponsive remote to regain full remote functionality
• Helps when the appliance doesn't respond to the existing remote or when buttons stick or fail
• Uses standard battery power

• One handheld remote control

• Insert fresh batteries and aim the remote at the appliance's IR receiver; check batteries first when troubleshooting
• Re-pairing or simple setup may be required per the appliance owner's manual—follow OEM instructions if prompted
• Keep remote dry and avoid dropping; remove batteries if storing long-term
• Recycle or dispose of old batteries and electronics according to local regulations

This replacement capacitor stores and releases electrical energy to support proper operation of the appliance's circuit. Replacing a weakened or failed capacitor restores reliable startup and smooth performance in the affected component.

• Stores electrical energy and delivers a brief boost during startup as designed by the circuit
• Helps stabilize operation, reducing humming, stalling, or overheating from a weak capacitor
• Common signs include motors that hum but won't start, intermittent operation, breaker trips
• Visual clues of failure: swollen case, leaking oil, or burnt odor

• Disconnect power and verify no voltage is present before servicing
• Properly discharge the old capacitor using safe, approved procedures
• Note wire positions or take a photo; transfer leads to the matching terminals securely
• Mount securely in the existing bracket/strap; keep terminals clear of contact and test operation

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 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 replacement cover is an access panel that protects internal components and keeps the appliance exterior finished. It restores a clean appearance and helps prevent dust, debris, and accidental contact with internal parts. What it does:

• Covers and protects internal appliance components behind the cabinet or control area
