Parts for Frigidaire FRA12EHT20: 03 - Recommended Spare Parts

This air filter screens the air moving through your appliance's ventilation system, capturing odors and fine particles. Replacing a clogged or damaged filter helps maintain proper airflow so the unit vents and circulates air as designed. What it does:

• Captures odors and airborne particles as air passes through the unit
• Helps maintain proper airflow/venting performance
• Reduces debris buildup on internal components
• Common signs it's due: persistent odors, reduced airflow/venting, a visibly dirty or damaged filter

• 1 air filter

• Disconnect power and allow hot surfaces to cool before servicing
• Open the filter access panel or grille and note the filter's orientation
• Remove the old filter; seat the new filter fully and close the cover
• Restore power and verify proper airflow

The Heater is an OEM part for Frigidaire air conditioners. Designed to provide supplemental heating, this heater extends the usability of your air conditioning unit into the colder months, enabling both cooling and heating from a single appliance. 

Causes of a bad heater can include electrical faults like short circuits or failing elements, accumulation of dust or debris that impedes functionality, and general wear and tear that deteriorates its components over time.

Symptoms of a bad heater include:

• Reduced heating efficiency, failing to adequately warm the space
• Circuit breaker trips when the heater is turned on
• Unusual or loud noises during operation
• Smell of burning when the heater is active

This OEM Frigidaire part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator and some Kenmore models.

This water inlet valve controls water flow to the refrigerator's ice maker and dispenser, restoring reliable water delivery when the valve is functioning properly. It replaces a failing inlet valve to stop leaks and restore dispensing and ice filling. What it does:

• Opens and closes to allow water into the ice maker and dispenser when commanded
• Stops water flow to prevent overfilling and leaks when closed
• Commonly found when the dispenser or ice maker won't fill or water flow is weak
• Can leak or drip when the valve diaphragms or seals fail
• Works with the refrigerator's water supply and control signals

• Turn off power and shut off the water supply before starting any repair
• Inspect inlet hoses and fittings for damage; replace damaged hoses to prevent leaks
• Use basic hand tools; avoid overtightening fittings which can cause leaks

This is a replacement lower cabinet base panel that supports the appliance cabinet and restores proper fit and stability. It replaces a cracked, bent, or missing base to help keep the appliance secure and aligned. What it does

• Provides structural support for the appliance cabinet and helps maintain proper clearance with the floor.
• Secures and locates leveling legs and other lower-mount hardware.
• Reduces cabinet flex and helps prevent vibration-related noise.
• Commonly used when the original base is cracked, warped, or severely corroded, or when the cabinet sits unevenly.

• Disconnect power and turn off water before beginning work.
• Remove the kickplate and any lower trim to access mounting fasteners; support the cabinet while removing the old base.
• Handle edges carefully; use proper fasteners and align the base before tightening.

This lower front toe-kick grille replaces a damaged or missing lower front panel to restore the refrigerator's finished appearance and protect the venting area. It fits into the toe-kick opening and provides a clean, finished look. What it does

• Covers the refrigerator's lower front vent/condensing area for a finished appearance
• Helps keep debris and small objects out of the vent opening
• Replaces cracked, warped, or missing toe-kick panels that detract from the appliance's look
• Restores proper panel alignment and cosmetic appearance after damage

• Disconnect power or unplug the appliance before working near electrical components.
• Many installations use snap-in tabs or a few fasteners; remove the old grille and align tabs, then press or secure per the service manual.
• Use basic hand tools and follow the model-specific service instructions for safe removal and reinstallation.

This fastener kit supplies the assorted screws and clips used to secure panels and components on compatible Frigidaire appliances, helping restore proper fit and stop loose or rattling parts. Ideal for repairs where original mounting hardware is missing or damaged. What it does:

• Replaces worn, missing or damaged mounting hardware so panels, brackets and trim stay secure
• Helps eliminate vibration noise and loose-fitting parts that cause rattling
• Restores correct alignment for doors, panels or internal assemblies that use small fasteners
• Provides the specific fasteners needed for the factory-replacement process

• Basic hand tools (screwdrivers, nut drivers) are typically required; refer to your model's service manual for exact fastener locations and torque
• Turn off power and disconnect the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Handle small parts carefully and keep them away from children and pets

This tube routes water to the refrigerator ice/water system, restoring proper water delivery to the ice maker or dispenser. It replaces worn, cracked, or clogged tubing to help stop leaks and improve fill performance. What it does

• Carries water from the supply to the ice maker/water dispenser assembly
• Replaces damaged or cracked tubing that can leak or restrict flow
• Helps restore normal ice production and proper dispenser flow when tubing is the cause
• Works as a direct-fit replacement for the specific OEM routing and connections

• One replacement tube as shown

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before starting
• Inspect fittings for damage and replace seals if needed; tighten fittings to OEM torque
• Handle tubing gently to avoid kinks; route along original path and secure with existing clips

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 run capacitor helps the refrigerator's motor start and run more reliably, reducing strain on the compressor and fan. Replacing a failing capacitor can restore normal motor operation and help the appliance cool properly. What it does:

• Provides the electrical phase shift needed for motor start and continuous operation
• Helps reduce motor overheating and hard-start symptoms
• Commonly replaced when motors hum, won't start, or cycle erratically
• Supports steady compressor and fan performance for consistent cooling

• One run capacitor (single unit as pictured)

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing the capacitor
• Discharge the capacitor safely before handling to avoid shock
• Verify terminal markings and wiring; replace with same type and ratings

A handheld replacement remote control that restores convenient, wireless operation of your appliance's basic functions. Use it to power the unit on/off and change settings from across the room without touching the control panel. What it does:

• Sends wireless commands to the appliance to control power, temperature, fan speed, and mode selection.
• Replaces a lost, damaged, or unresponsive remote to regain full remote operation.
• Uses standard batteries.

• Insert fresh batteries before first use and follow the appliance's pairing or sync procedure if required.
• Keep remote dry and avoid dropping; do not attempt to open or service the remote—replace if internal damage is suspected.
• Dispose of batteries properly and remove batteries if storing the remote for extended periods.
