Parts for Crosley CAE100MR10: Recommended Spare Parts

A replacement start/run capacitor that helps the refrigerator's motor(s) get up to speed for reliable cooling and circulation. Restores proper motor starting when the original capacitor has failed. What it does:

• Provides the electrical boost needed for compressor and fan motors to start and run smoothly
• Commonly replaced when motors hum, fail to start, or fridge cooling is inconsistent
• Helps prevent motor overloads and repeated hard-start cycling when functioning correctly
• Matches the original part's role in the appliance's electrical starting circuit

• Disconnect power to the appliance at the breaker before servicing
• Discharge the capacitor before touching terminals to avoid shock; use insulated tools
• Verify terminal orientation and secure wire connections; do not force fit

This replacement power cord restores AC power to compatible refrigerators by replacing a damaged or worn supply lead. It provides a direct, safe power connection so the appliance can run reliably. What it does:

• Replaces a frayed, cut, or otherwise damaged power supply cord
• Restores consistent power when the appliance will not turn on or has intermittent power
• Maintains the appliance's grounding connection for safe operation
• Prevents electrical arcing from exposed wiring or compromised insulation

• One replacement power cord

• Disconnect the appliance from the power source before inspecting or replacing the cord
• Install with the proper strain relief and secure fasteners to prevent pinching or pull-out

Replacement evaporator fan blade that moves cold air across the evaporator coil and through the refrigerator compartments to help maintain even temperatures. Restores airflow to reduce warm spots and improve overall cooling consistency. What it does:

• Spins on the evaporator fan motor to circulate cold air through the freezer and fresh-food sections.
• Restores proper airflow when the original blade is cracked, warped, or broken.
• Common symptoms prompting replacement: reduced or uneven cooling, rattling/scraping noises from the freezer, or visible blade damage.
• Helps prevent excessive frost buildup by maintaining steady airflow over the evaporator.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any service.
• Handle the blade carefully; edges and broken pieces can be sharp.
• Ensure the blade is fully seated on the motor shaft and any retaining hardware is reinstalled per the OEM's guidance.

This retainer secures a mating component in your appliance so it stays properly aligned during use. Replacing a damaged or missing retainer restores a snug fit, reduces vibration noise, and helps prevent the attached part from shifting or falling.

• Secures the attached part to prevent movement and vibration
• Maintains proper alignment and fit within the assembly
• Failure clues: attached component is loose, rattles, sags, or won't stay in place
• Visual signs: retainer is cracked, deformed, worn, or missing

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting; allow hot or moving parts to cool/stop
• Note the original orientation and position; take a quick photo for reference
• Seat the new retainer fully and transfer any original fasteners as needed
• Do not overtighten hardware; verify the held component is secure before reassembly

This cabinet is the outer housing panel that supports and protects the appliance's internal components while restoring the unit's appearance and structure. Use it to replace a damaged, dented, or corroded outer shell. What it does

• Replaces the appliance's outer housing to restore structural support and protect internal parts.
• Covers internal wiring, controls, and insulation to prevent exposure and debris entry.
• Stops drafts, gaps, or misalignment caused by bent or damaged exterior panels.
• Improves appearance by replacing dented, scratched, or corroded surfaces.

• One cabinet (outer housing) as shown.

• Disconnect power (and fuel supply if applicable) before beginning any repair.
• Removal typically requires removing trim, panels, and fasteners—keep hardware organized for reassembly.
• Be careful of sharp edges on metal panels; wear gloves and eye protection.
