Frigidaire Refrigerator PLHT189CSBB Fridge too warm

The Defrost Timer is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It is an essential electronic component that controls the automated defrost cycle of the refrigerator. The defrost timer monitors run times and temperatures to determine when to initiate the defrost process. It allows the refrigerator to operate efficiently by preventing excessive ice buildup. This defrost timer is designed to run for 30 minutes every 8 hours. 

Symptoms of a bad defrost timer include: 

• Inability to initiate or maintain the defrost cycle 
• Excessive ice buildup in the freezer compartment
• Erratic temperature fluctuations
• The refrigerator running excessively or displaying other performance issues

Causes of a bad defrost timer can be normal wear and tear over time. Environmental factors like power surges or fluctuations may also impact the electronic timer functionality. 

This OEM Frigidaire part can also be used on Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.

The Evaporator Fan Motor Kit is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It is crucial for the circulation of air over the evaporator coils, helping to distribute cold air throughout the refrigerator and freezer compartments. This ensures that the appliance maintains the correct temperature to keep food fresh and prevent spoilage.

Causes of a bad Evaporator Fan Motor Kit can include motor burnout due to continuous use, obstructions that hinder fan movement, or electrical issues that prevent the motor from functioning correctly.

Symptoms of a bad Evaporator Fan Motor Kit include:

• The refrigerator or freezer section is too warm
• Unusual noises emanating from the fan area
• The motor does not run despite power to the refrigerator

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

The Defrost Thermostat is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire refrigerators. This component plays a crucial role in regulating the defrost cycle, which is responsible for removing any built-up frost or ice from the freezer compartment.

Symptoms that may indicate the need to replace the defrost thermostat include:

• Excessive frost or ice buildup in the freezer
• The refrigerator not maintaining proper temperature levels
• The defrost cycle failing to initiate or complete properly

Causes of a faulty defrost thermostat can include normal wear and tear over time, electrical malfunctions, or exposure to extreme temperatures or moisture.

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore refrigerator models.

The Refrigerator Door Gasket is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It lines the edge of the refrigerator door, creating an airtight seal that prevents warm air from entering and cold air from escaping the unit. This seal is crucial for maintaining the efficiency of the refrigerator, ensuring that it runs smoothly and keeps food at the correct temperatures without overworking the cooling system.

Symptoms of a bad Refrigerator Door Gasket include:

• Visible cracks, splits, or wear in the gasket material
• Condensation or frost build-up around the door edges
• The refrigerator door not closing fully or seeming to have air leaks

Causes of a bad door gasket can stem from natural degradation over time, exposure to food oils and residues that degrade the rubber, or deformities caused by improper door usage or accidents.

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

The Defrost Heater Kit is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. This part is responsible for melting frost and ice buildup on the evaporator coils during the defrost cycle.  

Causes of a bad defrost heater can include regular wear and tear, electrical issues, or physical damage.  

Symptoms of a bad defrost heater include:

• Excessive frost or ice buildup in the freezer
• The refrigerator or freezer not cooling properly
• The defrost cycle not initiating
• Water leaking inside the refrigerator due to melting ice

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

The Run Capacitor is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire refrigerators. This electrical component plays a crucial role in providing the initial torque needed to start and run the compressor motor, ensuring efficient and reliable operation of your refrigerator's cooling system.

Causes of needing to replace the run capacitor can include normal wear and tear over time, exposure to high temperatures or electrical surges, or physical damage to the capacitor itself.

Symptoms that may indicate a failing run capacitor include:

• The refrigerator not running or cooling properly
• The compressor failing to start or running intermittently
• Humming or buzzing noises coming from the compressor area

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore refrigerator models. 

The Evaporator Fan Blade is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators, designed to circulate air over the refrigerator coils and through the food compartment. The fan blade works in conjunction with the evaporator fan motor, and together, they play a key role in the cooling process by distributing cool air evenly throughout the refrigerator and freezer.

Causes of a bad evaporator fan blade can include physical damage, such as cracks or bends in the blade itself, which can occur over time due to wear and tear or during cleaning and maintenance. 

Symptoms of a bad Evaporator Fan Blade include:

• Unusual noises coming from the refrigerator, such as humming or buzzing
• The refrigerator or freezer compartment is not cooling adequately

This OEM Frigidaire part can also be used on Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.
