Frigidaire Refrigerator RT153MCD2 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 Defrost Thermostat is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It monitors the temperature of the evaporator coils and activates the defrost heater when necessary. This process prevents frost buildup on the coils, ensuring the refrigerator maintains optimal cooling efficiency.

You should replace the defrost thermostat if it becomes faulty or damaged. Common causes of a bad defrost thermostat include electrical failures, regular wear and tear, or temperature fluctuations that can degrade the component over time.

Symptoms of a bad defrost thermostat include:

• Excessive frost buildup on the evaporator coils
• Refrigerator not cooling properly
• The defrost cycle not activating
• Increased energy consumption

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

The Compressor Run Capacitor is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire refrigerators. This electrical component is essential for providing the necessary torque to start and maintain the operation of the compressor motor, which is responsible for cooling the refrigerator.

Symptoms of a failing compressor 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

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

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

The Evaporator Motor is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. This component powers the evaporator fan, which circulates cold air throughout the refrigerator and freezer compartments, ensuring consistent temperatures for proper food storage. Compatible fan blade is part number AP2152058

Causes of a bad evaporator motor can include electrical issues, worn-out bearings, or obstruction by debris. A malfunctioning evaporator motor can lead to improper cooling and temperature fluctuations within the refrigerator.

Symptoms of a bad evaporator motor include:

• The refrigerator or freezer not cooling properly
• Unusual noises such as grinding or squealing from the freezer compartment
• Frost buildup on the evaporator coils
• The refrigerator running continuously without reaching the desired temperature

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

The Refrigerator Gasket is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire models. It provides a sealing barrier around the door frame, preserving cool air inside the refrigerator compartment. Composed of durable synthetic materials, the contoured gasket creates an insulating shield.

Causes of a faulty gasket include cracks or breaks from over-closure of the refrigerator door. Deterioration from extended exposure to temperature extremes can also impact integrity over time.

Symptoms of a bad refrigerator gasket include: 

• Inability to maintain a consistent internal cooling temperature
• Accumulation of moisture or frost at door edges  
• Visible gaps allowing warm external air to infiltrate
• Air leaks around the refrigerator opening

Compatible models include brands produced by Electrolux, Gibson, and Kelvinator.

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.
