This aluminum strap secures the defrost heater firmly against the evaporator coil to maintain proper contact during defrost. Correct contact improves heat transfer so frost melts evenly and helps prevent recurring ice buildup on the evaporator.

• Secures the defrost heater to the evaporator for proper contact and heat transfer
• Promotes complete, even defrosting across the evaporator coil
• Helps reduce repeat frost/ice accumulation caused by a shifted or loose heater
• Typical clues include a loose heater, uneven frost pattern, or rattling near the evaporator

• Disconnect power and allow ice to melt before accessing the evaporator
• Use care around sharp fins and fragile refrigerant tubing; do not puncture or deform the coil
• Position the heater per your model's parts diagram and tighten the strap for firm, even contact
• Verify wiring is routed clear of the fan and moving parts before reassembly

The Power Cord is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire refrigerators. As the lifeline connecting the appliance to a wall outlet, this cord safely delivers necessary voltage to operate refrigerator systems. 

Potential causes for needing a new power cord include exposure to cuts, abrasions or rodent damage over time in the storage area. Repeated bending stress during installation or removal can also wear out plastic insulation faster.

Symptoms of a faulty power cord include: 

• Refrigerator fails to power on at all
• Flickering lights or inconsistent runs of the compressor  
• Shock, buzzing or humming sounds coming from the cord
• Bare copper wire showing through damaged insulation

This power cord also fits some Electrolux and Gibson refrigerators.

Starter (start relay) that replaces the compressor/motor start device to help the appliance begin running reliably. Use this starter when the motor fails to spin up or shows hard-start symptoms to restore normal starting behavior. What it does:

• Provides the initial electrical boost required to start the compressor or motor.
• Commonly replaced when the compressor hums but won't start, cycles on and off, or the appliance fails to reach proper temperature.
• Reduces repeated hard-start attempts that can stress the compressor motor.
• Fits systems that use a separate start relay.

• Disconnect power (unplug appliance or switch off the circuit breaker) before servicing.
• Access relay at the compressor/motor area (typically at the rear); remove the old relay and install the new one using the existing mounting and terminals.
• Handle the compressor area carefully; avoid bending terminals or damaging wiring.

• Mounts the center hinge assembly to the cabinet for stable door support
• Provides the pivot point for the door via the hinge pin/cam hardware
• Helps keep the door aligned so the gasket seals properly
• Common symptoms: sagging or rubbing door, door not closing/sealing, popping open, or hinge-area squeaks/scrapes

• Disconnect power and support the door; remove items from the door to reduce weight
• Remove center hinge cover and screws; lift door off the hinge
• Transfer reusable hardware to the new bracket
• Reinstall bracket and door, then check door alignment and gasket seal

This plug covers the small factory test opening on an appliance cabinet or liner. Replacing a missing or damaged plug helps close the opening to maintain a better seal and restore a clean, finished appearance.

• Seals the factory test opening in the cabinet/panel
• Helps limit air and moisture infiltration through the hole
• Reduces condensation or frost forming around the opening
• Restores a finished look when the original cap is missing or damaged

• Disconnect power before servicing the appliance
• Clean and dry the opening area for proper fit
• Align and press the plug in by hand until it sits flush—do not force or enlarge the hole
• Avoid sharp tools or sealants that could damage the liner or insulation

Replacement air purifier assembly that restores the refrigerator's internal air-care function and helps reduce persistent odors. Installs in the fresh-food compartment to restore the appliance's odor-control and air-freshening performance. What it does:

• Houses the refrigerator's air-purifying module to help trap and reduce odors and airborne contaminants.
• Restores air-care performance when the original purifier is damaged, clogged, or missing.
• Works as part of the fridge's internal air circulation and odor-control system.

• One air purifier assembly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing internal panels or components.
• Remove interior panels or shelves as required to reach the purifier; keep parts and fasteners organized.
• Handle the assembly carefully to avoid damage; use basic hand tools.

This door stop limits the opening range of your refrigerator door to prevent overextension and hinge strain. Replace a worn or broken stop to restore controlled door movement and protect surrounding cabinetry from accidental impacts. What it does:

• Controls how far the door opens to prevent overextension and damage
• Helps maintain proper door alignment and reduces stress on the hinges
• Replaces cracked, deformed, or missing stops that no longer hold the door at its stop point

• 1 door stop

• Disconnect power; turn off water supply if your unit has a dispenser/ice maker
• Support the door before loosening any hinge fasteners to access the stop
• Note the stop's orientation and position; transfer any spacers and reinstall the same way
• Open and close the door to verify proper range and clearance before fully tightening fasteners

This center hinge bracket mounts to the refrigerator cabinet at the middle hinge location. It provides a secure mounting point for the hinge, keeping the door aligned for smooth operation and a reliable gasket seal.
