Ffu21f5hw Parts

This compressor kit is made to be used with freezers and refrigerators by several manufacturers. It includes the compressor as well as all small parts associated with it. The compressor is a component that helps move the refrigerant throughout the appliance's system. Temperature sensors indicate when the compressor should run. If the compressor is damaged, it may make strange noises, no longer cool properly, or could begin to overheat.If any of these issues are present, the compressor should be replaced. First, make sure the refrigerator is not connected to a power source. Remove perishable items from the appliance and place them in an icebox, cooler with ice, or another refrigerator. Locate the compressor on the back of the appliance by removing the metal guard. Remove the wire between the compressor and the capacitor before taking off the compressor. Replace this part with the new one by connecting it to the wire and reassembling the appliance.This is a compressor kit for use with refrigerators and freezers made by Crosley, Electrolux, Westinghouse, Frigidaire, Kelvinator, Tappan, and Gibson. It is sourced directly from the manufacturer and sold as a single part. This is a genuine OEM replacement part.

Replacement refrigerator door handle that restores a secure, comfortable grip for opening and closing the door. Ideal when the original is cracked, loose, spinning, or otherwise damaged—brings back normal operation and appearance. What it does:

The EVAPORATOR INSULATOR is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It is a heat-resistant insulating pad or wrap that surrounds the evaporator coils. The insulator works to retain cool air and prevent warmer air from entering the refrigerated compartment.  

Causes of a bad insulator can include deterioration or breakdown of insulating properties over time due to aging materials. Cracks, holes, or compressed sections of the insulator result in reduced insulation performance.

Symptoms of a bad evaporator insulator include:

• Inconsistently cool or warmer fridge temperatures 
• Frost or ice buildup on evaporator coils or surrounding areas
• Higher than normal electric bills from inefficient cooling
• Warm or cold spots inside refrigerator shelves and compartments

This OEM Frigidaire replacement insulator is compatible with some Kitchenaid, Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator models. 

This light socket securely holds the appliance bulb and provides the electrical connection to illuminate the compartment when the door is opened. Replacing a faulty socket restores interior lighting so you can easily see contents.

• Provides the electrical connection and physical mounting for the light bulb
• Common failure symptoms: light won't turn on, flickers, or only works when the bulb is jiggled
• Show signs of heat discoloration, loose terminals, or intermittent contact

• Unplug the appliance before service; power is off
• Allow the bulb and surrounding area to cool before handling
• Handle wiring carefully; transfer conductors to the new socket one at a time to maintain correct connections
• Do not exceed the bulb type/wattage specified on the appliance rating label
