Frt21ilfw0 Parts

This defrost heater kit heats the evaporator to melt frost and ice buildup so the refrigerator can cycle normally and maintain proper cooling. It's a direct-replacement kit for units that use a heater-style defrost assembly. What it does:

• Warms the evaporator coil during the defrost cycle to remove frost and ice
• Helps restore normal airflow and cooling when frost buildup blocks the evaporator
• Commonly used when a refrigerator has excessive frost, poor cooling, or no active defrost
• Works with the existing defrost control and thermostat to allow automatic defrost cycles

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any service
• Handle evaporator fins and sharp sheet metal with care; wear gloves and eye protection
• Reassemble panels and restore power; check for proper defrost operation after installation

This upper hinge cover protects and conceals the refrigerator's door hinge assembly for a finished look and safer operation. It helps prevent snags and shields hinge components from dirt and wear while restoring the door's appearance. What it does:

• Covers the upper door hinge to hide hardware and improve aesthetics
• Helps keep dust, grease, and debris off the hinge area
• Reduces the chance of clothing or skin catching on exposed hardware
• Restores a finished, factory appearance when the original cover is cracked or missing

• High-level replacement; some models require removing or loosening the door or hinge fasteners
• Handle carefully to avoid scratching the finish; use the correct screwdriver or fastener tool
• Keep hands clear of the hinge while seating the cover and re-tightening fasteners

This Spill-Safe glass shelf replaces a damaged or missing refrigerator shelf and helps contain spills with raised front and rear edges to keep liquids from dripping onto lower compartments. Durable tempered glass provides a stable surface for food storage. What it does:

• Replaces cracked, chipped, or missing refrigerator shelf glass
• Raised spill-safe lip helps contain spills and prevents runoff to lower shelves
• Provides a flat, sturdy surface for storing food containers and small appliances
• Restores proper shelf spacing and organization inside the fresh-food compartment

• Remove all items from the shelf before installation; lift straight out and slide new shelf into existing supports
• Handle glass carefully and wear cut-resistant gloves to avoid injury
• Ensure shelf is seated fully on both side supports before loading
• Do not use if shelf is cracked or damaged; replace immediately

A molded gasket that seals the evaporator coil cover to reduce air bypass and help direct cold air over the coils for more consistent cooling. Replaces a worn or damaged seal to help restore proper airflow and reduce frost buildup. What it does:

• Seals the evaporator coil cover to prevent warm air from bypassing the coil
• Helps maintain proper airflow for consistent cooling performance
• Reduces frost or ice buildup caused by air leaks around the coil cover
• Prevents condensation and dripping by keeping air where it belongs

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical shock
• Thaw any frost/ice accumulation and remove the evaporator access cover per manufacturer instructions
• Clean mating surfaces, then press the seal into place ensuring a full, even fit around the cover

This is a replacement screw used to secure panels, trim and other appliance components to restore proper fit and reduce rattling. It matches the OEM part form and fastening function for compatible Frigidaire appliances. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets or trim to maintain proper alignment and appearance
• Replaces missing, stripped or damaged screws that cause loose parts or vibration
• Helps prevent rattling and keeps components seated for safe operation
• Restores original fastening where a worn or corroded screw failed

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair to avoid electrical hazard
• Use the correct screwdriver or driver bit and hand-start threads to avoid cross-threading
• Tighten until snug; avoid overtightening which can strip threads or damage panels
• If thread damage is present, replace with the correct OEM fastener (do not force)

This genuine replacement screw secures panels and small components on select appliances, restoring fit and reducing rattles or loose parts. It's a direct-fit fastener where the original #8-18 x 3/8 screw is missing or worn. What it does:

• Fastens trim, panels or brackets to appliance frames and components
• Restores secure fit to stop rattling or misaligned parts
• Replaces stripped, rusted or missing screws that prevent proper assembly
• Matches original thread size and length for correct engagement

• Use the correct driver and engage threads straight to avoid stripping
• Do not overtighten; stop when the part is snug and secure
• Replace any damaged mating hardware for best fit
• Unplug the appliance or shut off power when accessing internal fasteners

This genuine replacement part is an evaporator used in refrigerators. The evaporator is the part that exchanges heat to cool the refrigerator. It is the component of the refrigerator that absorbs the heat from the air inside, turning it cool through absorption. If the refrigerator is no longer cooling properly, this could mean it's time for a new evaporator.This is a genuine replacement evaporator compatible with Frigidaire, Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Westinghouse brand refrigerators.

This compressor start relay helps the refrigerator compressor start reliably so the appliance can maintain proper cooling. It replaces a failing start device to restore normal compressor startup behavior. What it does:

• Provides the initial boost to the compressor motor so it can start turning
• Commonly used when the compressor hums or won't start but power is present
• Can reduce repeated clicking or intermittent starts caused by a failed start device
• Works with the compressor's start circuit; does not replace sealed-system components

• One compressor start relay

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing electrical components
• Inspect associated start capacitor/overload if present; replace if faulty for reliable operation

This spring-style hose clamp secures flexible appliance hoses and helps prevent leaks by holding hose ends tightly to fittings. Reliable, low-profile design for use on drain, water, or vent hoses where a strong, consistent grip is needed. What it does:

• Provides a spring-tensioned grip to keep hoses seated on fittings and reduce leaks
• Commonly used on flexible drain or water hoses and small vent lines
• Helps maintain proper connection under normal vibration and thermal cycling
• Replaces worn, stretched, or corroded clamps that no longer hold tension

• One spring hose clamp (exact quantity as sold)

• Use pliers to expand the clamp, slide into position, then release to seat on the fitting
• Inspect hose ends and fittings for wear; replace hose if damaged before installing clamp
• Wear eye protection when compressing the clamp; keep fingers clear of the clamp's edges
• Tighten only as needed—over-compressing can damage the hose

A small replacement plug button that restores the tactile control on compatible Frigidaire appliances. Replaces a cracked, worn or missing push-button so controls operate and look complete again. What it does:

• Acts as the user-facing push surface for a specific control or plug feature
• Restores normal button feel and engagement when the original is broken or missing
• Helps prevent debris from entering the switch or control opening
• Improves appearance of a damaged or worn control panel area

• Power off and unplug the appliance before starting any repair
• Usually installs by snapping into the control panel from the front; no special tools required
