Ples5389dce Parts

The Lens is an OEM component for Frigidaire freezers. It acts as a transparent cover and protective barrier for the freezer compartment lights. Crafted for durability and clarity, the lens avoids frost and minimizes condensation while allowing visibility inside the freezer.

Causes of a bad lens can include deep scratches or cracks developing over time from repeated wiping or exposure to chemicals like frost removers.

Symptoms of a bad freezer lens include:

• Cloudiness, fogginess, or smears inhibiting internal visibility
• Cracks or breaks compromising the protective barrier
• Distorted views make it difficult to assess food levels
• Diffused lighting with shadows instead of a clear view

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