• Connects sections of internal water tubing between components (inlet valve, filter, door, ice maker)
• Helps maintain a sealed route for proper dispenser and ice maker operation
• Common symptoms: water leaking behind/under the refrigerator, weak/no dispenser flow, ice maker not filling, visible damage at the fitting
• Direct-fit component built to OEM specifications for the intended application

• Unplug the refrigerator and shut off the household water supply before servicing
• Dispense water to relieve line pressure; place a towel to catch residual water
• Cut tubing ends square and fully insert into the connector until seated; tug gently to confirm engagement
• Restore water, check carefully for leaks, and recheck after the first dispense cycle

Specs: Hex head ,1/4-20 x 5/8

This drive cam is the rotating plastic cam used in the refrigerator's ice system. It transfers the motor's motion to linked parts to advance the cycle so ice can be produced and dispensed smoothly.

• Transfers rotation from the motor to move internal levers/gears in the ice assembly
• Advances the ice-making/dispensing cycle
• Wear or cracks can cause stalling, clicking/grinding, or no/weak ice dispensing
• May lead to ice not ejecting or jamming mid-cycle

• Disconnect power and shut off water before servicing
• Remove the ice bin; access the ice maker or dispenser mechanism as your model requires
• Note the cam's orientation and alignment marks; seat the new cam fully on the shaft
• Reassemble, restore power, and run a test cycle to confirm operation

This replacement ice container front is the front cover for the freezer's ice bucket. It restores a secure front wall so cubes stay contained and the bucket seats and dispenses correctly. What it does:

• Forms the front face of the ice container to keep ice contained
• Helps the bucket fit and align for proper dispensing
• Replaces a cracked, broken, loose, or missing front panel
• May help if ice spills from the bin or the bucket won't slide in or latch properly

• 1 ice container front (front cover only)

• Unplug the refrigerator and remove the ice bucket from the freezer
• Empty the bucket; transfer any screws, clips, or labels from the old front to the new part
• Align tabs and snap/fasten the new front to the bucket; do not overtighten screws
• Reinstall the bucket and check seating and dispenser operation

The Thermistor is an OEM Replacement Part that maintains the temperature inside your Frigidaire refrigerator. This thermistor handles reading the internal temperature. After reading, it transmits this information to the control system. At a temperature of 29 degrees, the thermistor should exhibit a resistance of about 35k ohms. While at room temperature, it should read approximately 5k ohms.

Causes of a bad thermistor can include regular wear and tear, exposure to moisture, or electrical issues. Over time, the thermistor may become less accurate or stop working altogether.

Symptoms of a bad thermistor include:

• Inconsistent or incorrect temperature readings
• The refrigerator being too warm or too cold
• The cooling system running continuously or not at all
• Error codes related to temperature control

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

• Directs ice from the bucket into the dispenser chute/crusher path
• Helps maintain consistent dispensing and minimizes stray ice inside the freezer
• Replace if cracked, warped, or missing
• Symptoms include erratic dispensing, ice spilling or jamming, or a visibly damaged/missing guide on the ice bin

• Disconnect power before servicing; remove the ice bucket
• Position the new deflector in the original location; reuse existing screws/clips if applicable
• Ensure the curved face points toward the dispenser chute
• Reinstall the ice bucket, restore power, and test ice dispense

This refrigerator shelf restores a flat, sturdy surface for storing food and containers. Replace a broken or missing shelf to regain capacity, keep items organized, and help prevent spills inside your appliance.

• Provides a level platform to hold groceries and containers
• Helps organize contents and maximize usable space

• Common symptoms: cracked/broken shelf, wobbling, items tipping, reduced storage capacity

• Empty the area and wear gloves; handle carefully to avoid injury or damage
• Align the shelf with the side supports and slide or lower it into place
• Ensure it's fully seated before loading; distribute weight evenly

This water filter housing secures and seals the refrigerator's filter cartridge, routing water to the dispenser and ice maker. Replace it if the filter area leaks, the filter won't seat, or water/ice flow is reduced. What it does:

• Holds and seals the filter cartridge to the water system
• Directs water through the filter to the dispenser and ice maker
• Helps maintain proper pressure and a leak-resistant connection at the filter head
• Typical symptoms: leaking at the filter area, slow/no water from the dispenser, no ice production, filter won't lock in place

• 1 water filter housing assembly

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Dispense water to relieve line pressure; place a towel to catch residual water
• Note tube routing; use the quick-connect collets to release/insert water lines fully
• Restore water and power, check all connections for leaks, and flush the dispenser to clear air

This is a factory replacement screw fastener used to secure components in your appliance. It restores a tight, rattle-free fit for panels, brackets, and trim when an original screw is missing, stripped, or corroded.

• Secures panels, brackets, and trim to the appliance cabinet or liner

• Clean contact surfaces; install the new seal in the same orientation without stretching or pinching
• Reassemble and verify an even seal and normal airflow before returning to service

This freezer thermistor is the sensor that reports compartment temperature to the control system. Replacing a faulty sensor restores accurate temperature feedback and normal cycling so the freezer maintains consistent, food-safe temperatures.

• Monitors freezer temperature and sends a resistance signal to the control
• Helps regulate compressor and evaporator fan operation for stable cooling
• Failure can cause temperatures that are too warm or too cold
• May lead to long run times, short cycling, or erratic temperature displays/alarms

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access the sensor in the freezer and note its original routing and position
• Install the new sensor in the same location; route wires along the factory path and ensure a secure connection
• Restore power and allow up to 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize

This fixed blade sits inside the refrigerator's ice bucket/crusher assembly. It provides a stationary cutting edge that works with the auger and rotating blades to break up cubes, helping your dispenser deliver consistent crushed ice.
