Defrost Parts

Ice buildup in your refrigerator? A faulty defrost thermostat prevents proper defrosting. This bi-metal sensor restores cooling performance quickly.

Fixes frost buildup and poor cooling caused by a failed defrost heater. This evaporator heater melts ice from coils to restore efficient operation.

Fix frost buildup in your freezer with this defrost heater. Restores proper cooling when ice accumulates on evaporator coils. Moderate DIY repair.

Refrigerator running warm or frost buildup? This defrost control board manages automatic defrost cycles to prevent evaporator icing and restore cooling.

Fixes ice buildup on evaporator coils and inconsistent cooling. This defrost thermostat monitors coil temperature to control the defrost cycle.

This is a bi-metal defrost thermostat that monitors evaporator coil temperature and signals the defrost heater to turn on or off during the defrost cycle. It helps prevent excessive frost and ice buildup on the evaporator coils. Replace this thermostat if the refrigerator is not cooling properly, frost is building up heavily on the back wall of the freezer, or the defrost cycle is not activating.

Fix refrigerator icing up or water leaking from door. This water tank heater prevents freezing in the tank. Test with multimeter for continuity.

This mechanical defrost timer advances the refrigerator's defrost cycle so the evaporator periodically melts accumulated frost. It helps restore normal cooling cycles and prevents excessive frost buildup for more reliable refrigerator performance. What it does:

• Advances the appliance between cooling and defrost modes on a timed schedule
• Stops the compressor during defrost so accumulated ice on the evaporator can melt
• Commonly replaced when heavy frost builds on the evaporator or the fridge/freezer cycles abnormally
• Can address symptoms such as excessive frost, reduced cooling, or continuous compressor operation

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Access the timer through the back or control area per your model's service instructions
• Note wire locations or take a photo before disconnecting to ensure correct reassembly

Fix frost buildup in your freezer with this defrost thermostat. Controls defrost cycles by sensing evaporator temperature. Simple DIY repair in 30 minutes.

Fix frost buildup on evaporator coils with this defrost heater and thermostat assembly. Restores normal cooling by completing defrost cycles properly.

Fix frost buildup and temperature fluctuations in your refrigerator. This defrost heater melts ice from evaporator coils during the defrost cycle. Moderate DIY.

This thaw heater is the evaporator defrost heating element that melts frost during the refrigerator's defrost cycle. Replacing a failed heater helps restore normal defrosting and reduce frost buildup that can restrict cooling. What it does:

• Heats the evaporator coil during the defrost cycle to melt accumulated ice
• Prevents excessive frost buildup that can block airflow and reduce cooling efficiency
• Common symptoms of a failing heater: heavy frost or ice on the evaporator/back wall, reduced cooling, or long compressor run times
• Works as part of the appliance's defrost system alongside the defrost thermostat and control

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Access typically requires removing interior panels and the evaporator cover; handle the evaporator and wiring carefully
• Inspect associated defrost components (thermostat, timer/control) if problems persist; replace only parts confirmed faulty

The Wire Harness is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It connects various electrical components within the refrigerator, ensuring proper communication and voltage.

A bad wire harness can be caused by wear and tear, damage, or electrical issues. When the harness becomes faulty, it can result in issues such as intermittent or complete loss of power, malfunctioning controls, or improper functioning of the refrigerator's features.

Symptoms of a bad wire harness include:

• Loss of power to the refrigerator or specific components
• Inconsistent or erratic operation of controls or displays
• Malfunctioning lights, fans, or other electrical features

Replace your faulty wire harness with this genuine OEM part to restore your refrigerator. This Frigidaire part can also be used on Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.
 

Fix evaporator coils freezing up every few months with this refrigerator defrost heater assembly. Restores proper defrost cycles in bottom-mount models.

Fix frost buildup on evaporator coils or warm fridge temps. This defrost thermostat regulates defrost cycle temperature. DIY-friendly, 20-30 min install.

Fix frost buildup and poor cooling in your refrigerator. This defrost thermostat prevents ice accumulation on the evaporator. Moderate DIY repair.
