The Grille/kickplate is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It sits at the base of the refrigerator, covering the vents and providing a finished look. The grille/kickplate regulates air flow from the vents and directs it appropriately within the refrigerator compartment.
Causes of a bad grille/kickplate can include damage or cracks that impair its function, or wear and tear over time that degrades its fit and finish.
Symptoms of a bad grille/kickplate include:
- Excessive dust buildup inside the refrigerator
- Unbalanced or uneven air flow causing temperature fluctuations
- Cool air leaking out of the bottom vents
- The grille no longer fitting securely in place
This OEM Frigidaire replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.
