The Compressor Run Capacitor is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire refrigerators. This electrical component is essential for providing the necessary torque to start and maintain the operation of the compressor motor, which is responsible for cooling the refrigerator.

Symptoms of a failing compressor run capacitor include:

• The refrigerator not running or cooling properly
• The compressor failing to start or running intermittently
• Humming or buzzing noises coming from the compressor area

Causes of needing to replace the compressor run capacitor can include normal wear over time, exposure to high temperatures or electrical surges, or physical damage to the capacitor itself.

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

The Defrost Timer is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire upright freezers. It serves as a crucial component responsible for regulating automatic defrost cycles.

Causes of a faulty defrost timer relate to 20,000+ hours of constant exposure to freezer temperatures as low as -10 degrees Fahrenheit. Such extremes can compromise electrical switching mechanisms over prolonged usage periods.

Symptoms of a failed defrost timer include:

• Inability to initiate automatic defrost modes  
• Excessive ice and frost accumulation inside cabinet
• Warm areas detected due to impaired fan circulation
• Diagnostic codes indicating defrosting problems

This genuine Frigidaire replacement part is compatible with Kelvinator and some Kenmore units as well.

• Transfer wires one at a time to the same terminals on the new switch
• Press the new switch fully into place; restore power, and test

This drain hose carries water away from your appliance during draining to help prevent backups and leaks. Replace a cracked, clogged, or kinked hose to restore reliable water removal and protect surrounding floors and cabinets. What it does:

• Directs drain water from the outlet or pump to the designated discharge point
• Maintains proper flow; kinks or blockages can cause slow or no draining
• Helps prevent leaks from splits, pinholes, or loose connections
• Common signs: standing water, water under/around the unit, drain-related error codes, or odors

• Includes 1 drain hose

• Disconnect power and shut off water supply before servicing
• Place towels or a shallow pan to catch residual water when removing the old hose
• Note the original routing; seat connections fully, secure with clamps, and avoid sharp bends or kinks
• Run a brief drain/rinse and check all joints for leaks

This motor kit drives the microwave's glass turntable to rotate food for even heating. Replacing a worn motor restores smooth, consistent turntable motion and helps prevent cold spots during cooking or reheating.

• Powers the turntable tray via the coupler to rotate food evenly
• Common failure signs: turntable not turning, intermittent or noisy rotation, or jerky movement
• Helps resolve uneven heating caused by a stalled or slipping turntable

• Unplug the microwave before service; high-voltage components can retain a charge
• Access is typically from the bottom; remove the turntable tray and coupler before disassembly
• Note wire orientation and shaft alignment; transfer any brackets as required
• Test rotation before reassembling the exterior panels

This replacement screw secures appliance components so brackets, shelves, trim, or panels stay firmly in place. Install a new screw when the original is missing, stripped, or corroded to restore a tight, rattle-free fit.

• Fastens brackets, panels, trim, or covers to the cabinet or liner
• Helps maintain alignment and reduce vibration and noise
• Direct replacement for a missing, rusted, or stripped fastener
• Use wherever your model's parts diagram specifies this screw

• Disconnect power before servicing; shut off water if working near water lines
• Match thread and length to the original location as shown in your model's parts diagram
