The Defrost Timer is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It is an essential electronic component that controls the automated defrost cycle of the refrigerator. The defrost timer monitors run times and temperatures to determine when to initiate the defrost process. It allows the refrigerator to operate efficiently by preventing excessive ice buildup. This defrost timer is designed to run for 30 minutes every 8 hours. 

Symptoms of a bad defrost timer include: 

• Inability to initiate or maintain the defrost cycle 
• Excessive ice buildup in the freezer compartment
• Erratic temperature fluctuations
• The refrigerator running excessively or displaying other performance issues

Causes of a bad defrost timer can be normal wear and tear over time. Environmental factors like power surges or fluctuations may also impact the electronic timer functionality. 

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

The Light Bulb (40W) is an OEM part for Frigidaire appliances. Specifically designed to fit and function with Frigidaire models, this 40-watt bulb illuminates the interior of your oven, making it easier to check on the progress of your baking or roasting without opening the oven door.

Over time, oven light bulbs can burn out or be damaged from high temperatures or accidental bumps during cleaning or cooking. A functioning light bulb is crucial for the optimal operation of your oven, enhancing visibility and improving your cooking experience.

Symptoms of a bad Light Bulb include:

• The oven interior remains dark when the light switch is engaged.
• Flickering light, indicating a loose connection or nearing the end of the bulb's lifespan.
• Completely non-functional light, which can hinder your ability to monitor cooking progress.

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

The Evaporator Fan Blade is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators, designed to circulate air over the refrigerator coils and through the food compartment. The fan blade works in conjunction with the evaporator fan motor, and together, they play a key role in the cooling process by distributing cool air evenly throughout the refrigerator and freezer.

Causes of a bad evaporator fan blade can include physical damage, such as cracks or bends in the blade itself, which can occur over time due to wear and tear or during cleaning and maintenance. 

Symptoms of a bad Evaporator Fan Blade include:

• Unusual noises coming from the refrigerator, such as humming or buzzing
• The refrigerator or freezer compartment is not cooling adequately

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

The Defrost Thermostat is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It monitors the temperature of the evaporator coils and activates the defrost heater when necessary. This process prevents frost buildup on the coils, ensuring the refrigerator maintains optimal cooling efficiency.

You should replace the defrost thermostat if it becomes faulty or damaged. Common causes of a bad defrost thermostat include electrical failures, regular wear and tear, or temperature fluctuations that can degrade the component over time.

Symptoms of a bad defrost thermostat include:

• Excessive frost buildup on the evaporator coils
• Refrigerator not cooling properly
• The defrost cycle not activating
• Increased energy consumption

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

The Light Socket is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It is responsible for holding the light bulb in place and providing the electrical connection needed to illuminate the refrigerator's interior. This ensures visibility inside the refrigerator, helping you easily find and access your stored food items.

Causes of a bad light socket can include electrical malfunctions, wear and tear over time, or damage due to bulb replacements or impact.

Symptoms of a bad light socket include:

• The refrigerator light not turning on
• Flickering or dim light
• Visible damage to the socket
• Electrical sparking or unusual noises when the light is on

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

The Evaporator Motor is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. This component powers the evaporator fan, which circulates cold air throughout the refrigerator and freezer compartments, ensuring consistent temperatures for proper food storage. Compatible fan blade is part number AP2152058

Causes of a bad evaporator motor can include electrical issues, worn-out bearings, or obstruction by debris. A malfunctioning evaporator motor can lead to improper cooling and temperature fluctuations within the refrigerator.

Symptoms of a bad evaporator motor include:

• The refrigerator or freezer not cooling properly
• Unusual noises such as grinding or squealing from the freezer compartment
• Frost buildup on the evaporator coils
• The refrigerator running continuously without reaching the desired temperature

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

Includes service line.

This replacement screw secures refrigerator components such as brackets, trims, and covers. Replace missing or stripped hardware to keep parts tight and aligned, helping eliminate rattles and restoring a solid, reliable fit.
