Includes service line.

This fan motor mounting bushing is used in refrigerator fan motor assemblies to prevent vibrations between the fan motor and the surrounding components. Over time, the rubber on the bushing may become cracked or broken and fall off. Loud noises coming from the refrigerator's freezer section where it is mounted are a good indicator that the bushing needs to be replaced. To start, disconnect the refrigerator's power and empty the refrigerator and freezer's contents into an ice chest to keep them cold until the motor mount bushing is replaced. Open the freezer door and remove the plastic access panel on the back wall; the fan blade and motor are located behind it. Gently pull the fan blade off the center post. Remove the screws holding the motor in place and remove the motor. Take the old bushing off and install the new bushing. Replace the panel. Put the food contents back inside the freezer and refrigerator and restore the power.This motor mounting bushing is an authentic OEM replacement part sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is sold individually. It is designed for use in refrigerators manufactured by Frigidaire, Kenmore, Gibson, and Kelvinator.

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.

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.

This part has been discontinued by the manufacturer and is no longer available.

This aluminum strap secures the defrost heater firmly against the evaporator coil to maintain proper contact during defrost. Correct contact improves heat transfer so frost melts evenly and helps prevent recurring ice buildup on the evaporator.

• Secures the defrost heater to the evaporator for proper contact and heat transfer
• Promotes complete, even defrosting across the evaporator coil
• Helps reduce repeat frost/ice accumulation caused by a shifted or loose heater
• Typical clues include a loose heater, uneven frost pattern, or rattling near the evaporator

• Disconnect power and allow ice to melt before accessing the evaporator
• Use care around sharp fins and fragile refrigerant tubing; do not puncture or deform the coil
• Position the heater per your model's parts diagram and tighten the strap for firm, even contact
• Verify wiring is routed clear of the fan and moving parts before reassembly

This rubber compressor mounting grommet cushions and isolates the compressor to reduce vibration and noise that can transfer to the cabinet. It helps maintain stable compressor positioning for quieter, smoother operation. What it does:

• Absorbs compressor vibration to lower noise and rattling
• Dampens movement that can cause abrasion or wear on mounting hardware
• Helps maintain proper alignment of the compressor assembly
• Common symptom: excessive buzzing, vibration, or rattling from the back of the appliance

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before servicing.
• Support the compressor before removing mounts to prevent shifting or damage.
• Inspect surrounding mounts and hardware; replace any worn or damaged pieces.

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.
