Parts for Crosley CCV17RFLW1: System Parts

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

Includes service line.

This defrost heater melts frost and ice buildup on the evaporator so the freezer can maintain proper airflow and cooling. Replacing a failed heater helps reduce excessive icing and restores normal cooling performance. What it does:

• Heats the evaporator coil during the defrost cycle to remove frost and ice buildup.
• Restores airflow and cooling efficiency when frost accumulation is preventing proper cooling.
• Common symptom link: heavy frost or visible ice on evaporator coils.
• Common symptom link: freezer running continuously or temperatures that are warmer than expected.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Access the evaporator by removing the freezer rear panel; avoid sharp sheet-metal edges.
• Inspect mounting clips and wiring; replace only if damaged and reconnect all terminals securely.
• Test the heater for electrical continuity with a multimeter before and after installation; restore power and confirm the defrost cycle operates normally.

The EVAPORATOR INSULATOR is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It is a heat-resistant insulating pad or wrap that surrounds the evaporator coils. The insulator works to retain cool air and prevent warmer air from entering the refrigerated compartment.  

Causes of a bad insulator can include deterioration or breakdown of insulating properties over time due to aging materials. Cracks, holes, or compressed sections of the insulator result in reduced insulation performance.

Symptoms of a bad evaporator insulator include:

• Inconsistently cool or warmer fridge temperatures 
• Frost or ice buildup on evaporator coils or surrounding areas
• Higher than normal electric bills from inefficient cooling
• Warm or cold spots inside refrigerator shelves and compartments

This OEM Frigidaire replacement insulator is compatible with some Kitchenaid, Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator models. 

The Defrost Thermostat is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators and freezers. This part senses the temperature of the evaporator coil and triggers the defrost heater to melt away any accumulated frost. This process ensures that air can flow freely over the coils, keeping the refrigerator or freezer at the correct temperature and preventing overcooling or temperature fluctuations that can spoil food.

Causes of a bad defrost thermostat can include a failure to open or close properly, leading to an overaccumulation of frost on the evaporator coils, or physical damage that prevents it from sensing the correct temperature. 

Symptoms of a bad Defrost Thermostat include:

• Frost build-up in the freezer compartment
• The refrigerator or freezer is too warm
• The compressor running longer than usual
• Fresh food compartment becoming too warm

This OEM Frigidaire part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator and some Kenmore models.

The Compressor Start Device is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It is crucial for initiating the operation of the refrigerator's compressor, which is responsible for cooling the appliance. This device provides the necessary power boost to start the compressor and ensures it runs efficiently.

You should replace the compressor start device if it becomes faulty. Causes of a bad compressor start device can include electrical failures, wear and tear over time, or power surges that damage its components.

Symptoms of a bad compressor start device include:

• The refrigerator not cooling properly
• The compressor not starting
• Clicking noises from the back of the refrigerator
• The refrigerator cycling on and off frequently

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

The Run Capacitor is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It helps maintain a consistent electrical current to the compressor, ensuring efficient operation and optimal cooling performance.

Causes of a bad run capacitor can include electrical surges, prolonged use leading to wear and tear, or physical damage. A failing capacitor can lead to the compressor running inefficiently or not at all, affecting the refrigerator's ability to maintain the desired temperature.

Symptoms of a bad run capacitor include:

• The refrigerator not cooling properly
• The compressor not starting or running inconsistently
• Clicking sounds coming from the refrigerator
• The refrigerator cycling on and off frequently

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

This replacement power cord delivers household electricity from the outlet to your appliance. Installing a new cord restores safe, reliable power when the original is damaged, worn, or causing intermittent operation.

• Supplies AC power from a household outlet to the unit
• Common fix for no power, flickering lights, or power loss when the cord is moved
• Replaces cords with cuts, cracks, burn marks, or melted areas
• Restores a secure electrical connection for safe, consistent operation

• Unplug the appliance and verify the wall outlet is working before replacing parts
• Access the cord routing and internal connections; note wire positions and routing before removal
• Transfer and secure any strain relief/clamp; keep wiring clear of sharp edges and hot surfaces
• After installation, ensure the cord isn't pinched and the plug seats fully in the outlet

This support is a small mounting bracket used inside the appliance to hold an interior component, such as a shelf or basket. Replacing a cracked or missing support restores a secure, level fit and helps prevent wobbling or dropping.

• Provides a stable mounting point for a shelf, basket, rail, or panel
• Keeps interior components aligned and level
• Common symptoms: shelf/basket tilts, won't seat, or falls; visible cracks or missing support
• Replace if broken, deformed, or worn to restore proper fit

• Disconnect power and clear the work area before starting
• Remove the affected shelf/basket/panel to access the mounting point
• Release the damaged support (snap tabs or remove screw), align, and install the new support
• Reinstall the component and verify it sits level and secure

This compressor start relay helps the refrigerator compressor start reliably, restoring proper cooling performance when the compressor fails to start. Designed to replace the factory start device on compatible Frigidaire compressors. What it does

• Provides the initial boost/current path to spin the compressor motor during startup
• Commonly replaced when the compressor hums but will not start or cooling is intermittent
• Helps prevent repeated hard starts that can overload the compressor
• Works with the compressor's overload to enable normal run operation once started

• One compressor start relay

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electric shock
• Access compressor terminals at the rear base or service panel per your model's service instructions
• Remove and replace only the relay (verify terminals match and clip securely); do not attempt repairs on the sealed compressor
• If compressor still won't start after replacing the relay, further diagnosis of the compressor, overload, or controls is recommended
