Parts for Crosley R22CWF4: 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.

The Defrost Heater is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators, playing a critical role in the appliance's defrost system. This component is designed to melt away frost and ice that accumulate on the evaporator coils, ensuring that air can flow freely and the appliance maintains optimal cooling efficiency.

Causes of failure might include a burnt-out heating element, damage to the heater's electrical connections, or a malfunction in the control system that fails to activate the heater during the defrost cycle. 

Symptoms of a bad Defrost Heater include:

• Frost build-up on the evaporator coils, leading to reduced cooling efficiency.
• The freezer or refrigerator compartment is too warm.
• The appliance is constantly running in an attempt to maintain the set temperature.
• Pools of water or ice on the floor of the freezer compartment due to incomplete defrosting.

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

This evaporator coil assembly circulates refrigerant and absorbs heat inside the freezer section so the appliance can maintain cold temperatures and keep food frozen. Replaces a worn or damaged coil to restore proper cooling performance. What it does:

• Absorbs heat from inside the freezer so refrigerant can carry heat away
• Works with the compressor and condenser to complete the cooling cycle
• Commonly linked to symptoms like a warm freezer, frost buildup, or excessive run time
• Helps maintain even freezer temperatures when functioning correctly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical shock
• Handle the coil carefully to avoid bending fins or damaging connections

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 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.

This guard is a molded protective cover that shields internal components and helps maintain proper airflow, reducing the chance of damage and contact with moving parts. It's a simple replacement when a damaged guard exposes wiring or fan areas. What it does:

• Covers and protects wiring, fan blades, and nearby components from debris and accidental contact
• Helps maintain proper airflow paths around cooling components
• Reduces vibration noise by stabilizing loose openings or edges
• Restores a finished appearance where the original guard was cracked or missing

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Remove any fasteners or panels blocking access; install in the original orientation and secure with the factory screws
• Do not force the part; ensure clips or tabs fully engage to avoid loosening
• If other parts are damaged or mounting points are broken, replace or repair those first for a secure fit

This compressor grommet is a rubber mounting isolator that cushions and secures the compressor to the appliance chassis, helping reduce vibration and noise while preventing metal-to-metal contact and premature wear. What it does:

• Cushions compressor movement to reduce vibration transmitted to the cabinet
• Dampens noise and rattling caused by compressor operation
• Prevents direct metal-to-metal contact that can wear mounting points
• Helps keep the compressor positioned and secured under load

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing the compressor or base pan
• Replace grommets while supporting the compressor to avoid strain on lines and connections
• Inspect remaining mounting grommets; replace all worn isolators for best performance

This vent directs airflow and helps channel exhaust air from the appliance to improve ventilation and maintain proper operation. Durable replacement restores correct air flow and reduces hot spots or moisture buildup. What it does:

• Channels exhaust or circulating air from the appliance to the cabinet or exterior
• Helps maintain even internal temperatures by directing airflow where needed
• Reduces build-up of heat or moisture that can affect performance
• Replaces worn, cracked, or missing vents that may cause rattling or poor airflow

• One replacement vent

• Basic hand tools may be required; verify screw/clip locations before removal
• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting work for safety
• Handle gently to avoid damaging mounting tabs or surrounding trim

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
