Parts for Electrolux E32AR85PQSA: 04 - System Parts

This condenser coil assembly removes heat from the refrigerant so the refrigerator can cool efficiently. Replacing a damaged or clogged condenser restores proper heat transfer and helps the unit run more reliably. What it does:

• Condenses refrigerant from a gas to a liquid by releasing heat to the surrounding air
• Helps maintain correct system pressures so the compressor cycles normally
• Commonly fixes symptoms like the fridge running constantly, higher-than-normal interior temperatures, or overheating at the rear/bottom of the cabinet
• Improves cooling efficiency when the original condenser is bent, crushed, or clogged with debris

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing.
• Inspect mounting brackets, lines, and electrical connections during replacement; replace any damaged fasteners or clips.
• Avoid bending fins; straighten with a fin comb if minor damage is present, and ensure adequate ventilation around the condenser after reinstalling.

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

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.

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 Controller is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. Located on the compressor housing, this start device functions to gradually apply power to the compressor's start winding during power-up or a defrost cycle. This helps reduce energy usage and lessens the initial workload and strain on the compressor.

Causes can be failure over time from heat and electrical stress, or water damage. 

Symptoms of a bad compressor start device include:

• The compressor failing to start or engage for cooling cycles
• Audible humming noises but no cooling air being produced
• Higher electric bills from inefficient restarting of the compressor

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

The Condenser Fan Motor is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It is a component responsible for drawing heat away from the refrigerator's cooling system. By rapidly spinning the condenser fan blades, the motor works to dissipate heat buildup and ensure optimal cooling performance.

Causes of a bad condenser fan motor include bearing wear over time, damage from moisture or dirt infiltration, or failure of electronic motor components. 

Symptoms of a bad condenser fan motor include:

• Inadequate or inconsistent cooling within the refrigerator 
• Loud buzzing or rattling noises emanating from the rear
• Slow or failed rotation of the condenser fan blades

This OEM Frigidaire replacement condenser fan motor is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore-branded refrigerators. 

The Condenser Fan Motor Blade is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire refrigerators. This part attaches to the condenser fan motor and works by drawing air through the condenser coils and over the compressor, dissipating heat and allowing the refrigerant to cool effectively. 

Causes of damage to the Condenser Fan Motor Blade can include physical damage from moving or cleaning the refrigerator, obstruction from debris that impedes the blade's rotation, or wear and tear over time that can lead to cracks or the blade becoming loose.

Symptoms of a bad Condenser Fan Motor Blade include:

• The refrigerator running hotter than usual 
• Unusual noises coming from the back of the refrigerator where the condenser fan is located 
• The refrigerator compressor running for longer periods than normal or cycling on and off more frequently

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