Parts for Electrolux FFFH20F2QWD: 04 - 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. This heater is responsible for melting frost that accumulates on the evaporator coils during the cooling cycles, ensuring that the refrigerator and freezer operate efficiently and maintain proper temperatures. This assembly also includes a defrost thermostat, which monitors the temperature and ensures that the heater operates as needed.

Common causes of a bad defrost heater include electrical failures, damage from ice accumulation, and general wear from repeated heating cycles.

Symptoms of a bad defrost heater include:

• Frost buildup on the evaporator coils
• The refrigerator or freezer not maintaining the correct temperature
• The refrigerator running continuously without proper cooling
• Water leakage inside the refrigerator due to melting ice

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

The Compressor Start Relay is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. This essential component is responsible for initiating the compressor's start-up process by supplying power to the compressor motor. It helps kickstart the compressor, allowing it to begin the cooling cycle.

A faulty start relay or overload can occur due to wear and tear over time, electrical issues, or component failure.

Signs of a bad start relay may include:

• The refrigerator not cooling properly or not cooling at all
• Unusual noises coming from the compressor area
• The compressor fails to start or repeatedly cycles on and off

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

This replacement drain pan collects defrost water from the evaporator and holds it in the machine compartment so it can evaporate. Replacing a cracked, warped, or missing pan helps prevent puddles under the appliance and musty odors. What it does:

• Collects defrost and condensate water routed through the drain tube
• Sits near the compressor/condenser so heat and airflow aid evaporation
• Helps prevent floor leaks caused by a damaged or misaligned pan
• Common symptoms may include water under the unit, visible pan cracks/warping, rattling from a loose pan, or persistent musty smells

• Includes 1 drain pan

• Unplug the appliance and pull it forward to access the rear; remove the lower rear access panel
• Remove the old pan and transfer any clips or supports if present
• Seat the drain tube into the new pan and position the pan level, clear of moving parts
• Reinstall the access panel and restore power; check for proper drainage after a defrost cycle

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
