Parts for Electrolux FFFU14F1RW1: 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. It is designed to melt frost and ice buildup from the evaporator coils during the defrost cycle, ensuring that your refrigerator operates efficiently and maintains the proper temperature. This heater prevents excessive frost accumulation, which can impair cooling performance.

Causes of a bad defrost heater can include wear and tear over time, electrical issues such as short circuits or blown fuses, and physical damage from handling or impact. When the defrost heater fails, frost and ice can build up, leading to cooling issues.

Symptoms of a bad Defrost Heater include:

• Excessive frost buildup in the freezer
• The refrigerator not maintaining the correct temperature
• The defrost cycle not activating
• Water leakage inside the refrigerator

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 Start Relay is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It is an electro-mechanical part that signals the refrigerator’s compressor to activate, initiating the cooling cycle. As the main switching mechanism that controls refrigerator operation, start relays experience considerable wear over thousands of on/off cycles.

Symptoms of a bad start relay include:

• Refrigerator failing to cool or compressor not engaging  
• Constant humming sound but no cold air circulation
• Cooling performance declining noticeably over time

Causes of start relay failure generally relate to ongoing heat and electrical load stresses that slowly degrade insulation and wiring over the refrigerator’s lifetime. Corrosion from condensation or refrigerant leaks inside the unit can also compromise its function.

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

A small replacement mounting clip that secures interior trim and panels to restore proper fit and reduce rattling. Use when a broken or missing clip leaves gaps or lets panels or trim sit loose on the appliance. What it does:

• Secures trim, access panels or small plastic covers to the appliance frame
• Restores proper alignment and helps eliminate panel vibration or rattling
• Replaces cracked, worn or missing clips that allow gaps or loose parts
• Works as a simple fastener where the original clip has failed

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Clip typically installs with a push-fit or snap-in motion; a flat tool may help remove the old clip
• Handle surrounding trim gently to avoid cracking brittle plastic
• Verify correct clip orientation before snapping into place

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
