Parts for Electrolux FFFU14F2QWH: 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.

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

The product featured is a Frigidaire refrigerator compressor. The compressor is a vital component for the cooling and freezing process of a refrigerator. A compressor works together with the evaporator in providing the cold air needed to keep everything at the desired temperature. When a compressor fails, this could have an effect that calls for an emergency repair. Losing the compressor function means the refrigerator stops getting cold in both compartments. Prolonging the repair could mean the loss of all the food items stored inside. A faulty compressor may become very loud when it operates. Users may hear a slight clicking sound on a compressor that's entirely out of commission. This is the relay clicking in an attempt to power the compressor. If a compressor does go out, keep the doors of the freezer and refrigerator shut. There's a chance the food can be salvaged if repairs take place fast enough. This compressor is a genuine OEM product and is sourced directly from the manufacturer and is only available as an individual component. Frigidaire, Kenmore, and Maytag refrigerators can be repaired with this component.

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. 

This small mounting clip secures interior or cabinet components to keep panels and trim stable, helping reduce noise and maintain proper alignment. It's a simple replacement that restores a snug fit where the original clip has broken or worn. What it does:

• Holds panels, trim, or small components in place to prevent gaps or rattling
• Restores proper alignment of clipped parts after damage or wear
• Maintains a secure attachment point for adjacent parts during normal use
• Helps prevent moisture or debris from entering behind secured panels

• Disconnect power or unplug the appliance before accessing internal components
• Handle the clip and surrounding trim carefully to avoid cracking adjacent plastic
• Use basic hand tools as needed; do not force clips into place—align before snapping
• Replace any damaged mounting features for a secure fit

The Run Capacitor is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire refrigerators. This electrical component plays a crucial role in providing the initial torque needed to start and run the compressor motor, ensuring efficient and reliable operation of your refrigerator's cooling system.

Causes of needing to replace the run capacitor can include normal wear and tear over time, exposure to high temperatures or electrical surges, or physical damage to the capacitor itself.

Symptoms that may indicate a failing run capacitor include:

• The refrigerator not running or cooling properly
• The compressor failing to start or running intermittently
• Humming or buzzing noises coming from the compressor area

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