Aluminum strap secures the defrost heater against the evaporator coil. Replace if broken, cracked, or missing to maintain proper heater contact.

Includes service line.

Wire harness for freestanding freezers. Connects electrical components inside the cabinet. Replace if wires are damaged, frayed, or connections are loose.

Fix frost buildup in your freezer with this defrost heater assembly. Melts ice off the evaporator coils during defrost cycles. Includes thermostat.

Freezer won't stay cold or runs too cold? A faulty heat exchanger disrupts refrigerant flow. Requires professional brazing and refrigerant recharge.

Freezer not cooling or running constantly? The evaporator may have failed. Professional installation recommended due to refrigerant system work.

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. 

Evaporator coils frozen solid? Defrost thermostat senses coil temperature and triggers the heater to melt frost buildup. Straightforward replacement.

This compressor with mounting clip is the sealed refrigeration compressor assembly that circulates refrigerant to keep your refrigerator cold. Replacing a failed compressor restores the system's ability to cool when repairable. What it does:

• Compresses refrigerant vapor to maintain proper cooling cycle; primary sealed-system pump.
• Commonly linked to symptoms like no cooling, refrigerator runs but temperature rises, or compressor not cycling.
• Works as the sealed-system component; requires correct match to refrigerant and system specifications.

• One compressor assembly with mounting clip as shown.

• Replacement involves sealed-system work.
• Disconnect power before starting; follow all electrical safety practices.
• Use proper tools and gaskets/hoses; pressure-test and leak-check after repair.

Freezer won't cool or compressor won't start? The start device provides the electrical boost to start your compressor. Direct plug-in replacement.

Replacement mounting clip for freezers and refrigerators. Secures interior panels and trim to prevent rattling. Replaces broken or missing clips.

Compressor clicks and won't start? Run capacitor helps start and run the compressor motor. Most DIYers replace in under 15 minutes with basic tools.

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

Small mounting bracket that holds shelves or baskets inside your freezer. Replace if cracked, broken, or missing to restore secure, level positioning.

Retaining clip for freezer interior components. Secures shelves, bins, or trim pieces in place. Replace if cracked, broken, or missing to restore fit.

Freezer won't cool or compressor won't start? This compressor start relay restores reliable startup and cooling. Located in the compressor compartment.
