The Wire Harness is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It is a bundled set of multi-colored insulated wires that connect electronic and mechanical components inside the refrigerator. The wire harness reliably transmits power and control signals throughout the appliance. 

Symptoms of a bad wire harness include:

• Loose, frayed, or damaged wiring  
• Intermittent operation of lights, fans or temperature control
• Buzzing or humming noises coming from wires
• Error codes related to communicating with modules

Causes of a bad wire harness can include insulation cracking from repeated flexing/bending over time and exposure to liquid or rodent damage. This puts components at risk of short-circuits.

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models. Replace yours today to avoid potential electrical issues.

The Thermistor Kit is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. Consisting of a thermistor temperature sensor and mounting bracket, this kit plays a key role in refrigeration system operation.
