Parts for Frigidaire FRS26ZNHB0: 07 - System Parts

Includes service line.

This defrost heater mounts at the evaporator and melts frost during the automatic defrost cycle. Replacing a failed heater restores airflow, helps prevent ice buildup, and brings cooling performance and temperature stability back to your refrigerator. What it does:

• Heats the evaporator coil during defrost to clear frost and ice
• Keeps air passages open to maintain even cooling between compartments
• Common failure signs: thick frost on the rear freezer panel or iced-over evaporator
• Resulting symptoms may include poor cooling, a warm fresh food section, or fan noise from ice contact

• 1 defrost heater

• Disconnect power before servicing; let heavy ice thaw and never use sharp tools on coils or liners
• Remove the freezer's rear panel to access the heater; note wire routing and clip positions
• Transfer any existing brackets/clips and secure the heater in the original location, clear of plastic parts and the drain trough
• Check heater and defrost thermostat continuity before reassembly; ensure all connectors are fully seated

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

The Defrost Thermostat is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It monitors the temperature of the evaporator coils and activates the defrost heater when necessary. This process prevents frost buildup on the coils, ensuring the refrigerator maintains optimal cooling efficiency.

You should replace the defrost thermostat if it becomes faulty or damaged. Common causes of a bad defrost thermostat include electrical failures, regular wear and tear, or temperature fluctuations that can degrade the component over time.

Symptoms of a bad defrost thermostat include:

• Excessive frost buildup on the evaporator coils
• Refrigerator not cooling properly
• The defrost cycle not activating
• Increased energy consumption

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

This rubber compressor mounting grommet cushions and isolates the compressor to reduce vibration and noise that can transfer to the cabinet. It helps maintain stable compressor positioning for quieter, smoother operation. What it does:

• Absorbs compressor vibration to lower noise and rattling
• Dampens movement that can cause abrasion or wear on mounting hardware
• Helps maintain proper alignment of the compressor assembly
• Common symptom: excessive buzzing, vibration, or rattling from the back of the appliance

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before servicing.
• Support the compressor before removing mounts to prevent shifting or damage.
• Inspect surrounding mounts and hardware; replace any worn or damaged pieces.

Specs: Hex washer head , 10 b x 1 1/4

Includes relay, overload and cover.

Galvanized Steel

This #8-32 x 3/8 screw secures appliance panels, brackets, and assemblies. Replace a missing or stripped fastener to keep parts tight and aligned, reduce vibration, and restore proper fit in compatible refrigerators and freezers.

• Machine-thread fastener sized #8-32, 3/8-inch length
• Secures control housings, trims, covers, and support brackets per model design
• Replaces missing, worn, or corroded screws that cause loose or rattling parts
• Helps maintain alignment and stability after service

• Unplug the appliance; shut off water if applicable
• Match thread size to the original and start by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Use the correct driver; do not overtighten, especially into plastic
• Verify component alignment and operation after fastening

• Thread size: #8-32
• Length: 3/8 inch

This factory fastener secures appliance panels and components. Replace a missing, stripped, or corroded screw to restore a tight, rattle-free fit and keep brackets and covers properly aligned.

• Fastens panels, brackets, and internal parts as specified by the manufacturer
• Helps maintain alignment and reduces vibration/rattling
• Replace if the head is stripped, threads are damaged, or corrosion is present
• Symptoms include loose/missing hardware, gaps, or rattling during operation

• Disconnect power; shut off gas/water if applicable before servicing
• Use the correct driver/bit size to avoid stripping the head
• Start threads by hand to prevent cross-threading; do not overtighten
• Match screw length/thread to the location; replace in sets when required

Color: Black

This spacer tube positions and supports a refrigerator tube or small component to keep lines aligned and reduce vibration. Replaces a worn or missing spacer to help stop rubbing, rattling, or misalignment of tubing or nearby parts. What it does:

• Holds and centers a tube or small assembly to maintain proper clearance
• Prevents tubing from rubbing against cabinet walls or other components
• Reduces vibration and noise caused by loose or misaligned lines
• Helps maintain correct routing to lower risk of chafing or wear

• Disconnect power and shut off water supply before starting
• Typically installs by sliding or snapping onto the tube or mounting boss; minimal tools needed
• Inspect surrounding tubing and clips; replace any damaged fasteners to ensure secure routing

Galvanized Steel

This is a factory-style replacement screw used to secure appliance components. It restores proper fastening where the original screw is missing, stripped, or damaged so panels and assemblies stay firmly attached. What it does:

• Fastens panels, brackets, or components to the appliance frame or assemblies
• Replaces missing or damaged mounting hardware that can cause rattles or loose parts
• Provides the correct fit and thread engagement for a secure connection
• Helps maintain appliance alignment and safe operation

• Use the matching screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head
• Tighten until snug; do not over-torque to prevent thread or part damage
• Turn off power and remove any access panels before working on electrical components
