Parts for Frigidaire FSC23R5DBL: 13 - System Parts

The Frigidaire PureSource Plus WFCB Refrigerator Water Filter is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. This water filter is specifically engineered to reduce impurities and contaminants in your drinking water and ice, including chlorine taste and odor, lead, cysts, and particulates. 

Regular replacement of the water filter is recommended to maintain the best water quality and flow rate. Over time, the filter can become clogged with particles and contaminants, which can reduce its effectiveness and potentially affect the taste and odor of your water.

Symptoms of a filter that needs replacement include:

• Reduced water flow from the dispenser
• Unpleasant taste or odor in the water and ice
• The refrigerator's water filter indicator light turns on

This OEM Frigidaire part can also be used on Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.

This condenser coil assembly removes heat from the refrigerant so your refrigerator can maintain proper cooling. Replacing a damaged or clogged condenser restores heat rejection and helps the compressor run more efficiently. What it does

• Transfers heat from the refrigerant to the surrounding air so the system can cool interior compartments
• Helps prevent the compressor from running continuously by allowing proper heat dissipation
• Commonly fails when fins are bent, clogged with debris, or corroded, causing reduced cooling performance
• Can cause the refrigerator to run hot, overheat at the rear, or cycle abnormally when compromised

• One condenser coil assembly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Replacement typically requires removal of lower rear access panels and panel fasteners; keep hardware for reinstallation
• Handle the coil carefully to avoid bending fins or damaging tubing

Includes service line.

The Power Cord is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It transmits electrical current from the wall outlet directly to the internal refrigerator components, allowing them to operate properly. As the critical link supplying energy, this power cord plays an essential role in refrigerator performance.
