Parts for Frigidaire PLRU1778ES2: 07 - System Parts

Freezer running constantly or not cooling properly? The condenser coil dissipates heat from the refrigerant system. Moderately difficult repair.

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

Includes service line.

Fixes frost buildup on evaporator coils causing warming or ice accumulation. Test with multimeter for continuity. DIY-friendly repair component.

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.

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

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 guard is a molded protective cover that shields internal components and helps maintain proper airflow, reducing the chance of damage and contact with moving parts. It's a simple replacement when a damaged guard exposes wiring or fan areas. What it does:

• Covers and protects wiring, fan blades, and nearby components from debris and accidental contact
• Helps maintain proper airflow paths around cooling components
• Reduces vibration noise by stabilizing loose openings or edges
• Restores a finished appearance where the original guard was cracked or missing

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Remove any fasteners or panels blocking access; install in the original orientation and secure with the factory screws
• Do not force the part; ensure clips or tabs fully engage to avoid loosening
• If other parts are damaged or mounting points are broken, replace or repair those first for a secure fit

Rubber mounting grommet that cushions and isolates the compressor from the chassis. Replace if cracked, worn, or missing to restore proper support.

Refrigerator not cooling or freezer not freezing? This compressor kit circulates refrigerant to restore proper cooling. Advanced repair, requires HVAC expertise.

Fix erratic cooling or defrost issues with this electronic controller board. Restores automatic temperature control and defrost cycles in your refrigerator.

Collects defrost water from the evaporator and channels it to the drain system. Replace if cracked, broken, or missing to prevent leaks inside the cabinet.

This capacitor stores and releases electrical energy to help the refrigerator's compressor start and run smoothly. Replacing a weak or failed capacitor can restore reliable compressor startup and more consistent cooling performance.

• Provides the electrical boost/phase shift needed for compressor motor startup and steady operation
• Works with the start device to deliver proper current to the compressor
• Failure symptoms can include clicking or humming near the compressor, poor cooling, or short cycling
• May cause the compressor not to start after power interruptions when weak or failed

• Disconnect power before servicing any electrical component
• Safely discharge the capacitor before handling; avoid touching terminals
• Note wire positions and terminal markings; transfer leads one at a time to the matching terminals
• Secure the capacitor in its mounting/bracket to prevent vibration damage

Refrigerator not cooling or running constantly? A failed condenser fan motor prevents heat dissipation. DIY repair typically takes 30-45 minutes.

Refrigerator not cooling properly? A damaged condenser fan blade prevents airflow over the condenser coils. Quick DIY fix—simply push into place.
