Parts for Gibson GFU14F3AW2: 07 - System Parts

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

Includes service line.

The Defrost Heater is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It is designed to melt frost and ice buildup from the evaporator coils during the defrost cycle, ensuring that your refrigerator operates efficiently and maintains the proper temperature. This heater prevents excessive frost accumulation, which can impair cooling performance.

Causes of a bad defrost heater can include wear and tear over time, electrical issues such as short circuits or blown fuses, and physical damage from handling or impact. When the defrost heater fails, frost and ice can build up, leading to cooling issues.

Symptoms of a bad Defrost Heater include:

• Excessive frost buildup in the freezer
• The refrigerator not maintaining the correct temperature
• The defrost cycle not activating
• Water leakage inside the refrigerator

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

The Defrost Thermostat is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire refrigerators. This component plays a crucial role in the defrost system, monitoring and regulating the temperature to ensure proper defrosting of the evaporator coils.

Causes of a faulty defrost thermostat can include normal wear and tear over time, exposure to excessive temperature fluctuations or moisture, or electrical malfunctions.

Symptoms of needing to replace the defrost thermostat include:

• Improper defrosting or lack of defrosting
• Frost buildup on the evaporator coils
• The refrigerator running constantly or cycling frequently

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

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 compressor grommet is a rubber mounting isolator that cushions and secures the compressor to the appliance chassis, helping reduce vibration and noise while preventing metal-to-metal contact and premature wear. What it does:

• Cushions compressor movement to reduce vibration transmitted to the cabinet
• Dampens noise and rattling caused by compressor operation
• Prevents direct metal-to-metal contact that can wear mounting points
• Helps keep the compressor positioned and secured under load

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing the compressor or base pan
• Replace grommets while supporting the compressor to avoid strain on lines and connections
• Inspect remaining mounting grommets; replace all worn isolators for best performance

This controller kit is the electronic oven control module that governs bake, broil, and temperature functions. Replacing a failing control restores accurate oven operation and responsive keypad/display performance.

• Regulates oven heating cycles and temperature feedback from the sensor
• Controls bake/broil relays and user interface responses
• Common failure symptoms: no bake/broil, temperature inaccuracy, unresponsive buttons, blank or erroring display
• May recover from intermittent power-up, beeping, or F-codes tied to the control

• Disconnect power before servicing; high voltage is present
• Handle the board by edges; avoid static discharge to components
• Transfer all wiring one connector at a time to the matching locations
• After installation, restore power and verify oven operation and temperature calibration

A small replacement mounting clip that secures interior trim and panels to restore proper fit and reduce rattling. Use when a broken or missing clip leaves gaps or lets panels or trim sit loose on the appliance. What it does:

• Secures trim, access panels or small plastic covers to the appliance frame
• Restores proper alignment and helps eliminate panel vibration or rattling
• Replaces cracked, worn or missing clips that allow gaps or loose parts
• Works as a simple fastener where the original clip has failed

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Clip typically installs with a push-fit or snap-in motion; a flat tool may help remove the old clip
• Handle surrounding trim gently to avoid cracking brittle plastic
• Verify correct clip orientation before snapping into place

This drain cup collects and channels defrost meltwater away from the evaporator area to the fridge drain system, helping prevent leaks and ice buildup. Fits in the evaporator/defrost tray area to guide water to the drain. What it does:

• Catches meltwater from the evaporator and funnels it toward the drain line or drain pan
• Helps prevent water pooling, leaks, and ice buildup around the evaporator
• Restores proper defrost drainage when the original cup is cracked, warped, or missing
• Simple, passive plastic part — no electrical connections

• One drain cup

• Remove power to the appliance before accessing internal panels; follow manufacturer safety guidelines
• Typically installs in the evaporator/defrost tray area; may require removing interior panels or the evaporator cover
• Verify correct orientation so water flows into the drain tube; replace any damaged drain grommets or tubes

This support is a small mounting bracket used inside the appliance to hold an interior component, such as a shelf or basket. Replacing a cracked or missing support restores a secure, level fit and helps prevent wobbling or dropping.

• Provides a stable mounting point for a shelf, basket, rail, or panel
• Keeps interior components aligned and level
• Common symptoms: shelf/basket tilts, won't seat, or falls; visible cracks or missing support
• Replace if broken, deformed, or worn to restore proper fit

• Disconnect power and clear the work area before starting
• Remove the affected shelf/basket/panel to access the mounting point
• Release the damaged support (snap tabs or remove screw), align, and install the new support
• Reinstall the component and verify it sits level and secure
