Replacement shelf support bracket for freezers. Secures and stabilizes freezer shelves. Replace if broken, cracked, or missing due to heavy loads or age.

The Support-Shelf is an OEM part for Frigidaire freezers, designed to provide sturdy and reliable support for the freezer shelves. This part ensures that the shelves remain level and secure under the weight of stored items.

Causes of a bad Support-Shelf can range from overloading shelves beyond their weight capacity, to normal wear and tear from years of use. 

Symptoms of a bad Support-Shelf include:

• Shelves sagging or not sitting level, which can lead to inefficient storage and the risk of items falling.
• Cracks or breaks in the support, compromising the stability of the entire shelving system.
• Difficulty installing or removing shelves, indicating that the supports may be damaged or misshapen.

This OEM Frigidaire part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator and some Kenmore models.

This kit helps the compressor motor start properly and protects it from electrical overload during operation. Located near the compressor at the back or bottom of the refrigerator, replacement is needed if the refrigerator won't cool, makes clicking sounds, or if the compressor won't start.

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
