The EVAPORATOR INSULATOR is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It is a heat-resistant insulating pad or wrap that surrounds the evaporator coils. The insulator works to retain cool air and prevent warmer air from entering the refrigerated compartment.  

Causes of a bad insulator can include deterioration or breakdown of insulating properties over time due to aging materials. Cracks, holes, or compressed sections of the insulator result in reduced insulation performance.

Symptoms of a bad evaporator insulator include:

• Inconsistently cool or warmer fridge temperatures 
• Frost or ice buildup on evaporator coils or surrounding areas
• Higher than normal electric bills from inefficient cooling
• Warm or cold spots inside refrigerator shelves and compartments

This OEM Frigidaire replacement insulator is compatible with some Kitchenaid, Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator models. 

This evaporator insulator provides thermal protection around the freezer's evaporator coils, helping maintain proper temperatures and preventing ice buildup in unwanted areas. It ensures efficient cooling operation while protecting the surrounding cabinet from condensation damage. Replace this part if you notice excessive frost buildup, temperature fluctuations, or moisture accumulation around the evaporator area.

Freezer runs constantly or has frost buildup? The defrost thermostat regulates temperature to prevent ice on coils. DIY-friendly repair in 1-2 hours.

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

Fridge not cooling or making loud buzzing noise? This compressor kit restores cooling in refrigerators and freezers. Professional repair recommended.

This is a compressor start relay device that helps the compressor motor start up and run efficiently. It provides the initial electrical boost needed to get the compressor running and then disengages once the motor reaches operating speed. Replace this part if the refrigerator is not cooling, the compressor clicks on and off repeatedly, or you hear a buzzing sound coming from the back of the unit.

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.

Replacement mounting clip for freezers and refrigerators. Secures interior panels and trim to prevent rattling. Replaces broken or missing clips.

Secures the compressor to the mounting bracket in your refrigerator or freezer. Replace if missing, stripped, or corroded during compressor service.

This small plastic clip secures the dishwasher drain hose to the pump assembly or discharge fitting, keeping the hose in place and helping prevent leaks or disconnection during operation. What it does:

• Holds the drain hose firmly to the pump or outlet fitting to maintain a watertight connection
• Prevents the hose from slipping free during drain cycles
• Helps stop water leaks and washing chamber flooding caused by a loose hose
• Useful when replacing a cracked or broken retaining clip

• One drain hose retaining clip

• Disconnect power and water supply before accessing the dishwasher lower access area
• Remove the access panel or kickplate to reach the drain hose and pump connection
• Use pliers or a flat tool to remove the old clip and snap the new clip over the hose/fitting until fully seated
• After installation, run a short drain cycle and inspect for leaks; re-secure if necessary

Compressor clicks and won't start? Run capacitor helps start and run the compressor motor. Most DIYers replace in under 15 minutes with basic tools.

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.

This thermistor is a temperature sensor that monitors the internal temperature of the refrigerator or freezer compartment and sends readings to the control board. The control board uses this data to regulate the compressor and maintain the correct temperature. Replace this sensor if your unit runs too cold, too warm, or cycles on and off erratically, or if a diagnostic code points to a faulty temperature sensor.
