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.

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

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.

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 freezing? A failed compressor stops the cooling cycle. This sealed system repair requires a licensed technician to complete.

Fix a clicking compressor or refrigerator that won't cool. This start relay and overload assembly restores compressor startup. DIY repair in 10-15 minutes.

This is the compressor start device that helps the refrigerator's compressor motor start up by providing the initial surge of power needed to begin the compression cycle. It regulates current flow to the compressor windings during startup. Replace this part if the refrigerator is not cooling, the compressor clicks on and off repeatedly without running, or you hear a buzzing sound followed by a click coming from the back of the unit.

Compressor vibrating or loose? This mounting screw secures the compressor in freezers and refrigerators. Simple fix, basic tools required.

Small mounting bracket that holds shelves or baskets inside your freezer. Replace if cracked, broken, or missing to restore secure, level positioning.

This retainer lead wire secures appliance wiring to keep harnesses organized and away from heat or moving parts, reducing wear and accidental disconnection. It's a simple replacement to restore proper wire routing and protection. What it does:

• Clips or holds the wiring harness in place to prevent chafing and strain
• Helps keep wires away from hot surfaces, vents, or moving components
• Reduces risk of intermittent electrical connections caused by loose wiring
• Restores factory routing after service or component replacement

• Disconnect power to the appliance before installing to avoid shock or injury
• Remove any panels necessary to access the original retainer and wiring route
• Replace like-for-like, seating the retainer securely so the harness cannot shift
• If wires show damage or insulation wear, inspect further and replace damaged wiring before reassembly
