The Power Cord is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire refrigerators. As the lifeline connecting the appliance to a wall outlet, this cord safely delivers necessary voltage to operate refrigerator systems. 

Potential causes for needing a new power cord include exposure to cuts, abrasions or rodent damage over time in the storage area. Repeated bending stress during installation or removal can also wear out plastic insulation faster.

Symptoms of a faulty power cord include: 

• Refrigerator fails to power on at all
• Flickering lights or inconsistent runs of the compressor  
• Shock, buzzing or humming sounds coming from the cord
• Bare copper wire showing through damaged insulation

This power cord also fits some Electrolux and Gibson refrigerators.
