Parts for Frigidaire UFP16NL1: 04 - System And Automatic Defrost Parts

Plastic spacer support bushing that mounts between refrigerator components to reduce vibration and noise. Replace if cracked, worn, or missing.

This motor kit drives the microwave's glass turntable to rotate food for even heating. Replacing a worn motor restores smooth, consistent turntable motion and helps prevent cold spots during cooking or reheating.

• Powers the turntable tray via the coupler to rotate food evenly
• Common failure signs: turntable not turning, intermittent or noisy rotation, or jerky movement
• Helps resolve uneven heating caused by a stalled or slipping turntable

• Unplug the microwave before service; high-voltage components can retain a charge
• Access is typically from the bottom; remove the turntable tray and coupler before disassembly
• Note wire orientation and shaft alignment; transfer any brackets as required
• Test rotation before reassembling the exterior panels

Includes service line.

Foam insulation sleeve that wraps around the defrost drain tube. Replace if worn, missing, or damaged to prevent condensation and maintain proper insulation.

Secures the temperature sensing tube to the thermostat for accurate temperature control. Replace if loose, missing, or damaged to prevent erratic cooling.

This replacement tube routes water from the refrigerator's defrost area to the drain pan to help prevent leaks and pooling. A simple, direct-fit part for restoring proper drain flow and reducing water buildup. What it does

• Channels defrost and condensation water to the drain pan to prevent interior pooling.
• Helps maintain normal drainage to avoid ice buildup or water leaks.
• Restores a damaged, cracked or clogged original tube where flow is restricted.
• Works as a service part when inspecting drain path during defrost/drain issues.

• One replacement tube.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Remove access panels as needed and route tube along the factory path; avoid sharp bends or kinks.
• Inspect drain openings and heater components while replacing the tube.

The Defrost Thermostat is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It monitors the temperature of the evaporator coils and activates the defrost heater when necessary. This process prevents frost buildup on the coils, ensuring the refrigerator maintains optimal cooling efficiency.

You should replace the defrost thermostat if it becomes faulty or damaged. Common causes of a bad defrost thermostat include electrical failures, regular wear and tear, or temperature fluctuations that can degrade the component over time.

Symptoms of a bad defrost thermostat include:

• Excessive frost buildup on the evaporator coils
• Refrigerator not cooling properly
• The defrost cycle not activating
• Increased energy consumption

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

Aluminum strap secures the defrost heater against the evaporator coil. Replace if broken, cracked, or missing to maintain proper heater contact.

Fixes excessive frost buildup in freezer. This rotary defrost timer controls cooling and defrost cycles to prevent frost and maintain proper temperatures.

Replacement screw that secures brackets, shelves, trim, panels, and covers inside your appliance. Install when the original is missing, stripped, or corroded.

This is a compressor used in several types of home appliances. The compressor is designed to take cold gas in the appliance and place it under pressure so the gas raises in temperature. It is then moved through the refrigerator system to ensure the unit stays cold throughout the appliance. This part can become damaged or malfunction, which may cause the motor to stop running, make the motor noisier, or cause the motor to never stop running.If this happens, the compressor will need to be replaced. A basic set of tools will be needed. A pair of work gloves can also be useful. First, locate the compressor as it may be in various locations depending on the appliance model. Unplug the appliance before removing the compressor. Install the new compressor using the original bolts and nuts before turning the power back on and resuming normal use.This part is sold on an individual basis. The compressor is made to be used with refrigerators, ranges, stoves, ovens, air conditioners, and freezers created by Gibson, Frigidaire, Kelvinator, Montgomery Wards, Westinghouse, Tappan, JCPenney, Universal, and Kenmore. It is an authentic OEM replacement part directly sourced from the manufacturer.

This compressor overload is a thermal/protective device that helps prevent compressor damage by cutting power when the motor overheats or draws excessive current. It restores normal operation once conditions return to safe levels. What it does:

• Protects the refrigerator compressor from overheating and electrical overloads
• Works with the compressor start relay to help the motor start and run properly
• Common symptom linkage: replaces a failed overload when the compressor hums but won't start
• Stops compressor cycling or prevents repeated trips that cause cooling loss

• One compressor overload (single piece as shown)

• Disconnect all power before replacing to avoid shock or injury
• Handle terminals carefully and reconnect matching terminal positions
• Replace only with the same part number or equivalent
• If compressor still won't start after replacing the overload, check the start relay and compressor condition.

The Starter is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire refrigerators. This component is crucial for initiating the compressor, which is responsible for cooling the refrigerator. The starter works by providing the necessary electrical power to get the compressor running, ensuring that the refrigerator maintains the correct temperature.

Causes of a bad starter can include electrical malfunctions, wear and tear over time, or damage from power surges. A faulty starter can prevent the compressor from starting, leading to cooling issues.

Symptoms of a bad Starter include:

• The refrigerator not cooling properly
• The compressor not running or frequently cycling on and off
• Unusual clicking or buzzing noises from the compressor area
• The refrigerator being warmer than usual or food spoiling quickly

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

Protective terminal cover that shields electrical connections from debris and moisture. Replace if cracked, broken, or missing to ensure safe operation.

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

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

Replace your refrigerator's light bulb to restore interior visibility. Install when bulb burns out or flickers. Verify compatibility with your model number.

This door-activated light switch controls the interior lamp in your refrigerator. Replace a worn or sticking switch to restore dependable lighting and prevent the bulb from staying on and warming the compartment when the door is closed.

• Opens and closes the light circuit as the door is opened and closed
• Helps prevent the light from staying on with the door shut
• Common symptoms: interior light won't turn on, stays on with the door closed, or works intermittently
• Physical signs may include a stuck/broken plunger or damaged housing

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Gently pry the old switch from the liner/panel and release its locking tabs
• Transfer wires one at a time to the same terminals on the new switch
• Press the new switch fully into place; restore power, and test
