Parts for Frigidaire FFH17F7HWD: 07 - System Parts

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 not cooling or running constantly? The evaporator may have failed. Professional installation recommended due to refrigerant system work.

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. 

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.

Freezer not cooling or running constantly? This compressor kit circulates refrigerant through the system. Advanced repair requires refrigerant handling.

This electronic control board manages core cooling functions in your appliance, including compressor/fan operation and the automatic defrost cycle. Replacing a failing board can restore stable temperatures and more reliable, frost-free performance.

• Regulates compressor and evaporator fan operation to maintain the set temperature
• Controls and times the automatic defrost cycle to reduce frost buildup
• Interprets inputs from sensors and user controls to coordinate system responses
• Common symptoms of a failed board: inconsistent temperatures, continuous running or short cycling, heavy frost/ice on coils, or unresponsive/intermittent controls

• Disconnect power before servicing; handle the board with ESD precautions
• Note connector locations; transfer any mounting brackets or covers from the original as needed
• Seat all connectors fully and secure the board before restoring power
• After installation, monitor temperature and defrost operation

Secures interior trim and panels in place to eliminate gaps and rattling. Replace when clips break or go missing. Confirm fit with your model number.

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

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

Suction line plug seals the refrigerant line connection in your freezer's compressor system. Replace if cracked, damaged, or missing to maintain proper seal.

This #8-32 x 3/8 screw secures appliance panels, brackets, and assemblies. Replace a missing or stripped fastener to keep parts tight and aligned, reduce vibration, and restore proper fit in compatible refrigerators and freezers.

• Machine-thread fastener sized #8-32, 3/8-inch length
• Secures control housings, trims, covers, and support brackets per model design
• Replaces missing, worn, or corroded screws that cause loose or rattling parts
• Helps maintain alignment and stability after service

• Unplug the appliance; shut off water if applicable
• Match thread size to the original and start by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Use the correct driver; do not overtighten, especially into plastic
• Verify component alignment and operation after fastening

• Thread size: #8-32
• Length: 3/8 inch

Hex head screw that secures panels, brackets, and internal components in refrigerators and appliances. Replace when missing, stripped, or damaged.

This replacement power cord delivers household electricity from the outlet to your appliance. Installing a new cord restores safe, reliable power when the original is damaged, worn, or causing intermittent operation.

• Supplies AC power from a household outlet to the unit
• Common fix for no power, flickering lights, or power loss when the cord is moved
• Replaces cords with cuts, cracks, burn marks, or melted areas
• Restores a secure electrical connection for safe, consistent operation

• Unplug the appliance and verify the wall outlet is working before replacing parts
• Access the cord routing and internal connections; note wire positions and routing before removal
• Transfer and secure any strain relief/clamp; keep wiring clear of sharp edges and hot surfaces
• After installation, ensure the cord isn't pinched and the plug seats fully in the outlet

Fix error code E8, high temp alarms, or irregular defrost cycles. This thermistor monitors evaporator temperature. DIY repair typically under 15 minutes.
