Frigidaire chest freezer common replacement parts

• Lid gasket. The lid gasket is a flexible seal that attaches to the outer edge of the freezer lid to form an air tight seal around the lid opening when the lid is closed. The lid gasket prevents warm, moist air from leaking into the freezer compartment.
• Overload/PTC relay. The overload/PTC relay starts the compressor motor. It has 2 components: an overload protector that trips when the compressor motor overheats or locks up, and a relay. The relay manages the start-up of the compressor and keeps the compressor running until the compressor cycles off.
• Temperature control thermostat. The temperature control thermostat is mounted in the control housing area and controls the temperature inside the freezer. It turns the compressor on and off as needed to maintain the set temperature in the freezer. The thermostat has a temperature sensor tube that detects the actual temperature in the freezer compartment and controls the temperature based on the reading from that sensor. Replace the temperature control thermostat if it isn't operating properly.
• Wiring harness. The wire harness is a collection of wires, cut to specific lengths, that connects the various components in the freezer. The ends of the wires normally have the proper connection plugs or spades so that they attach correctly to the original components in the freezer.

Troubleshooting your Frigidaire chest freezer when interior lights don't work

If your interior lights don't turn on when you open the freezer lid and you already replaced the light bulb, then the lid switch may have failed. Unplug the freezer and test the lid switch with a multimeter. Replace the lid switch if it failed.

Some chest freezers use LED's to light the interior compartment. If an LED light board doesn't light up when activated, replace the light board.

Faulty lighting system wiring also prevents interior lights from working. Replace or repair any damaged wiring in the lighting system.
