242044501 - Genuine OEM Frigidaire Refrigerator Evaporator Assembly

242044501 – Genuine OEM Frigidaire Refrigerator Evaporator Assembly

The 242044501 Genuine OEM Frigidaire Refrigerator Evaporator Assembly is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement component designed for compatible refrigerator and freezer applications. The evaporator is part of the sealed refrigeration system, where it absorbs heat from inside the appliance to help maintain the required cooling temperature. This genuine Frigidaire part is also listed for select Electrolux, Kenmore, Crosley, and other compatible refrigerator applications. Compatibility must be confirmed using the complete appliance model number.

Available through Appliance Kingdom, a Canadian appliance parts supplier based in Edmonton, Alberta, this replacement part is intended for customers troubleshooting refrigerator cooling problems and repairing a confirmed faulty evaporator. Appliance Kingdom serves homeowners, landlords, and professional appliance repair technicians across Canada.

Function & Importance of the Evaporator Assembly

The evaporator is a heat-exchanging component within the refrigerator's sealed refrigeration system. Refrigerant absorbs heat as it passes through the evaporator, allowing the refrigerator or freezer to maintain cold temperatures.

A properly functioning evaporator is essential for effective cooling, consistent temperature control, and normal refrigerator operation. Using the correct OEM replacement helps ensure the component is appropriate for the appliance's original refrigeration system.

If the evaporator becomes damaged, develops a refrigerant leak, or experiences another sealed-system fault, the refrigerator may struggle to maintain its temperature. Because several refrigeration components can cause similar symptoms, a qualified diagnosis is important before replacing the assembly.

Common Symptoms of a Faulty Evaporator Assembly

A damaged or malfunctioning evaporator may be associated with the following symptoms:

• Refrigerator compartment is too warm.

• Freezer compartment is too warm.

• Refrigerator runs for extended periods without reaching the set temperature.

• Cooling performance is weak or inconsistent.

• Water leakage occurs in association with a refrigeration or defrost-system problem.

• The appliance fails to cool adequately despite operating.

These symptoms do not automatically confirm an evaporator failure. A defective compressor, refrigerant leak, restricted sealed system, faulty defrost component, or another refrigeration problem can produce similar results.

Will Replacing Part 242044501 Fix My Refrigerator?

Replacing the evaporator assembly can resolve the issue if the original evaporator is confirmed to be defective and the replacement is correct for your appliance. However, the refrigerator should be diagnosed before ordering because poor cooling alone does not establish that the evaporator needs replacement.

Compatibility & Ordering Guidance

Part 242044501 is a genuine OEM evaporator assembly associated with select refrigerator and freezer applications from Frigidaire and other compatible appliance brands.

Before purchasing, check the complete model number on your refrigerator and confirm that this part is specified for that exact model. Parts that look similar can differ in dimensions, connections, and refrigeration-system requirements.

If you are unsure about compatibility, contact Appliance Kingdom with your appliance's full model number so the correct part can be confirmed before ordering.

Installation Overview

Replacing an evaporator assembly is an advanced appliance repair involving the sealed refrigeration system. The work may require refrigerant recovery equipment, specialised tools, leak testing, evacuation, and refrigerant charging according to the manufacturer's service specifications.

This repair is not generally recommended as a DIY project. Refrigerant handling and sealed-system repairs should be performed by a qualified refrigeration technician in accordance with applicable regulations and safety requirements.

Disconnect electrical power before servicing the appliance. Do not cut, open, or modify refrigerant lines unless you are qualified and equipped to perform the work safely.
