How to Replace a Refrigerator Condenser in a Frigidaire

Your Frigidaire refrigerator functions by way of a complex system of internal components. The components responsible for keeping the refrigerator cool are the condenser fan and coils. The coils are aluminum heat exchangers located on the bottom of the refrigerator. They draw out heat and allow the cool air to circulate in the refrigerator. The fan cools the coils as it draws out heat and prevents the coils from becoming damaged. On a Frigidaire refrigerator, the condenser fan assembly is on the rear of the unit.
