Fitment & FAQ

Will this kit work on a Whirlpool, Samsung, Kenmore or Haier fridge?

No - it's made for specific Frigidaire-built fridges. Whirlpool, Samsung, Haier and the Kenmore models checked so far aren't compatible with this kit.

Does this kit fit every Frigidaire refrigerator?

No - only specific Frigidaire-built models with a mechanical cold control and a matching control housing. Many Frigidaire models aren't compatible, so contact us with your full model number.

Should I get this kit or the Universal 120V garage heater kit?

It depends on your fridge. This kit fits specific Frigidaire models with a mechanical cold control. If your control housing clips in instead of screwing down, it usually needs the Universal 120V kit.

Does this kit work on fridges with electronic controls?

No - it needs a mechanical cold control. Fridges with a control board or temperature sensors can't use it; contact us with your model number to see if the Universal 120V kit fits.

Can I modify or rewire this kit to fit my fridge?

No - the kit's fit and electrical connections are specific to the models it was designed for, and modifying it could cause improper operation or safety issues.

I installed the kit but the heater wires never get warm. What should I check?

Re-check that every connection is secure and correctly oriented and that the kit is getting power. If it still won't heat, a component may be defective - contact us with photos of your install.

Does the kit come with a wiring diagram?

No - a wiring diagram isn't included. Follow the install video, or contact us for written install instructions.

Description

This kit is designed to allow your refrigerator to run properly in cold weather, as well as allow the owner to shut off the heater when needed, saving time and money.

When a standard garage heater kit is installed to a refrigerator, it forces the unit to run non-stop. Without a way to stop the heater running, it will run constantly even in spring, summer and fall causing higher electric bills and a lower lifespan of the refrigerator. With the addition of an inline switch, you can cut power to the heater only, without needing to disassemble the unit and remove the heater kit after each winter season.

To install the kit, you only need a 3/4" drill bit, and a screwdriver to remove the cold control assembly and defrost timer to install the switch and heater kit.

This set includes the following:

  • 5303918301 Frigidaire Foil Heater with pre-cut wires for assembly
  • 120v/6a Rocker Switch
  • 2x Posi-Lock Tool-less wire splicers

Please note that garage heater kits are designed for mechnically-timed and controlled refrigerators. If your refrigerator uses an adaptive defrost board and control board, this is unlikely to work for you. Your refrigerator MUST have a mechanical cold control system to use this style kit. 

For our new 120v Universal System that can work with control boards that have a 120v line going to the control board, use this item:

Good kit

Found and ordered this for my garage fridge after a cold snap made my garage colder than usual in the winter and my freezer evidently stopped working. I watched the youtube video for install instructions and everything was there and it made the job easy, took me about 30 minutes to complete. Would have been faster if I had the exact drill bit for the switch hole, but I had to file out a larger opening. I installed in the springtime so can’t tell if it will work yet, but when switched on I can feel some warmth from the thermostat area.

Fridge heater - worked great! B

Food was thawing in the garage fridge - installed this and it resolved the issue immediately. Need to remember to turn it off once the weather warms up so as to not have the compressor running 24x7

Works as advertised

Install was simple and straight forward took all of 15 minutes. No longer have to worry about stuff in the freezer thawing out or about the beer not being cold enough. Highly recommend for anyone in an area with cold winters that has a garage fridge that isnt garage ready.

Perfect

Just what I was looking for has kept my fridge going even when the garage is 30 degrees. I was running a small space heater to keep the fridge from shut off. But this heater kit allowed me to not worry about it. Everything needed in the kit on\off switch is great won't have to uninstall in the summer. Instructions were great as well. Highly recommend!

Frigidaire garage heater kit

This kit is great and solved my problem with the freezer not working in cold Illinois winters in my cold garage. You can buy heaters all over the internet but this kit includes all the “extras” you need like in-line wire connectors, piggy back wire connectors, and a bypass switch. The online instruction video is great-watch it carefully! This kit is well thought out and complete. You only need your own drill bit and a screwdriver. Check it out! It’s well worth the price! I’ll be back to Ben’s for any future appliance parts or advice. A great find!

This product was easy to install in my Frigidaire refrigerator using Ben's YouTube video. Once installed it has worked well to keep my fridge's compressor running below the original low operating temperature of 55⁰. Seems to be effective at garage temperatures of 40⁰ and above. All parts shown in the video are included in the kit.

We had to throw hundreds of dollars worth of food out. After buying this, the freezer stays on. I can’t believe. Worth the money!

Best Product Ever (Garage Fridge Kit)

Have had the same issue with the garage refrigerator for years. In the winter, when the temps get very cold, the fridge (especially the freezer) would stop running because the fridge was "tricked" into thinking it was cold enough that the compressor would not come on. Items in the freezer would come up to almost thaw temperature and then refreeze again when the surrounding outside the fridge temp would rise. I did some research and learned about installing a heater inside the fridge control box, which seemed like a doable project. But then Ben's came up with an entire kit, to include and on/off switch, that allows the user to turn off the heater in the summer months. Genius. Easy install if you follow the included video link.

Perfect for Frigidaire Refrigerator Used in Garage

This worked perfectly as described and shown. I could have paid less for only the heater. However, that really only solves the problem by creating another bigger problem - a heater that runs continually. This kit is worht the price. The video is good for installation. The only issue I had was the wire colors in the video were a bit different from those on the heater strip received. Orange versus red. Just pay close attention to what you remove from where. Take a photo before removing to check back that you have the wiring correct. Otherwise, probably anyone can do this using his video and kit.

Excellent customer service

I ordered a part for my refrigerator and reached out to Ben for some assistance and feedback. He was very responsive. Turns out the part I purchased would not work for me. However, because of the excellent service I did not request a return and will be making all possible appliance purchases through this vendor in the future.

Heater for Whirlpool Side by Side frig

How do we know if the Refig is mechnically-timed and controlled refrigerator. I have a 2012 Whirlpool Side by Side frig model ED5LHAXWQ00 that has a control box on top / front. Will this or the universal heater work? Thanks!
