Frigidaire & Kenmore Garage Refrigerator Heater Kit 5303918301

Frigidaire and some Kenmore refrigerators offer a garage heater kit to keep the refrigerator operating at temperatures down to 34°F.  Without the garage heater kit, the manufacturer states that the refrigerator may not work correctly at temperatures below 55°F (13°C).  So if you plan to keep your refrigerator in a cold garage in the winter time or any other unheated area, you will want to install the garage kit that Frigidaire/Kenmore offer to keep your refrigerator working properly.  The garage heater kit is installed in the refrigerator section next to the thermostat & defrost timer.

Note: This is not designed to work with side-by-side, counter-depth refrigerators, models with electronic controls, or those made before 2001.  Only top freezer refrigerator models can use this heater designed for those put in garages or basements where the temperature drops to 34 degrees Fahrenheit.

The manufacture part number for the garage kit is 5303918301, and it can be purchased from our online store by clicking the link below:

Garage Refrigerator Heater Kit – MFG Part # 5303918301 (Part # PD00000271)

Before working on your appliance, make sure that it is unplugged.  Below are step by step instructions on how to install the garage heater kit.

39 Thoughts on "Frigidaire & Kenmore Garage Refrigerator Heater Kit 5303918301"

  1. Tim McMichael Posted on January 30, 2012

    Does this part work in a model 106.50564990 / Type C25SSA00 side by side? If not, what does work for that model?

    • Ryan Posted on January 31, 2012

      They do not make garage heater kits for side by side models at this time.

      • Jeffrey Roughgarden Posted on March 30, 2020

        In the 8 years since your comment, have you yet found any garage heater kits for side by side models?

        • Ryan Posted on March 30, 2020

          No

  2. John Posted on February 15, 2012

    Does this work with a Frigidaire model LFTR1814LW6 (TOP MOUNT FREEZER) Instructions for installation?

    • Ryan Posted on February 15, 2012

      They do not list a garage kit in the owners manual for your refrigerator. You could try calling Frigidaire to see if the garage kit is compatible with your model.

      Installation instructions are included with the part. We do not have them in a downloadable format.

    Will this part work on my kenmore 253.6481240E?
    thanks

    • Ryan Posted on February 21, 2012

      They do not list a garage kit in the owners manual for your refrigerator. You could try calling Kenmore to see if the garage kit is compatible with your model, but it probably isn’t.

      • ken Posted on February 21, 2012

        Well, I called Kenmore and their parts department said that part would be compatible. So I’ll order one up and hopefully it works. Thanks

        • Ryan Posted on February 21, 2012

    Ryan, will this work with my Kenmore model 253.68809015? Thanks for the help.

    • Ryan Posted on December 7, 2012

      Matt, since this is an Add-on part, I cannot verify the fitment. You will need to contact Kenmore to see if they can tell you it will fit your model.

  7. Raj Posted on January 20, 2013

    Does the Frigidaire garage kit work with Frigidaire LFHT1817LW refrigerator ?

    Would this part work with my Kenmore 970 418929?

    • Ryan Posted on March 29, 2013

  11. Janet Posted on February 18, 2016

    Will this part work for a Frigidaire refrigerator Model number FFTP12F3NW? Does the part go in the refrigerator or freezer consul? My freezer has a back control area. The refrigerator area control looks different than what is in the Installation Instructions. Your help is appreciated.

    • Ryan Posted on February 23, 2016

      This part is not compatible with your model refrigerator.

  12. ROBERT EMMERT Posted on March 29, 2019

    Grey(door Grnd), Orange (control), and Red (defrost). This is the 12v side of the control board. If not can I connect to 120v and Grnd? Thx

    • Ryan Posted on March 29, 2019

      This kit is NOT compatible with this model.

  13. Courtney Posted on August 5, 2019

    What is the purpose of the heater?

  14. Les Posted on October 22, 2019

    Can you leave the garage kit installed all year long, 24/7? Or, do we need a toggle switch to turn on/off?

    • Ryan Posted on October 22, 2019

      You might want to check with the manufacture regarding that.

  15. Rex Posted on November 9, 2019

    I purchased this kit for my Kenmore 253.60412411 from Sears but it didn’t have directions but it has electronic controls. Can I still connect it somehow?

      This kit does not work with any models that have electronic control boards.

      • Rex Posted on November 13, 2019

        Is there a garage heater kit for a refrigerator that has electronic controls? Kenmore 253.60412411

  16. David Posted on November 10, 2019

    I cannot verify if this works for Frigidaire model LFTR2021TFA.

  17. William Posted on November 14, 2020

    • Ryan Posted on November 14, 2020

      No it does not.

  18. William Posted on November 14, 2020

    Does this kit work with the Frigidaire model FFHT1425VV or FFHT1425VW?

    Does this kit work on either the Frigidaire FFET1022UW or the Frigidaire FFEt1222UW top freezer refrigerators?

  20. Owen Kassimir Posted on December 13, 2020

    I have installed the Frigidaire & Kenmore Garage Refrigerator Heater Kit. It seems to be working for the freezer keeping it cold but now the refrigerator is freezing in a few areas. What can be done about this?
    Thank you for your help.
