Arctic Air Refrigerator Parts

Arctic Air compact refrigerators are built for value, and when they need repair, OEM parts keep them running efficiently. The most common failures are compressor start relays, door gaskets that lose their seal, and thermostats that drift out of calibration. These are straightforward fixes that cost far less than replacing the unit.

Repair Clinic carries genuine OEM Arctic Air parts with same-day shipping on most items. Whether your fridge isn't cooling, the door won't seal tight, or the compressor clicks but won't run, we have the exact replacement you need. Browse Arctic Air refrigerator parts by symptom or use your model number to find the right fit.

• Compressor won't start, clicking sound: Start relay — $12 to $25 part that replaces the symptom before condemning the compressor
• Fridge runs but doesn't cool: Thermostat, evaporator fan motor, or start relay — all common Arctic Air failures
• Door won't seal, warm spots in fridge: Door gasket — measure your model to help support proper fit and magnet strength
• Frost buildup in freezer compartment: Defrost thermostat or evaporator fan motor — ice blockage is the symptom
• Compressor running constantly, no cooling: Thermistor/temperature sensor — drift in temperature reading causes endless run cycles

Arctic Air Refrigerator Parts — Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my Arctic Air refrigerator click but not cool?

That clicking sound is the compressor trying to start and failing. The start relay is a small part that energizes the compressor motor. When it fails, you hear the click but the compressor never spins. A new start relay is a $12 to $25 fix and often saves the compressor from burnout. Before replacing the relay, confirm the fridge has power and the thermostat is set to cool — obvious but easy to overlook on compact units.

How do I find my Arctic Air model number for parts?

The model number is usually on a label inside the fridge, often on the back wall near the top or bottom, or on the back exterior of the cabinet. It's also commonly on the original documentation or receipt. Enter the full model number into Repair Clinic's search bar to see all compatible parts — this ensures you get the exact fit, especially for gaskets and thermostats that vary by size.

What's the most common Arctic Air refrigerator failure?

The compressor start relay and door gasket are tied for #1. The start relay fails because it handles high electrical load every time the compressor tries to start. Door gaskets fail from years of opening/closing and temperature cycling — the seal hardens and shrinks, and you'll notice condensation or frost buildup around the door. Both are inexpensive parts with big impact on fridge performance.

Can I use an aftermarket door gasket instead of OEM?

OEM gaskets are worth the investment. Aftermarket gaskets often have weaker magnets or inconsistent profiles that don't seal as well, especially on compact refrigerators where the door gap is tight. A poorly sealing door makes the compressor run constantly, which burns energy and stresses the start relay. Measure your model number first — gasket sizes vary, and OEM fit is critical.

Arctic Air Refrigerator Model Number: Where to Look

On Arctic Air refrigerators, look for the model number on a label inside the fresh food compartment, usually along a side wall or behind the crisper drawer. If it is not there, check the back exterior of the cabinet and compare the number with your paperwork or receipt. The model number identifies the entire refrigerator, not just one part, so use the complete sequence, including letters and numbers. Enter it in the model number search to pull up the parts matched to your unit. That filters the full Arctic Air refrigerator catalog to compatible options and helps you avoid mismatched parts, saving time during the repair.
