Frigidaire Freezer Door Key Parts — Models & Compatibility

Lost your freezer key? You're not alone. The 297147700 freezer door key fits over 20 Frigidaire, Kenmore, Kelvinator, Gibson, and Electrolux upright freezer models. This simple lock keeps curious kids out and prevents accidental temperature changes from the control panel.

Is This the Right Key for Your Model?

Check your model number — it's usually located inside the freezer door frame or on the back wall. This key fits FFU and AFFC series Frigidaire uprights, most 253-series Kenmore freezers, and several Kelvinator models. If your current key looks like a small silver cylinder with a flat head, this is the correct replacement.

About This Replacement Key

This is a direct replacement for part numbers AP4301346, PS1991481, and 216702900. The key works with the existing lock cylinder in your freezer door — you're just replacing the key itself, not the entire lock mechanism. One customer noted it "fit perfectly and I was able to lock my freezer" after ordering, though it's worth noting this is a small item with simple shipping.

Why You Might Need This Key

Most people order this key after losing the original or moving into a home where the previous owner didn't leave it. Some freezers develop frost buildup issues when kids play with the temperature controls — a working lock prevents that. The key also keeps the door from being accidentally opened, which helps maintain consistent freezer temperatures.

Installation Takes 30 Seconds

There's no installation here — just insert the key and turn. If your lock cylinder is stuck or damaged, you'll need to replace the entire lock assembly (different part). This key should turn smoothly in a working lock. Test it a few times to make sure it engages and disengages the lock mechanism properly.

Compatible Freezer Models

This key works across multiple brands because Frigidaire manufactured freezers for Kenmore, Gibson, and other labels. Below are the most common models, but there are additional compatible units not listed here.
