Amazon has a very purchaser-friendly return policy. Many times you won't have to pay return shipping. If you suspect a defect or any faults it would be wise to return the item rather that void the warranty by trying to repair an unknown problem. If you do order another replacement I've learned that it is usually best to purchase an Original Equipment Manufacturers part (if it's a Frigidaire stay with Frigidaire parts). Parts are usually a bit more expensive, but they tend to last longer than generic or "OEM-like" replacements.
