Parts for Frigidaire CFS16MW3: 04 - Compressor, Electrical Controls Parts

This cold control kit replaces the mechanical temperature control thermostat that regulates your refrigerator or freezer's cooling. Restore proper temperature regulation and consistent cycling when the original control sticks, drifts out of calibration, or fails intermittently.

• Senses compartment temperature with a capillary bulb and opens/closes contacts to maintain the set temperature
• Cycles the cooling system on and off for steady, reliable performance
• Common symptoms: too warm or over-cooling/freezing items, unit won't start unless the dial is moved, runs constantly, erratic temperature swings, unresponsive temperature dial
• Helps correct intermittent cooling caused by worn or pitted thermostat contacts

• Disconnect power before servicing; work in a dry area
• Access the control housing, note wire locations, and transfer wires to the new control one at a time
• Route and secure the sensing bulb/capillary exactly as original; do not kink or sharply bend it
• Set to a mid-range setting after installation and allow up to 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize

This is a compressor used in several types of home appliances. The compressor is designed to take cold gas in the appliance and place it under pressure so the gas raises in temperature. It is then moved through the refrigerator system to ensure the unit stays cold throughout the appliance. This part can become damaged or malfunction, which may cause the motor to stop running, make the motor noisier, or cause the motor to never stop running.If this happens, the compressor will need to be replaced. A basic set of tools will be needed. A pair of work gloves can also be useful. First, locate the compressor as it may be in various locations depending on the appliance model. Unplug the appliance before removing the compressor. Install the new compressor using the original bolts and nuts before turning the power back on and resuming normal use.This part is sold on an individual basis. The compressor is made to be used with refrigerators, ranges, stoves, ovens, air conditioners, and freezers created by Gibson, Frigidaire, Kelvinator, Montgomery Wards, Westinghouse, Tappan, JCPenney, Universal, and Kenmore. It is an authentic OEM replacement part directly sourced from the manufacturer.

This compressor grommet is a rubber mounting isolator that cushions and secures the compressor to the appliance chassis, helping reduce vibration and noise while preventing metal-to-metal contact and premature wear. What it does:

• Cushions compressor movement to reduce vibration transmitted to the cabinet
• Dampens noise and rattling caused by compressor operation
• Prevents direct metal-to-metal contact that can wear mounting points
• Helps keep the compressor positioned and secured under load

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing the compressor or base pan
• Replace grommets while supporting the compressor to avoid strain on lines and connections
• Inspect remaining mounting grommets; replace all worn isolators for best performance

Includes service line.
