The Compressor Start Device is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. This component is crucial for initiating the operation of the compressor, which is essential for the cooling cycle of the refrigerator. The start device provides the necessary power boost to get the compressor running.
Causes of a bad start device can include electrical failures, wear and tear, or power surges. A malfunctioning start device can prevent the compressor from starting, affecting the refrigerator's ability to maintain the desired temperature.
Symptoms of a bad compressor start device include:
- The refrigerator not cooling properly or not cooling at all
- The compressor not running or starting intermittently
- Clicking noises coming from the compressor area
- The refrigerator frequently cycling on and off
This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.
