- Directs compressor and fan operation to maintain the setpoint
- On applicable models, manages defrost timing and cycles
- Common failure symptoms include no cooling or intermittent cooling, unit won't start, runs constantly, unresponsive controls, or erratic temperatures
What's included: 1 electronic control board Installation notes:
- Disconnect power before service; observe ESD precautions and handle the board by its edges
- Photograph/label wire connections; transfer any mounting clips/brackets from the original board
- Seat all connectors fully without forcing; avoid touching component pins
- Restore power and allow time for temperatures to stabilize; verify normal operation

Fairly certain multiple brown outs burn the part out Mark M. • Franklin Furnace , OH • November 16, 2019
When the part arrived finally, 10 minute's later the refrigerator was working. Note: FedEx was not the fastest way, the part set days at their facility before moving to another. Finally, it was transferred to USPS and delivery was made by my postman.

Genuine Frigidaire part
By: Frigidaire
Part Number: 297286812
This capacitor stores and releases electrical energy to help the refrigerator's compressor start and run smoothly. Replacing a weak or failed capacitor can restore reliable compressor startup and more consistent cooling performance.
- Provides the electrical boost/phase shift needed for compressor motor startup and steady operation
- Works with the start device to deliver proper current to the compressor
- Failure symptoms can include clicking or humming near the compressor, poor cooling, or short cycling
- May cause the compressor not to start after power interruptions when weak or failed
What's included: 1 capacitor Install notes:
- Disconnect power before servicing any electrical component
- Safely discharge the capacitor before handling; avoid touching terminals
- Note wire positions and terminal markings; transfer leads one at a time to the matching terminals
- Secure the capacitor in its mounting/bracket to prevent vibration damage

Three year old Frigidaire upright freezer quit running. Kenneth B. • Crossville , TN • April 03, 2021
My barely three year old Frigidaire upright freezer quit running and we discovered it when most of the contents were just starting to thaw. Luckily we have nearby neighbors that my wife walks with most days and two or three of them came to our rescue with available freezer space to save the more valuable things like meat and seafood. The compressor would not come on, no fan, no noises of any kind but the light came on when the door was opened so obviously it had power. I unplugged it for a...

- Interfaces with user controls and any status lights/alarms, when equipped
- Common failure symptoms: no cooling or overcooling, constant running, erratic cycling, or unresponsive/intermittent controls or indicators
Install notes:
- Disconnect power before servicing; electrical shock risk
- Handle the board by the edges and use ESD protection to prevent static damage
- Note/photograph all wire connectors before removal; transfer any mounting brackets or covers from the original part
- After reassembly, restore power and allow temperature to stabilize before final evaluation

Part Number: 4318083
Start relay for refrigerator compressors that helps the compressor begin running at power-up. Replacing a failed relay can restore normal starting behavior and resolve common startup symptoms. What it does
- Provides the initial start current path to the compressor during startup.
- Allows the compressor to reach running speed, then drops out once the motor is running.
- Common symptoms a bad relay may cause: compressor clicking, humming without starting, intermittent cooling or frequent cycling.
- Installed as the electrical component used only on compatible compressor assemblies.
What's included Includes one start relay. Install notes
- Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical shock.
- Access the relay at the compressor; remove and replace the relay only after confirming diagnostics.
- Dispose of the old electrical part per local regulations.

Part Number: 5303270406
This compressor overload is a thermal/protective device that helps prevent compressor damage by cutting power when the motor overheats or draws excessive current. It restores normal operation once conditions return to safe levels. What it does:
- Protects the refrigerator compressor from overheating and electrical overloads
- Works with the compressor start relay to help the motor start and run properly
- Common symptom linkage: replaces a failed overload when the compressor hums but won't start
- Stops compressor cycling or prevents repeated trips that cause cooling loss
What's included:
- One compressor overload (single piece as shown)
Install notes:
- Disconnect all power before replacing to avoid shock or injury
- Handle terminals carefully and reconnect matching terminal positions
- Replace only with the same part number or equivalent
- If compressor still won't start after replacing the overload, check the start relay and compressor condition.
