Description
The Run Capacitor is an OEM part for Frigidaire freezers. It is an electrical part that assists the compressor motor in starting up and running efficiently.

Symptoms of a bad run capacitor include:
- Compressor failing to turn on or start consistently
- Buzzing or humming noises coming from inside the unit
- The freezer struggling to maintain proper temperatures
- Repeated tripping of the circuit breaker
