• Overheating of the compressor

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

Includes service line.

This compressor start device briefly energizes the compressor's start winding to get it running, then disengages automatically. Replacing a weak or open PTC can restore cooling and stop the repeating hum-click from the compressor area.

• Provides the initial boost for the compressor to start, then opens as the PTC warms
• Helps the compressor start reliably on each cooling cycle
• Works with the compressor's overload protector to safeguard the motor circuit
• Common symptoms of failure: not cooling, compressor won't start, rapid clicking or hum-click every few minutes, intermittent cooling after power cycling

• Disconnect power and pull the unit forward to access the compressor compartment
• Remove the start-device cover; note wire positions
• Pull the old start device straight off the compressor terminals; avoid bending the pins
• Align the new device with the C–S–R terminals in the same orientation, push on fully, reconnect wires, reinstall cover, and restore power
• Inspect the mating overload protector and terminal connectors for heat damage before reassembly

The Start Device is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It is responsible for initiating the electrical power to the compressor, enabling it to start functioning.

Causes tend to relate to standard wear over time. Moisture exposure can also impact durability.
