Description

The Compressor Controller is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. Located on the compressor housing, this start device functions to gradually apply power to the compressor's start winding during power-up or a defrost cycle. This helps reduce energy usage and lessens the initial workload and strain on the compressor.

Causes can be failure over time from heat and electrical stress, or water damage. 

Symptoms of a bad compressor start device include:

• The compressor failing to start or engage for cooling cycles
• Audible humming noises but no cooling air being produced
• Higher electric bills from inefficient restarting of the compressor

This OEM Frigidaire part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator and some Kenmore models.
