Description
The Compressor Start Relay is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It plays a key role in initiating the operation of the compressor during each cooling cycle. The relay functions as a switch to provide power from the control circuit to the compressor starting windings.
Symptoms of a bad compressor start relay include:
- The refrigerator not cooling or not cooling properly
- Unexpectedly long periods between compressor starts
- The compressor making humming or buzzing noises but not fully engaging
- Fluctuating interior temperatures
Causes of relay failure can be attributed to regular wear from thousands of compressor start/stop operations during the refrigerator’s lifespan. Moisture, dust, or other debris may also interfere with proper electrical switching functions over time.
This OEM Frigidaire replacement part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.
