This electronic control board serves as the appliance's controller, managing cooling functions, sensor inputs, and status indicators. Replacing a faulty controller can restore stable temperatures and reliable operation.

• Regulates cooling based on temperature-sensor feedback to maintain the set point
• Switches major loads (such as compressor and fan) on and off as designed
• 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

• 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

This electronic control board manages the appliance's user interface and core control functions, restoring reliable operation when the original board fails. It replaces a damaged or unresponsive control module to help regain normal appliance control. What it does:

• Sends and receives signals to operate timers, relays, and display functions.
• Controls user inputs and on/off sequencing for the appliance's systems.
• Common symptoms of a failing board: unresponsive controls, blank or erratic display, cycles not starting or stopping, or intermittent operation.
• Use this board to replace units exhibiting control or display faults that other components have not resolved.

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before starting any repair.
• Handle the board by the edges and avoid touching components; use an ESD strap if available.
• Verify wiring harness connections and fuses before and after installation.

This relay assembly helps start the refrigerator compressor so the cooling system can run reliably. It replaces a worn or failed start relay to restore normal compressor startup and reduce hard-start symptoms. What it does:

• Provides the initial start pulse to the compressor motor so the refrigeration cycle can begin
• Stops excessive current draw during startup to protect the compressor
• Commonly used when the compressor hums, won't start, or cycles on and off rapidly
• Helps eliminate starter-related clicking or failure-to-start issues

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing the relay
• Handle electrical connectors carefully; ensure secure, correct reattachment
• Verify match to the existing relay and mounting before installation

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

• 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

This Temperature Controller regulates cooling by switching power to the compressor and related circuits to hold the set temperature. Replacing a failing controller restores accurate temperature control and reliable operation. What it does:

• Cycles cooling components to maintain the temperature you set
• Helps keep cabinet temperatures consistent for proper food storage
• Coordinates on/off operation to prevent overcooling or warm conditions
• Common failure symptoms: too warm or too cold, runs constantly or won't start, control/dial unresponsive

• 1 temperature controller

• Disconnect power before servicing—this is a line-voltage control
• Access the control area, label or photograph wire positions, and move wires one at a time to the new controller
• Reuse existing mounting hardware and any knob/overlay as applicable
• After install, set to mid setting and allow up to 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize

This electronic controller is the central board that governs your unit's cooling system. It processes temperature inputs and controls key components so the freezer maintains set temperature when the original board fails.

• Regulates temperature by processing sensor/thermostat inputs and issuing commands to cooling components
• 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

• 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

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

• One compressor overload (single piece as shown)

• 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.

This compressor start relay helps the refrigerator compressor start and run more reliably, restoring proper cooling performance and preventing frequent hard starts. Fits compatible Frigidaire-style compressors and connects at the compressor terminal block. What it does:

• Provides the initial boost to spin the compressor motor during startup
• Helps prevent the compressor from stalling or failing to start
• Can reduce clicking, humming, or a fridge that runs but does not cool
• Works with the compressor's start circuit to engage the motor quickly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing the relay
• Access the relay at the compressor (usually mounted on the compressor body); note terminal positions before removal
• Replace only with the exact relay specified by the manufacturer; secure all connections and wiring

This electronic control board is the refrigerator's main circuit board that manages temperature, defrost and user controls—restoring responsive control functions and resolving erratic or non-working control behavior. What it does:

• Controls compressor, fans and defrost cycles by sending signals based on sensor inputs
• Manages user interface commands and display response
• Can stop fridge cooling or cause incorrect temperatures when failing
• May cause intermittent operation, no display response, or failure to complete defrost cycles

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any work to avoid electrical shock
• Handle the board by its edges and avoid touching components or connector pins
• Verify connector orientation and seating; replace exactly like-for-like to ensure compatibility

This electrical relay assembly controls power to a major appliance circuit, restoring reliable switching and helping appliances start and run properly. Replace a failed relay to stop intermittent starts, no-start conditions, or unreliable operation. What it does

• Switches electrical power to motors or heating circuits when the appliance control signals for operation
• Commonly fails after arcing or overheating, causing intermittent or no-start symptoms
• May cause a unit to click repeatedly, run intermittently, or fail to power specific functions
• Restores correct electrical switching when installed in place of a damaged relay

• Disconnect power before accessing control panels or wiring to avoid shock
• Access and removal typically require removing the control panel or top panel; keep track of screws and wire locations
• Replace with the exact part number and reconnect all terminals securely; do not bend or damage connector pins
