Frigidaire Microwave Capacitor

Compressor start capacitor that helps the refrigerator compressor start reliably so the appliance can maintain proper cooling. Replace a weak or failed capacitor to reduce hard-starting, excessive humming, or loss of cooling. What it does:

• Provides the starting boost the compressor needs to reach running speed.
• Commonly linked to symptoms like compressor humming but not starting, warm refrigerator, or frequent on/off cycling.
• Works with the compressor start circuit; a failed capacitor can prevent the compressor from starting.
• Visible damage, leakage, or failed electrical tests indicate replacement is needed.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing the capacitor.
• Discharge the capacitor before touching terminals to avoid shock.
• Note wire locations or photograph connections before removal; reconnect wires exactly.

This motor start/run capacitor helps the compressor and fan motors start and run reliably, restoring normal cooling performance when a failing capacitor causes hard starts or intermittent motor operation. A direct-replacement component for affected units. What it does:

• Provides the electrical phase shift and stored energy needed for compressor and fan motor startup.
• Helps prevent slow starts, humming, or motors that won't start reliably.
• Restores stable motor operation and can reduce overheating or tripping caused by a weak capacitor.
• Works as a replacement for the same OEM-design capacitor in compatible refrigerators and freezers.

• One replacement capacitor (single unit)

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing the capacitor to avoid shock.
• Verify capacitor is fully discharged before handling; use insulated tools and follow safety procedures.
• Match the capacitor's mounting and terminal type to the existing part for correct fit and connection.

This motor capacitor helps start and run appliance electric motors by providing the brief boost of power the motor needs to reach operating speed. Replaces a failed capacitor to restore normal motor starting and performance. What it does:

• Provides the electrical phase shift and momentary voltage boost motors need to start and run
• Commonly replaced when a motor hums, will not start, or runs weakly
• Helps stabilize motor operation and reduce hard starting stresses
• Resolves intermittent or failed motor startup symptoms when capacitor is the root cause

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing or replacing the capacitor
• Discharge stored voltage in the capacitor before handling to avoid shock
• Verify terminal connections and orientation match the original before installation

This capacitor helps the refrigerator compressor start and run smoothly, restoring reliable motor operation and improving cooling performance when the original capacitor fails. It's a direct-replacement electrical component used on compatible Frigidaire appliances. What it does:

• Supplies the brief electrical boost the compressor motor needs to start
• Supports continuous motor operation to maintain consistent cooling
• Commonly linked to symptoms such as the compressor struggling to start, loud humming, or reduced cooling
• Helps prevent hard starts that can lead to overheating or repeated cycle failures

• One capacitor

• Disconnect power to the appliance before service to avoid electric shock
• Capacitors can hold a charge—discharge safely before touching terminals
• Verify terminal connections match the original and secure all wiring after replacement

This high-voltage capacitor stores and releases electrical energy for the appliance's high-voltage circuit, restoring reliable power delivery where a failed capacitor prevents normal operation. It's a direct-fit replacement when the original capacitor is damaged. What it does:

• Provides the stored charge needed for the appliance's high-voltage circuit to operate correctly.
• Commonly fails by shorting or losing capacitance, causing the appliance to not start, not heat, or experience intermittent operation.
• A damaged capacitor can cause arcing, unusual noises, or a burning smell in the high-voltage area.
• Restores proper electrical timing and discharge required by the high-voltage system when replaced.

• One high-voltage capacitor

• Disconnect power before servicing and ensure the appliance is fully de-energized.
• High-voltage capacitors can retain dangerous charge; discharge the capacitor per OEM instructions before handling.
• Inspect surrounding wiring and components for heat or arcing damage and replace if needed.
