Frigidaire Refrigerator Relay, Overload, Capacitor

This controller is the appliance's electronic control board. It monitors sensors and manages cooling system operations so temperatures stay stable. Replacing a failed board can restore consistent cooling performance and responsive controls.

• Manages compressor and fan run times to maintain the set temperature; failures can cause warm temps, overcooling, or short cycling
• Coordinates automatic defrost on applicable models; faults may lead to frost buildup and restricted airflow
• Processes input from temperature sensors and user settings; issues can make controls unresponsive or erratic
• Drives status lights/alarms on applicable models; malfunctions may trigger false alarms or no indications

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Use ESD protection; handle the board by the edges to avoid component damage
• Photograph wiring and move connectors one at a time to the new board to ensure correct placement
• Reuse original mounting hardware and ensure all connections are fully seated before restoring power

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

Refrigerator won't cool or compressor clicks but won't start? This PTC start relay powers the compressor's start winding. Common DIY fix, restores cooling.

Compressor won't start or refrigerator not cooling? This relay and overload kit restores compressor function. DIY-friendly, most installs under 15 minutes.

Refrigerator won't cool or compressor won't start? This compressor start relay energizes the start winding to restore cooling. DIY-friendly repair.

Fixes refrigerator not cooling or compressor not starting. This starter relay energizes the compressor start winding for reliable operation. DIY repair.

This run capacitor helps the refrigerator compressor start and run smoothly, restoring normal operation when a weak or failed capacitor causes the compressor to struggle. Replacing a faulty capacitor can reduce humming and improve cooling performance. What it does:

• Provides continuous phase-shift to the compressor motor for stable running.
• Helps maintain proper compressor speed and efficiency during operation.
• Commonly replaced when the compressor hums, won't stay running, or cooling is inconsistent.
• Reduces risk of repeated motor cycling caused by a weak or open capacitor.

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before accessing electrical components.
• Discharge the capacitor before handling; capacitors can hold a charge even when powered off.
• Observe terminal orientation and mounting location; replace with the same type and ratings.

Fix a clicking compressor or refrigerator that won't cool. This start relay and overload assembly restores compressor startup. DIY repair in 10-15 minutes.

Freezer won't cool or compressor won't start? This compressor start relay restores reliable startup and cooling. Located in the compressor compartment.

Freezer won't cool or makes clicking/humming sounds? This compressor start relay restores reliable motor startup. Simple DIY fix in under 30 minutes.

Fix a refrigerator that won't cool or compressor runs briefly then stops. This PTC starter relay provides timed boost to start winding for reliable cooling.

This replacement screw fastens appliance panels and trim to restore secure fit and reduce rattling or movement. Use it when a missing or damaged screw is causing loose parts or noisy operation. What it does:

• Secures panels, trim, or internal components to maintain proper alignment and stability.
• Stops rattling or vibration caused by loose or missing hardware.
• Helps prevent gaps that can catch on clothing or obstruct doors/drawers.
• Small hardware solution for common fit and finish issues.

• Disconnect power and any water supply before starting work.
• Use the correct screwdriver or driver bit to avoid stripping the head.
• Keep track of small parts and work on a stable surface; magnetic trays help.

Refrigerator clicking but not cooling? A faulty compressor start relay prevents startup. This part restores reliable compressor operation. DIY repair.

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

Refrigerator clicking but not cooling? A failed compressor starter prevents reliable startup. This part restores proper cooling by helping the compressor start.

Fix a refrigerator that clicks but won't start or cycles on and off repeatedly. This compressor start relay powers the start winding for reliable cooling.
