Frigidaire Refrigerator Relay, Overload, Capacitor

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

This is a start relay device that attaches to the compressor and provides the initial electrical boost needed to start the compressor motor. It works in conjunction with the run capacitor to get the compressor running and then disengages once the motor reaches operating speed. Replace this device if the refrigerator is not cooling, the compressor clicks on and off repeatedly, or you hear a buzzing sound coming from the back of the unit.

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.

Refrigerator won't cool or compressor won't start? This compressor start relay energizes the start winding to restore cooling. DIY-friendly 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 refrigerator that won't cool or compressor runs briefly then stops. This PTC starter relay provides timed boost to start winding for reliable cooling.

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.

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.

This is a compressor start relay that helps the compressor motor start up by providing an initial boost of electrical current. It works alongside an overload protector to prevent the compressor from overheating. Replace this part if the refrigerator is not cooling, the compressor clicks on and off repeatedly without running, or you hear a buzzing sound coming from the back of the unit.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Fix a refrigerator that won't cool or start. This compressor start relay helps your compressor run reliably and prevents clicking sounds. Easy DIY repair.
