Description

This compressor start relay helps the refrigerator compressor start reliably, restoring proper cooling performance when the compressor fails to start. Designed to replace the factory start device on compatible Frigidaire compressors. What it does

• Provides the initial boost/current path to spin the compressor motor during startup
• Commonly replaced when the compressor hums but will not start or cooling is intermittent
• Helps prevent repeated hard starts that can overload the compressor
• Works with the compressor's overload to enable normal run operation once started

What's included

• One compressor start relay

Install notes

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electric shock
• Access compressor terminals at the rear base or service panel per your model's service instructions
• Remove and replace only the relay (verify terminals match and clip securely); do not attempt repairs on the sealed compressor
• If compressor still won't start after replacing the relay, further diagnosis of the compressor, overload, or controls is recommended
