• Coordinates temperature feedback to maintain selected settings
• Common failure symptoms include no display, unresponsive buttons, will not start, intermittent cycling, or error codes

• One controller kit

• Disconnect power before servicing; allow capacitors to discharge
• Use ESD precautions; handle the board by the edges only
• Access the control compartment; photograph wiring and move connectors one at a time to the new board
• Securely mount the board, restore power, and test all functions

Note: In some cases, you may also need adapter harness 297177300 to make the wiring connection.

This compressor start device kit helps your refrigerator or freezer's compressor start reliably each cooling cycle. Replacing a weak or failed start device can restore cooling performance and stop repetitive clicking or brief humming when the compressor tries to start.

• Powers the compressor's start winding to initiate start-up, then disengages
• Supports consistent compressor starts to maintain proper temperatures
• Common symptoms of failure: unit warm, compressor not running, rapid clicking from rear, humming then shuts off
• May accompany signs like heat damage or a burnt odor at the old device

• Unplug the appliance before servicing; allow components to cool
• Located on the side of the compressor behind the rear access panel
• Photograph wiring and compressor pin layout; transfer wires one at a time and seat the device fully on the pins
• If your unit uses a separate run capacitor, reconnect it exactly as originally wired

• Coordinates modes and cycle timing for proper performance
• Common symptoms: dead or blank display, unresponsive buttons, won't start, intermittent shutdowns, or error codes

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing
• Handle the board with ESD precautions; avoid touching connectors and components
• Photograph/label wire connections and transfer them one at a time to the new board
• After installation, verify any model-specific settings per the service documentation before testing

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

• 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 starter kit is the compressor start device used on select Frigidaire/Electrolux refrigeration products. It helps the compressor start reliably and protects it from overload, restoring consistent cooling when the original start components are weak, noisy, or failed.

• Provides the initial boost needed to start the sealed-system compressor
• Integrates overload protection to help prevent compressor overheating
• Common fix for clicking or humming at the compressor with no start

• Disconnect power before servicing; allow components to cool.
• Access the compressor compartment; note wire positions and orientation.
• Seat the new start device firmly on the compressor pins; transfer wires one at a time.
• If your model uses a run capacitor, discharge it and reconnect per the wiring diagram.

This starter is a small electrical device that helps the refrigerator or freezer compressor start reliably, restoring proper cooling when the compressor struggles to power up. Replace a failed starter to bring the compressor back to dependable operation. What it does:

• Supplies the initial start current to the compressor so it can spin up and begin the refrigeration cycle.
• Common symptoms of a failing starter: refrigerator or freezer not cooling, compressor hums or vibrates but won't run, repeated clicking noises at the back, or intermittent cooling.
• Works with the appliance's existing compressor wiring and start circuit to restore normal starting performance when compatible.

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before attempting any repair.
• The starter typically mounts on or near the compressor and may require pulling the appliance away from the wall and removing the rear access panel.
• Handle terminals and wiring carefully; match connectors and orientation to the original part.

This PTC compressor start relay briefly powers the compressor's start winding to get the motor turning, then drops out as it warms. Replacing a weak relay can restore consistent compressor starts and stabilize refrigerator and freezer temperatures.

• Momentarily energizes the compressor's start winding; disengages automatically as the PTC element heats
• Helps protect the compressor by removing the start winding after startup
• Symptoms of failure can include compressor clicking but not running
• Intermittent cooling or warming temperatures between cycles
• Heat discoloration or a burnt odor around the start device

• Disconnect power and remove the rear lower access panel
• Note wire locations; remove the start device cover/retainer and pull the old relay straight off the compressor pins
• Inspect compressor pins; firmly seat the new relay and reconnect wiring
• Reinstall covers/panels, restore power, and verify normal compressor start

This starter is the compressor's start device. It energizes the start winding so the compressor can begin running, helping restore reliable cooling performance. What it does and common signs it's bad:

• Supplies initial current to the compressor's start winding; disengages once the motor is running
• Symptoms can include a warm refrigerator/freezer, compressor not starting, clicking or humming every few minutes
• Can show heat damage or rattling when shaken after failure

• One compressor starter

• Disconnect power before servicing and pull the unit forward for rear access
• Remove the compressor cover; note wire positions and device orientation
• Firmly seat the new starter on the compressor terminals and reconnect the harness; reinstall the cover
• Restore power and observe compressor start-up; use cut-resistant gloves and follow the product's service information

This compressor start relay (PTC) briefly powers the compressor's start winding to ensure reliable start-up. Replacing a failed relay can stop repeated clicking and help a non-starting compressor restore normal refrigerator cooling.

• Provides a timed, resistance-based boost to the compressor's start winding, then drops out of the circuit
• Common symptoms: compressor hums then clicks off, frequent clicking from the rear, warm fridge/freezer, intermittent cooling
• Mounts directly on the compressor terminals; works with the separate overload protector and, if equipped, a run capacitor
• Visible signs of failure may include heat damage, burnt odor, or loose/rattling pieces inside the old relay

• Unplug the refrigerator and remove the lower rear access panel to reach the compressor
• Note wire routing and orientation; transfer any harness/retainer and seat the relay fully on the compressor pins
• If a run capacitor is present, discharge it before handling and reconnect to the same terminals
• Inspect the overload and connectors; replace any heat-damaged components

Includes relay, overload and cover.

• 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.
