Frigidaire Relay, Overload, Capacitor

This controller kit replaces the appliance's electronic control board, restoring proper power-up, keypad/display response, and reliable operation of controlled functions. Use it to address unresponsive controls or erratic behavior caused by a failed control board. What it does:

• Manages operation of key components based on sensor inputs and user settings
• Processes keypad/remote commands and powers display, mode, and timer circuits
• 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

This kit includes the electrical components needed to start your refrigerator's compressor motor, including both the start relay and overload protector. These parts work together to provide the initial electrical boost needed to start the compressor and protect it from electrical overload. Replace this kit if your refrigerator isn't cooling, makes clicking noises, or if the compressor won't start.

This controller kit is the appliance's main electronic control. It reads inputs from the user interface and sensors to power and coordinate key components. Replacing a failed controller restores responsive controls and consistent, reliable operation.

• Interprets commands from the keypad and sensors to manage operation
• Controls relays powering motors, fans, compressor, or valves as designed
• 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

Refrigerator not cooling but running? This compressor start relay and overload kit fixes weak or failed start components. DIY repair in 20 minutes.

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

This electronic controller is the central board that governs your unit's cooling system. It processes temperature inputs and controls key components so the freezer maintains set temperature when the original board fails.

• Regulates temperature by processing sensor/thermostat inputs and issuing commands to cooling components
• Directs compressor and fan operation to maintain the setpoint
• On applicable models, manages defrost timing and cycles
• Common failure symptoms include no cooling or intermittent cooling, unit won't start, runs constantly, unresponsive controls, or erratic temperatures

• Disconnect power before service; observe ESD precautions and handle the board by its edges
• Photograph/label wire connections; transfer any mounting clips/brackets from the original board
• Seat all connectors fully without forcing; avoid touching component pins
• Restore power and allow time for temperatures to stabilize; verify normal operation

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 is a start relay device that helps the compressor motor start up and run properly in your refrigerator or freezer. It provides the initial electrical boost the compressor needs to begin its cooling cycle. Replace this part if your unit is not cooling, the compressor clicks on and off repeatedly, or you hear a buzzing sound coming from the back of the appliance.

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.
