Frigidaire Relay, Overload, Capacitor

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

This controller is the appliance's electronic control board. It manages key cooling functions and restores normal operation when the original board fails, helping the unit maintain stable performance and temperature. What it does

• Directs power to compressor and fan motors to regulate cooling cycles
• Interprets inputs from sensors/controls to maintain target temperature
• Coordinates system operations for consistent performance
• Common failure symptoms include no cooling, intermittent cooling, constant running, or unresponsive controls

• 1 controller

• Disconnect power before servicing; observe ESD precautions when handling the board
• Photograph wiring and note connector orientation before removal
• Mount the new board securely and reconnect all harnesses fully seated
• Restore power and monitor operation; allow time for temperatures to stabilize

The Starter is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire refrigerators. This component is crucial for initiating the compressor, which is responsible for cooling the refrigerator. The starter works by providing the necessary electrical power to get the compressor running, ensuring that the refrigerator maintains the correct temperature.

Causes of a bad starter can include electrical malfunctions, wear and tear over time, or damage from power surges. A faulty starter can prevent the compressor from starting, leading to cooling issues.

Symptoms of a bad Starter include:

• The refrigerator not cooling properly
• The compressor not running or frequently cycling on and off
• Unusual clicking or buzzing noises from the compressor area
• The refrigerator being warmer than usual or food spoiling quickly

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

Fix a refrigerator that won't cool or clicks but won't start. This compressor start relay and overload protects against overheating. DIY repair in 30 minutes.

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

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

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

This electronic control board serves as the appliance's controller, managing cooling functions, sensor inputs, and status indicators. Replacing a faulty controller can restore stable temperatures and reliable operation.

• Regulates cooling based on temperature-sensor feedback to maintain the set point
• Switches major loads (such as compressor and fan) on and off as designed
• Interfaces with user controls and any status lights/alarms, when equipped
• Common failure symptoms: no cooling or overcooling, constant running, erratic cycling, or unresponsive/intermittent controls or indicators

• Disconnect power before servicing; electrical shock risk
• Handle the board by the edges and use ESD protection to prevent static damage
• Note/photograph all wire connectors before removal; transfer any mounting brackets or covers from the original part
• After reassembly, restore power and allow temperature to stabilize before final evaluation

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.
