Frigidaire Capacitor (Compressor)
Genuine Frigidaire part
By: Frigidaire
Part Number: 297286812

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
What's included: 1 capacitor Install notes:
  • 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

Do-It-Yourself Stories from Customers like You Three year old Frigidaire upright freezer quit running.   Kenneth B. • Crossville , TN • April 03, 2021

My barely three year old Frigidaire upright freezer quit running and we discovered it when most of the contents were just starting to thaw. Luckily we have nearby neighbors that my wife walks with most days and two or three of them came to our rescue with available freezer space to save the more valuable things like meat and seafood. The compressor would not come on, no fan, no noises of any kind but the light came on when the door was opened so obviously it had power. I unplugged it for a... Read more

Frigidaire Compressor Start Relay
Genuine Frigidaire part
By: Frigidaire
Part Number: 216594300

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.

Frigidaire Overload (Compressor Protector)
Genuine Frigidaire part
By: Frigidaire
Part Number: 5303270406

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
What's included:
  • One compressor overload (single piece as shown)
Install notes:
  • 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.
