Frigidaire Room Air Conditioner Switch

Air conditioner won't turn on or respond to controls? This control switch restores power functions. Common repair for unresponsive AC units.

This overload protector helps prevent compressor overheating by interrupting power when the motor draws excessive current. It's a small, replaceable safety device that helps restore reliable compressor start behavior when failed. What it does:

• Protects the compressor motor from thermal overload and excessive current draw
• Stops the compressor from running if it overheats or is at risk of damage
• Commonly used when a fridge won't start, the compressor hums but won't run, or the compressor cycles erratically
• Works as part of the compressor start/protection assembly alongside relays and the compressor

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing the overload protector
• Verify terminals and orientation match the original part; replace only with the same style part number
• Handle and install carefully to avoid bending terminals or damaging the compressor connection
