Kenmore / Sears Relay, Overload, Capacitor

Fix a refrigerator that hums and shuts down or won't start with this compressor overload protector. Simple DIY repair that restores safe operation.

Fix a refrigerator that won't cool or start. This compressor start relay helps your compressor run reliably and prevents clicking sounds. Easy DIY repair.

Freezer won't cool or compressor won't start? This compressor start relay restores reliable startup and cooling. Located in the compressor compartment.

Refrigerator not cooling or compressor not running? This relay overload protector prevents compressor damage by cutting power during overload conditions.

Refrigerator clicking but not cooling? A faulty compressor start relay prevents startup. This part restores reliable compressor operation. DIY repair.

Refrigerator won't cool or compressor won't start? This overload protector prevents compressor damage from electrical surges. Simple 15-minute fix.

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

Compressor clicks on and off or won't start? This PTC start relay energizes the compressor start winding to restore consistent cooling. DIY-friendly repair.

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.

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
