For Frigidaire Compressor Start Kit (Part Number: OEM17209152)

Hi John. Look at the relay with a magnifying glass if needed. You need to insert the red wire to the L-1 connection. You insert the white wire to the -n- terminal . If the wire connector is a different size in the relay you need to use the jumper wire to allow you to insert it into the new relay. Part # 5304491941. Thank You.

Hi George. There is a "block" type of capacitor that has two terminals and simply pulls out of the top of the old relay. If you did not get one in the new kit, then you need to use the origional one. There is a red wire that goes to the L- terminal marked on the relay. The blue or white wire is connected to the N-terminal on the relay. You will need to use a pick tool to release the "locks" on the terminal lead connectors, they are challanging to get out. Good Luck. Thank you.

Hello Rick. If the old connector on the refrigerator does not work, you will need to rewire the new plug to fit the relay. Hope this helps.

David for Model Number FRS26KF6CB2

Our fridge has been making a buzzing noise when it kicks on - it lasts for several seconds then goes away. The fridge has been operating properly otherwise... until today. My wife came and got me when she found water on the floor in front of the freezer side, then opened it and found the ice cubes and most of the food in a state of defrost. I pulled it out and removed the lower panel to see if I could see anything - and couldn't see much because it was covered in dust/dirt. I unplugged it and took time to clean it out - fan, compressor, coils...all nice and clean now. When I plugged it back in, the buzzing immediately started - coming from the compressor area (left side?) - but the fan was running fine, lights inside were on - fans inside were blowing, etc. Compressor was hot to the touch. It clicked and stopped buzzing at the same time after several seconds. A minute or so later, it repeated this process. So I don't know if it's starting or getting hot then kicking off or what. I'm hoping it's the starter relay - and hoping someone with more experience can give me some pointers. Thanks in advance!
