The Capacitor is an OEM replacement part for  LG refrigerators. It is an electronic component located next to the refrigerator compressor that stores electric charge between cycles of the power supply circuit. The capacitor plays an important role in providing stable starting power to the compressor motor.

Causes of a bad capacitor next to the compressor can include heat distress over thousands of start/stop cycles of the refrigerator.

Symptoms of a bad capacitor include:

  • The compressor makes loud buzzing or grinding noises during the operation
  • The compressor fails to start or cycles on and off frequently
  • Temperature fluctuations inside the refrigerator
  • Error codes related to compressor issues

This genuine LG replacement is compatible also with Kenmore Elite model refrigerators

Questions & Answers

For Lg Start Capacitor (Part Number: OEM13774323)

1 Answer

Kamaka, There could be several things that could be wrong with the unit not cooling. The first thing that you will want to check if it is just the refrigerator section that is not cooling would be look for a defrost issue. Check the coils in the freezer compartment and make sure that the coils are not clogged with ice. If they are then the issue would be either with the defrost heater, defrost controller or the control board.

Pat for Model Number 795.75546400

I've been working on this Kenmore fridge and am a little stumped. The compressor short-cycles about 8 seconds every 3-4 minutes. Because the compressor actually starts, I ruled out a bad PTC assembly (but maybe I should not have). Thinking that the overload protector was bad, I replaced that. Still have the same issue. I know that some refrigerators use a start relay (PTC) and a run capacitor but I don't see the run cap listed as such for this model. I have looked at part number AP4591438 but I'm not certain that it's for the compressor - the exploded parts drawing is not clear but it does not appear to be in the area of the compressor. Thinking maybe it's for the evap fan but would that fan need a cap? Bottom line is that I need to find out why this is not running properly.

Pat, The compressor running for short periods could be caused by a bad capacitor which the capacitor is part number 0CZZJB2014L. The relay could also be causing the issue as well.

Tony, The first thing that you will want to check is to make sure that the wire harness at the top of the door does not have a broken or loose connection. If this checks ok then the most likely cause of the unit not having a display would be the dispenser board, but you will want to test for power to the board to make sure.

Hello Francis. If you let the unit cool down and it starts again, you will need to replace the motor in the unit.

James, You will want to check to make sure that the evaporator coils in the freezer are not impacted with ice. If they are impacted then you will need to check the defrost thermistor and heater. If they both check ok then you will need a new control board.
