Relay, Overload, Capacitor

Freezer won't cool or makes clicking/humming sounds? This compressor start relay restores reliable motor startup. Simple DIY fix in under 30 minutes.

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.

This replacement screw fastens appliance panels and trim to restore secure fit and reduce rattling or movement. Use it when a missing or damaged screw is causing loose parts or noisy operation. What it does:

• Secures panels, trim, or internal components to maintain proper alignment and stability.
• Stops rattling or vibration caused by loose or missing hardware.
• Helps prevent gaps that can catch on clothing or obstruct doors/drawers.
• Small hardware solution for common fit and finish issues.

• Disconnect power and any water supply before starting work.
• Use the correct screwdriver or driver bit to avoid stripping the head.
• Keep track of small parts and work on a stable surface; magnetic trays help.

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

Motor won't start or makes humming noises? This refrigerator motor run capacitor restores normal startup and operation. Moderate DIY repair in 30-45 minutes.

A temperature-sensitive resistor located within the refrigerator system that helps regulate cooling functions and defrost cycles. Replace when the refrigerator runs constantly, fails to cool properly, or when defrost cycles malfunction.

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.

Compressor won't start or kicks out after trying? This overload protector prevents motor damage. DIY-friendly repair, takes about 30 minutes to replace.

Refrigerator making clicking sounds and not cooling? This overload relay kit fixes compressor start problems. Easy DIY repair—pull off old relay and install.
