Room Air Conditioner Parts

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 protector heater is a small heating element used with the overload/thermal protector in the motor or compressor circuit. It provides calibrated warmth so the protector trips correctly under heavy load, helping prevent overheating and protecting the unit. What it does:

• Works with the overload/thermal protector to ensure proper trip timing
• Helps prevent overheating and potential damage to the motor/compressor
• Common signs include repeated clicking near the compressor area or frequent overload trips

• 1 protector heater

• Disconnect power and safely discharge the run capacitor before servicing
• Photograph or label wiring and component orientation for accurate reassembly
• Install in the same position/orientation as the original with secure, insulated connections and proper wire routing
• Inspect the overload, start device, and terminals; replace any burnt or loose connectors to prevent repeat failures

This thermostat is the temperature control for room air conditioners. It senses temperature and cycles the compressor to maintain your set comfort level, helping restore consistent cooling when the original control becomes inaccurate or fails. What it does:

• Monitors temperature and opens/closes contacts to start and stop the compressor
• Helps the unit reach and maintain the temperature you select
• Helps resolve symptoms such as: AC won't turn on/off at the dial setting, runs continuously, short-cycles, or temperature adjustments have little effect
• Direct-fit replacement designed for the original mounting location

• 1 thermostat

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid electrical shock
• Access the control panel; note wire locations and transfer any mounting hardware from the old part
• If your model uses a capillary sensing tube, route it exactly as original and secure in clips; do not kink or sharply bend it
• Reassemble, align the control knob, and test operation across several temperature settings

This protector heater provides a small, controlled heat source inside the appliance to keep sensitive components within range. It helps prevent condensation and nuisance trips so the unit operates reliably in cool or humid conditions.

• Provides low-watt heat around a protected area or thermostat
• Helps prevent moisture buildup and condensation

• Discharge the capacitor before touching terminals to avoid shock
• Verify wiring and terminal orientation before reconnecting

Replacement control knob assembly that restores safe, reliable selection of settings on your appliance. Replaces a cracked, loose, or missing knob so you can change cycles or temperatures with a secure, tactile grip. What it does:

• Replaces a damaged or worn control knob so controls turn and index correctly.
• Restores a solid fit on the control shaft to stop spinning, wobbling, or slipping.
• Helps resolve symptoms like a cracked or broken knob, missing knob, or difficulty selecting settings.
• Maintains visible markings and a tactile feel for accurate selection of cycles or temperatures.

• Disconnect power (unplug or switch off at breaker) before servicing the appliance.
• Knob typically pulls straight off the control shaft; some models may require removing a retaining clip or control panel.
• Use basic hand tools as needed; avoid forcing a tight fit and check shaft/console for damage before installing.
• If the new knob does not seat correctly, check shaft type and orientation match the replacement.

This sealing plug caps an access hole or opening to prevent leaks, debris entry, or airflow in the appliance. It restores a finished seal and helps keep internal components protected from moisture and dirt. What it does:

• Covers and seals an unused service or access opening to prevent water and dirt intrusion
