Parts for Comfort-Aire RAD-101A: Room A / C Parts

This capacitor helps the appliance motor start and run smoothly by storing and releasing electrical energy as needed. Replacing a failing capacitor restores proper motor performance and can stop intermittent operation. What it does:

• Provides the electrical phase shift needed for the motor to start and maintain rotation
• Commonly linked to symptoms such as humming, motor not starting, intermittent spin, or reduced performance
• Supports stable motor operation under load to prevent stalling
• Works as a direct-fit electrical component when matching the correct part number

• One capacitor

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock
• Discharge the capacitor before handling; use insulated tools and follow safety procedures
• Inspect wiring and connectors for damage and replace any faulty harnesses

This Front Grill Assembly replaces the removable front trim that surrounds the appliance door and vents, restoring appearance and airflow. It provides a finished look and helps direct airflow while protecting internal components from debris. What it does:

• Replaces damaged, cracked, or faded front trim to improve appearance
• Restores proper grille fit to help direct air through the front vent area
• Helps reduce entry of lint and debris into the cabinet opening
• Useful when gaps or loose trim allow rattling or scraping noises

• High-level replacement—remove power and, if applicable, disconnect the appliance before beginning
• Require removal of a few screws or clips from the door or front panel; hold parts securely to avoid dropping
• Inspect surrounding seal, screws, and clips and replace any damaged fasteners for a secure fit

The Thermistor Assembly is an OEM part for LG air conditioners. It is typically located near the evaporator coil or in the air intake area of the unit. It measures the ambient temperature and sends signals to the control board to adjust the cooling output accordingly.

Causes of a faulty or malfunctioning thermistor assembly can include normal wear and tear, exposure to extreme temperatures, or electrical issues. These factors can lead to inaccurate temperature readings, improper cooling performance, or erratic behavior of the air conditioner.

Symptoms of a bad thermistor assembly may include:

• Inconsistent cooling or insufficient cooling
• Inaccurate temperature display on the control panel
• Frequent cycling on and off of the compressor

This OEM LG part can also be used on Kenmore/Sears appliances. 

The Axial Fan is an OEM part for LG air conditioners. It is designed to circulate air across the evaporator and condenser coils, ensuring efficient heat exchange and cooling performance. This fan is crucial for maintaining the airflow needed to keep your air conditioner functioning optimally.

Causes of a bad axial fan can include wear and tear over time, debris buildup on the fan blades, or motor failure. Such issues can impede the fan's ability to rotate properly, reducing the efficiency of your air conditioning unit.

Symptoms of a bad axial fan include:

• Reduced cooling performance
• Unusual noises during operation
• The air conditioner cycling on and off frequently
• Increased energy consumption due to inefficient cooling

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore.
