Refrigerator Start Switch Stack 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 dryer temperature selector switch lets you choose between four heat settings for proper fabric care. Replacing a worn switch restores accurate temperature selection so loads dry evenly without overdrying delicate items.

This PTC start relay and overload protector assembly mounts on the compressor. It manages compressor start-up and cuts power if overheating occurs. Replacing a failed start device may restore normal cooling and stop repeated clicking from the compressor area.

• Controls compressor start-up through a PTC start device that disengages after the motor is running
• Overload protector interrupts power if current draw or temperature is excessive to protect the compressor
• Visual clues of failure can include heat damage or a burnt odor around the start device

• Disconnect power and allow the compressor to cool before servicing
• Note wire positions; transfer wires and install the assembly on the compressor pins in the same orientation
• Ensure terminals are fully seated; do not force if fitment differs from the original
• If present, reconnect any external run capacitor exactly as originally routed

This compressor start device kit helps your refrigerator or freezer's compressor start reliably each cooling cycle. Replacing a weak or failed start device can restore cooling performance and stop repetitive clicking or brief humming when the compressor tries to start.

• Powers the compressor's start winding to initiate start-up, then disengages
• Supports consistent compressor starts to maintain proper temperatures
• Common symptoms of failure: unit warm, compressor not running, rapid clicking from rear, humming then shuts off
• May accompany signs like heat damage or a burnt odor at the old device

• Unplug the appliance before servicing; allow components to cool
• Located on the side of the compressor behind the rear access panel
• Photograph wiring and compressor pin layout; transfer wires one at a time and seat the device fully on the pins
• If your unit uses a separate run capacitor, reconnect it exactly as originally wired

Kit includes relay, overlaod, cover and instructions.Note Due to manufacturer changes part received may appear different than as shown in photo.

This controller kit is the appliance's main electronic control. It reads inputs from the user interface and sensors to power and coordinate key components. Replacing a failed controller restores responsive controls and consistent, reliable operation.

• Interprets commands from the keypad and sensors to manage operation
• Controls relays powering motors, fans, compressor, or valves as designed
• Coordinates modes and cycle timing for proper performance
• Common symptoms: dead or blank display, unresponsive buttons, won't start, intermittent shutdowns, or error codes

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing
• Handle the board with ESD precautions; avoid touching connectors and components
• Photograph/label wire connections and transfer them one at a time to the new board
• After installation, verify any model-specific settings per the service documentation before testing

This capacitor stores and releases electrical energy to support the appliance's circuit during startup and operation. Replacing a weakened capacitor can restore reliable performance and reduce humming, hard starting, or stalling in the affected component.

• Provides a power boost at startup and helps stabilize voltage during operation
• Helps the connected component start promptly and operate smoothly under load
• Common failure signs include humming, slow or no start, or intermittent operation
• Contribute to overheating or a tripped breaker/fuse when the component tries to start

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance. Before handling, safely discharge the old capacitor using a proper resistor-rated tool.
• Photograph or note wire positions; move each lead to the same-labeled terminal on the new capacitor and ensure snug connections.
• Mount the capacitor securely in its bracket; keep terminals covered and clear of metal surfaces.
