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

This replacement control knob restores simple, reliable operation for an appliance control so you can adjust heat, power or function settings with a secure grip. It replaces a cracked, loose or missing knob to make controls usable again. What it does

• Provides a secure grip to turn and set appliance controls.
• Replaces knobs that are cracked, worn, loose or missing.
• Restores basic user control over temperature, power or function settings.
• Helps prevent accidental slips when adjusting controls.

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before servicing electrical components.
• Remove the old knob by pulling it straight off the control shaft; align the new knob and push on until fully seated.
• Do not force the knob onto the shaft—if it won't seat easily, verify shaft type and orientation.

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

Fridge not cooling but lights work? This compressor overload stops overheating and prevents startup damage. DIY-friendly repair in about 1 hour.

Interior light stays on or won't turn on? This upright freezer door switch controls lighting when the door opens and closes. Simple fix for most DIYers.

Refrigerator clicking but not cooling? A failed overload protector can prevent compressor startup. This part interrupts power during overheating.

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.
