Refrigerator Push Button Start Switch Parts

Wake up the morning after a big fourth-of-July cookout to find the refrigerator is running, but not cooling any more. Wife is mad, food is spoiling, and the kitchen is littered with every cooler in the house. No repair person can come by to look at the refrigerator for at least five days. I narrow down the problem to the start relay and I was able to find the exact part on AppliancePartsPros. With two-day shipping, I get the part fast, and the kit came with everything I need (and then... Read more

I read alot of blogs about the same similar symptom, but none described by exact problem. I kept reading how the compressor relay would make a click noise or sisal. I also found out the overload switch could cause a like symptom. The end result being that upon removal of the relay, it was discolored and made a rattling noise when shook. The overload switch was heat cracked on the plastic and looked like it had had enough. This was easily accomplished by using the repair mans print out for the... Read more

We attempted to reassemble the dispenser. At the time we did realize how simple it was to remove the cover. We checked Appliancepartspros.com and found the Water Dispenser Cover Assembly. Once we saw the part and understood how the cover was in place, we used a thin, flat, trowel to gently get under the cover to pry it loose. We then just snapped the new cover in place. A small rubber mallet would be helpful. We ordered the entire assemble in case we broke parts in our attempt to replace.... Read more

I replaced defrost timer (which I am glad I did because of wear on the points) but that did not cure the problem. So after checking other components, I found that the temperature control was the culprit. No problem, I will simply order part # 2162521100. Well Frigidaire decided to obsolete that part and "Has not provided an approved substitute". So, I have to scrap this freezer and pay $800 to $900 for a new one? Not! So I kept looking at subsequent freezer temperature controls and found part #... Read more

Turn the power off to the range. Pull off the black control knob. Remove 6 - 5/16 screws in back of the range behind the controls panel. Take out 2 screws (behind the control knob) in front that hold the control swirch in the panel. Remove each wire from the old switch and place it onto the new switch (one at a time)so get the wires are installed in the correct place. Make sure the wire are tight on the new switch. Install the new switch, put the two mounting screws in, reinstall the back, put... Read more

I had the water filter holder replaced to fix the problem with the water for the door and the ice maker. The holder did not come with the cover for the release button for the filter. I ordered a replacement cover (Button) for the filter release. The cover fits over the release lever and was easily snapped onto the lever. It took more time to unpack the button from the packaging then it did to install it onto the filter housing. I don't understand why this part wasn't included with the new... Read more
