The Compressor Controller is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It is a component responsible for monitoring and regulating the compressor.
The controller allows the compressor to operate efficiently based on temperature inputs from sensors located throughout the refrigerator and freezer compartments. It controls compressor cycling intervals based on sensor readings in order to maintain optimal cooling.
Symptoms of a faulty controller include:
- Fluctuating interior refrigerator temperatures
- Compressor runs continuously without cycling off
- Compressor fails to turn on at all
This OEM Frigidaire part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator and some Kenmore models.
