This compressor start relay (PTC) briefly powers the compressor's start winding to ensure reliable start-up. Replacing a failed relay can stop repeated clicking and help a non-starting compressor restore normal refrigerator cooling.

• Provides a timed, resistance-based boost to the compressor's start winding, then drops out of the circuit
• Common symptoms: compressor hums then clicks off, frequent clicking from the rear, warm fridge/freezer, intermittent cooling
• Mounts directly on the compressor terminals; works with the separate overload protector and, if equipped, a run capacitor
• Visible signs of failure may include heat damage, burnt odor, or loose/rattling pieces inside the old relay

• Unplug the refrigerator and remove the lower rear access panel to reach the compressor
• Note wire routing and orientation; transfer any harness/retainer and seat the relay fully on the compressor pins
• If a run capacitor is present, discharge it before handling and reconnect to the same terminals
• Inspect the overload and connectors; replace any heat-damaged components

This condenser fan motor powers the refrigerator condenser fan to move air across the condenser coils, helping the appliance cool efficiently. Replaces a failed motor to restore proper condenser airflow and reduce overheating risk. What it does:

• Turns the condenser fan blade to circulate air over condenser coils

• Commonly used when the fan is noisy, not spinning, or the compressor overheats
• Works as the main motor for the condenser fan assembly in the cooling system

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Handle the fan blade and motor mounting carefully to avoid bending blades or damaging wiring
• Test operation after installation;

This refrigerator deflector is a molded guide that mounts inside the unit to direct internal airflow where it's needed. Replacing a cracked, warped, or missing deflector helps restore proper circulation for more consistent temperatures and performance.

• Channels airflow within the freezer/dispenser path to maintain even cooling
• Helps reduce frost or ice buildup caused by misdirected air
• Can address symptoms like warm spots, frost around vents, or rattling from loose parts
• Replace if broken, deformed, or missing

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Remove shelves/panels as needed to access the mounting location; keep track of screws/clips
• Install the new deflector in the same orientation; reuse existing hardware
• Reassemble and verify that vents/air passages are unobstructed

This seal kit replaces worn sealing material in your appliance to restore a tight, reliable barrier. A fresh seal helps stop leaks and drafts, reduces noise, and supports proper temperature and moisture control.

• Creates a secure seal between mating surfaces or components
• Helps prevent air or water leaks around the sealed area

Here is a replacement shelf support grommet that is used in freezers and refrigerators. The grommets are used to provide stability for the shelves in the refrigerator. If they are broken or missing, the shelves will not sit correctly, and owners won't be able to put anything onto the shelves. A replacement grommet should slide into place, but may need to be gently tapped to ensure a proper seal is made.The shelf support grommet is for use with certain refrigerator models from Frigidaire, Kenmore, Gibson, and Crosley. This is a genuine OEM replacement part that was sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is important to note that the grommets are sold individually. If more than one is needed, owners will need to order multiple.
