Sealed System Leak Parts

This PTC start relay mounts on the refrigerator compressor and briefly energizes the start winding, then automatically opens as it warms. Replacing a weak relay helps restore reliable compressor starts and consistent cooling. What it does:

• Provides momentary power to the compressor's start winding at startup; the PTC element opens as it heats
• Helps ensure smooth compressor starts and reduces repeated start attempts
• Signs of a failed start device can include no cooling because the compressor won't run
• Clicking or buzzing from the compressor area every few minutes
• Compressor starts intermittently or stops shortly after starting

• Includes: 1 PTC start relay

• Disconnect power and pull the refrigerator forward to access the rear service area
• Remove the rear panel to reach the compressor compartment
• Unplug the wire harness and pull the old relay straight off the compressor terminals; note its orientation
• Push the new relay fully onto the compressor prongs, reconnect the harness, reinstall the panel, and restore power

The Start Device is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This part provides the necessary electrical connection and power to initiate the refrigerator's compressor operation.

Causes of a bad start device can include electrical surges, regular wear and tear, or internal component failure.

Symptoms of a bad start device include:

• Refrigerator not cooling
• Clicking sounds from the refrigerator
• Compressor not starting
• Overheating compressor

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

This starter is the compressor start relay that briefly powers the start winding to get the compressor turning. Replacing a weak or failed starter can restore reliable compressor startup and consistent cooling performance.

• Engages the compressor's start winding at power-up, then disengages as the motor reaches speed
• Helps prevent repeated clicking, stalling, and overheating at the compressor
• Common symptoms include no cooling while fans run, compressor hums or clicks but won't start, or short-cycles on the overload
• Physical signs may include heat damage or a burnt odor on the original start device

• Disconnect power and allow the compressor to cool before service
• Discharge any capacitors per manufacturer instructions
• Note wire positions and terminal orientation; transfer leads one at a time
• Push the relay fully onto the compressor pins; ensure a secure fit without bending terminals

THERMISTOR ASSEMBLY,PTC

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.

This controller kit replaces the appliance's electronic control board, restoring proper power-up, keypad/display response, and reliable operation of controlled functions. Use it to address unresponsive controls or erratic behavior caused by a failed control board. What it does:

• Manages operation of key components based on sensor inputs and user settings
• Processes keypad/remote commands and powers display, mode, and timer circuits
• Coordinates temperature feedback to maintain selected settings
• Common failure symptoms include no display, unresponsive buttons, will not start, intermittent cycling, or error codes

• One controller kit

• Disconnect power before servicing; allow capacitors to discharge
• Use ESD precautions; handle the board by the edges only
• Access the control compartment; photograph wiring and move connectors one at a time to the new board
• Securely mount the board, restore power, and test all functions

This refrigerator compressor is the heart of the sealed cooling system. It compresses and circulates refrigerant so the fresh food and freezer sections reach and maintain set temperatures, restoring cooling performance when the original unit has failed.

• Compresses and moves refrigerant through the evaporator and condenser to remove heat from the cabinet
• Restores cooling when a failed or seized compressor is the cause of no-cool/weak-cool conditions
• Symptoms include a warm refrigerator or freezer, extended run time with little cooling
• Clicking or humming from the compressor area with no start, or overheating and cycling on overload

• Sealed-system service requires EPA Section 608 certification, recovery equipment, brazing, deep vacuum, and precise recharging
• Disconnect power and properly recover refrigerant before opening the system; replace the filter-drier, braze with nitrogen purge, leak-test, evacuate, then charge to the specification on the model's data plate
• Transfer any model-specific grommets, brackets, tubing, and external inverter/start components from the original unit or replace as directed in the service manual

This compressor overload protects the refrigerator's compressor by cutting power if it overheats or draws excessive current. When it fails, the compressor may not start and the fridge can warm up while you hear repeated clicking from the rear.

• Opens the circuit to the compressor when temperature or amperage exceed design limits
• Helps prevent compressor motor damage from locked-rotor or overheating conditions
• Typical failure symptoms: compressor won't start, warm refrigerator/freezer, rhythmic clicking or buzzing near the compressor
• Physical clues: heat discoloration, cracked housing, or a loose internal rattle

• Unplug the refrigerator and allow the compressor area to cool before servicing
• Remove the rear access panel and the compressor start device cover
• Note wire locations; pull the old overload straight off the compressor terminal and transfer any wires; reinstall with the existing start relay as designed
• Seat fully on the terminal and reinstall the cover; replace any heat-damaged terminals or companion components if needed

This compressor kit is made to be used with freezers and refrigerators by several manufacturers. It includes the compressor as well as all small parts associated with it. The compressor is a component that helps move the refrigerant throughout the appliance's system. Temperature sensors indicate when the compressor should run. If the compressor is damaged, it may make strange noises, no longer cool properly, or could begin to overheat.If any of these issues are present, the compressor should be replaced. First, make sure the refrigerator is not connected to a power source. Remove perishable items from the appliance and place them in an icebox, cooler with ice, or another refrigerator. Locate the compressor on the back of the appliance by removing the metal guard. Remove the wire between the compressor and the capacitor before taking off the compressor. Replace this part with the new one by connecting it to the wire and reassembling the appliance.This is a compressor kit for use with refrigerators and freezers made by Crosley, Electrolux, Westinghouse, Frigidaire, Kelvinator, Tappan, and Gibson. It is sourced directly from the manufacturer and sold as a single part. This is a genuine OEM replacement part.

The product featured is a Frigidaire refrigerator compressor. The compressor is a vital component for the cooling and freezing process of a refrigerator. A compressor works together with the evaporator in providing the cold air needed to keep everything at the desired temperature. When a compressor fails, this could have an effect that calls for an emergency repair. Losing the compressor function means the refrigerator stops getting cold in both compartments. Prolonging the repair could mean the loss of all the food items stored inside. A faulty compressor may become very loud when it operates. Users may hear a slight clicking sound on a compressor that's entirely out of commission. This is the relay clicking in an attempt to power the compressor. If a compressor does go out, keep the doors of the freezer and refrigerator shut. There's a chance the food can be salvaged if repairs take place fast enough. This compressor is a genuine OEM product and is sourced directly from the manufacturer and is only available as an individual component. Frigidaire, Kenmore, and Maytag refrigerators can be repaired with this component.
