Fix a refrigerator that clicks but won't cool with this compressor start device. Simple 5-10 minute DIY repair restores cooling to both compartments.
After watching a few videos on this site and on You Tube it seemed like the most likely culprits were the starter and the capacitor. I found them easily behind the back panel near the compressor and easily unplugged them. I found the part numbers on this site and ordered them. After a 5 minute installation the compressor came back to life, and my 10 year old refrigerator has a new lease on life. Read more

THERMISTOR ASSEMBLY,PTC
For an emergency fix I installed a 3 in1 kit disabling the original start cap and wiring in the original run cap to the run winding. Ordered the proper PTC and overload from Appliance Parts Pros and installed them 2 weeks later. The original start and run capacitor were good, rewired back to design specs. The original PTC had pins 1,2 and 3, the replacement had 2,3 and 4. Only wiring change was to install the red wire from pin 1 on the original PTC to pin 4 on the new PTC. Read more
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:
This OEM Frigidaire part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator and some Kenmore models.
After smelling and seeing the smoke I was able to spot the defective parts. Where the run capacitor connects to the control-compressor is where it was burning. So I went to the Appliance Parts Pros website and put in the model number and the diagram of parts come up. I ordered the new parts, the control-compressor, and the run capacitor. Quick shipping. Installed and works ss required. Read more

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:
An appliance repairman came to diagnose the issue causing the burning smell and the reason the 17- year old Frigidaire freezer was not cooling. He plugged the freezer back in and it immediately flamed up revealing the failed power overload controller. He tested the controller and the attached capacitor and found they had both failed. He quoted $556 to replace the failed parts to resolve the issue. We initially decided the replace the whole freezer given its age, but due to the China virus,... Read more

Fix inconsistent cooling or a compressor that won't start with this refrigerator start relay. Restores power to the compressor for proper cooling.
Freezer not cooling or running constantly? This compressor kit circulates refrigerant through the system. Advanced repair requires refrigerant handling.
Purchased a replacement COMPRESSOR. The compress or was a replacement for MFG. P/N 5304478809. The compressor was not an exact replacement. There was no port identification so the connections took a lot of time searching the net and then only the suction port was noted. I had to operate the compressor to be sure of the discharge port.The start relay on the original had no power plug as the new one did so had to improvise by cutting the wiring and adding 1/8 push on clips and then sliding on to...
