Parts for Frigidaire FFPT10F3MB0: 07 - System Parts

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

This capacitor provides the electrical boost needed for a refrigerator motor to start and run reliably, helping restore normal compressor/fan operation. Replace a failing capacitor to address intermittent or no-start motor symptoms. What it does:

• Stores and releases electrical energy to help the compressor or condenser fan start and maintain proper speed
• Commonly linked to symptoms like motors that hum, fail to start, run weakly, or cause inconsistent cooling
• Works as a direct replacement when the original capacitor shows signs of failure or leakage
• Compatible with systems that use a separate motor start/run capacitor

• One replacement capacitor

• Always disconnect power at the appliance and breaker before inspecting or replacing the capacitor
• Capacitors can hold charge after power is removed—discharge safely
• Use insulated tools and avoid touching terminals; confirm correct orientation and secure mounting when installing
