Parts for Frigidaire FFPT12F0KM0: 07 - System Parts

This terminal block cover protects exposed power connections on the appliance, helping prevent accidental contact and shorting for safer operation and maintenance. It's a simple replacement if the original cover is cracked or missing. What it does:

• Covers and insulates the appliance power terminal block to reduce shock and short-circuit risk
• Helps prevent debris and moisture from reaching energized connections
• Common symptom: missing or damaged cover with visible terminals or frayed wiring
• Common symptom: burning smell or arcing near the power connection area

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing
• Usually installs over the terminal block behind a rear or lower access panel; access panel removal may be required
• Inspect wiring and terminal screws while panel is open; replace damaged wires or loose connections as needed

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 stores and releases electrical energy to help a motor or compressor start and run smoothly. Replacing a weak or failed capacitor can restore proper startup, reduce humming, and improve overall cooling performance.

• Provides the phase shift and torque boost needed for AC motors to start
• Stabilizes motor operation during run for consistent performance
• Common symptoms of failure: motor/compressor hums but won't start, intermittent starting, reduced cooling/airflow
• Visual clues include a swollen/bulging top or leaking oil residue
• Contribute to breaker trips or overheating when degraded

• Disconnect power and safely discharge the old capacitor before handling
• Photograph wiring and transfer leads to the matching terminals on the new capacitor; match microfarad (µF) and voltage ratings to the original
• Mount securely; avoid contact with sharp edges or moving parts
• Check the motor/compressor and wiring for additional faults
