The Starter is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire refrigerators. This component is crucial for initiating the compressor, which is responsible for cooling the refrigerator. The starter works by providing the necessary electrical power to get the compressor running, ensuring that the refrigerator maintains the correct temperature.

Causes of a bad starter can include electrical malfunctions, wear and tear over time, or damage from power surges. A faulty starter can prevent the compressor from starting, leading to cooling issues.

Symptoms of a bad Starter include:

• The refrigerator not cooling properly
• The compressor not running or frequently cycling on and off
• Unusual clicking or buzzing noises from the compressor area
• The refrigerator being warmer than usual or food spoiling quickly

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

This compressor overload is a thermal/protective device that helps prevent compressor damage by cutting power when the motor overheats or draws excessive current. It restores normal operation once conditions return to safe levels. What it does:

• Protects the refrigerator compressor from overheating and electrical overloads
• Works with the compressor start relay to help the motor start and run properly
• Common symptom linkage: replaces a failed overload when the compressor hums but won't start
• Stops compressor cycling or prevents repeated trips that cause cooling loss

• One compressor overload (single piece as shown)

• Disconnect all power before replacing to avoid shock or injury
• Handle terminals carefully and reconnect matching terminal positions
• Replace only with the same part number or equivalent
• If compressor still won't start after replacing the overload, check the start relay and compressor condition.

Protective terminal cover that shields electrical connections from debris and moisture. Replace if cracked, broken, or missing to ensure safe operation.

Freezer cold but refrigerator warm? This defrost heater melts frost buildup on the evaporator coil to restore proper airflow and cooling performance.

Aluminum strap secures the defrost heater against the evaporator coil. Replace if broken, cracked, or missing to maintain proper heater contact.

This part has been discontinued by the manufacturer and is no longer available.

Fix refrigerator cooling issues or compressor leaks with this tube repair kit. Essential sealed system component for restoring proper refrigeration.

This wheat-colored electrical plug restores a secure connection in the appliance wiring harness, helping ensure reliable power delivery to components and reducing intermittent operation or loss of function. What it does:

• Provides a secure, color-coded connection point for wiring harness terminals.
• Holds and insulates mating terminals to prevent shorts and corrosion.
• Maintains continuity to the associated component so it runs reliably.
• Common symptom: component or circuit works intermittently or not at all when the plug or its terminals are loose or damaged.

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing electrical parts.
• Match plug orientation and fully seat the connector until it clicks; do not force.
• Inspect wiring and terminals for damage; replace any frayed wires or corroded terminals before installing.
• After installation, restore power and verify the affected component operates normally.

Tapping plate that mounts to the freezer cabinet structure. Replace this metal plate if it's cracked, bent, corroded, or missing to restore proper assembly.
