The Compressor Start Relay is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. This essential component is responsible for initiating the compressor's start-up process by supplying power to the compressor motor. It helps kickstart the compressor, allowing it to begin the cooling cycle.

A faulty start relay or overload can occur due to wear and tear over time, electrical issues, or component failure.

Signs of a bad start relay may include:

• The refrigerator not cooling properly or not cooling at all
• Unusual noises coming from the compressor area
• The compressor fails to start or repeatedly cycles on and off

This OEM Frigidaire part can also be used on Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.

The Starter Device is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. This part boosts the compressor, enabling it to begin and maintain the refrigeration cycle efficiently. A functioning starter device is vital for preserving food at the right temperature, ensuring freshness and preventing spoilage. 

Causes of a bad starter device can range from natural wear and tear to electrical failures, such as short circuits or overloading.

Symptoms of a bad Starter Device include:

• Refrigerator not starting or frequently restarting
• A clicking sound coming from the back of the refrigerator, indicating failed start attempts
• The refrigerator failing to maintain consistent cold temperatures
• Spoiled food due to inadequate cooling

This OEM Frigidaire part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator and some Kenmore models.

This compressor start device briefly energizes the compressor's start winding to get it running, then disengages automatically. Replacing a weak or open PTC can restore cooling and stop the repeating hum-click from the compressor area.

• Provides the initial boost for the compressor to start, then opens as the PTC warms
• Helps the compressor start reliably on each cooling cycle
• Works with the compressor's overload protector to safeguard the motor circuit
• Common symptoms of failure: not cooling, compressor won't start, rapid clicking or hum-click every few minutes, intermittent cooling after power cycling

• Disconnect power and pull the unit forward to access the compressor compartment
• Remove the start-device cover; note wire positions
• Pull the old start device straight off the compressor terminals; avoid bending the pins
• Align the new device with the C–S–R terminals in the same orientation, push on fully, reconnect wires, reinstall cover, and restore power
• Inspect the mating overload protector and terminal connectors for heat damage before reassembly

This starter is a small electrical device that helps the refrigerator or freezer compressor start reliably, restoring proper cooling when the compressor struggles to power up. Replace a failed starter to bring the compressor back to dependable operation. What it does:

• Supplies the initial start current to the compressor so it can spin up and begin the refrigeration cycle.
• Common symptoms of a failing starter: refrigerator or freezer not cooling, compressor hums or vibrates but won't run, repeated clicking noises at the back, or intermittent cooling.
• Works with the appliance's existing compressor wiring and start circuit to restore normal starting performance when compatible.

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before attempting any repair.
• The starter typically mounts on or near the compressor and may require pulling the appliance away from the wall and removing the rear access panel.
• Handle terminals and wiring carefully; match connectors and orientation to the original part.

This PTC compressor start relay briefly powers the compressor's start winding to get the motor turning, then drops out as it warms. Replacing a weak relay can restore consistent compressor starts and stabilize refrigerator and freezer temperatures.

• Momentarily energizes the compressor's start winding; disengages automatically as the PTC element heats
• Helps protect the compressor by removing the start winding after startup
• Symptoms of failure can include compressor clicking but not running
• Intermittent cooling or warming temperatures between cycles
• Heat discoloration or a burnt odor around the start device

• Disconnect power and remove the rear lower access panel
• Note wire locations; remove the start device cover/retainer and pull the old relay straight off the compressor pins
• Inspect compressor pins; firmly seat the new relay and reconnect wiring
• Reinstall covers/panels, restore power, and verify normal compressor start

This starter is the compressor's start device. It energizes the start winding so the compressor can begin running, helping restore reliable cooling performance. What it does and common signs it's bad:

• Supplies initial current to the compressor's start winding; disengages once the motor is running
• Symptoms can include a warm refrigerator/freezer, compressor not starting, clicking or humming every few minutes
• Can show heat damage or rattling when shaken after failure

• One compressor starter

• Disconnect power before servicing and pull the unit forward for rear access
• Remove the compressor cover; note wire positions and device orientation
• Firmly seat the new starter on the compressor terminals and reconnect the harness; reinstall the cover
• Restore power and observe compressor start-up; use cut-resistant gloves and follow the product's service information

This compressor start relay (PTC) briefly powers the compressor's start winding to ensure reliable start-up. Replacing a failed relay can stop repeated clicking and help a non-starting compressor restore normal refrigerator cooling.

• Provides a timed, resistance-based boost to the compressor's start winding, then drops out of the circuit
• Common symptoms: compressor hums then clicks off, frequent clicking from the rear, warm fridge/freezer, intermittent cooling
• Mounts directly on the compressor terminals; works with the separate overload protector and, if equipped, a run capacitor
• Visible signs of failure may include heat damage, burnt odor, or loose/rattling pieces inside the old relay

• Unplug the refrigerator and remove the lower rear access panel to reach the compressor
• Note wire routing and orientation; transfer any harness/retainer and seat the relay fully on the compressor pins
• If a run capacitor is present, discharge it before handling and reconnect to the same terminals
• Inspect the overload and connectors; replace any heat-damaged components

This PTC starter helps the compressor start by briefly supplying the correct current at startup, restoring reliable cooling when the compressor struggles to kick on. Compact replacement for failed or weak start devices. What it does

• Provides a timed boost to the compressor start winding so the compressor can start reliably
• Commonly used when a refrigerator or freezer won't start or hums without running
• Helps prevent frequent hard starts that can overheat the compressor
• Passive solid-state design with no moving parts for simple, maintenance-free operation

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing the starter
• Handle electrical connections carefully; install the starter in the same orientation and wiring position as the original
• If the compressor or start relay shows additional damage, replace those components.

This compressor start relay helps the refrigerator compressor start reliably so the appliance can maintain proper cooling. It replaces a failing start device to restore normal compressor startup behavior. What it does:
