White Westinghouse Relay, Overload, Capacitor
Genuine Frigidaire part
By: Frigidaire
Part Number: 241707721
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
What's included: 1 PTC start relay Install notes:
- 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

Fairly certain multiple brown outs burn the part out Mark M. • Franklin Furnace , OH • November 16, 2019
When the part arrived finally, 10 minute's later the refrigerator was working. Note: FedEx was not the fastest way, the part set days at their facility before moving to another. Finally, it was transferred to USPS and delivery was made by my postman.

- Stops excessive current draw during startup to protect the compressor
- Commonly used when the compressor hums, won't start, or cycles on and off rapidly
- Helps eliminate starter-related clicking or failure-to-start issues
What's included: One relay assembly as shown Install notes:
- Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing the relay
- Handle electrical connectors carefully; ensure secure, correct reattachment
- Verify match to the existing relay and mounting before installation

Genuine Frigidaire part
By: Frigidaire
Part Number: 218721108
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
What's included One PTC starter Install notes
- 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.

Part Number: 5304433579
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:
- Provides the initial boost to the compressor motor so it can start turning
- Commonly used when the compressor hums or won't start but power is present
- Can reduce repeated clicking or intermittent starts caused by a failed start device
- Works with the compressor's start circuit; does not replace sealed-system components
What's included:
- One compressor start relay
Install notes:
- Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing electrical components
- Inspect associated start capacitor/overload if present; replace if faulty for reliable operation

Part Number: 297286812
This capacitor stores and releases electrical energy to help the refrigerator's compressor start and run smoothly. Replacing a weak or failed capacitor can restore reliable compressor startup and more consistent cooling performance.
- Provides the electrical boost/phase shift needed for compressor motor startup and steady operation
- Works with the start device to deliver proper current to the compressor
- Failure symptoms can include clicking or humming near the compressor, poor cooling, or short cycling
- May cause the compressor not to start after power interruptions when weak or failed
What's included: 1 capacitor Install notes:
- Disconnect power before servicing any electrical component
- Safely discharge the capacitor before handling; avoid touching terminals
- Note wire positions and terminal markings; transfer leads one at a time to the matching terminals
- Secure the capacitor in its mounting/bracket to prevent vibration damage

Three year old Frigidaire upright freezer quit running. Kenneth B. • Crossville , TN • April 03, 2021
My barely three year old Frigidaire upright freezer quit running and we discovered it when most of the contents were just starting to thaw. Luckily we have nearby neighbors that my wife walks with most days and two or three of them came to our rescue with available freezer space to save the more valuable things like meat and seafood. The compressor would not come on, no fan, no noises of any kind but the light came on when the door was opened so obviously it had power. I unplugged it for a...

- Cycles cooling components to maintain the temperature you set
- Helps keep cabinet temperatures consistent for proper food storage
- Coordinates on/off operation to prevent overcooling or warm conditions
- Common failure symptoms: too warm or too cold, runs constantly or won't start, control/dial unresponsive
What's included:
Install notes:
- Disconnect power before servicing—this is a line-voltage control
- Access the control area, label or photograph wire positions, and move wires one at a time to the new controller
- Reuse existing mounting hardware and any knob/overlay as applicable
- After install, set to mid setting and allow up to 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize
