Frigidaire Compressor Controller 297259503 OEM Part

The start device is an essential element in Frigidaire refrigerators, also suitable for models from Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore. As an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part, its primary function is to activate the refrigerator's compressor, which is necessary for initiating the cooling process. The start relay, responsible for this activation, is subject to frequent wear due to its repetitive cycling on and off.

Signs that the start relay may be failing include:

- The refrigerator does not cool, or the compressor does not engage.
- A persistent humming noise occurs without effective cooling.
- A noticeable decline in cooling performance over time.

Failures in the start relay commonly arise from extended exposure to heat and electrical stress, potentially leading to weakened insulation and damaged wiring. Furthermore, internal corrosion from condensation or refrigerant leaks can impair its performance.

This Frigidaire replacement relay is engineered for compatibility, ensuring your appliance returns to optimal function.
