Start Device for Freezers
The start device serves as an essential OEM component within various Frigidaire refrigerator models, including those by Electrolux, Gibson, Tappan, and Sears-Kenmore. Its primary function involves initiating the electrical current necessary for the compressor's operation.
Typically, the start device may fail due to standard wear or moisture-related exposure, potentially diminishing its performance lifespan.
Common symptoms of a failing start device include:
- The compressor not starting or running intermittently
- Audible clicking or buzzing sounds from the appliance
- Inconsistent internal temperatures within the refrigerator or freezer
- A cessation of cooling or freezing capabilities
- Overheating of the compressor
- Visible signs of burnt or damaged electrical connections near the start device
This component is compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and selected Kenmore appliance models.
