The Refrigerator Relay and Overload Kit is designed for compatibility with a variety of brands, such as Electrolux, Gibson, Tappan, and Sears-Kenmore. This kit includes an OEM Start Relay, tailored specifically for Frigidaire refrigerators. Functioning as an electronic switch, the relay activates the refrigerator's systems upon receiving signals from the control board. This role is crucial in efficiently starting compressors and fans, which helps prevent direct circuit overloads.
Over time, a start relay may fail due to natural wear from frequent use or due to mineral buildup that causes resistance or electrical arcing.
Indicators of a faulty start relay include the following:
- The refrigerator may not start or maintain proper cooling.
- Unusual clicking noises could occur, and the compressor may not initiate.
- The circuit breaker might trip often while the refrigerator is running.
Employing this OEM replacement relay from Frigidaire can deliver reliable start-up and cooling performance. It is also compatible with selected models from Electrolux, Gibson, and Kenmore.
