218480000 Frigidaire Micro Switch for Refrigerators

Micro Switch for Refrigerators.

Frigidaire's product line includes brands such as Electrolux and they also manufacture components for Sears-Kenmore. One key component is the Starter Device, an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part designed for Frigidaire refrigerators. This component is essential for activating the compressor, which is crucial for starting and sustaining the refrigeration process effectively. Maintaining a functional starter device is important for keeping food at the appropriate temperature, which helps in preserving its freshness and preventing spoilage.

The deterioration of a starter device can be attributed to regular wear and tear or electrical issues, including short circuits or overload.

Indicators of a malfunctioning Starter Device are:

- The refrigerator not powering up or repeatedly powering down
- A noticeable clicking noise from the refrigerator's rear, signaling unsuccessful start attempts
- Inability of the refrigerator to keep stable cold temperatures
- Food spoilage resulting from insufficient cooling

This specific OEM part from Frigidaire is also suitable for use with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and certain Kenmore models.
