241941005 Frigidaire Refrigerator Start Device

Refrigerator Start Device.

Frigidaire, Electrolux, and Sears-Kenmore products feature a compressor start device that is crucial for the operation of the refrigerator. This OEM replacement part is located on the side or rear of the refrigerator, connected to the compressor. Its main function is to provide the necessary electrical boost to start the compressor motor when the refrigerator is turned on. This ensures that the compressor starts smoothly and efficiently, maintaining the desired temperature in both the refrigerator and freezer sections. By temporarily increasing the electrical current, the start device helps initiate the compressor motor's rotation.

This Frigidaire part is compatible with Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore models.

Common issues that this part addresses include:

- Refrigerator not cooling properly or not cooling at all
- Clicking or buzzing sounds from the refrigerator
- Frequent or extended compressor cycling
- Overheating of the compressor
- Reduced energy efficiency and higher power consumption
