Refrigerator Capacitor

(44)
Part #WPW10662129
This capacitor (Refrigerator and Freezer Compressor Run Capacitor, Run Capacitor) provides the voltage or energy current required to start the compressor and keep it running. It allows the compressor in your appliance to easily cycle on and off. This capacitor mounts directly onto the compressor starting relay. If the capacitor is faulty the compressor may get unusually hot and draw excessive amperage. It the compressor overheats, it may fail to run until it cools down again. The compressor may also get noisy from overheating. If this part is totally electrically open, it is defective (often due to overheating) and needs to be replaced. The part measures 1 inch by 1-1/2 inches, and is constructed of plastic with two metal wire terminals. This item includes 1 capacitor, sold individually. This part comes in black.

Part #WP4356840
This metal freezer door key has a cross shape and is approximately 2 inches long. If your freezer door will not stay shut, you can use the key as a quick fix to keep it closed. If your key will not lock, or unlock the freezer door, check to see if it has been bent or damaged. If the key is damaged, you should look to replace it to avoid damaging the lock. The key should engage the locking mechanism with ease. If the lock sticks when you turn the key, penetrating fluid should be used to loosen the mechanism. These keys are sold separately, and should be stored somewhere safe and not next to the unit.

Freezer Grille – Part Number: WP4-60461-005
$60.51
Special Order
Freezer Grille
Part #WP4-60461-005
This grille is a manufacturer-approved replacement part used in refrigerators. It is located on the bottom front of the appliance. The grille is a rectangular plastic frame with a series of narrow, closely spaced bars. The grille acts as a protective cover for the condenser coils and other internal components of the refrigerator, to allow proper airflow for cooling. Over time, the grille can become clogged or damaged, causing the condenser coils to overheat and compromising the cooling ability of the fridge. A faulty grille will also result in contaminants entering the internal refrigerator components, increased energy consumption, and compressor failure. Therefore, it is important to replace the grille as soon as possible to prevent further damage to your appliance. Use a flathead screwdriver to pry the grille away from the refrigerator. Clean the exposed area and gently press the grille into the mounting slots until it is locked in place.

My refrigerator stopped cooling and the freezer section stopped freezing

I knew the chances of all the freon leaking out was unlikely so I looked at the wiring to the compressor and there was a capacitor and a starter/overload so i figured I would start there. I went on line and found the parts at this site and they were less than the minimum service call charge for a service tech so I figured what the heck le t's give her a shot so I did give it a shot. I ordered the parts and they were there in less time than a service tech could come out and i installed the parts and guess what for 90.00 in parts and 15 minutes in time I repaired my refrigerator. Thanks guys, It took less time to order the parts than it did to make the repair so thanks, your website rocks and is very well designed so my hat is off to you guys!

I used a flat-head screwdriver to pop out the old light rocker switch. Then, I unplugged the wires, plugged them into the new light rocker switch, and then popped the new switch into the hole. That's it! Lights began working again.

Light Switch broke

An easy job for smaller hands. Removed the two bolts holding the light cover. Removed two electrical connections from the old switch by pinching the retaining clip,removed the switch, snapped in the new one and re-attached the connectors. Your online illustrations helped me to know that the plastic housing for the light switch would only swing down so far and was not intended to be removed. Saved me from breaking that plastic cover's tabs. This home repair saved me more than 5 times the cost of hiring a professional to do it. Very happy homeowner.
