This part is both the start relay and the overload. The start relay boosts the compressor, and then shuts off as soon as the motor gets up to speed and the overload provides extra protection against excessive temperatures.

Upon Inspection of electrical connections I found the controller connector slightly melted, so I ordered a replacement and the other parts, given the freeezers age. Replacement efforts were close to plug and play. Compressor powered back up And freezer is now functioning again.
Compressor Stopped Running. Fan and lights still working.
1. Ensure that the power is completely removed from the freezer. 2. Using needle-nose pliers and a screw driver, remove the wire retainer holding the controller assembly to the compressor and remove the controller assembly by pulling away from the compressor. 3.

Use the Blue Barrel connectors provided with the controller kit to connect the controller wires provided in the kit to the existing wires of the freezer. **Ensure that they are well crimped. 6. Using a heat gun, shrink the tubing to fit over the connector and wires. **Be careful not to overheat. 7. Plug the connector into the new controller provided in the kit. 8. Plug the controller assembly back into the socket on the compressor. 9. Reattach the wire retainer securely to hold the controller assembly to the compressor. 10. Plug in the freezer and adjust the thermostat so that the compressor energizes. If the controller was the issue your freezer should begin to cool.

Freezer compressor quit running causing freezer to defrost and ruin all contents.
Very simple repair. Removed the bail that holds the compressor controller and run capacitor from the compressor, removed the controller & capacitor, inserted a very small screwdriver into the controller to compress the barbs that hold the electrical wires to the controller. Plugged in the wires to the new controller in the same position a
... Read mores the original, plugged in the capacitor and then plugged the entire unit back onto the compressor, replaced the wire bail, plugged in the freezer and repair was complete.
Controller showed signs of the plastic housing had melted.
I paid attention to how the old part came off. You need a small (very small) flat bladed screwdriver to release the two wires that plug into the controller. I checked that it was a bit difficult but it would had been easier if I could have found a screwdriver sooner.

Faulty Controller and Possibly Capacitor
After building a test box and determining the Controller was bad simply ordered parts and installed. Installation was a little difficult due to locking spades on electrical connections.
Unplug all power from freezer. Remove Bail wire from controller capacitor unit and remove from compressor by pulling STRAIGHT from compre

Use a very small instrumentation screwdriver to release locking spade on yellow and white wires. To unlock slide screwdriver in slot along wire entry to controller body while gently pulling on wire. Note position of wires and replace on new unit in same position/order. Plug new run capacitor into new controller being careful to orient capacitor to proper position (hole matches guide on controller unit). Plug newly installed controller and capacitor into condensor and replace bail wire.
Make sure timer is not in defrost mode - manually advance timer if necessary to ensure timer is in run mode. Turn temperature control to coldest setting. Plug in and hopefully enjoy the humming noise of your newly repaired and operational compressor and freezer.

I bought this part. The instructions say the wire colors should match, but the wires on the new harness are both white. The existing harness the wires are blue and white. Since the connector on the new is a different layout than the existing, I can't even match the locations up. How do I determine which side of the connector the blue or white wires of the existing harness should mate to.
For model number FFU14C3AW0
Hello Clyde, Thank you for the question. The terminal that is closest to the center of the relay will be the Neutral and the outer terminal will be the L1. We hope this helps!

I bought this and the original one had a place to plug-in the capacitor. This one does not. How do I now connect the capacitor?
For model number FFC13K1AW0
Hi Matthew, thank you for contacting us. We have found that the capacitor is connected to the relay through the two terminals at the top adjacent to the pin. After connecting the wires, line the capacitor to the two terminals so that the terminals go into the start device and then line the pin up so that the capacitor is held in place. Then press the capacitor down and snap it in. We hope this sorts out your problem!
