These work great for fixing failed OEM parts in freezers and refrigerators. I have one that has been running in a chest freezer now for over 6 years with no issues.

The compressor on my five year old Frigidaire chest freezer stopped running, and I thought I'd have to replace the freezer. Then I saw a video about this product on YouTube, and thought I'd give it a try. I installed it in less than 20 minutes, and the compressor started immediately. Delivery was fast, and the installation couldn't have been simpler. This little gadget saved me a lot of money. Highly recommended.

UPDATE:: This unit worked great until today, Sept 24/22. I had another unit here, ordered in error (810 model), relay in the 410 model crapped out. Thankfully, I was able to use the same relay from the 810 model, wired to the 410’s capacitor and it was working again. Relays are a weak point. Other than that, I am still happy enough that the pricing is way cheaper than a new fridge.Thankfully, watching videos etc pointed me to this product. My Kenmore Elite double door fridge with bottom freezer drawer STB. After installing this, the compressor fired up immediately. Could not handle buying a new 3Grand fridge. So happy this woked so well in reviving the compressor.

I have a Frigidaire fridge from the early 2000s in my off-grid cabin. The fridge has an Embraco compressor and has always caused a huge start-up surge, but otherwise runs fine.The start-up surge probably wouldn't be a problem - or even noticeable - on grid-tie power, but this fridge is run off a solar-charged battery+inverter and sometimes a small generator when there have been too many cloudy days.The inverter was always able to start the fridge, but an overload alarm would beep for a second.The generator is a Predator 2000w and could only start the fridge if the "economy" mode was turned off (running the generator at full tilt).Installed this Supco unit and now the start-up surge is smoothed out; spread out over time. The inverter no longer complains and the generator can start it in "economy" mode! I also noticed the fridge compressor runs quieter. Very happy with the purchase.

I have a 14 yr old Maytag (GE) fridge freezer that has been replaced with a nice shiny new LG and now sit in the basement as an "overflow" fridge for holidays and our Costco expeditions.The compressor overload relay burned out and I wasn't prepared to spend the amount of money being asked for that part on this old fridge. Then I came across mention of this capacitor relay kit for 1/4 the price of that burned out relay.The fridge works and I'm delighted. I'm not an electrician but am a keen hobbyist and this item was easy to fit just be aware that the connections on the compressor may be inverted from those depicted on the directions in which case you have to make sure you wire correctly.

Worked as described. Best money I've spent this year! My old 40 year old basement fridge gave up. I nearly went out and wasted my money on a new one. The "3 n One" saved me buying another fridge. If your fridge keeps trying to start and can't, this is a cheap fix. Open the door and watch. If you have no cold, and the light keeps momentarily dimming or flickering every 30 seconds or so, the starting circuit could be bad. This handy and cheap fix could be all you need. Anybody can install it. Go on You Tube and see for yourself.

I bought a condo and it has a Frigidaire refrigerator, not the prettiest thing but it worked perfectly. One day I came home from work with some ice cream and when I opened the freezer it obviously wasn’t cold and the ice was almost completely melted, and the fridge part was warm, too. Figures that it happened 4 days after I had went shopping and stocked up on a bunch of frozen stuff.I looked at the tag inside and it said it was manufactured in 2003, so it was about 14 years old. I looked online and saw that a replacement motor on it was about $300 for the part alone, so I figured I’d just buy a new one. But while looking all this up I came upon websites saying that it’s rarely the motor that goes out, but the more often it’s the capacitor or start switch, and it’s an easy, inexpensive fix. That made me look into things deeper. I read websites and watched YouTube videos and somewhere along the way found a link to this item. For less than $10 and free 2-day shipping with Prime, definitely worth a try before shelling out the cash for a new fridge.After I got the part I pulled my fridge out, unplugged it and took a look. I don’t really have any experience doing work like this, but at my old condo we had a brand new GE Profile fridge and over 10 years we had repaired at least 3 times at about $200 each repair. The mechanicals of my Frigidaire looked nothing like the videos I had seen. Most of them seemed to have the capacitor plugged into the motor with the start switch connected to it, but mind had the start switch connected further inside the fridge. Still, since I was going to get a new fridge if this didn’t work I figured what did I have to lose by trying?? So I did made my best guess and unhooked the start switch then pulled out the capacitor. Sure enough, just like the internet said when I shook the capacitor, I could hear the broken pieces inside rattling around. It took me about ten minutes to hook up the wires to the Supco all in one. I took a good look at everything to make sure all the connections looked good, then I plugged her in, went around front and turned the fridge to cold, and she started purring like a kitten. A few seconds later I could feel cold air blowing in both the fridge and freezer. It worked!!Some websites and videos said this should only be a temporary fix until you get the expensive replacement parts, but other said it’s fine to keep it permanently, so that’s what I’m doing. Three weeks in it’s still working perfectly. I can’t believe how inexpensive and easy it was to fix my own fridge! I’ve been telling friends and family about it ever since. I kind of hope that someone else’s fridge will break so I can look like a hero when I fix it for them. :-) Anyway, I definitely recommend this part and also that you watch videos and read websites because that helped me in a big way, both in confidence and seeing how different brands of fridge look different inside. Save your money and fix it yourself with this!!

We had the problem with our Whirlpool fridge where we could hear the fan running but it was just not getting cool. We had a repair guy come out and he found that the original relay had failed. He replaced it with this unit. Fast forward a couple of years, and our fridge was doing the same thing! We ordered this part from Amazon this time and voila, we have a working fridge again for only $12 instead of $200. It was easy to install because we just unhooked the one the repair guy put in one wire at a time. We also cleaned under our fridge and got a ton of dust out - fridge runs much better now! The only reason for the four stars is the unit only lasted a couple of years, but that could be due to our dirty fridge or our power supply??

I ordered this for a bottom freezer refrigerator that I was having compressor start problems with. I was preparing to buy a new fridge prior to finding and researching this start kit. The compressor had finally quit starting and running even after buying and installing a new oem starter for the fridge which was more expensive than this Supco kit. I had previously tested the ohms on the compressor and it checked out fine with no grounding at all to the compressor case from the pins. There are good videos on youtube on how to test your compressor and how to install this kit. I believed that my compressor just needed a stronger capacitor to start and once started it would run just fine so I took the chance and ordered this Supco start kit . I received and wired in the Supco start kit using the package instructions and the only difference was that my oem switch had three wires, two white and one blue. I wired the two white wires to one of the Supco wires and the blue wire to the other and the fridge started right away and ran just fine, I couldn't believe it. No buzzing, no humming or any other issues. Some say these are temporary fixes suggesting that the compressors are on their way out if they won't start with the oem started and others have installed and ran these for months or years on their refrigerators. I have been watching my fridge closely after since this installation and after two full days of running flawlessly I am of the opinion that this starter with its larger capacitor is more in line with the capacitor size that these refrigerators should have installed on them when new instead of the marginal sized capacitors on the oem switches. Before this fridge I had an older fridge that ran for over 25 years with no compressor problems and I did not have to change one part on it during that whole time. I have replaced the electronic board on this existing fridge after only 6 years and after 9 years now the compressor was not starting and the new oem part wasn't starting it either. They do not make them like they used to! Remember this is my opinion and of course I will wait and see how long this will last but the fridge hasn't missed a beat since the Supco was installed. Opinions, as you will find when you research this part vary greatly so you have to listen to all sides no matter how ridiculous some of them sound and decide. So far I have saved or extended the life of my almost 1100 dollar fridge and only time will tell. If it goes again then I will concede and buy a new fridge because compressor costs and the tools to change them are just too expensive. I will update if this fix last less than 6 months.Thanks for reading and good luck fixing your fridge. Update: 12/18/2014 This part is still working fine but my compressor finally bit the dust and won't run so I guess it was on it's way out when I first had the start issues. I did however, get an additional 3 months use out of the fridge using this part.
