XPARTCO 297259515 Refrigerator Start Relay & 297286803 Capacitor The XPARTCO 297259515 kit bundles the compressor start relay and the matching run capacitor for Frigidaire, Kenmore, Crosley, Kelvinator, Gibson, Tappan, and Westinghouse refrigerators and freezers. These two components mount together at the compressor and work as a team every time the compressor cycles on: the start relay delivers the initial electrical boost needed to get the compressor's start winding moving, and the run capacitor helps the compressor motor start and run efficiently once it's going. Because they sit side by side on the same compressor terminals and tend to be diagnosed together, replacing both at once is the standard, most reliable fix rather than gambling on which single component has failed. The classic failure symptom for this pair is unmistakable: a repeated clicking sound from the compressor area as the relay tries and fails to start the compressor, paired with a refrigerator and freezer that are both running too warm because the compressor never actually starts. Real-world repair accounts back this up — technicians troubleshooting a clicking-but-not-starting compressor commonly find both the start relay and run capacitor bad at the same time, which is exactly why they're sold together as a kit. It directly replaces, for the relay: 297259502, 297259510, PS11728176, 4378266, AP5986809, EAP11728176; and for the capacitor: AP5306470, 216985001, 297286804, 1465079, 1940424, 215329902, 218909915, 7216985001, 7218909915, AH3495561, EA3495561, PS3495561, and EAP3495561. Quick Answer The XPARTCO 297259515 Refrigerator Start Relay & Capacitor Kit fixes Frigidaire, Kenmore, Crosley, Kelvinator, Gibson, Tappan, and Westinghouse refrigerators and freezers that won't start cooling, run too warm in both compartments, or make a repeated clicking sound from the compressor area. Includes start relay (297259515) and run capacitor (297286803). Capacitors store a dangerous electrical charge even after power is disconnected — always discharge before handling. What's In The Kit Component Part Number Function Compressor Start Relay 297259515 Delivers the initial electrical boost that kickstarts the compressor's start winding, then switches out once the compressor is running. Compressor Run Capacitor 297286803 15 µF, helps the compressor motor start and run efficiently once the relay has engaged it. Common Problems This Kit Fixes Refrigerator won't start cooling at all Fresh food and freezer compartments both running too warm Repeated clicking sound coming from the compressor area Compressor hums but never actually starts running Refrigerator cycling on and off repeatedly without ever cooling properly Refrigerator that stops suddenly during normal operation No cooling despite the refrigerator otherwise appearing to have power Cross Reference Information Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models.

Before installing, check the voltage printed directly on your original capacitor's body and confirm the new capacitor's printed rating matches or exceeds it. We're not publishing a single voltage figure here rather than risk stating the wrong one — contact our support team if you'd like help confirming the correct rating for your model. Installation Notes ⚠️ Danger — The Run Capacitor Stores A Dangerous Electrical Charge Shut off power to the refrigerator at the outlet before beginning. The run capacitor stores an electrical charge even after power has been disconnected, and that charge can deliver a serious shock. Before touching the capacitor's terminals, discharge it by shorting the two terminals together using an insulated-handle screwdriver, or a proper capacitor discharge tool with a resistor. Never short the terminals with a bare metal tool held with your bare hand. ⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting — Both Components Mount To The Compressor Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning, and move perishable food to a cooler for the duration of the repair. Shut off the water supply as well if your model has an ice maker or water dispenser. Wear work gloves and safety glasses. Have an assistant help pull the refrigerator away from the wall for access to the rear panel. Locate the compressor in the machine compartment at the back or bottom of the unit, and find the start relay and run capacitor mounted directly to its terminals. Photograph the wiring and orientation of both components before removing anything. After confirming the capacitor is fully discharged, disconnect the old relay and capacitor from the compressor terminals, noting each terminal position. Install the new 297259515 relay and 297286803 capacitor from this kit in the same orientation, seating each firmly onto the correct compressor terminals. Reassemble any panels or retainers you removed, restore the water supply if applicable, and push the refrigerator back into place. Restore power and monitor the refrigerator over the next few hours to confirm the compressor starts reliably and both compartments begin cooling. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver or socket, 1/2" wrench or adjustable wrench, needle nose pliers, flat-head screwdriver, insulated-handle screwdriver or capacitor discharge tool, work gloves, safety glasses. Frequently Asked Questions Do I really need both the relay and the capacitor, or could just one be bad? Either could technically be the sole cause, but in practice, technicians troubleshooting a compressor that clicks but won't start commonly find both the start relay and run capacitor have failed together — they sit on the same terminals under the same electrical stress every time the compressor cycles. Replacing both at once avoids having to open the compressor compartment a second time if the remaining original part fails shortly after. I hear a repeated clicking sound from the back of my refrigerator, but it's not cooling. Is this the kit I need? Yes, this is a textbook symptom for this exact pair of components. The clicking is the sound of the relay repeatedly attempting to engage the compressor's start winding and failing, often because the run capacitor isn't providing the boost the compressor needs to actually get moving. If both compartments are also warm, that confirms the compressor isn't starting at all. Why doesn't this listing state a single voltage rating for the capacitor? We found genuinely conflicting information across manufacturer-facing sources for this specific capacitor — some list it at 120V, others at 250V — and we'd rather flag that honestly than publish a number we can't fully verify. Before installing, check the rating printed directly on your original capacitor's body, and contact our support team if you'd like help confirming the correct value for your model. My refrigerator stopped suddenly during normal operation. Could this kit be the cause? Yes, a failing run capacitor or start relay can cause a refrigerator to stop suddenly, not just fail to start from cold. If your unit was running fine and then abruptly stopped cooling, checking these two components at the compressor is a reasonable next step alongside checking for tripped breakers or other obvious causes. Is this an OEM or aftermarket kit? This is an aftermarket replacement kit built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Frigidaire OEM kit, but each component is manufactured to match the electrical specifications and terminal fit of the original 297259515 start relay and 297286803 run capacitor used in compatible Frigidaire, Kenmore, Crosley, Kelvinator, Gibson, Tappan, and Westinghouse refrigerators and freezers.

XPARTCO W10613606 Refrigerator Compressor Start Relay and Capacitor The XPARTCO W10613606 is an aftermarket replacement compressor start relay and capacitor assembly compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Jenn-Air, Admiral, Crosley, Dacor, Hardwick, Inglis, Litton, and Magic Chef refrigerators. The start relay is a small but critical electrical component that plugs directly onto the compressor terminals and provides the initial power surge needed to start the compressor motor. Once the compressor reaches operating speed, the relay drops out — leaving the compressor to run on its own. The capacitor (rated 15µF ±5%, 250VAC) works alongside the relay to store and release the burst of electrical energy needed on startup. When the start relay fails, the compressor cannot start — causing the refrigerator to stop cooling entirely. A failed relay typically produces a clicking sound every few minutes as the compressor tries and fails to start, followed by a short rest, then another attempt. This kit includes both the start relay and the CBB61 capacitor. It directly replaces W10416065, 8208290, 8208368, C8931605, 67003186, 67005560, 67005561, 67005562, 67003764, 8171210, and several additional cross-reference numbers. Installs in under 15 minutes — no tools required in most cases.

Move the refrigerator away from the wall to access the rear or lower back panel. Remove the rear access panel by unscrewing the retaining screws to expose the compressor. The compressor is a large black dome-shaped component — the start relay and capacitor assembly plugs onto the side terminals. Grip the old relay firmly and pull it straight off the compressor pins. Shake it — if it rattles, the internal contacts have failed and replacement is confirmed. Compare the old relay to the new W10613606 to confirm the terminal layout matches. Align the new relay with the compressor pins and press it firmly on. Reinstall the access panel, restore power, and listen for the compressor to start and run normally within a few minutes. Note: Some models may require trimming the wire connector tabs or reversing the connector orientation for a proper fit — do not force the connection. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver (for panel access only). Frequently Asked Questions What does the compressor start relay do? The start relay plugs onto the compressor terminals and provides the brief but powerful surge of electrical current needed to start the compressor motor from a standstill. Once the compressor reaches operating speed — usually within a second or two — the relay drops out and the compressor runs on its own. Without a working start relay, the compressor cannot start at all, and the refrigerator stops cooling. The capacitor works alongside the relay to store and deliver the extra energy needed on startup. How do I know if my start relay has failed? The most reliable quick test is the rattle test: unplug the refrigerator, pull the start relay off the compressor, and shake it near your ear. A working relay is silent. A failed relay will rattle — the internal contacts have broken free and are loose inside the casing. Another sign is a repeated clicking sound every 2–5 minutes from the back of the refrigerator, where the compressor attempts to start, fails, trips the overload protector, rests, and tries again. If the fridge is warm and you hear clicking, check the relay first. What is the difference between the start relay and the capacitor? The start relay is the switching device that connects and disconnects the start winding of the compressor motor during startup. The capacitor stores a charge and releases it during startup to give the motor the additional torque it needs to get moving under load. Together they work as a startup system for the compressor. This kit includes both — replacing both at the same time ensures the complete startup circuit is fresh and reliable. My fridge is still not cooling after replacing the start relay — what else could it be? If replacing the start relay does not restore cooling, other possible causes include a failed compressor (the compressor runs but no longer builds pressure), a refrigerant leak in the sealed system, a failed start capacitor (if not replaced along with the relay), a bad overload protector, or a faulty main control board. Listen carefully after installing the new relay — if the compressor now starts and runs but the fridge still doesn't cool after several hours, a sealed system issue or refrigerant problem is likely and will require a certified technician.
