Justin C May 12, 2020 for Model Number 3ARR51F1F1 The part is discontinued 3ARR51F1F1. But if this is indeed a hard start kit it should consist of 2 things a relay and a capacitor. If i can find out what kind of relay is used and what microfarad capacitor i should be able to make one of these hard start kits from scratch. Correct me if im wrong. Any info helps thanks in advance. Where are my hvacr guys at.
1 Answer Hello Justin, the manufacturer has not supplied that information, as far as the "3 in 1 " hard start kit, it is part TJ90URCO810. Read More...

M.W. June 14, 2014 for Model Number Frigidaire Freezer How do I remove the wires (N) and (L) from the controller to replace it?
1 Answer Hello M.W., You need a long screwdriver or small drill bit to slide into the opening alongside the connector. This style connector has a tab that protrudes from the side of the connector on one side that, when depressed, will unlock and release the connector from the spade in the start device. This seems complicated but, when you slide something in there and it presses this tab, the connector will slide off with no opposition. Read More...
Billy February 04, 2014 for Model Number Frigidaire MFC13M4FW3 Hello, I have a Frigidaire chest freezer Mod. # MFC13M4FW3. I have determined that the 216649301 controller on the compressor is bad. Another part number for it seems to be AP2113677 (found online). This particular controller is no longer being manufactured and I cannot get the part! While searching for the part, I noticed that there are several other controllers that look physically identical. I haven't checked their availability, but most of them seem to be for refrigerators, not freezers. Will one of these other controllers work in place of the 216649301 controller? If so, which would be the best to use? My otherwise perfect freezer is dead without a controller ...help! Thanks, Billy
1 Answer Hello Billy! I've found different part numbers for your appliance than what is listed in your inquiry. Unfortunately, the relay 216008900 and 216100114 have both been discontinued for your model. The capacitor however, is available as part number 5304464438. Thanks! Read More...
Shawn F August 25, 2013 for Model Number MFU14M2GW1 I have a Frigidaire upright freezer. Been off for 2 or 3 months. Turned it on and it ran for a few seconds then shut off. Unplug and plug back in it does the same. Looked in back and noticed the controller (216649301) was melted a bit on the bottom and smelled burnt. Is this my problem or did another part cause this on to go bad?
1 Answer Shawn, Yes, if the controller has a melted spot and the unit makes a clicking noise when trying to start then the controller is faulty and needs to be replaced. Read More...
Bill C July 07, 2013 for Model Number FFU11FK2AW2 This is an old Frigidaire upright freezer that has started to run continuously. It keeps the temperature below zero, but doesn't shut off. Would this be something I could repair myself ? The The door seal seems to be good yet. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
1 Answer Bill, If the unit is set lower than the mid point and the unit is getting below zero degrees then the thermostat would most likely be the cause of the unit running too long of a period. Read More...
Roy A. T February 16, 2013 Control assembly is burned badly. Is the compressor the only possible problem or could it have been damaged by lighting? How can I check the compressor with an ohmeter?
1 Answer Hello Roy, You can do a resistance check across the start to common, run to common and start to run pins on the compressor. The numbers you get from start to common and run to common should almost equal that of start to run. You can also go each pin to ground. Lighting can cause the overload to burn out and also it can go out by constant power surges. Read More...
Jim A. November 09, 2012 for Model Number F81C13M3W1 I have a Frigidaire freezer F81C13M3W1 that clicks, starts running, runs a few seconds & then stops. How do I figure out if it is the capacitor, controller, temperature control or compressor? thanks Jim
1 Answer Hello Jim, This is the start device 216649301. To verify, remove the start device from the side of the compressor and shake it. If it's good, it won't rattle. If it's bad, it will sound like a lot of little pieces are loose inside the device. Read More...
