To avoid personal injury and/or property damage, it is important that Safe Servicing
Practices be observed. The following are some limited examples of safe practices:
1. DO NOT attempt a product repair if you have any doubts as to your ability to
complete it in a safe and satisfactory manner.
2. Before servicing or moving an appliance:
• Remove the power cord from the electrical outlet, trip the circuit breaker to the
OFF position, or remove the fuse.
• Turn off the gas supply.
• Turn off the water supply.
3. Never interfere with the proper operation of any safety device.
4. USE ONLY REPLACEMENT PARTS CATALOGED FOR THIS APPLIANCE.
SUBSTITUTIONS MAY DEFEAT COMPLIANCE WITH SAFETY
STANDARDS SET FOR HOME APPLIANCES.
5. GROUNDING: The standard color coding for safety ground wires is GREEN, or
GREEN with YELLOW STRIPES. Ground leads are not to be used as current
carrying conductors. It is EXTREMELY important that the service technician
reestablish all safety grounds prior to completion of service. Failure to do so will
create a hazard.
6. Prior to returning the product to service, ensure that:
• All electrical connections are correct and secure
• All electrical leads are properly dressed and secured away from sharp edges,
high-temperature components, and moving parts
• All non-insulated electrical terminals, connectors, heaters, etc. are adequately
spaced away from all metal parts and panels

Electrical Grounding
All refrigerators are equipped with a power supply
cord incorporating a three-prong grounding
plug and a ground wire which is attached to the
refrigerator cabinet for protection against shock
hazard. Each electrical component is either cabinet
mounted or connected through a ground wire
to the cabinet to complete the ground. Certain
components, such as defrost timers, may be
double insulated and do not require a ground wire.
Ensure the electrical wall receptacle is of the three
prong type and is properly grounded in accordance
withtheNationalElectricalCodeand/orlocal
codes.
Compressor Electrical
Components and Circuits
The new series of very high efficiency compres-
sor is equipped with all new electrical components
consisting of a solid state PTC relay with a thermal-
ly operated overload protector, and a run capacitor.
See Figure C1.
Figure C1
Solid State Relay
The solid state relay has no moving parts. It
consists of a PTC resistor mounted in a plastic
case with appropriate terminals. PTC (Positive
Temperature Coefficient) simply denotes a resistor
which increases in resistance as its temperature is
increased. The self-heating PTC resistor used in
the solid state relay has the unique characteristic
of changing from low to very high resistance very
abruptly, thus serving as an on-off switch. (See
Figure C3.)
The solid state relay plugs directly onto the
compressor start and run terminals. (See Figure 2.)
Relay terminals 1, 2, and 5 are connected within
the relay, as are terminals 3 and 6.
A run capacitor is connected to relay terminals
2 and 3, so it is connected in parallel with the
PTC resistor. One side of the 120 VAC power is
connected to relay terminal 1. The other side of line
is connected to the overload protector. (See figure
C3.)
Figure C2
Figure C3
NOTE
There are 2 exploded views (Cabinet and
System) at the end of this section to assist you in
troubleshooting.

6.  Useohmmetertocheckresistancebetween
terminals 5 and 6. Resistance should be 3
to 12 ohms at normal room temperature.
Shorted relay will read 0 ohms. Open relay
will read very high or infinite resistance.
7. If ohm readings are out of range, replace
relay.
8. Reverse this procedure to re-assemble.
Overload Protector
The overload protector is completely thermally
operated. It will open from excessive heat or
current.Unlikeprioroverloads,theinternalbi-
metal is not self-heating, and is not a part of the
electrical circuit. The overload has a small built-in
coil heater that is in series with the compressor
start and run windings (See Figure C3).
NOTE
When replacing leads to the PTC relay, ensure
locking tabs snap into terminal.
To Check/Replace The Overload
Protector
1. Disconnect electrical supply to refrigerator.
2. Remove bale wire holding relay to
compressor.
3. Remove relay assembly from compressor.
4.  Useatheadedscrewdrivertogentlypry

Overload protector should have less
than 1 ohm of resistance at normal room
temperature.
7. If ohm readings are out of range, install new
Starter/Overload Assembly. See Figure 2.
8. Reverse this procedure to re-assemble.
NOTE
When replacing leads to the PTC relay, ensure
locking tabs snap into terminal.
Run Capacitor
The run capacitor has permanently attached
terminals which are connected to relay terminals 2
and 3.
NOTE
Some models are not equipped with a run
capacitor.
To Check/Replace The Run Capacitor
1. Disconnect electrical supply to refrigerator.
2. Remove bale wire holding relay to
compressor.
2.  Usesmall,at-bladedscrewdriverto

7. Reverse procedures to re-assemble.

14 C - Electrical Components / Operation
Compressor Start Circuit
When the compressor circuit is first energized, the
solid state relay has low resistance (3-12 ohms),
and both the run and start windings are energized
to start the compressor. The run capacitor is being
bypassed by the relay, and it has a minor function
during compressor starting (See Figure C4).
Figure C4
Compressor Run Circuit
When the self-heating solid state relay has reached
sufficient temperature, it will abruptly change from
low resistance (3-12 ohms) to very high resistance
(10-20Kohms)and,ineffect,switchesoffthestart
windings.
The relay no longer shunts the run capacitor.
The run capacitor is now in series with the start
windings. The only purpose of the run capacitor
is to improve compressor operating efficiency,
which it does by correcting the power factor of the
compressor motor (See Figure C5).
Figure C5
Compressor Operating
Characteristics
•  Whenthecompressorelectricalcircuitis
energized, the start winding current causes
the relay to heat and switch off the start
winding circuit.
NOTE
The relay will switch off the start winding circuit
even though the compressor has not started
(as when attempting to re-start after momentary
power interruption).
•  Withanopenrelay,thecompressorwillnot
start since there is little or no current to the
start windings. The overload protector will
open due to high locked rotor run winding
current.
•  Withashortedrelayorcapacitor,the
compressor will start, and the overload
protector will open.
•  Withanopenorweakcapacitor,the
compressor will start and run. The
compressor, however, will be operating at
reduced efficiency of energy usage.
•  Ifthecompressorcasinggetstoohot,it
will shut down on the overload. After the
compressor has cooled down, the overload
will reset and the compressor will restart.
•  Inrearmountedcompressors,theoverload
will cycle the compressor on and off if the
refrigerator is set in so tight that the air can’t
circulate around the condenser. In air cooled
condensers, the overload will cut the unit off
if the condenser becomes blocked or the fan
motor stops running.
•  Theoverloadprotectorisdesignedand
calibrated to open the compressor electrical
circuit with locked rotor run winding current
on.

15
C - Electrical Components / Operation
Compressor Electrical Check
If the compressor will not run, make a voltage
check across the power lead terminals on the PTC
Relay. (See Figure C5.)
The voltmeter should show line voltage if the
thermostat knob is in normal operating position and
not in the OFF position. If this check does not show
a live circuit, the control thermostat and defrost
timer wiring should be checked for loose and/or
broken connections.
A control thermostat check can be made by using
a piece of wire as a temporary bridge across two
thermostat terminals. If the compressor starts and
runs with the bridge, the control thermostat is at
fault and should be replaced.
If the voltage check shows power supply at the
PTC Relay terminals, use a test cord to check the
compressor.
If the compressor does not start and run with the
test cord, check the line voltage to see if there is
more than 10% variation from the rated voltage. If
voltage is correct and the compressor will not start
and run, replace the compressor.
If the compressor starts and runs with the test cord,
replace the PTC Relay.

NOTICE
Instructions given here are furnished as a guide.
Persons attempting to use these instructions to
make repairs to the sealed refrigeration system
should have a working knowledge of refrigeration
and previous training on sealed system repair,
and an EPA certification for servicing refrigeration
systems.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
EffectiveJuly1,1992,theUnitedStatesclean
air act governs the disposal of refrigerants such
as R-134a. Therefore, when discharging or
purging the sealed system use an epa approved
refrigerant recovery system as outlined in the final
rule on the protection of stratospheric ozone and
refrigerant recycling, which was published in the
Federal Register May 14, 1993.
NOTE
Frigidaire does not permit the use of recovered
refrigerant in the servicing of our products for
in-warranty and out-of-warranty repairs or for
products covered by service contracts. Therefore,
only new refrigerant or refrigerant that has
been reclaimed back to new specifications by a
refrigerant manufacturer is to be used.
Definitions
Recovery:
To remove refrigerant in any condition from a
system and store it in an external container without
necessarily testing or processing it in any way.
Recycling:
To clean refrigerant for reuse by oil separation and
single or multiple passes through devices, such
as replaceable core filter-driers, which reduce
moisture, acidity and particulate matter. This term
usually applies to procedures implemented at the
field job site or at a local service shop.
Reclaim:
To reprocess refrigerant to new product
specifications by means which may include
distillation. Will require chemical analysis of the
refrigerant to determine that appropriate product
specifications are met. This term usually implies the
use of processes or procedures available only at a
reprocessing or manufacturing facility.
Safety Warnings
Compressor Testing
Whenever testing a compressor, extreme caution
should be used to prevent damaging the terminals.
A compressor with a damaged terminal or a
grounded winding can expel a terminal from
its insulated housing when the compressor is
energized. If this happens, a mixture of refrigerant
and oil will be released that could be ignited by
an external heat source (open flame, heater,
etc.). Also, if there is air in the system when this
happens, a spark at the compressor shell could
ignite the refrigerant and oil mixture.
Charging Sealed Systems
Overcharging a refrigeration system with refrigerant
can be dangerous. If the overcharge is sufficient
to immerse the major parts of the motor and
compressor in liquid refrigerant, a situation has
been created which, when followed by a sequence
of circumstances can lead to the compressor shell
seam separating.
A hydraulic block occurs, preventing the
compressor from starting. This condition is known
as locked rotor. Electric current continues to flow
through the compressor motor windings which
become, in effect, electric resistance heaters.
The heat produced begins to vaporize the excess
refrigerant liquid causing a rapid increase in
system pressure. If the compressor protective
devices fail, the pressure within the system may
rise to extremes far in excess of the design limits.
Undertheseconditions,theweldseamaround
the compressor shell can separate with explosive
force, spewing oil and refrigerant vapor which could
ignite.
To eliminate this exceedingly rare but potential
hazard, never add refrigerant to a sealed system. If
refrigerant is required, evacuate the existing charge
and recharge with the correct measured amount of
the refrigerant specified for the system.
