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!!
Removing the old Kenmore parts and installing this part was a 5-minute job, required no soldering, or tools other than a screwdriver. I didn't have much expectation, but when I turned the circuit back on, the freezer immediately came back on. (Still can't believe that, TBH). The idea is that this is a temporary fix until you can get the original parts, but those parts are no longer available, so this is my only option - or get a new freezer. Will it last? Who knows? But the freezer has worked as per usual for 21 straight days now. If I only get a year out of this part (some claim they get many more than that), then I'm more plan happy with this purchase. Instead of an old freezer in the landfill, this part makes the day. (I understand that professionals carry these in their trucks to fix freezers, too.)
St. Charles IL 60174 (url: er.parts) and not the RCO410 from Sealed Unit Parts Co. Inc., 2230 Landmark Pl, Manasquan, NJ.
ERP410
This is about 6.3" X 2.1" and the leads are about 9" so make sure you have space and a plan.
Looks and works exactly like the RCO410 that was ordered. Maybe it's out of the same factory in China? The key difference is that this ERP410 is not UL recognized, where the SUPCO device is: MINUS a Star.
This is just a high-current over-load switch + PTC thermistor + Capacitor. There is no provision for motor temperature detection. Though this does have an overload switch it is likely much larger than what the compressors designers envisaged. For those reasons don't give up your existing overload/Thermal protector.
Nerdy stuff: Usually the failure of the both factory and these are from contacts in the PTC failing, resulting in non-uniform thermal stresses which fracture the barium titanate disk. Once that happens, the motor wont start and the thermal over-load switch cycles, heating the motor and thawing the food just a bit faster than if it were unplugged.
Hint 1: You can get an idea if your compressor is cooked by checking the coil resistances (see Youtube), and the resistance to the case (ground) should be infinity. If you have an insulation-resistance tester, even better.
Hint 2: Sometimes it's possible to disassemble the broken PTC, clean and tension the contacts and reassemble with the largest piece of disk so you have some time: This can last hours or days---or not at all.
Hint 3: Since these devices cannot sense the compressor's temperature and has a trip current that's probably much greater than the design intent of your compressor, it's best to connect this devices COMMON wire to your existing overload switch, which stays on the compressor. In my case I needed to crimp a 1/4" on to the COMMON lead of the device.
Like Supco, the wire that most workers would consider the input-side NEUTRAL is black, just like LINE. Easy enough to sort with an ohmmeter, if you are the fastidious sort. NEUTRAL is the side that has continuity with RUN.
Terminals are well crimped and they used 105 C, 600 V rated AWM wire. Though they hold to the compressor pins well, I prefer to add a couple layers of 105 C rated electrical tape over them, just in case. It comes with wire nuts for line and neutral and, since there may be some vibration, I prefer to tape over these too. There is a mounting tab suitable for a small Ty-Rap or a #4 or #5 screw but it can be easily drilled with a 9/64 bit for a #6 screw.
