SupcoRCO410 Start Kit

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!!

One of the best products ever made to have handy.

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.

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.
