Any ideas on where I would find an exact replacement relay from that time period? Also, is there a modern solid state relay-overload you would suggest and recommend as a replacement for that relay, and where could that be found? Is there a manufacturer and part number that you know of for that...

While waiting for instructions for direct wiring to the compressor, I had an idea. I wanted to actually see the relay working, so I took it apart. I wanted to get video of the relay armature engaging. I had the frig at a 45-degree angle leaning against the wall so I could access the relay and...

How do you direct wire to the compressor?

Frigidaire FPI-13B-62 Starting Capacitor Frigidaire FPI-13B-62, Starting capacitor was changed with BMI MARS 110-125 VAC 189-227MFD starting capacitor, see photos. Could not find a 120 Volt only starting capacitor, they all had a range listed. Changing the capacitor did not solve the issue. Got...

Started a Thread on the Starting Capacitor for a Frigidaire FPI-13B-62 and submitted today 8-19-2022. The starting capacitor information in one area was not correct, I listed "189 MED" but it actually reads "189 MFD". This seems to indicate the Microfarad rating. So, the actual info on the...
