Replacing a compressor start relay in a Frigidaire top-mount refrigerator

• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
• Pull the refrigerator away from the wall. Remove the screws from the rear compartment cover and then remove the cover.
• Pry off the wire retainer holding the start relay on the compressor. Disconnect the wire harness from the start relay. Pull the start relay and run capacitor off the compressor.
• Transfer the run capacitor from the old start relay to the new start relay. Plug the new start relay with capacitor into the compressor terminals. Plug the wire harness into the new start relay. Reinstall the wire retainer to hold the start relay on the compressor.
• Position the rear compartment cover on the back of the refrigerator and reinstall the mounting screws.
• Plug in the refrigerator and push the refrigerator back into place.

What to do when you see water under the crisper drawers of your Frigidaire top-mount refrigerator

When the freezer in a top-mount refrigerator defrosts, water drains down through a defrost tube into a drain pan and eventually evaporates. If the defrost drain tube is clogged with ice or gunk, the water can't drain down the tube. Instead, it collects in a puddle under the crisper drawers. Clearing the drain tube usually fixes the problem. Replace the drain tube if it's damaged or you can't clear a clog.

Water leaking from the water dispenser system can also wind up under the crisper drawers, so check water system tubing for leaks and replace any damaged tubes.
