5304491944 – Genuine OEM Frigidaire Refrigerator Relay & Overload Kit

The 5304491944 is a Genuine OEM compressor start component designed for select Frigidaire refrigerators and compatible Electrolux-manufactured brands. This relay and overload kit helps start and protect the refrigerator compressor by delivering the initial electrical boost needed for startup while protecting against overheating and electrical overload conditions. It is commonly used in Frigidaire, White-Westinghouse, Kelvinator, Gibson, Tappan, Electrolux, and select Kenmore refrigerator models.

If your refrigerator will not start, makes repeated clicking sounds, or is no longer cooling properly, replacing the 5304491944 relay and overload kit often restores normal compressor operation and cooling performance.

Available from Appliance Kingdom with fast Canada-wide shipping for homeowners, landlords, and professional appliance repair technicians.

What Does the 5304491944 Relay & Overload Kit Do?

The relay and overload assembly is mounted directly to the refrigerator compressor.

It performs two critical functions:

• Starts the compressor motor by supplying the required electrical startup current

• Protects the compressor by shutting power off if overheating or electrical overload occurs

This protection helps prevent compressor damage and supports safe refrigerator operation.

Because this component directly controls compressor startup, OEM precision is essential. A genuine Frigidaire replacement ensures proper voltage handling, startup timing, thermal protection, and long-term compressor reliability.

A failing relay or overload kit can prevent the compressor from running, leaving the refrigerator unable to cool properly.

Common Symptoms Indicating Replacement

A failed 5304491944 relay and overload kit commonly causes:

• Refrigerator not cooling

• Compressor will not start

• Repeated clicking noises from rear of refrigerator

• Compressor attempts to start then shuts off

• Intermittent cooling performance

• Refrigerator warm while lights and fans still operate

• Burning smell near compressor area

• Refrigerator cycles off unexpectedly

In many cases, replacing this kit resolves compressor startup failures. However, if compressor windings are damaged or seized, additional repair may be required. Community troubleshooting often confirms that relay replacement is the first recommended repair when clicking and startup failure symptoms are present.
