5304499966 – Genuine OEM Frigidaire Refrigerator Relay & Overload Kit

The 5304499966 is a Genuine OEM compressor start relay and overload protection kit designed for select Frigidaire refrigerators and refrigeration appliances. This critical electrical component helps initiate compressor operation while protecting the compressor motor from overheating and electrical overload conditions. It is commonly used across compatible Frigidaire-built appliances, including select Electrolux, White Westinghouse, Gibson, Kelvinator, Kenmore, and Tappan refrigerator models.

Manufactured to original Frigidaire factory specifications, the 5304499966 relay and overload kit ensures reliable compressor startup, consistent cooling performance, and safe compressor protection. If your refrigerator is failing to cool, clicking repeatedly, or struggling to start the compressor, replacing this genuine OEM kit often resolves the issue.

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

What Does the 5304499966 Relay & Overload Kit Do?

The relay and overload kit performs two essential compressor functions inside your refrigerator:

  • Starts the compressor motor by delivering the necessary electrical boost during startup

  • Protects the compressor by shutting down power if overheating or excessive current draw occurs

This part is vital for proper refrigeration system operation. If the relay or overload protector fails, the compressor may not start properly, preventing your refrigerator from cooling.

Because this is an OEM Frigidaire electrical component, it is manufactured to exact voltage, resistance, and performance specifications required for safe operation and long-term reliability.

Using the correct OEM replacement helps ensure:

  • Proper compressor startup performance

  • Safe overload protection

  • Reduced compressor wear

  • Reliable refrigerator cooling

  • Correct electrical compatibility

Common Symptoms Indicating Replacement

A failed refrigerator relay and overload kit can cause several noticeable cooling issues, including:

  • Refrigerator not cooling

  • Freezer warming up unexpectedly

  • Repeated clicking sounds from rear compressor area

  • Compressor attempts to start then shuts off

  • Compressor hums briefly but fails to run

  • Refrigerator cycles off unexpectedly

  • Interior temperature rising despite power being on

  • Burning smell or visible relay damage

Many appliance repair technicians identify repeated clicking followed by compressor shutdown as a common symptom of relay or overload failure. Community repair reports also note that OEM relay replacement frequently restores cooling when compressor windings test good.

Replacing the 5304499966 relay and overload kit often restores normal compressor operation if the compressor itself is still functional.

Compatibility Guidance

The 5304499966 relay and overload kit is designed for Frigidaire refrigeration appliances, including compatible models manufactured under related Frigidaire-owned brands.

Before ordering, verify your appliance’s complete model number to ensure compatibility. Refrigerator model numbers are typically located inside the fresh food compartment along the side wall or frame.
