Hey fellas, Please help me out. I have a mini-fridge that is fairly new in my fairly new garage. Let's say the electricians did a hack job. Recently it rained and there was a power issue here. One of my wall plugs didn't work, so I went to the circuit breaker and clicked each one on and off and it did the trick. Every equipment in the garage works fine but the Frigidaire coldness stopped working, and no cold air is comming out, the fan works, but I assume I Fudged it up when I clicked the circuit breakers and probably broke the fuse or relay/capacitor in the fridge. So, I read that someone also had this problem and used a supco rco410. So, I took off the units off the Cubigel compressor unit: (A1H6 Cubigel SA) #1. (a round black toggle switch base like thing: Black wire on top, Grey Spade on bottom) #2. (a white rectangular cube with 3 male spade connectors which these wires are on them ( Brown, White, blue) This unit plugs into the Cubigel's 3 round pins sticking out of the compressor. So I assume the #1 is a relay and the white cube is the capacitor. So if I repalce #1 and #2 with the SupCo RCO410, then it should work? =================================================== Kinda confused about this, I don't know what or where the RUN/ START/ COMMON POINTS ARE:If you are using the "Supco RCO-410" the wiring is as follows: 1. Red wire with terminal goes to the Run 2 . Black wire with terminal goes to the Start 3.White wire with terminal goes to Common
4. Two remaining Black wires get tied into line cord and capped with wire nuts provided in kit. IF MR. ICE could just use RED, BLACK, WHITE, with correspondence to my color codes. Thank you! And reading my story, is this the problem??? Sorry for the Noobness, I am a car guy and mechanically inclined but electrically illiterate. =) Thank you in advance.

If you have a digital ohmeter I can help! If not, you will need to get one to put this start device in.

Can you measure ohms that will determine resistance of say a one or two ohm resistor. In other words, if you had a one and a two ohm reisitor, could you identify which is which. Usually, only a digital meter can do that.

Without a good meter it's best to replace the compressor start device if it's bad. If you shake it and it rattles, it's bad. Your model # given fails to work, re-check it and call this parts site and order the factory replacement start device.

Your model # given fails to work, re-check it and call this parts site and order the factory replacement start device. FRT04L5DM0 is is correct. It is older model and probably taken over by: FRTC03L5DM or FRT04gm. i will buy the Supco RC410 and please help me hook it up. Thank you.

There is no RC410, but a RC0410, a 3n1 start device I would not recomend to my worst enemy.
Order a UR041 if you can't get the factory part

Put in search "are 3n1 relays that bad?" and check my comments.
