Refrigerator Not Cooling? Compressor with Clip 5304537072 – Restore Cooling Fast

If your Frigidaire refrigerator is running but not cooling, the compressor is the most likely cause. In Frigidaire and Electrolux-built refrigerators, a failed compressor stops the sealed system from circulating refrigerant entirely. When it fails, the fridge and freezer warm up, the compressor may run hot and cycle off on thermal overload, or it may not start at all. ⚡ Common failure point in Frigidaire-built bottom-freezer and side-by-side refrigerators. Part 5304537072 is the genuine OEM compressor assembly with mounting clip — a direct-fit replacement that restores full cooling performance without modification.

❓ Is This the Right Part?

This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:

• ✔ Refrigerator powers on and runs — fans spin, lights work
• ✔ Evaporator fan is running (airflow present in freezer)
• ✔ Refrigerant charge confirmed OK or system is being fully serviced
• ✔ Start relay and overload protector have been tested and ruled out
• ✔ ONLY problem is compressor not starting or not pumping — no cooling at all

🔧 Common Symptoms

• Refrigerator not cooling — fridge and freezer both warm
• Compressor hums briefly then clicks off (thermal overload tripping)
• Compressor does not start at all — no vibration at back of unit
• Compressor runs continuously but no temperature drop
• Clicking sound every few minutes from back of refrigerator
• Freezer slowly warming over 24–48 hours despite unit running

✔ If these symptoms match, this is the most likely failed component in the sealed system.

✔ In most cases, replacing the compressor restores full cooling performance immediately after system recharge.
