It was worth a shot.
Although listed as identical replacement this capacitor was not an exact match. The 2 leads were too narrow in comparison making for a loose fit that I found unacceptable.For reference I was repairing a Frigidaire brand side by side fridge/freezer.

Replacement for original 180V 15uf cap. Works like it should, but check the start relay FIRST.
The start relay is easier to verify that it is bad and is more likely to be the problem than the capacitor is.Check the relay first -- I checked mine after ordering the capacitor and ended up changing both cap and relay.UNPLUG the refrigerator, take pictures with your phone if you need guidance to put it back together.The start relay plugs into the compressor unit and also connects to the capacitor. You may need to remove a cover first, then unplug it and shake it. If it rattles, that is probably your problem. It doesn't hurt to replace both, but it is unnecessary cost. A new relay (and a friendly, shiny, new capacitor) has the refrigerator humming...The original capacitor was 15uf, this replacement is 12uf -- that's totally fine for this purpose.Voltage doesn't need to be exact either, but should be 150% or so of the line input. The original was rated at 180 volts (120 * 1.5 == 180) and the new one is higher than that.Do-it-yourself fridge fix for $25 -- way less than the cost of calling a tech.Don't forget to take the chance to clean the evaporator coils...

Stopped my fridge from short cycling.
This was off by one part number from the actual part I needed but I couldn't find that part at all so I bought it hoping it would work for my Kenmore Elite. The run capacitor works just fine, but the metal clip that held the old one in place was too short, so I wired the part on. Again, not the fault of this part as it wasn't necessarily designed for my particular fridge. Anyway, the compressor stopped short cycling so it worked out for me. Arrived quickly and was safely packaged.

Worked as expected.
Worked as expected to get my refrigerator cooling again however it is larger than the old part so the original retain clip will not fit.

Worked as Advertised
Good DIY project. Saved just less than a 1,000. Definitely order the Control board that goes with this and change both.
