That is the compressor! The control board compressor relay is stuck in the on position looks like an LG built Friedrich post the model number of the AC and I or someone else can help further. That relay can be replaced on the board if you or someone you know can solder and knows how to remove the AC and get to the board.

This is the part you need.

See that big black relay with the 1/4" spade terminals? That is the compressor relay that is stuck on in your unit.

A 24K BTU unit is worth fixing in my opinion does it still blow cold air? If so I would find a new board or fix the board in your unit if you or anyone you know can solder on a PCB.

That's an older A/C but definitely worth repairing. I would never pass up repairing a Friedrich appliance. Replacing the relay is not a walk in the park. Do you have any mechanically or electrically inclined friends. The A/C will need to be pulled from the wall and it will need to be taken apart for servicing.

The control board is OEM part # P67307677 and is currently out of stock and in short supply.




Your board will use one of these relays...........

I like to keep all related questions in the same thread.

Same function but those relays solder into the p.c. board. The footprint is different.
