The load capacity (CL) is the effective series equivalent electrostatic capacity seen from both terminals of the quartz crystal unit to the oscillating circuit. The operating frequency will be determined by the quartz crystal unit and the load capacity.

For this reason, when the load capacitance of the quartz crystal unit fails to agree with the circuit you intend to use, it will cause frequency change.
