Parts for Crosley CT17A2A: 01 - Compressor Parts

This PTC start relay mounts on the compressor and briefly powers its start winding to get it running, then drops out. Replacing a weak relay can restore reliable starts and resolve clicking/humming with no cooling.

• Provides the initial boost to the compressor via a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) element, then opens as it heats
• Takes the start winding out of the circuit once the compressor is running
• Typical failure symptoms: compressor won't start, repeated clicking/humming, no cooling, visible heat damage at the relay or connector
• Direct replacement for the original PTC start device used on applicable models

• Disconnect power before servicing; allow hot components to cool
• Access the compressor compartment, remove the cover, and note the relay's orientation; pull the old relay straight off the compressor pins
• Inspect wiring terminals for heat damage; do not reuse burnt connectors
• Firmly seat the new relay on the compressor terminals, reinstall the cover, restore power, and verify compressor start

This overload protector is a safety device that mounts on the compressor and opens the circuit if overheating or excessive current is detected. Replacing a failed protector can help restore reliable compressor start-up and protect the motor from damage.

• Monitors compressor temperature/current and interrupts power during an overload condition
• Helps prevent compressor overheating and winding damage
• Common symptoms: refrigerator not cooling, compressor won't start, clicking or humming then shutting off, repeated cycling from the rear machine compartment
• Visible heat damage or a burnt odor at the start device area may indicate failure

• Disconnect power before servicing; work in a well-ventilated area
• Access the rear machine compartment; remove the cover to reach the compressor start assembly
• Note wire positions and orientation; the overload fits on the compressor terminal alongside the start device/relay—seat it fully and securely
• Inspect connectors for heat damage and ensure tight, clean terminals before restoring power

This OEM Replacement Part is a high-quality, 2-watt condenser fan motor for Whirlpool refrigerators.The motor is designed to optimize your refrigerator's cooling performance. This 115-volt motor operates with a clockwise rotation.  

Symptoms of a bad condenser fan motor kit include:

• Gradual rise in interior freezer temperatures
• Inability to maintain consistent cooling performance  
• Loud buzzing or grinding noises coming from inside
• Tripped breakers or failure to restart after service

Causes stem from normal wear of ball bearings as the high-efficiency motor operates continuously. Exposure to dust or debris introduced through openings accelerates wear over many years of use.

This OEM part is also compatible with brands including Kenmore, KitchenAid, and Danby.

This condenser fan blade is the rotating plastic blade that moves air across the condenser coils to help remove heat from the refrigerator. Replacing a damaged blade restores proper airflow for more consistent cooling. What it does:

• Spins on the condenser fan motor to circulate air over condenser coils
• Helps dissipate heat so the compressor and fridge run efficiently
• Can cause reduced cooling or higher temperatures if broken or missing

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any service
• Inspect the fan motor shaft and mounting for wear; replace motor if shaft is damaged
• Handle the blade carefully to avoid cracking; ensure blade is seated and secured before testing

This is a replacement mounting screw for securing appliance components and panels. It restores proper fastening where a missing or stripped screw causes loose parts or rattling. What it does:

• Fastens panels, brackets, or small components to restore secure attachment
• Prevents vibration and rattling caused by loose or missing fasteners
• Replaces stripped or lost factory screws to maintain original fit
• Matches OEM fit for the specific mounting location when the part number is specified

• Use the matching screw location and size specified by the parts diagram
• Hand-start threads to avoid cross-threading; tighten securely but do not overtighten
• Disconnect power to the appliance before removing panels or components
• If threads are damaged, replace with correct OEM screw—do not force a mismatched fastener

The Nut is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This small yet essential component is used to secure various parts of the refrigerator, such as shelves, panels, or brackets, ensuring stability and proper alignment. Its durable design ensures reliable performance in the demanding environment of a refrigerator.

Causes of a bad or missing Nut can include wear over time, accidental stripping of threads, or loss during maintenance or repairs. A damaged or missing nut can lead to loose components and reduced functionality.

Symptoms of a bad or missing Nut include:

• Loose or wobbly shelves, brackets, or panels
• Difficulty keeping refrigerator components securely in place
• Rattling or unusual noises during operation

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

This bracket grommet cushions a component where it mounts to a bracket in your refrigerator. It isolates metal-to-metal contact to reduce vibration and rattling and helps keep parts aligned for quieter, reliable operation.

• Fits into a mounting bracket to provide a cushioned seat for a component
• Isolates vibration and reduces noise by preventing metal-to-metal contact
• Helps maintain secure mounting and proper alignment
• Common signs of wear: cracking, flattening, missing grommet, increased vibration or rattling

• Disconnect power before servicing; shut off water supply if working near water lines
• Access the bracket and support the mounted component to relieve weight
• Remove the worn grommet and press the new grommet fully into the bracket opening
• Reassemble and snug fasteners—do not overtighten, so the grommet can isolate vibration

This screw is used to secure the handle end cap to the center of the door. The screw size measures 8-18 x 1/2 inches.

A single replacement screw used to fasten appliance panels and components, restoring secure fit and reducing vibration or noise. Simple, low-cost part for repairs that need a missing or stripped fastener. What it does:
