Parts for Maytag CFU1736ARW: 03 - Unit Compartment & System Parts

Refrigerator not cooling or running too warm? A failed compressor stops refrigerant circulation. This is an advanced repair requiring special tools.

Fix a refrigerator that won't cool or runs constantly with this compressor. Essential sealed system component. Professional installation recommended.

Refrigerator not cooling or compressor won't start? This start device assembly includes relay and overload. DIY-friendly 15-minute repair for most models.

This overload is a thermal protection device that mounts on the motor/compressor and opens the circuit when excessive heat or current is detected. Replacing a weak or failed overload helps restore safe startup and protects the windings from damage. What it does:

• Monitors motor/compressor temperature and current draw
• Interrupts power on overheat/overload to prevent damage
• Aids troubleshooting of start/run issues when paired with the start device
• Common symptoms: hums then clicks off, won't start, intermittent shutdown, frequent tripping

• 1 thermal overload protector

• Disconnect power before servicing; allow components to cool
• Access the terminal area on the motor/compressor; remove any cover
• Note/photograph wire positions; transfer wires and fully seat the new overload on the correct terminal
• Inspect the start relay, capacitor, and terminals for heat damage; replace any compromised parts

The Run Capacitor is an OEM part for Whirlpool appliances, designed to provide the necessary electrical charge to start and run the compressor motor. This part attaches to the compressor to aids in maintaining a consistent motor speed and ensuring smooth operation. The run capacitor plays a crucial role in the appliance's electrical system, storing and releasing energy as needed to power the motor.

Causes of a bad Run Capacitor include electrical surges, wear and tear over time, or overheating, which can lead to a failure in providing the necessary start-up energy or maintaining motor speed.

Symptoms of a bad Run Capacitor include:

• The appliance does not start.
• The motor shuts off shortly after starting.
• The appliance is humming but not running.
• Increased energy consumption.

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

Secures the light bulb in your freezer or refrigerator. Replace if the bulb is loose, falls out, or the clip is cracked. Confirm fit with your model number.

Pan head screw secures panels, brackets, and trim on refrigerators and freezers. Replace missing, stripped, or damaged screws to restore proper fastening.

Refrigerator not cooling properly? A clogged filter drier prevents proper refrigerant flow. Requires professional installation due to sealed system.
