This starter relay helps start the refrigerator compressor so the unit can cool properly. It replaces a worn or failed relay to restore reliable compressor start-up and reduce repeated clicking or humming. What it does:

• Provides the initial kick to start the compressor motor
• Stops the compressor from stalling during startup
• Commonly used when the fridge hums but doesn't cool or the compressor only clicks on and off
• Helps prevent extended run attempts that can overload the compressor

• One starter relay

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Replace only when unit is fully powered down and components are cool to the touch
• Inspect the compressor terminal area for damage or corrosion and clean before installing

This run capacitor helps the refrigerator compressor start and run smoothly, restoring normal operation when a weak or failed capacitor causes the compressor to struggle. Replacing a faulty capacitor can reduce humming and improve cooling performance. What it does:

• Provides continuous phase-shift to the compressor motor for stable running.
• Helps maintain proper compressor speed and efficiency during operation.
• Commonly replaced when the compressor hums, won't stay running, or cooling is inconsistent.
• Reduces risk of repeated motor cycling caused by a weak or open capacitor.

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before accessing electrical components.
• Discharge the capacitor before handling; capacitors can hold a charge even when powered off.
• Observe terminal orientation and mounting location; replace with the same type and ratings.
