Amana Compressor Start Relay

By: Whirlpool

Part Number: W10613606

The Compressor Start Relay is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This component helps to kickstart the compressor, facilitating the refrigeration cycle that cools the interior of the fridge.

Such issues can stem from electrical failures within the relay, physical damage, or wear and tear from regular use. When the relay does not function correctly, it can lead to inconsistent cooling and, in severe cases, cause the compressor to overheat and fail prematurely.

Symptoms of a failing Compressor Start Relay include:

The refrigerator not cooling properly or not cooling at all
A noticeable clicking sound emanating from the back of the refrigerator, indicating the relay is trying to start the compressor but failing
The refrigerator starts and stops frequently, unable to maintain a constant temperature

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

This part fixes the following symptoms

Clicking sound
Won't start
Freezer section too warm
Fridge too warm

Amana Start Relay (Refrigerator Compressor)

5.0 (1)

By: Whirlpool

Part Number: 2154436

This start relay controls power to the compressor's start winding so the refrigerator can start and run. Replacing a weak or burned relay restores dependable compressor start-up and can stop repeated clicking with warming temperatures.

Energizes the compressor's start winding to provide initial torque, then disengages from the circuit
Common failure symptoms: refrigerator not cooling or intermittently warm; compressor hums/clicks and won't start; relay rattles, smells burnt, or shows heat damage; overload trips
Helps prevent hard-start conditions that stress the compressor
The relay contacts are open/shorted, the compressor may fail to start and cycle off on overload

What's included: 1 start relay Install notes:

Disconnect power before servicing; wear appropriate PPE
Access the rear machine compartment; remove the relay cover on the compressor. Note wire positions, pull the old relay straight off the compressor pins, transfer wires, and fully seat the new relay in the same orientation
If equipped, safely discharge the run capacitor; inspect the overload, wiring, and terminals for heat damage and address as needed
Reinstall the cover. If the compressor still won't start, further diagnosis of the start device, capacitor, or compressor is required

Do-It-Yourself Stories from Customers like You Compressor not running. Eric A. • Canton , MA • December 16, 2017

My freezer and fridge were blowing warm and all my food in there was garbage... Lights and fans all working. Looked up some YouTube videos on what it could be. Bad compressor least likely culprit even though it wasn't running. It wasn't doing that "click whirr" thing if it were trying to start. It just flat out wasn't running. So, check the overload and relay that attach right on the side of the compressor. I did, and I shook them. They jingled like loose change=BAD. Ordered new ones and... Read more
