Parts for Lg GR-151CN: Evaporator / Drier / Comp. Base Parts

The Compressor Start Relay is an OEM part for LG refrigerators, playing a critical role in the starting mechanism of the compressor. This small but crucial component helps to kickstart the compressor, enabling it to begin the refrigeration cycle that cools the interior of the fridge. 

Causes of a bad Compressor Start Relay include wear and tear over time, electrical surges that can damage the relay, or overheating of the compressor unit. 

Symptoms of a bad Compressor Start Relay include:

• The refrigerator failing to cool properly or maintain the set temperature.
• A noticeable increase in the electric bill due to the refrigerator working harder to maintain temperatures.
• Strange noises, such as clicking sounds from the compressor area
• The compressor not starting at all, leading to a complete lack of cooling within the refrigerator.

This OEM LG part is also compatible with some Kenmore models.

This PTC cover protects the refrigerator's PTC/compressor start device from dirt, moisture and accidental contact, helping the start device operate reliably. It's a simple replacement that restores the protective enclosure for the start assembly. What it does:

• Shields the PTC/compressor start relay and wiring from debris and moisture that can cause malfunctions
• Helps prevent accidental shorting or contact with terminals during operation or service
• Can resolve symptoms where the start device is exposed or the compressor area shows visible wear or damage
• Maintains correct positioning and protection of the start components for consistent compressor starting

• One PTC cover (protective enclosure) as shown

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Replace only when the start device or cover is exposed and you can access compressor/start assembly safely
• Avoid bending or stressing terminals and wiring when removing or installing the cover

The Drier Assembly is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. This part removes moisture and contaminants from the refrigerant, ensuring the system operates efficiently and effectively. The drier assembly helps maintain the proper function of the compressor and other cooling components, contributing to the longevity and performance of the refrigerator.

Causes of a bad drier assembly can include clogs from debris, wear and tear over time, or contamination from moisture or refrigerant leaks.  

Symptoms of a bad drier assembly include:

• The refrigerator not cooling properly
• Frost or ice buildup on the evaporator coils
• Increased noise from the compressor
• Reduced efficiency and higher energy consumption
• You should replace the drier assembly if it becomes faulty or damaged.

This OEM LG part is also compatible with select Sears/Kenmore models.
