Fairly certain multiple brown outs burn the part out Mark M. • Franklin Furnace , OH • November 16, 2019
When the part arrived finally, 10 minute's later the refrigerator was working. Note: FedEx was not the fastest way, the part set days at their facility before moving to another. Finally, it was transferred to USPS and delivery was made by my postman.

Genuine Whirlpool part
By: Whirlpool

Start relay for refrigerator compressors that helps the compressor begin running at power-up. Replacing a failed relay can restore normal starting behavior and resolve common startup symptoms. What it does
- Provides the initial start current path to the compressor during startup.
- Allows the compressor to reach running speed, then drops out once the motor is running.
- Common symptoms a bad relay may cause: compressor clicking, humming without starting, intermittent cooling or frequent cycling.
- Installed as the electrical component used only on compatible compressor assemblies.
What's included Includes one start relay. Install notes
- Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical shock.
- Access the relay at the compressor; remove and replace the relay only after confirming diagnostics.
- Dispose of the old electrical part per local regulations.

Genuine Frigidaire part
By: Frigidaire
Part Number: 5303270406
This compressor overload is a thermal/protective device that helps prevent compressor damage by cutting power when the motor overheats or draws excessive current. It restores normal operation once conditions return to safe levels. What it does:
- Protects the refrigerator compressor from overheating and electrical overloads
- Works with the compressor start relay to help the motor start and run properly
- Common symptom linkage: replaces a failed overload when the compressor hums but won't start
- Stops compressor cycling or prevents repeated trips that cause cooling loss
What's included:
- One compressor overload (single piece as shown)
Install notes:
- Disconnect all power before replacing to avoid shock or injury
- Handle terminals carefully and reconnect matching terminal positions
- Replace only with the same part number or equivalent
- If compressor still won't start after replacing the overload, check the start relay and compressor condition.
