Description

This compressor thermal overload protector helps prevent compressor overheating by interrupting power if the motor draws excessive current or temperature rises. It restores normal operation once the compressor cools, protecting the refrigeration system. What it does:

• Interrupts compressor power when the motor overheats or draws excessive current
• Helps prevent compressor damage from sustained overload or locked-rotor conditions
• Common symptom: refrigerator not cooling while compressor is hot, or compressor hums but won't run
• Works with the compressor's starting system to help ensure safe motor operation

What's included:

• One overload protector

Install notes:

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing the protector
• Located on or near the compressor; access may require moving the appliance and removing the rear access panel
• Handle the part carefully and avoid bending terminals; ensure secure electrical connections
