Description

This overload protector is a compressor start-device that helps prevent compressor damage by interrupting power if the motor overheats or draws too much current. It restores normal operation when conditions return to safe levels. What it does:

• Senses excessive heat or current at the compressor and interrupts power to prevent motor damage
• Stops the compressor from attempting to start repeatedly when under stress
• Helps address symptoms such as a refrigerator that hums but won't run, frequent compressor cycling, or a compressor that runs briefly then stops
• Works with the compressor start relay as part of the motor protection system

What's included:

• One overload protector

Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing the protector
• Located on the compressor body; replace with the same style and orientation for proper fit
• Handle the component and compressor terminals carefully to avoid damage
