Description

This thermal overload protector helps stop a compressor from overheating or drawing excessive current, protecting the refrigerator's refrigeration circuit and helping prevent further damage. It restores thermal cutoff protection for a failing or open protector. What it does:

• Senses compressor over-temperature or over-current and opens the circuit to stop the compressor
• Commonly used when a compressor won't start, hums, or cycles frequently
• Helps prevent compressor damage and repeated system stress when the protector trips
• Works with the compressor electrical terminals and is part of the start/run protective system

What's included:

Install notes:

• Disconnect all power before accessing the compressor or wiring
• Handle compressor terminals and wiring carefully; avoid pulling on wires
• Inspect the start relay and wiring; replace any corroded or damaged components
