Description

This compressor start relay (PTC) briefly powers the compressor's start winding to ensure reliable start-up. Replacing a failed relay can stop repeated clicking and help a non-starting compressor restore normal refrigerator cooling.

• Provides a timed, resistance-based boost to the compressor's start winding, then drops out of the circuit
• Common symptoms: compressor hums then clicks off, frequent clicking from the rear, warm fridge/freezer, intermittent cooling
• Mounts directly on the compressor terminals; works with the separate overload protector and, if equipped, a run capacitor
• Visible signs of failure may include heat damage, burnt odor, or loose/rattling pieces inside the old relay

What's included: 1 PTC start relay Install notes:

• Unplug the refrigerator and remove the lower rear access panel to reach the compressor
• Note wire routing and orientation; transfer any harness/retainer and seat the relay fully on the compressor pins
• If a run capacitor is present, discharge it before handling and reconnect to the same terminals
• Inspect the overload and connectors; replace any heat-damaged components
