Description

This compressor overload is a thermal start protector that helps prevent compressor damage by cutting power if the motor overheats or draws excessive current. Replaces a failed protector to restore reliable compressor start and run behavior. What it does:

• Protects the compressor motor by interrupting power when the motor overheats or draws excessive current
• Commonly linked to symptoms like a humming compressor that won't start, intermittent cooling loss, or a refrigerator that runs then stops
• Works with the compressor's electrical start system to help prevent repeated starts under fault conditions
• Simple replacement can resolve start failures caused by a failed overload protector

What's included:

• One compressor overload (single start protector as shown)

Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing or replacing the overload protector
• Handle terminals carefully and ensure secure electrical connections; reinstall in original orientation and mounting
