Description

This compressor overload is a thermal start device that helps protect the refrigerator compressor from overheating and electrical damage. It ensures the compressor can safely restart after a temporary overload. What it does:

• Interrupts compressor current when the motor overheats to prevent damage
• Allows the compressor to restart once it cools, helping restore normal cooling
• Commonly used when the compressor hums but won't start or the fridge loses cooling
• Protects against short-term electrical faults and excessive motor temperature

What's included:

• One compressor overload (start device), ready to install

Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock
• Replace with the exact OEM part and match terminal connections and mounting
• Handle terminals carefully; avoid bending or stressing wires
