Description

This compressor overload protector helps prevent compressor damage by cutting power if the motor overheats or draws excessive current. It restores normal compressor operation once conditions return to safe levels, helping protect the refrigeration system. What it does:

• Trips power to the compressor when the motor overheats or experiences an electrical overload
• Helps prevent compressor burnout and reduces risk of further system damage
• Commonly used when the compressor hums but won't start, or when the refrigerator cycles irregularly
• Works with start devices to allow the compressor to restart safely after a fault clears

What's included:

• One compressor overload protector

Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing the protector
• Located on or near the compressor terminals; replace with the identical part for proper fit
• Handle terminals carefully to avoid bending or damaging compressor leads
