• Works with the start relay to help ensure proper compressor start and restart
• Commonly replaces units causing hard-starting compressors, frequent tripping, or a compressor that hums but won't run
• Simple, passive device — no user-adjustable settings

What's included: One overload protector Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing or servicing the compressor compartment
• Typically mounts on or near the compressor and connects to the start relay; verify terminal orientation before removal
• Inspect the start relay and wiring when replacing the overload; replace damaged connectors or terminals
