Description

This overload protector helps keep the compressor from overheating and allows the fridge to start reliably. It replaces a failed thermal protector so the compressor can engage safely and prevent heat-related damage. What it does:

• Protects the compressor by interrupting current if the motor overheats
• Works with the start device to allow the compressor to start smoothly
• Commonly used when the compressor fails to start, only hums, or the refrigerator stops cooling
• Helps prevent electrical damage caused by repeated overheating or locked-rotor conditions

What's included:

• One compressor overload protector (single unit)

Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing electrical components
• Mount at the compressor per the original location and secure all electrical connections
• Inspect the start relay and wiring while replacing the overload—replace any damaged parts
