Description

This thermal overload protector safeguards the motor/compressor circuit by opening when temperature or current rises too high. Replacing a failed protector helps prevent damage and restore reliable operation when the unit won't stay running.

• Opens the circuit on over-temperature/over-current to protect windings
• Helps address symptoms like: hums then clicks off, won't start, or shuts down shortly after starting
• Often resets when cool; repeated tripping indicates a failing protector or a related issue
• Mounts against the component for accurate thermal sensing

What's included: 1 protector Install notes:

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing; capacitors can retain a charge
• Note wire locations and transfer one at a time; terminals should fit snugly
• Seat/clip the protector firmly as designed for proper heat transfer
• If the old protector shows heat damage, also inspect the start relay/capacitor, wiring, and the motor/compressor
