Description

PTC relay is a start device that helps the appliance motor begin turning by providing a brief boost to the start winding. Replacing a faulty relay restores reliable motor starting and can return normal operation. What it does:

• Provides a temporary start assist to the motor's start winding so the motor can overcome initial inertia.
• Commonly replaced when the motor hums but won't start or when the unit fails to begin operation.
• Can address symptoms such as clicking noises at startup, intermittent motor starting, or no motor movement despite power.
• Works as the motor start control — failure can prevent the appliance from operating properly.

What's included: One PTC relay. Install notes:

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid electric shock.
• Note terminal locations and orientation before removal; install replacement on the same terminals.
• Handle terminals gently and ensure tight, corrosion-free connections.
• After installation, restore power and verify the motor starts and runs normally.
