Kenmore / Sears Freezer Relay, Overload, Capacitor

This is a start relay device that helps the compressor motor start up and run properly in your refrigerator or freezer. It provides the initial electrical boost the compressor needs to begin its cooling cycle. Replace this part if your unit is not cooling, the compressor clicks on and off repeatedly, or you hear a buzzing sound coming from the back of the appliance.

Fix a clicking compressor or refrigerator that won't cool. This start relay and overload assembly restores compressor startup. DIY repair in 10-15 minutes.

This is a compressor start relay that helps the compressor motor start up by providing an initial boost of electrical current. It works alongside an overload protector to prevent the compressor from overheating. Replace this part if the refrigerator is not cooling, the compressor clicks on and off repeatedly without running, or you hear a buzzing sound coming from the back of the unit.

This is a start relay device that attaches to the compressor and provides the initial electrical boost needed to start the compressor motor. It works in conjunction with the run capacitor to get the compressor running and then disengages once the motor reaches operating speed. Replace this device if the refrigerator is not cooling, the compressor clicks on and off repeatedly, or you hear a buzzing sound coming from the back of the unit.

This is a compressor start relay that helps the compressor motor start up by providing the initial surge of power needed. It is a small device that typically mounts directly onto the compressor. Replace this part if the compressor fails to start, runs intermittently, or if you hear repeated clicking sounds coming from the back of the unit.

Start relay for refrigerator compressors that helps the compressor begin running at power-up. Replacing a failed relay can restore normal starting behavior and resolve common startup symptoms. What it does

• Provides the initial start current path to the compressor during startup.
• Allows the compressor to reach running speed, then drops out once the motor is running.
• Common symptoms a bad relay may cause: compressor clicking, humming without starting, intermittent cooling or frequent cycling.
• Installed as the electrical component used only on compatible compressor assemblies.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical shock.
• Access the relay at the compressor; remove and replace the relay only after confirming diagnostics.
• Dispose of the old electrical part per local regulations.

This compressor overload is a thermal/protective device that helps prevent compressor damage by cutting power when the motor overheats or draws excessive current. It restores normal operation once conditions return to safe levels. What it does:

• Protects the refrigerator compressor from overheating and electrical overloads
• Works with the compressor start relay to help the motor start and run properly
• Common symptom linkage: replaces a failed overload when the compressor hums but won't start
• Stops compressor cycling or prevents repeated trips that cause cooling loss

• One compressor overload (single piece as shown)

• Disconnect all power before replacing to avoid shock or injury
• Handle terminals carefully and reconnect matching terminal positions
• Replace only with the same part number or equivalent
• If compressor still won't start after replacing the overload, check the start relay and compressor condition.

Fix a refrigerator that won't cool or start. This compressor start relay helps your compressor run reliably and prevents clicking sounds. Easy DIY repair.

Fix a freezer that won't run or trips the breaker with this compressor overload protector. Attaches to compressor terminals. DIY repair in 30 minutes.

This is a compressor start device that helps the compressor motor start up by providing the initial electrical boost it needs. It combines the functions of a start relay and overload protector in one unit. Replace this device if the compressor won't start, the refrigerator or freezer isn't cooling, or you hear a clicking sound followed by the compressor shutting off repeatedly.

Compressor won't start or cycles on and off? This overload protector prevents motor damage by cutting power during overheating. DIY-friendly fix.

Freezer won't start or starts intermittently? This electrical relay assembly restores reliable power switching to get your freezer running again.
