Kenmore / Sears Relay, Overload, Capacitor

Compressor won't start or kicks out after trying? This overload protector prevents motor damage. DIY-friendly repair, takes about 30 minutes to replace.

Refrigerator clicking but not cooling? A failed compressor starter prevents reliable startup. This part restores proper cooling by helping the compressor start.

Fridge not cooling but lights work? This compressor overload stops overheating and prevents startup damage. DIY-friendly repair in about 1 hour.

Refrigerator not cooling or compressor won't start? This overload protector prevents motor damage from overheating. DIY-friendly fix in under 30 minutes.

This electronic controller is the central board that governs your unit's cooling system. It processes temperature inputs and controls key components so the freezer maintains set temperature when the original board fails.

• Regulates temperature by processing sensor/thermostat inputs and issuing commands to cooling components
• Directs compressor and fan operation to maintain the setpoint
• On applicable models, manages defrost timing and cycles
• Common failure symptoms include no cooling or intermittent cooling, unit won't start, runs constantly, unresponsive controls, or erratic temperatures

• Disconnect power before service; observe ESD precautions and handle the board by its edges
• Photograph/label wire connections; transfer any mounting clips/brackets from the original board
• Seat all connectors fully without forcing; avoid touching component pins
• Restore power and allow time for temperatures to stabilize; verify normal operation

This Temperature Controller regulates cooling by switching power to the compressor and related circuits to hold the set temperature. Replacing a failing controller restores accurate temperature control and reliable operation. What it does:

• Cycles cooling components to maintain the temperature you set
• Helps keep cabinet temperatures consistent for proper food storage
• Coordinates on/off operation to prevent overcooling or warm conditions
• Common failure symptoms: too warm or too cold, runs constantly or won't start, control/dial unresponsive

• 1 temperature controller

• Disconnect power before servicing—this is a line-voltage control
• Access the control area, label or photograph wire positions, and move wires one at a time to the new controller
• Reuse existing mounting hardware and any knob/overlay as applicable
• After install, set to mid setting and allow up to 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize

Refrigerator won't cool or compressor clicks but won't start? This PTC start relay powers the compressor's start winding. Common DIY fix, restores cooling.

Refrigerator won't cool or compressor won't start? This compressor start relay energizes the start winding to restore cooling. DIY-friendly repair.

Fix a refrigerator that clicks but won't start or cycles on and off repeatedly. This compressor start relay powers the start winding for reliable cooling.

This electronic control board serves as the appliance's controller, managing cooling functions, sensor inputs, and status indicators. Replacing a faulty controller can restore stable temperatures and reliable operation.

• Regulates cooling based on temperature-sensor feedback to maintain the set point
• Switches major loads (such as compressor and fan) on and off as designed
• Interfaces with user controls and any status lights/alarms, when equipped
• Common failure symptoms: no cooling or overcooling, constant running, erratic cycling, or unresponsive/intermittent controls or indicators

• Disconnect power before servicing; electrical shock risk
• Handle the board by the edges and use ESD protection to prevent static damage
• Note/photograph all wire connectors before removal; transfer any mounting brackets or covers from the original part
• After reassembly, restore power and allow temperature to stabilize before final evaluation

Refrigerator clicking but not cooling? A failed compressor start device causes repeated clicking and warm temps. Quick DIY fix restores reliable starts.

Fix a compressor that won't start, hums, or cycles on and off every few minutes. This motor start capacitor restores reliable compressor operation.

This electronic control board manages the appliance's user interface and core control functions, restoring reliable operation when the original board fails. It replaces a damaged or unresponsive control module to help regain normal appliance control. What it does:

• Sends and receives signals to operate timers, relays, and display functions.
• Controls user inputs and on/off sequencing for the appliance's systems.
• Common symptoms of a failing board: unresponsive controls, blank or erratic display, cycles not starting or stopping, or intermittent operation.
• Use this board to replace units exhibiting control or display faults that other components have not resolved.

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before starting any repair.
• Handle the board by the edges and avoid touching components; use an ESD strap if available.
• Verify wiring harness connections and fuses before and after installation.

This electronic control board manages core cooling functions in your appliance, including compressor/fan operation and the automatic defrost cycle. Replacing a failing board can restore stable temperatures and more reliable, frost-free performance.

• Regulates compressor and evaporator fan operation to maintain the set temperature
• Controls and times the automatic defrost cycle to reduce frost buildup
• Interprets inputs from sensors and user controls to coordinate system responses
• Common symptoms of a failed board: inconsistent temperatures, continuous running or short cycling, heavy frost/ice on coils, or unresponsive/intermittent controls

• Disconnect power before servicing; handle the board with ESD precautions
• Note connector locations; transfer any mounting brackets or covers from the original as needed
• Seat all connectors fully and secure the board before restoring power
• After installation, monitor temperature and defrost operation

Refrigerator not cooling or won't start? A failed compressor start device prevents startup. DIY repair in under 30 minutes restores reliable cooling.

Fix a refrigerator that won't cool or compressor runs briefly then stops. This PTC starter relay provides timed boost to start winding for reliable cooling.
