Kenmore / Sears Relay, Overload, Capacitor

This relay protector (overload) is a replacement safety device that helps prevent relay or compressor damage by interrupting power during overload conditions. It restores proper protection for the appliance's electrical circuit. What it does:

• Senses excessive current/overload and opens the circuit to protect relays or compressors
• Helps stop repeated relay clicking or failure when an overload occurs
• Supports safe operation of the appliance by preventing damage from electrical faults
• Commonly used where a compact overload/relay protector is required in the control circuit

• One relay protector (overload) as shown

• Disconnect power before accessing or replacing electrical components
• Match part number and terminal arrangement to the original before installing
• Do not attempt electrical repairs without proper tools and safety precautions

Kit includes relay, overload, cover and instructions.

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

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

A film radial capacitor used in appliance electrical assemblies to stabilize voltage and support motor and control circuits. Replaces a worn or failed film capacitor to restore consistent operation and reduce electrical noise. What it does:

• Smooths and stabilizes voltage in motor and control circuits to help maintain reliable operation
• Reduces electrical noise that can cause humming or erratic behavior in appliances
• Helps ensure consistent motor start/run performance when the capacitor is the cause of symptoms
• Commonly replaced when appliances exhibit intermittent starts, humming, or control board errors linked to compromised capacitors

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing electrical components
• Discharge the capacitor safely before touching terminals to avoid shock
• Observe correct polarity/terminal orientation and secure connections per OEM guidance

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.

This electronic control board is the refrigerator's main circuit board that manages temperature, defrost and user controls—restoring responsive control functions and resolving erratic or non-working control behavior. What it does:

• Controls compressor, fans and defrost cycles by sending signals based on sensor inputs
• Manages user interface commands and display response
• Can stop fridge cooling or cause incorrect temperatures when failing
• May cause intermittent operation, no display response, or failure to complete defrost cycles

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any work to avoid electrical shock
• Handle the board by its edges and avoid touching components or connector pins
• Verify connector orientation and seating; replace exactly like-for-like to ensure compatibility

This compressor start relay helps the refrigerator compressor start and run more reliably, restoring proper cooling performance and preventing frequent hard starts. Fits compatible Frigidaire-style compressors and connects at the compressor terminal block. What it does:

• Provides the initial boost to spin the compressor motor during startup
• Helps prevent the compressor from stalling or failing to start
• Can reduce clicking, humming, or a fridge that runs but does not cool
• Works with the compressor's start circuit to engage the motor quickly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing the relay
• Access the relay at the compressor (usually mounted on the compressor body); note terminal positions before removal
• Replace only with the exact relay specified by the manufacturer; secure all connections and wiring

This motor overload protector helps prevent the dryer motor from overheating by cutting power when excessive current or heat is detected. It restores normal operation when the motor cools or the overload is replaced. What it does:

• Protects the dryer motor from damage by interrupting power during overheating or overcurrent conditions
• Commonly used when the dryer motor won't start, hums but doesn't run, or the motor trips repeatedly
• Works with the motor start system to reduce the risk of burned windings and costly motor failure
• Resets or is replaced to restore normal motor operation after an overload event

• Always unplug the appliance before checking or replacing this part
• Inspect wiring and motor for underlying issues that can cause repeated overloads

This electrical relay assembly controls power to a major appliance circuit, restoring reliable switching and helping appliances start and run properly. Replace a failed relay to stop intermittent starts, no-start conditions, or unreliable operation. What it does

• Switches electrical power to motors or heating circuits when the appliance control signals for operation
• Commonly fails after arcing or overheating, causing intermittent or no-start symptoms
• May cause a unit to click repeatedly, run intermittently, or fail to power specific functions
• Restores correct electrical switching when installed in place of a damaged relay

• Disconnect power before accessing control panels or wiring to avoid shock
• Access and removal typically require removing the control panel or top panel; keep track of screws and wire locations
• Replace with the exact part number and reconnect all terminals securely; do not bend or damage connector pins
