Kenmore / Sears Relay, Overload, Capacitor

Fix a refrigerator that hums and shuts down or won't start with this compressor overload protector. Simple DIY repair that restores safe operation.

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 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.
