Kenmore / Sears Relay, Overload, Capacitor

Fixes a refrigerator that won't cool while lights and fans work. This thermal overload protector prevents compressor damage. DIY install in 15 minutes.

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

Compressor won't start or runs intermittently? This start relay and overload helps the motor get up to speed so your refrigerator runs reliably again.

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.

Refrigerator won't start or compressor clicks but doesn't run? This start relay and overload protector helps the compressor motor start reliably.

Refrigerator won't cool or compressor won't start? This compressor start relay and overload protector fixes cooling failures. Simple DIY repair.

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

Fix a refrigerator that won't cool or run with this compressor overload protector. Prevents motor damage from electrical surges. Basic repair.

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

If your refrigerator won't start or compressor clicks but doesn't run, the start relay may have failed. This part typically takes 15-30 minutes to replace.
