Mcf 312200500017 Ptc Starter OEM Part

Replaced$ 30.00 Ptc Starter. 10 Minute fix and cools great again

I went on-line and watched a number of "tutorials" regarding the testing of the compressor to find out if the main parts were possibly still functional. What is now missing in those tutorials was the most basic test - testing whether the motor is shorted out. My compressor was not shorted out. Then, I ordered the replacement starter relay based on the part number from the old one. And Voila - It worked. The little wine refrigerator is functioning again.

I was about to junk my refrigerator. Then I saw a YouTube video made by someone who had fixed his by replacing something called a PTC starter. I disassembled mine and reassembled it, making the refrigerator work for a day or two. ... at which point, I purchased a replacement from AppliancePartsPros.com. In 5 minutes, I had a working refrigerator again. Unplug the refrigerator Unscrew the cover Unplug the spade connector (white wire) Unplug the old PTC starter Reverse these steps with the new PTC starter to reassemble. All that is needed is a phillips head screwdriver.

My first thought was to start looking for a new one but the prices are nearly double from my original purchase price. I went on line and learned that most of the time it is a problem with the starter switch, usually the ceramic disc inside is either corroded or broken. Ordered a new Ptc starter from Appliancepartspros for $23 and record it in less than a week. Replaced the part and in about 15 minutes my wine cooler is as good as new. Miracle!

I replaced the part that was ordered and the wine cooler is now working again. Great, saved me a lot of money and conserved energy and landfill use.
