Bosch Refrigerator KIF26440 Parts

Fixes incorrect temperature readings or frequent cycling. This thermistor monitors compartment temp for proper cooling. Moderate DIY repair, 30-45 minutes.

This starting relay engages the refrigerator/freezer compressor during startup so the appliance reaches proper cooling quickly and reliably. It replaces a failed relay to restore normal compressor startup behavior. What it does:

• Provides the initial electrical kick to the compressor motor during startup
• Stops the compressor from stalling at power-up and helps prevent repeated restart attempts
• Common symptom of failure: fridge/freezer not cooling, compressor hums but won't start
• Other symptom: intermittent starting or frequent clicking noises when the compressor tries to engage

• One starting relay

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing the compressor or handling electrical components
• Mount in the original relay location and ensure secure electrical connections; do not force terminals
