The Compressor Overload Protector Assembly is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. The compressor overload protector steps in if the compressor motor draws excessive current. It then interrupts the power to prevent overheating. The wire harness boosts the compressor to kick-start it, disengaging as soon as the motor reaches the desired speed.

Over time, the compressor overload protector can wear out or become damaged due to electrical issues, power surges, or constant exposure to high temperatures. A faulty protector can compromise the safety and efficiency of the refrigerator’s cooling system.

Symptoms of a bad compressor overload protector assembly include:

  • The refrigerator not cooling properly
  • The compressor frequently cycling on and off
  • Clicking noises coming from the compressor area
  • The refrigerator not turning on at all

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore models.

For Lg Compressor Overload Protector Assembly (Part Number: OEM16788315)

1 Answer

Hello Michael, thank you for contacting Appliance Parts Pros. If the compressor is running and neither compartment has experienced any cooling you have a sealed system issue. We recommend contacting a licensed and certified sealed system appliance repair company for further diagnosis.

Mike, If the compressor is not coming on then this will most likely be a main control board issue. The main control board has an inverter built into it that will control the compressor.

Justin for Model Number lfx29945st/02

Does this part match the picture? specifically, does the green/yellow ground wire go into the white connector? I have tried ordering the specific part for my fridge from amazon and it only has a single end-to-end green/yellow ground that just connects the fridge chassis to the compressor, with only a red and black cable going into the white circuit board connector. I bought a part twice that was supposed to be a replacement for my fridge, so I've started ignoring part numbers and am just trying to find a cable assembly that matches mine, which the one in the photo here does.

Justin, Thanks for the question!!! Yes, this part should be the same as in the photo. It is an OEM part.

Chuck, If you are ordering the compressor for the model number listed it will be part number TCA38151706 and comes with just the compressor. You would need to get the software update part number CJT30000002.
