Buck November 27, 2015 for Model Number ET8MTMXKQ01 I bought kit AP3961332 to fix a short-cycle issue; once i installed it: after a compressor cycle the fan still runs a few seconds at a time, sometimes with a relay click & other times without. Some times it appears to struggle with, to start the fan or not. Cooling inside is fine, compressor cycle is ok. Coils are as clean as I can get them. Air flowing good, in over coils, over compressor, flows out front and rear. Should I use the other overload in the package? Tech said use the lower part # for my compressor EMY60HSC.
1 Answer Buck, You could try to use the other relay but if the unit is short cycling then it sounds more like a issue with a possible thermostat that is not reading properly causing the compressor to try to restart too quickly before it has time to equalize pressure. Read More...
Jim October 17, 2014 for Model Number ET8MTMXKT00 My frig works fine, but will not restart. If I turn off and turn on it will start.
1 Answer Jim, With the issue that you are having, if it occurs every time the unit shuts down then it would most likely be caused by a faulty thermostat. If the issue occurs only about every 8 hours then it could be an issue that the defrost timer is sticking an not allowing the unit to come out of defrost. Read More...
Frustrated October 13, 2014 for Model Number TT18AKXKQ00 Received 8201769 for compressor EMU60 and hooked it up. Immediately after plugging the refrigerator back in, overload protector sparked and smelled like hot plastic. Any ideas? Bad compressor drawing too much power? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
1 Answer Frustrated, With having replaced the start relay for you unit and still tripping the overload would be caused by a bad compressor. You would need to replace the compressor part number W10823815. Read More...
Mc September 30, 2014 for Model Number ET8MTMXKT0 Looking at part 8201769 or AP3961332. The paperwork for this unit says EGY60, EGY70 & EMU60 ONLY. Yet when I type in my appliance model number this says it's compatible. The compressor in Whirlpool is EMY 60HSC. Something doesn't seem right. Am I looking at the wrong part? Wrong instructions?
1 Answer MC, Even though the instructions say only the 2 models the start kit 8201769 will still work for your unit. Read More...
Tom July 16, 2013 for Model Number compressorEGY90 Need a picture of how to replace start device on EGY90 compressor.
1 Answer Hello Tom. There is no picture. You just unplug the unit and pull off the clip and old device from the compressor and press the new one onto the compressor. Read More...
Frustrated July 31, 2012 for Model Number 106-53594300 My Kenmore stopped running, repairman replaced my relay with a 3in1 relay start capacitor and now nothing works. Did he put something on that was wrong?
1 Answer Hello, This sounds like the repairman either didn't wire the compressor correctly. I would be very careful around the unit until someone checks because if he left the hot wire loose and it contacts the chassis, if the ground isn't attached properly, you could receive an electrical shock. Unplug the unit and have someone check it. Read More...

Ed June 28, 2012 for Model Number 8201769 Ordered relay switch for refrigerator. Did not receive the pictured part on the website: http://www.appliancepartspros.com/Appliance-Parts/whirlpool-compressor-start-device-kit-item-number-ap3961332.aspx Appears to be the parts that go inside the pictured casing. 2 issues: 1) appears to need special tool to open the casing 2) appears the part doesn't line up as would be needed to fit in ther casing.
1 Answer Hello Ed. These are no used with the box. You will install the overload on the single post and then the relay with the 2 holes goes on the to post that are side by side in the unit. The manufacture has discontinued the white box kit. Read More...
