Refrigerator Relay, Overload, Capacitor

This overload is a replacement compressor protector that helps prevent compressor overheating and failure by interrupting power when the compressor draws excessive current. Use it to restore reliable compressor starting and protect the refrigeration system. What it does:

• Senses excessive current/temperature at the compressor and interrupts power to prevent damage
• Helps stop the compressor from running continuously when stalled or overloaded
• Common symptom fix: refrigerator not cooling with compressor humming or not starting
• Works with the compressor start system to improve start reliability

• One overload

• Always unplug the appliance or disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Handle compressor terminals carefully; note wire locations or photograph before removal
• Replace with the exact part number and secure wiring/booting per OEM routing
• Check start relay, wiring, and service diagnostics if compressor still fails to start after replacement

This overload protector helps keep the compressor from overheating and allows the fridge to start reliably. It replaces a failed thermal protector so the compressor can engage safely and prevent heat-related damage. What it does:

• Protects the compressor by interrupting current if the motor overheats
• Works with the start device to allow the compressor to start smoothly
• Commonly used when the compressor fails to start, only hums, or the refrigerator stops cooling
• Helps prevent electrical damage caused by repeated overheating or locked-rotor conditions

• One compressor overload protector (single unit)

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing electrical components
• Mount at the compressor per the original location and secure all electrical connections
• Inspect the start relay and wiring while replacing the overload—replace any damaged parts

This motor run capacitor helps the appliance motor start smoothly and maintain steady operation for reliable performance. Replacing a worn capacitor can restore normal motor function and reduce unusual noises or startup failure. What it does:

• Provides the phase shift and stored energy the motor needs to start and run smoothly
• Restores proper motor torque to prevent slow or stalled cycles
• Can resolve symptoms such as humming, failure to start, intermittent operation, or reduced motor speed
• Works with the motor's start/run circuit; intended for the specific OEM electrical system

• Disconnect power to the appliance before service to avoid shock hazard
• Discharge the capacitor before handling; use insulated tools and follow safe procedures
• Inspect mounting and wiring; replace with the identical capacitor type and rating

This overload with relay is a thermal motor protector and starter relay assembly that helps prevent motor overheating and enables proper motor start-up. Replacing a worn assembly restores reliable motor starting and protection. What it does:

• Protects the motor from overheating by opening circuit when temperatures get too high
• Provides the relay function that helps the motor start and run smoothly
• Commonly used when the dryer or washer motor hums but won't start, runs intermittently, or stalls
• Helps stop repeated motor runs that can lead to burned windings or further electrical damage

• One overload with relay assembly

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before starting any work
• Handle terminals carefully; verify wire locations or take a photo before removal for correct reassembly
• Test the old unit for continuity and compare mounting/terminal orientation to fit
