Relay, Overload, Capacitor

This electronic controller is the central board that governs your unit's cooling system. It processes temperature inputs and controls key components so the freezer maintains set temperature when the original board fails.

• Regulates temperature by processing sensor/thermostat inputs and issuing commands to cooling components
• Directs compressor and fan operation to maintain the setpoint
• On applicable models, manages defrost timing and cycles
• Common failure symptoms include no cooling or intermittent cooling, unit won't start, runs constantly, unresponsive controls, or erratic temperatures

• Disconnect power before service; observe ESD precautions and handle the board by its edges
• Photograph/label wire connections; transfer any mounting clips/brackets from the original board
• Seat all connectors fully without forcing; avoid touching component pins
• Restore power and allow time for temperatures to stabilize; verify normal operation

If your ice maker stops cooling or the compressor won't run, the overload protector may have failed. This component shields the compressor from damage.

Compressor won't start or refrigerator not cooling? This relay and overload kit restores compressor function. DIY-friendly, most installs under 15 minutes.

Fixes refrigerator not cooling or compressor not starting. This starter relay energizes the compressor start winding for reliable operation. DIY repair.

This is a compressor start relay that helps the compressor motor start up by providing the initial surge of power needed. It is a small device that typically mounts directly onto the compressor. Replace this part if the compressor fails to start, runs intermittently, or if you hear repeated clicking sounds coming from the back of the unit.

Fix a compressor that won't start, hums, or cycles on and off every few minutes. This motor start capacitor restores reliable compressor operation.

Fixes a refrigerator that won't cool while lights and fans work. This thermal overload protector prevents compressor damage. DIY install in 15 minutes.

Fix a refrigerator that clicks but won't start or runs warm. This compressor start relay restores reliable startup. Simple DIY repair in under an hour.

This run capacitor helps the refrigerator compressor start and run smoothly, restoring normal operation when a weak or failed capacitor causes the compressor to struggle. Replacing a faulty capacitor can reduce humming and improve cooling performance. What it does:

• Provides continuous phase-shift to the compressor motor for stable running.
• Helps maintain proper compressor speed and efficiency during operation.
• Commonly replaced when the compressor hums, won't stay running, or cooling is inconsistent.
• Reduces risk of repeated motor cycling caused by a weak or open capacitor.

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before accessing electrical components.
• Discharge the capacitor before handling; capacitors can hold a charge even when powered off.
• Observe terminal orientation and mounting location; replace with the same type and ratings.

Fix a clicking compressor or refrigerator that won't cool. This start relay and overload assembly restores compressor startup. DIY repair in 10-15 minutes.

Fix a refrigerator that hums and shuts down or won't start with this compressor overload protector. Simple DIY repair that restores safe operation.

Compressor won't start or runs intermittently? This start relay and overload helps the motor get up to speed so your refrigerator runs reliably again.

This compressor overload is a thermal/protective device that helps prevent compressor damage by cutting power when the motor overheats or draws excessive current. It restores normal operation once conditions return to safe levels. What it does:

• Protects the refrigerator compressor from overheating and electrical overloads
• Works with the compressor start relay to help the motor start and run properly
• Common symptom linkage: replaces a failed overload when the compressor hums but won't start
• Stops compressor cycling or prevents repeated trips that cause cooling loss

• One compressor overload (single piece as shown)

• Disconnect all power before replacing to avoid shock or injury
• Handle terminals carefully and reconnect matching terminal positions
• Replace only with the same part number or equivalent
• If compressor still won't start after replacing the overload, check the start relay and compressor condition.

Fix a clicking fridge that won't cool with this compressor overload protector. Protects motor from overheating damage. Simple 10-15 minute DIY repair.

Fix a refrigerator that won't cool or start. This compressor start relay helps your compressor run reliably and prevents clicking sounds. Easy DIY repair.

This is a compressor overload protector that prevents the compressor motor from overheating by cutting power when excessive current or temperature is detected. It attaches directly to the compressor and is a critical safety component. Replace this part if the compressor fails to start, cycles on and off repeatedly, or if the refrigerator stops cooling entirely.
