Roper Refrigerator RT14DKYGN02 Won't start or doesn't start

This compressor overload is a thermal protector that opens the circuit if the compressor overheats or draws excessive current. Replacing a failed overload restores reliable starts and helps prevent compressor damage when your refrigerator won't cool.

• Protects the compressor by interrupting power during overheat/overcurrent conditions
• Common symptoms: refrigerator not cooling, compressor won't start, repeated clicking or brief hum then shutoff
• Mounts on the compressor terminal and works alongside the start relay on applicable models
• Built for proper fit and dependable operation in the start circuit

• Unplug the refrigerator and remove the rear access panel to reach the compressor
• Note wire positions; pull the old overload straight off the compressor pin
• Push the new overload fully onto the correct terminal and reconnect wiring/terminal cover
• Restore power and verify the compressor starts without repeated clicking
