This overload protector is a direct-replacement compressor protector that helps prevent compressor damage by cutting power when the motor overheats or draws excessive current. It restores normal operation once the compressor cools. What it does:

• Protects the refrigerator compressor from overheating and overcurrent conditions
• Interrupts power when the compressor draws excessive current or fails to start
• Common symptom link: fridge not cooling while compressor hums, clicks, or won't run
• Works with the compressor's start components to help prevent motor burnout

• Disconnect electrical power to the appliance before accessing the compressor
• Mounts to and plugs onto the compressor terminals; ensure firm, clean connections
• No refrigerant handling is required for this part; do not open sealed refrigeration lines

This overload protector helps protect the refrigerator compressor from overheating and electrical overloads, reducing the risk of damage. It restores proper compressor starting when the protector has failed. What it does:

• Senses excessive heat or current and interrupts power to the compressor to prevent damage.
• Commonly replaced when the compressor won't start, runs intermittently, or only hums.
• Works with the compressor start components to allow safe restart after an overload condition.
• Provides a compact, inline thermal/electrical safety device for the compressor circuit.

• One overload protector

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing the part.
• Install on the compressor terminals as shown in the OEM wiring diagram; ensure secure terminal connections.
• Replace related start components (relay/capacitor) only if diagnosed as faulty—do not assume other parts are included.
