This overload is a thermal protection device that mounts on the motor/compressor and opens the circuit when excessive heat or current is detected. Replacing a weak or failed overload helps restore safe startup and protects the windings from damage. What it does:

• Monitors motor/compressor temperature and current draw
• Interrupts power on overheat/overload to prevent damage
• Aids troubleshooting of start/run issues when paired with the start device
• Common symptoms: hums then clicks off, won't start, intermittent shutdown, frequent tripping

• 1 thermal overload protector

• Disconnect power before servicing; allow components to cool
• Access the terminal area on the motor/compressor; remove any cover
• Note/photograph wire positions; transfer wires and fully seat the new overload on the correct terminal
• Inspect the start relay, capacitor, and terminals for heat damage; replace any compromised parts

The Alumilastic Cement is an OEM part for Whirlpool appliances, typically used in refrigerators and freezers. It serves as a thermal mastic compound, designed to provide a secure and heat-conductive bond between various components, such as evaporator coils and the interior walls of the appliance. 

Causes of a bad alumilastic cement can include drying out, cracking, or losing its adhesive properties over time. This can occur due to age, exposure to temperature fluctuations, or improper application. When the cement fails, it can lead to poor thermal conductivity and decreased cooling efficiency.

Symptoms of a bad alumilastic cement include:

• Reduced cooling performance
• Unusual noises from the cooling system
• Components becoming loose or detaching
• Increased energy consumption

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
