This compressor overload is the thermal protector for your refrigerator's compressor. It opens the circuit when the motor overheats or draws excessive current, helping prevent damage and restoring reliable starts when the original protector fails.

• Interrupts power to protect the compressor during overheat or overcurrent conditions
• If failed, symptoms include: compressor won't start, repeated clicking or brief hum then stop, warm refrigerator/freezer, and an unusually hot compressor shell
• A weak protector may trip repeatedly and reset after cooling, causing intermittent cooling
• Works in tandem with the start relay/device to manage compressor startup current

• Disconnect power before servicing and pull the unit forward for rear access
• Remove the rear cover; note wire positions and take a photo for reference
• Pull the old overload straight off the compressor terminal; transfer leads and firmly seat the new overload in the same orientation
• Capacitors can retain a charge—handle with care; reinstall cover and restore power to test

This cold control thermostat regulates your refrigerator's temperature by cycling cooling on and off based on air temperature at the sensing bulb. Replacing a worn control restores accurate settings and consistent cooling performance. What it does:

• Monitors compartment temperature via a capillary sensing bulb
• Opens/closes electrical contacts to start and stop the compressor (and related cooling circuits)
• Helps maintain the temperature you set on the control dial
• Failure symptoms include: unit too warm or too cold, runs continuously, won't start until the knob is moved/tapped, or erratic temperature swings

• 1 thermostat

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Note wire positions or take a photo; transfer the dial/shaft and any mounting hardware from the old control if reused
• Route the capillary bulb exactly as original; do not kink, pinch, or cut it; secure with existing clips
• After install, set to a mid setting and allow up to 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize

This is a replacement screw designed to work with a wide range of household appliances. It is used for many purposes in these appliances, from holding body panels together to securing electronics into control boards. However, screws are subject to damage through corrosion, impact, and improper installation/removal. In most cases, the primary damage to this screw is through corrosion – it may become rusted or corroded in place, depending on the appliance and the maintenance provided during its lifespan. The screw may also be stripped or rounded due to improper removal or installation. If the screw is damaged, lost, or corroded in place, it will need to be replaced. In most cases, removal will require nothing more than a Phillips head screwdriver or the appropriately sized socket with a ratchet. However, if the screw is damaged, it may require a tap set to remove it from its mounting location. Note that this is a genuine OEM replacement screw made from durable, high-quality metal, and is sold individually. It fits Whirlpool, Maytag, Roper, Estate, Amana, Crosley, and Thermador appliances. It is used in over 150 machines, ranging from washers and dryers to air conditioners.
