• Helps ensure smooth compressor starts and reduces repeated start attempts
• Signs of a failed start device can include no cooling because the compressor won't run
• Clicking or buzzing from the compressor area every few minutes
• Compressor starts intermittently or stops shortly after starting

• Includes: 1 PTC start relay

• Disconnect power and pull the refrigerator forward to access the rear service area
• Remove the rear panel to reach the compressor compartment
• Unplug the wire harness and pull the old relay straight off the compressor terminals; note its orientation
• Push the new relay fully onto the compressor prongs, reconnect the harness, reinstall the panel, and restore power
