Compressor Start Device Parts

Refrigerator making clicking sounds and not cooling? This overload relay kit fixes compressor start problems. Easy DIY repair—pull off old relay and install.

This Temperature Controller regulates cooling by switching power to the compressor and related circuits to hold the set temperature. Replacing a failing controller restores accurate temperature control and reliable operation. What it does:

• Cycles cooling components to maintain the temperature you set
• Helps keep cabinet temperatures consistent for proper food storage
• Coordinates on/off operation to prevent overcooling or warm conditions
• Common failure symptoms: too warm or too cold, runs constantly or won't start, control/dial unresponsive

• 1 temperature controller

• Disconnect power before servicing—this is a line-voltage control
• Access the control area, label or photograph wire positions, and move wires one at a time to the new controller
• Reuse existing mounting hardware and any knob/overlay as applicable
• After install, set to mid setting and allow up to 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize

This electronic controller is the central board that governs your unit's cooling system. It processes temperature inputs and controls key components so the freezer maintains set temperature when the original board fails.

• Regulates temperature by processing sensor/thermostat inputs and issuing commands to cooling components
• Directs compressor and fan operation to maintain the setpoint
• On applicable models, manages defrost timing and cycles
• Common failure symptoms include no cooling or intermittent cooling, unit won't start, runs constantly, unresponsive controls, or erratic temperatures

• Disconnect power before service; observe ESD precautions and handle the board by its edges
• Photograph/label wire connections; transfer any mounting clips/brackets from the original board
• Seat all connectors fully without forcing; avoid touching component pins
• Restore power and allow time for temperatures to stabilize; verify normal operation

Fix a refrigerator that won't start or hums but doesn't run with this compressor start capacitor. Restores reliable cooling when the compressor fails to start.

Refrigerator not cooling or making clicking sounds? This compressor relay and overload kit fixes starting issues. DIY repair takes about 30 minutes.

This evaporator fan blade mounts on the fan motor and circulates cold air across the evaporator coils and throughout the compartments. Replacing a cracked, warped, or loose blade restores proper airflow and stable temperatures.

• Moves air across the evaporator to distribute cooled air evenly
• Helps maintain consistent refrigerator and freezer temperatures
• Common symptoms include weak or no airflow, warm spots, frost buildup on the evaporator cover, and rattling/scraping noises
• Replace if the blade is damaged or spins loosely on the motor shaft

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Remove shelves/bins and the rear evaporator cover to access the fan
• Note blade orientation and seating depth; pull the old blade straight off the motor shaft
• Press the new blade on until fully seated; verify free spin and proper clearance before reassembly

Refrigerator won't cool or compressor clicks but won't start? This PTC start relay powers the compressor's start winding. Common DIY fix, restores cooling.

Fix a refrigerator that won't cool and clicks every few minutes. This start relay and overload assembly mounts on the compressor to restore reliable starting.

Compressor won't start or refrigerator not cooling? This relay and overload kit restores compressor function. DIY-friendly, most installs under 15 minutes.

Refrigerator won't cool or compressor won't start? This compressor start relay energizes the start winding to restore cooling. DIY-friendly repair.

Refrigerator clicking but not cooling? A failed compressor start device causes repeated clicking and warm temps. Quick DIY fix restores reliable starts.

Fix a refrigerator that clicks but won't start or runs warm. This compressor start relay restores reliable startup. Simple DIY repair in under an hour.

This electronic control board manages core cooling functions in your appliance, including compressor/fan operation and the automatic defrost cycle. Replacing a failing board can restore stable temperatures and more reliable, frost-free performance.

• Regulates compressor and evaporator fan operation to maintain the set temperature
• Controls and times the automatic defrost cycle to reduce frost buildup
• Interprets inputs from sensors and user controls to coordinate system responses
• Common symptoms of a failed board: inconsistent temperatures, continuous running or short cycling, heavy frost/ice on coils, or unresponsive/intermittent controls

• Disconnect power before servicing; handle the board with ESD precautions
• Note connector locations; transfer any mounting brackets or covers from the original as needed
• Seat all connectors fully and secure the board before restoring power
• After installation, monitor temperature and defrost operation

Fixes refrigerator not cooling or compressor not starting. This starter relay energizes the compressor start winding for reliable operation. DIY repair.

Refrigerator won't start or clicks repeatedly? A faulty PTC relay prevents the compressor motor from starting. This start device restores operation.

Fix a compressor that won't start, hums, or cycles on and off every few minutes. This motor start capacitor restores reliable compressor operation.
