Description
The Compressor Start Relay is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This component helps to kickstart the compressor, facilitating the refrigeration cycle that cools the interior of the fridge.
Such issues can stem from electrical failures within the relay, physical damage, or wear and tear from regular use. When the relay does not function correctly, it can lead to inconsistent cooling and, in severe cases, cause the compressor to overheat and fail prematurely.
Symptoms of a failing Compressor Start Relay include:
- The refrigerator not cooling properly or not cooling at all
- A noticeable clicking sound emanating from the back of the refrigerator, indicating the relay is trying to start the compressor but failing
- The refrigerator starts and stops frequently, unable to maintain a constant temperature
This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
This part fixes the following symptoms
- Clicking sound
- Won't start
- Freezer section too warm
- Fridge too warm
- Noisy
