The Compressor Start Relay is an OEM part for LG refrigerators, playing a critical role in the starting mechanism of the compressor. This small but crucial component helps to kickstart the compressor, enabling it to begin the refrigeration cycle that cools the interior of the fridge. 

Causes of a bad Compressor Start Relay include wear and tear over time, electrical surges that can damage the relay, or overheating of the compressor unit. 

Symptoms of a bad Compressor Start Relay include:

• The refrigerator failing to cool properly or maintain the set temperature.
• A noticeable increase in the electric bill due to the refrigerator working harder to maintain temperatures.
• Strange noises, such as clicking sounds from the compressor area
• The compressor not starting at all, leading to a complete lack of cooling within the refrigerator.

This OEM LG part is also compatible with some Kenmore models.

This overload protector is a safety device that helps prevent compressor damage by stopping electrical current during overheating or locked-rotor conditions. It's a direct-fit replacement that restores proper compressor protection and helps keep the appliance running safely. What it does:

• Protects the compressor by interrupting power if the motor overheats or experiences an electrical fault
• Common symptom: refrigerator runs but compressor won't start or only hums
• Common symptom: fridge cycles frequently or doesn't maintain temperature due to compressor protection tripping
• Works with the start device to help ensure reliable compressor startup

• Disconnect power before servicing; work only with the appliance unplugged
• Access typically requires removing the rear access panel to reach the compressor area
• Replace using the same mounting and terminal connections; ensure secure electrical connections

The Damper Motor Support is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. It holds the damper motor in place, ensuring proper air flow between the refrigerator and freezer compartments. This support is essential for maintaining the correct temperature balance within the appliance.

Causes of a bad damper motor support can include wear and tear over time, physical damage from impacts, or exposure to moisture that can weaken the support structure. A faulty support can lead to improper functioning of the damper motor, affecting the refrigerator's cooling efficiency.

Symptoms of a bad Damper Motor Support include:

• Inconsistent temperatures between refrigerator and freezer
• Unusual noises coming from the damper area
• Visible damage or cracks in the support
• Reduced cooling efficiency

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore models.
