This PTC motor start relay provides the temporary start circuit needed for the motor to spin up, restoring normal starting on appliances with a failed start relay. Simple replacement for appliances that won't start or hum at power-up. What it does

• Supplies a temporary current path to the motor's start winding during startup.
• Drops out once the motor reaches running speed so the motor operates on its run winding.
• Commonly used when an appliance won't start, hums but won't spin, or has intermittent start problems.
• Works with the motor and start circuitry; does not include a motor or harness.

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid shock or injury.
• Access usually requires removing an access panel—keep track of screws and mounting hardware.
• Replace with the exact part number shown on your appliance or parts list; ensure correct orientation and secure connections.

This terminal cover protects the appliance's power connection area, keeping wiring and terminals enclosed to reduce shock and short risks. It's a direct-replacement trim piece that restores the factory protective barrier around the terminal block. What it does:

• Covers and shields the terminal block where the power cord connects, helping prevent accidental contact.
• Helps reduce the risk of shorting or arcing at exposed power connections.
• Addresses symptoms like visible exposed terminals, loose or unprotected wiring at the power entry area, or a missing/broken cover.
• Restores the appliance's intended safety enclosure after repair or shipping damage.

• One terminal cover

• Always disconnect all power (unplug or shut off breaker) before accessing the terminal block.
• Remove the old cover and position the replacement over the terminal area so mounting holes align; secure with the original screw(s).
• Inspect terminal screws and wiring for tightness and damage while cover is off; do not attempt electrical repairs.
• If terminals or wiring are damaged, replace or repair those components before reinstalling the cover.
