• Common symptoms a bad relay may cause: compressor clicking, humming without starting, intermittent cooling or frequent cycling.
• Installed as the electrical component used only on compatible compressor assemblies.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical shock.
• Access the relay at the compressor; remove and replace the relay only after confirming diagnostics.
• Dispose of the old electrical part per local regulations.
