This compressor overload is the thermal protector for your refrigerator's compressor. It opens the circuit when the motor overheats or draws excessive current, helping prevent damage and restoring reliable starts when the original protector fails.
This PTC start relay mounts on the compressor and momentarily powers the start winding to get the motor running, then disengages for normal operation. Replacing a weak relay can stop repeated clicking and help restore cooling.
